Chapter 325: Decision(1/2)
Luona asked everyone to wait patiently in the banquet hall on the grounds of everyone's safety.
Waiting for her to finally confirm that the contaminants pose no threat to everyone, then she will let everyone leave.
The Church of Holy Judgment's 'professionalism' in dealing with strange evils, as well as Luona's good reputation, made everyone accept this idea for the time being, although some people had some small complaints.
Later, Estiva selected a few "highly respected" people from among the guests, and asked them to follow her to the kitchen and public restrooms to check on them, to show fairness.
The people who were asked expressed their willingness. Of course, Sheryl and the female employee would definitely go together.
The two martyrs were like cold demon statues, guarding the only exit of the banquet hall. The body was covered and the medical team was examining it. Most of the guests found places to rest away from the medical team and the dining table.
Estiva has not arranged any more drinks or meals at this moment, and these guests will not have much appetite now.
"Ms. Mirror of Holy Light." Estiva and Luona walked side by side on the road.
"Sister Eddie, please call me Luona." Luona replied gently.
She understood why Estiva suddenly called herself that.
The Boomer family is now in a predicament of murdering the royal family. Most people would not want to get close to the Boomer family at this time.
Naturally, Estiva would not do such villainous behavior.
Luona's attitude made Estiva feel warm in her heart, thinking that the friend her brother had made was really a good one.
"Luona." Estiva smiled reluctantly, "Have you notified the church?"
Because Felix was attending the banquet alone this time, the news of the poisoning incident in the banquet hall has not yet spread.
No guest would be stupid enough to reveal the news first at this time, because no matter what the result is, it will definitely offend the Bulma family, and maybe even the royal family.
Besides, the actual benefits that can be obtained by revealing this news are very low. If you draw fire and draw suspicion on yourself, it will really outweigh the gains and losses.
The Boomer family is engaged in the 'distance' business, and the mysterious media company that has been suppressing news about Joni Bonny and the Boomer Group was secretly run by Estiva.
Among all the guests, only one person can deliver the news openly.
That's Luona!
‘Exotic evil’ is the area in which the Holy Judgment Church is best at, and they have absolute authority and control in this area.
During the demon incident in the Kryptonite mining area in Rhodes City, Saint Margaret had absolute command authority.
"I haven't informed the church about the incident here yet. Does Sister Addie have any good suggestions?" Luona behaved thoughtfully and intimately towards Estiva in private, and her words were very beautiful.
The two walked in front, talking in low voices as they walked.
"Sheryl will probably get into a lot of trouble this time. She has also dragged the family into a disadvantageous situation."
Estiva spoke sincerely:
"But please believe me. From beginning to end, I had no knowledge of this matter? I can guarantee with my own personality that if the murderer is really Sheryl, this is definitely her personal behavior? With Bu
There is no relationship with the Ma family, I hope Luona can make this clear to you."
Estiva puts the interests of the family first at all times. What she is most worried about at the moment is that because of Sheryl, the royal family will be at odds with the family? This is definitely something that the group's senior management is not willing to face.
She said this because she hoped that Luona, as a third party, could speak for the Boomer family.
"I know." Luona immediately understood what the other party meant? "Actually, I don't want to believe that sister Sheryl is the murderer. After all, Dean... Dean is her biological brother..."
"If there is really a murderer here? It can only be her." Estiva said this without emotion.
Luona looked at her in surprise.
"I didn't find anything in the investigation of the incident a few months ago." Estiva then explained, "There are some clues that indicate that Dean was attacked and disappeared at a coming-of-age ceremony before. It has something to do with Sheryl."
"Ah?!" Luona whispered softly after hearing the words, and then subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Sheryl.
The latter walked among the crowd with a calm face. There was no hint of a suspect. She didn't seem to care about the whispers of the two women in front of her.
"Dean has told you before, what happened to him on the golf course." Estiva continued.
Someone who can transfer 10 million immediately after getting the money? Esteva doesn't think that her brother's relationship with the female bishop in front of her is just an ordinary friend.
This was also one of the reasons why she dared to speak directly to the other party just now to speak for the Boomer family.
