Natalie had rarely hated anyone this much in her life; Logan was one of the few exceptions. When the police arrived, they were completely stunned by what they saw.
It was an exceptionally serious crime.
Logan was taken away, and the area was sealed off with police tape.
As the owners of the Stone residence, Natalie and the others naturally had to cooperate with the investigation.
Waylon said directly, “I’ll give my statement. You wait here for Baron. Yvonne’s situation hasn’t been fully handled yet, right? Call Flynn and have him come deal with the rest.”
Natalie didn’t object; she couldn’t even tell all the branches of the Stone family apart herself.
Besides, Yvonne had mentioned that Xenon had left something here. She needed to wait until her wounds were treated before taking it out.
Flynn arrived quickly.
When he found out what had happened, his face turned grim.
Ruby came along as well.
The first thing she did was check whether Natalie was hurt. Once she confirmed Natalie was fine, she slowly pieced together the truth from Natalie’s fragmented account.
Ruby’s face turned pale.
“Mom, are you all right? If not, let me have someone take you home to rest. Flynn and I can handle things here.”
Natalie was afraid Ruby might have another relapse.
But Ruby shook her head.
“No need. I just can’t believe someone could be this evil–and to think he’s supposedly part of the Stone family. When Alden wakes up, you must ask him–was Logan really a Stone? People in the Stone family are raised to love their country and their people. How could someone like Logan exist among us? Even if he’s from a branch family, there are traits that run in the Stones‘ blood; I refuse to believe he’s one of us!”

Ruby spoke without much thought, but Natalie took it to heart.
“Mom, I’ll remember that. I’ll make sure to ask.”
After settling Ruby down, the families of Jacob and the others arrived.
As the current head of the Stone family, Flynn had to go out and handle the matter.

Following Waylon’s instructions, he explained the situation to the parents of Jacob and the other heirs. He made it clear that if Logan was convicted, their sons would be considered accomplices—and that the Stones would make sure justice was served for the victims who had died so tragically.
The entire elite circle of Ocean City erupted with the news.
Flynn couldn’t have cared less.
Jacob and his group were taken home by their families, but what awaited them there was something Flynn didn’t even want to think about.
Meanwhile, Yvonne’s wounds had been treated.
It was her first time meeting Ruby face–to–face.
She greeted them politely. “Hello, Aunt Ruby. Hello, Flynn.”
“Good girl,” Ruby said softly, stroking Yvonne’s head, her heart aching at the sight of the injuries on her body.
Seeing the tears glimmering in Ruby’s eyes, Yvonne quickly said, “Aunt Ruby, Flynn, Natalie- I’m fine. They’re just minor wounds; I’ll be all right after some rest, really. I want to take you to see something–something my parents left behind.”
Natalie’s expression tensed with worry. Find the newest release on.net
“Are you sure you’re up for it? If not, just tell us where it is; we can go get it for you.”
But Yvonne shook her head.
“It’s okay; I can do it.”
Supported by Natalie, she slowly stood up.
As they headed toward the third floor, Yvonne explained, “Sis, I got a call from an unknown number. The caller said there was something my parents left behind and told me to come get

She knew she’d been reckless–but it was about her parents, and with Natalie still away, she’d thought it might be important. She just wanted to see for herself. She hadn’t expected to walk straight into a trap.
The thought made her face cloud over.
Natalie saw her expression and knew she was blaming herself.
Quietly, she said, “All right, it happens to the best of us; no one can predict everything. Take this as a lesson–next time, no matter what happens, don’t take risks alone, okay?”
Yvonne nodded.
“I understand, Natalie. But I honestly didn’t know this was the Stone residence. The number that called me was a virtual one–I checked. When I got here, there were guards everywhere, and I couldn’t get in at all. I thought it was just a prank. I didn’t dare enter such a huge villa complex alone, but then… someone suddenly opened the gate and walked straight toward me.”
As she recalled that moment, Yvonne’s eyes turned mysterious. She looked at Natalie and asked, “Natalie, do you know who that person was?”
“Who? Someone I know?” Natalie asked, surprised.
Yvonne nodded quickly.
