Demanding justice（2）

Franklin Garcia glared at her and thought of how she loved music when she was a child and became famous for her singing later on. When he returned from his business trip, he heard that Carl Edwards had stolen over fifty million from her. That amount of money would have been enough to provide capital for the Garcia family's conglomerate, which was in urgent need of it, but it had been snatched away by an outsider.

"This is outrageous," he slapped the coffee table in anger. "I'll have Alice Garcia come back and explain to you."

Jane's eyes were full of tears, but she shook her head. "Dad, please don't. Mom will protect her. I don't want to make things difficult for you..."

Franklin Garcia frowned. He knew that Elizabeth protected her niece, but she was still an outsider. "It's okay. Just wait, I will make sure justice is served for you."

If she hadn't gotten cancer, she could have married into a good family with this face and brought glory to the Jane family. Even if he was usually indifferent, he couldn't let an outsider threaten his daughter's life.

Franklin Garcia made several phone calls.

Within half an hour, Elizabeth and Alice Garcia rushed back to his room. They were both wary when they saw Jane sitting on the sofa with swollen eyes and wiping her tears.

Franklin Garcia looked at Alice Garcia with a cold and stern face. "Alice Garcia, did you really poison Jane like she claimed?"

Alice Garcia was shocked. She had done it very discreetly, dismissing all the servants at the time. No one knew about it except Elizabeth. "Dad, I don't know what she's talking about."

Alice Garcia had come to the Jane family at the age of fourteen and was now twenty-eight. She had been with the Jane family for exactly fourteen years.

During those fourteen years, she had everything Jane had. But in the end, she tried to harm the rightful owner?

Elizabeth familiarly massaged Franklin Garcia's shoulders and looked at Alice Garcia. She jumped up and knelt in front of Franklin Garcia. "Uncle, I didn't poison Jane, I really didn't," she turned to Jane. "Jane, do you have any evidence that I did it?"

Jane looked at Alice Garcia firmly, then at Franklin Garcia and nodded. "I do."

Upon hearing her unpleasant voice, Elizabeth and Alice Garcia were both taken aback. However, they were secretly happy as the poison did not kill Jane, but ruined her voice.

It wasn't for nothing.

Just when they were convinced that Jane was just exaggerating, Aunt Xia led in a young girl who lowered her head in fear when she saw so many people in the room.

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow when she saw Aunt Xia and the girl. "What are you doing here?"

Jane got up and slowly walked up to the girl, holding her hand. "Tell us everything you know, and I promise you'll be okay."

Although her voice was unpleasant, every word was carefully enunciated and clear, and it invisibly produced a powerful force.

Alice Garcia was furious. "You're talking nonsense," she said, as there was no one around when she poisoned Jane.

The girl was taken aback by her reaction and looked at Jane, who stared at Alice Garcia sharply. "Do you dare to admit it?"

Alice Garcia did not expect anyone to have evidence and looked anxiously at Elizabeth. Elizabeth frowned but had not yet spoken when Aunt Xia said, "Sir, this is such a big matter. I think we should call the police and let them handle it."

Jane nodded in agreement. "Yes, Dad, I won't give up unless the person who harmed me is punished."

She covered her throat, looking heartbroken

The girl looked up at Jane hesitantly, then glanced at Franklin Garcia and fearfully at Alice Garcia. "I saw Miss pour poison into the rock sugar with my own eyes," she said.

Alice Garcia was furious. "You're talking nonsense," she retorted. "There was nobody around when I poisoned it."

The girl was startled by her outburst and looked to Jane with a sharp glare. "Do you dare admit to it?" Jane said with a sharp look.

Alice Garcia never expected anyone to have witnessed her act. She looked to Elizabeth, who furrowed her brow, but before she could speak, the nanny said, "Sir, this is such a serious matter. I think we should call the police and let them handle it."

Jane nodded in agreement. "Yes, Dad. If we don't punish the person who harmed me, I won't let it go."

She held her throat, looking heartbroken and pitiful, as if she were a pear blossom ravaged by a storm. It was truly a sight to behold.

Franklin Garcia frowned, and Elizabeth turned to him. "Avan, this is a family matter after all. A scandal like this would tarnish Jane's reputation if it gets out. Besides, she's only lost her voice. She's not injured. It's better to deal with family matters at home."

Jane was incredulous at Elizabeth's audacity. "Mom, have you forgotten what my biggest dream is? You've always supported me."

Elizabeth had gone to great lengths to support her singing career, but now she spoke dismissively about her damaged voice.

Did she know the kind of pain Jane felt when she learned she could never sing again?

"Madam, Jane values her voice the most. Now that it's damaged, it's a huge blow to her. Moreover, she makes a living with her voice. If it's destroyed, who will be responsible for her?" the nanny interjected in anger.

Elizabeth shot her a cold glance. "When did the servants of the Jane family have the right to dictate?"
