Chapter 397 Was My Acting Good?
After hanging up the phone, Clark glanced at the screen again.
Some servants had discovered that something was wrong with the Wrights, not long after, so an ambulance rushed over and brought everyone in the living room away.
Clark scoffed and turned off the monitor.
"It’s estimated that it’ll take half an hour to get here from the Wrights’ mansion. We'll leave when Serenity’s here," Clark said.
"Okay,” the man beside him responded.
Half an hour later, the panic-stricken Serenity appeared within Clark's sight.
Clark gave off a deep smirk.
When Serenity got to the chopper, Clark asked his man to pick her up directly.
"Good girl, you've done well this time. From now on, you and grandpa will be together. Both of us will stay with each other and depend on each other." Clark asserted with a contented smile.
"Grandpa.” Serenity seemed to have felt something, so she threw herself into Clark's arms and started crying.
Clark hugged her with a smile.
Suddenly, Clark felt a cold touch on his neck!
The person next to Clark shouted in shock, "Serenity Wright! What are you doing?”
It was uncertain since when a gun appeared in Serenity's hand, and it was pointing at the back of Clark's head at the moment.
Clark let go of Serenity and glared coldly at her." Serenity, what do you think you're doing?"
Serenity grabbed Clark and pointed her gun at Clark's forehead. "What do you think?"
Clark squinted. "Don’t you forget that I'm your grandpa!"
"Yes." A flicker of agony flashed through Serenity's eyes. "But you... You're also a traitor!"
Clark sneered. "Judging from that look of yours, George and the others should be fine?"
Clark looked calm from the outside, but he was agitated deep down!
How come? He had clearly seen Serenity drug everyone and then inject them with the virus.
"Why not? Take a look outside." Serenity raised her brows.
Clark turned his head slowly and saw that the Canadian police had surrounded the helicopter.
George and other officials were walking toward him.
Serenity restrained Clark, then dragged him off the chopper directly.
"Pawpaw Clark." George gazed at him in anguish." Why is it you?"
Why? The person who plotted all the incidents turned out to be Pawpaw Clark, whom he regarded as a close relative. What had he done to wrong him so that he would do so to the Wrights?
"Hah, why couldn't it be me?" Clark knew that he had fallen into the trap today. Thus, he chose not to hide anymore, so his originally amiable expression had already turned sheer cold. "I'm just an old
man. If I lose, I lose, I don't mind. But Serenity did a lot of bad things with me, but she chose you at the last moment, hoping that you can let her go."
"Pawpaw Clark, you..." Serenity stared at Pawpaw Clark in shock.
"Pawpaw Clark, you don't have to sow discord." Luna said regretfully, "We clearly know what Serene is like, and we believe that she had never taken part in all those incidents."
Luna did not hesitate, so Clark could not help but squint. "Since I’ve lost today, I have nothing else to say. I just want to know what on earth is going on? I saw Serenity inject you with the virus."
Everyone looked at Julian together.
Clark followed their sight, then clenched his fists and spoke with a cold tone. "You?!" "It's me," Julian replied calmly.
"How did you find out that something was wrong?" Clark asked with a tranquil tone as if it was a conversation between two old friends.
Julian raised his eyebrows. "That's a long story."
“Shoot me, at least let me rest in peace," Clark said.
Julian replied indifferently, "To be honest, it's probably during our meeting in that town area, in which you used the identity of 'King' as a disguise."
"That time?" Clark was doubtful and became a little discomposed.
Julian had actually noticed that something seemed wrong since that time. His silhouette and voice, the background, everything, had been processed, so how had Julian found out?This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"You were indeed very cautious, you barely showed any traces. The only thing was that at the end of the projection. The button to turn off the projection was clearly on your left, so any ordinary person would have turned it off with their left hand. However, you neglected the reflex action of the body and chose to use your right hand instead."
"So that’s it?" Clark’s expression was gloomy.
"At first, I didn't understand that, either. Why would you do so? But still, I got it in the end." Julian took a glimpse at Clark's left hand. "You're a lefty, but in order to hide this from everybody else, you'd been using your right hand all this while. However, you had overdone it. An ordinary person wouldn't deliberately avoid using their left hand. Doing so actually proved that you’re hiding something."
Clark glared coldly at Julian. "I admit that you're very observant. But, you recognized me based just on that?"
"Of course, not just that." Julian responded lightly, " After that, Susie was poisoned, and I found out that you’re particularly concerned about her condition.”
"Couldn't it be that I care for her?"
Julian shook his head. "If you truly cared for Susie, you would be concerned about her condition.
However, your focus was on the cure for Susie's detoxification. That, to me, was very suspicious."
"Based on these two points alone, the evidence you had was still lacking." Clark continued.
"There was another thing." Julian raised his brows once again. "When Susie and Serene were kidnapped, only Susie was injected with the Errol Virus, why? Why would that person keep his hands off Serene alone? So after that incident, I went deep into checking Serene's antecedents, and I found that the identity of her grandparents was unknown. And then I noticed that your
daughter was abducted when she was a little girl. So, I calculated the time and found out that if your daughter was still here, she should be around Faye Shannon's age."
"And you confirmed my identity just like that? This might just be a coincidence.” Clark creased his eyebrows.
"When there are too many coincidences, they add up and become the inevitable." Julian smiled. "Of course, those were only speculations. I could not draw a conclusion from that. So, I found Serene and told her that her antecedents might contain mysteries. There’s a possibility that the person behind the curtain would make another scene using her identity. I even told her about my speculation about you being her grandpa."
"Yeap." Serenity nodded and gazed at Clark. "Julian had already informed me before you revealed the truth of my antecedents to me. I was already mentally prepared for that."
"You... But you were so astonished!" Clark looked dumbfounded.
Serenity instantly revealed a charming smile. "Didn't you know? It's my dream to become an actress! Was m y acting good?”
