Chapter 280: Murder Suspect

Chapter 280: Murder Suspect 

The news hit Jocelyn like a bolt out of the blue.She had received many blows today.Her head suddenlybecame woozy and she felt like fainting.

"Dad, please calm down.Even though my mother did something wrong, you shouldn’t abandonher.She’s your wife.You have to replace a way to save her."

Leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed, Jocelyn begged her father pitifully.Her mother washer source of support.She would be lost in this world without Fiona by her side.

The happenings of the past few days had made her cry several times.

Since the Lind family went bankrupt, she had suffered a lot.

She became the mistress of an old married man, and now, she had suffered a miscarriage , Jocelyndidn’t know who to blame for her suffering.

At this moment, Bernie’s voice came again from the other end of the line.He sounded as if he had ageda lot within seconds.

"By the way, why are you in the hospital?"

Sheer embarrassment made Jocelyn hesitate.

After biting her lower lip for a long time, she held her face with one hand and replied sadly, "I had amiscarriage.It was Luke’s baby but he didn’t want it.He asked his driver to hit me.He intentionally mademe miscarry the baby!"

Jocelyn cried and shouted to vent her anger.

Bernie instantly had a splitting headache.

This was the last thing he wanted to hear.He knew before that his daughter was Luke’s mistress.Hebegan to suspect her when she suddenly brought a large sum of money and moved them into a newvilla.

Jocelyn didn’t have a job, so it was suspicious that she managed to get the money and live anextravagant life.

His suspicion had been confirmed when he overheard her talking to Luke on the phone.

The Tumer family of Seacisco was well-known in the world.

Bernie had also heard of it.It was then he confirmed that his daughter had a sugar daddy.

However, there was nothing he could do to put an end to the relationship.He couldn’t because Jocelynrefused to listen to him; also, the Lind Group indeed needed funds.

All his efforts to dissuade her from continuing her relationship with Luke failed.

He was forced to stop pestering her afterward.

"You brought this upon yourself, Jocelyn.You have no self-respect! I advised you not to date thatman.You and your mother were colluding to do something evil after she first got out of jail.Have youseen where disobedience has landed you? You should have listened to me! You aren’t a three-year-oldchild who needs to be pushed around.I want you to know that you and your mother are to blame foryour current situation!"

Bernie said without mincing words.

"Dad, why are you blaming Mom and me? We are not at fault.Everything is Janet’s fault! If it weren’t forthat bitch, my mother and I won’t be in this situation.We wouldn’t have gotten bankrupt if she hadn’tbetrayed us.All her atrocities are what pushed me into dating Luke in the first place,"

Jocelyn retorted in a low voice.

The pain all over her body was rapidly draining her strength.

Bernie was completely disappointed with Fiona now.He didn’t want to have anything to do with her.

More so, he wouldn’t be able to help her even if he wanted to.His hands were tied.

"You know that our family no longer has power like before.There’s nothing I can do to get your motherout of prison."

Despite her father’s logical excuse, Jocelyn still didn’t want to give up.She suggested, "We used tohave many loyal partners, didn’t we? Last time I checked.some of them were still on good terms withyou.Please ask them for help.I’m sure they will come to your aid."

"No, they won’t help me.I have been blacklisted by all of them since our fortune went down the drain."

Bernie’s annoyance towards Jocelyn didn’t affect the fatherly love he had for her.

After sighing deeply, he asked, Which hospital Are you in?

'' I'll pick you up." He rushed down to the hospital and brought Jocelyn back home.

Bernie’s heart ached when he saw his daughter in this sorry state.

After helping her to her bedroom, he said, "Let bygones, be bygones.We need to start afresh.Don’tcovet whatever doesn’t belong to you from now on.I’ll replace a pood husband for you.But if you don’t wantto get married, it’s fine.I will continue to support you for as long as you don’t spend extravagantly."

Jocelyn’s eyes were void of their usual spark.

As her father spoke, she just lay on the bed without saying a word.Bernie couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

All of a sudden, the doorbell of the front door rang.He rushed downstairs to answer it.

To his surprise, a group of uniformed police officers stood outside.

"Hello, we are here for Jocelyn Lind.She’s wanted for a murder case.She has to come with us to thestation," one of them said with a deep frown.
