Chapter 619: 209: Commit murder, go to prison, establish parent-child relationship! _4

Painful!

Extremely painful!

“This strike is for your inaction as a father!”

Viola Thompson raised the wooden stick and hit again.

James cried out in pain.

It was at this moment that James finally realized that Viola was here to seek justice for Olivia Cooper and immediately looked up at Viola, “You’ve got the wrong person for revenge! I’ve never laid a finger on my daughter! The one who beat her was Nidya! The one who killed her was Nidya too, you should go find Nidya! Why are you coming after me?”

Though James liked to drink, gamble, and often abused Nidya.

But.

No matter how much he drank, he would never lay a hand on Olivia.

At most, it was only verbal threats.

It was always Nidya who laid hands on Olivia.

Viola frowned slightly, “Let me ask you, when Nidya was abusing Olivia, what were you doing? As a father, did you stop Nidya?”

Indifference and bystander complicity are equal crimes.

If James had tried to intervene even a little, things wouldn’t have ended up this way!

Olivia wouldn’t have died!

“I…” James stammered for a long time before finally saying, “I never thought that crazy woman would beat someone to death…”

By the end, James even started to cry, “When Olivia died, I was heartbroken too!”

Although she wasn’t his biological child.

But Olivia was the daughter that he watched growing up.

Plus, Olivia was always well-behaved, sensible, and obedient.

“I only had one daughter! I only had one daughter, and if she’s dead, who’s going to care for me when I grow old?”

“Nidya is such a vicious woman, I can’t share the same sky with her!”

“I’ll kill her!” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Ultimately, he was a selfish egotist.

Even now, James had never felt heartbroken over Olivia’s death.

What truly upset him was that without Olivia, no one would provide for him in his old age.

Self-centered people, in the end, only think about themselves.

Viola raised the wooden stick again, and before James could react, it crashed down on his back.

James groaned in pain.

It hurt so much.

He felt like his ribs had been broken!

“Does it hurt?” Viola spoke calmly.

A cold light seemed to cover her delicate jade-like features.

“It hurts!”

James lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

“Did Olivia hurt when she was being beaten? At that time, she was in a thousand times more pain than you are now!”

James cried out, “Miss, I was wrong! Can you forgive me? I didn’t want Olivia to die either…”

Viola raised the stick again.

Just then, two police officers approached them.

One of them said cautiously, “Howard, there seems to be something going on over there!”

Howard glanced over, saw James’s face, and immediately grabbed his companion’s hand, “You saw it wrong! Let’s go that way!”

People like James deserved a good beating!

Although Olivia’s death had nothing to do with him, as her father, he failed to take any responsibility.

He was even worse than a stranger!

Howard walked away while looking back, and gave Viola a ‘thumbs up’ gesture.

Viola landed several more heavy blows on James.

Then, she threw away the stick, looked at James, and spoke softly, “Have you ever thought about why Nidya would frame you for murder?”

“Why?” James looked up at Viola.

Viola continued, “Because she wants you to disappear from this world forever.”

James knew that Nidya wanted him dead, but he couldn’t figure out why!

Even if Nidya hated him, it wouldn’t be to the point that she would want him dead.

“What would my disappearance do to benefit her?” James asked.

“Because of one person.”

Hearing this, James was stunned at first, and then became extremely angry, “That bitch Nidya, does she have someone else outside?!”

“Not exactly for that reason,” Viola replied calmly, “Did you ever wonder why Nidya has been enduring and swallowing her anger all these years?”

“Why?” James couldn’t quite grasp it at the moment.

“Because your biological daughter with Nidya, Sophie Cooper, is not dead at all.” Viola continued, “Now that I’ve said this, you should be able to figure out the reason, right?”

What!

His biological daughter, Sophie Cooper, was actually alive!

She really wasn’t dead!

James stared in disbelief, astonishment in his eyes.

He quickly understood the meaning behind Viola’s words.
