Chapter 1012 - 1015: Mommy, They’re Suspecting We’re Thieves

Accused of being a traitor, Weston Hawthorne is already dead, and the Hawthorne Family is shattered. Now is the best time to deal with the Hawthorne Family.

"No, I only learned about Weston Hawthorne later when attending the funeral with Jared Quinn. I had never heard of him before. How could I have been the last person to see him alive?" Melody Thorne said calmly.

"Miss Thorne, are you sure you only heard about him at his funeral?" Weston Hawthorne narrowed his eyes. "I heard that for some reason you saved him once and even visited him at the hospital."

Melody Thorne realized that her solo hospital visit with Adjutant Chaucer had gone unnoticed. Many soldiers were there when she saved Weston Hawthorne, and any one of them might have leaked the information.

"Oh, I remember," Melody Thorne pretended to understand. "Someone was chasing me that day, so I ran up to the mountain and accidentally saw a dying man. He asked me to save him, so I called for help on his phone, and then he was taken away. But that person referred to him as General, so I didn’t know he was Weston Hawthorne.

But I fainted too, and they took me to the hospital with him. At that time, Weston Hawthorne wasn’t dead yet; he had so many family members. How could I be the last person he saw?"

Councilor Gu looked at a soldier beside him, and the soldier nodded, confirming her story.

"Miss Thorne, did Weston Hawthorne give you anything?"

"No, what could he give me? He was dying when I saved him. When I woke up, Jared Quinn came to pick me up, and I left. Wait a minute, Councilor Gu, what’s all this questioning for? Are you saying you’re searching for something?"

"Mommy, people are suspecting we’re thieves. You need to tell Dad immediately."

Councilor Gu: "Little Master, don’t misunderstand my meaning. Giving and stealing are not on the same level."

"But my mommy already said that person didn’t give her anything, yet you insist he did. What’s that about?" Timmy licked his candy, confused.

"We’re investigating an item coincidentally related to your mommy, so we’re asking."

"Until you ask, you can’t claim this item is related to my mom. That’s what Dad said." Timmy sucked his candy, his dark eyes twinkling.

Councilor Gu’s expression was no longer as friendly as before, thinking that as a country’s councilor, he was being rebutted by a child once again.

"Well... my child has been smart since young, how about this: if you have some snacks, buy a little and return, and he’ll quiet down," Melody Thorne chuckled twice.

"Mommy, don’t you know bribing children with snacks is wrong?" Timmy blinked.

Melody Thorne: "Don’t you also want some snacks? At home, your dad doesn’t allow you to eat them. I’m so good to you, letting you have snacks outside."

"If you treat me like this, be careful, Dad might punish you."

Melody Thorne: "..."

This ungrateful child!

"Miss Thorne," Councilor Gu interrupted them, "please answer my question."

"What question? Didn’t I already answer it?"

Councilor Gu took a piece of paper from his subordinate’s hand and showed her the drawing on it. "Do you recognize this?"