But now, since I have asked the other party to ask for my favor, I naturally have to take the initiative to come up with some ‘things’ first.
"Well, he said that Dean felt very guilty about Mr. Cheeman's bad news." Luona didn't hide anything.
"Cheeman has a very good relationship with Sherrill. He listens to Sherrill. Just this morning, Sherrill actually asked me about Cheeman's news."
"Does this sound normal?" Luona was a little confused, 'Didn't I just say that the two of them have a good relationship?'
"Sheryl has always been aloof and indifferent. Apart from Dorothy, this is the first time I've seen her take the initiative to consult me for other people's information." Esteva immediately answered Luona's confusion.
"Besides, don't you think Dean's attitude towards Sheryl today is strange?" Esteva said her thoughts one after another.
"Attitude?" Luona seemed to think about it for a moment, "Sister Eddie, did you mean when he was toasting?"
Estiva nodded, "When Dean comes back this time, I find that his temperament has changed a lot. According to what I know about him before and now, his behavior of specifically toasting in front of everyone is not very like him."
It will be done.”
"And he said such strange things."
"I will never let down my sister's expectations again..." Luona whispered.
"Dean has always regarded Sheryl as his idol and is Sheryl's most loyal book fan. But as a sister, I have never taken Dean seriously."
Estiva's tone was obviously resentful.
"Perhaps because of my relationship, Sheryl's attitude towards Dean has never been good... Many people in the family believe that I will hand over the Boomer Group to Dean in the future." Estiva said this
Then he kept silent.
In fact, she has been hesitating about this choice because Estiva never understood the real purpose of her parents in entrusting Dean to her.
The conversation with the old housekeeper Klaus about the previous incident gave her a little understanding.
"Is that why Dean said that? He wants the sister he admires to believe in him? He wants to prove it to her?" Luona seemed to be saying to herself.
"I think it's more of a warning," Estiva said.
Luona looked at Estiva with a look of disbelief in her eyes, "Sister Eddie, you mean... something about the stadium... or maybe..." She pointed her eyes behind her.
"If Sheryl is today's murderer..." Estiva said half of the sentence.
‘It seems that Sister Addie is determined to sacrifice Sheryl.’ Luona couldn’t help but admire Jock’s prediction.
He had only returned to the family for a few days, but he had gained such a thorough understanding of Estiva's character.
In fact, the old housekeeper played an indispensable role in this process.
If Klaus hadn't convinced Estiva not to be soft-hearted before, she wouldn't be so decisive now.
Estiva is very smart, but her family's interests and blood ties have always put her in a dilemma.
Now, she must make a choice.
Whether it's family or relatives.
Estiva knew that due to the wrong signals she had given out before, Dorothy and Sheryl regarded Dean as an obstacle to their journey to the top of their family.
Poor Dean, this innocent younger brother, is in danger without knowing it in the power struggle among his sisters.
Dorothy's group is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of Dean's accident.
Estiva even knew that Sherrill had been secretly advising Dorothy.
How could she be a simple role when her father personally appointed her as the successor of the group?
Sheryl always believed that she had disguised her identity well before her coming-of-age ceremony.
The funny thing is, Estiva already understood it earlier.
It's not that Sheryl's secret work wasn't good enough, it's that Dorothy was too good at it and exposed a lot of clues.
This is what the saying goes, "If you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, be afraid of teammates who are like pigs!"
Now Estiva has figured it out very clearly.
If nothing unexpected happens next, the group will definitely find more evidence in the public restroom and kitchen.
Sheryl could hardly run away!
Dorothy has always been his enemy for the sake of power, even at the expense of his family's interests.
Estiva's patience has reached its limit!
Just take this opportunity to completely eliminate Sherrill, the accomplice, from the family.
Although the current situation is not what Estiva is happy to see, this is the only way it is now.
And all this was what Jock had expected!
The most crucial part of this plan is the ‘letter’ between Klaus and Jock!
The puppet servant of Dean Castle allowed Jock to see the kindness of the man behind the scenes towards him starting from Rhodes City.
Without him, Jock would have died at least several more times.
But the most important thing that makes Jock choose to believe in the other person is because both of them are extraordinary people of the 'Shadow' path.
To be continued...
