Chapter 172 Cementing Their Guilt With Evidence
- As Lionel reached the threshold, he came to an abrupt stop, turning back with a mix of suspicion and curiosity in his eyes. "You're unusually fixated on that girl," he remarked, his voice tinged with skepticism. This doesn't seem like his typical behavior. Andrew's gaze turned distant. "Have you ever really looked at her eyes? There's something extraordinary about them." There was a faint trace of something deeper in his voice, as though those eyes had awakened a memory buried deep—a fleeting sense of familiarity, like they mirrored a gaze he'd encountered long ago.
- Lionel's jaw dropped in exaggerated disbelief. "Wait a second—don't tell me you've developed feelings for her! Don't even think about it! She's someone your brother clearly has his sights set on!" Andrew shot a piercing, frosty glare at him, his expression dripping with disdain. Without a word, he picked up his phone, the gesture brimming with unspoken dismissal. The message was clear—Lionel had overstayed his welcome. Sensing the shift, Lionel wasted no time. With an awkward chuckle, he made a hasty retreat.
- At the hospital, Landon couldn't hide his self-satisfaction. "Told you, didn't I? My plan works like a charm. Look at this—just within an hour, we've raked in tens of thousands in donations. Once I upload those pitiful, tear-jerking videos, the money will flow in like a river." Mrs. Lewis beamed with pride, nodding approvingly. "That's my clever boy." Landon chuckled, basking in the glow of his own brilliance. Thirty minutes later, he grew restless as the donation flow began to dwindle. With a sense of urgency, he uploaded the melodramatic, tear-soaked videos he had prepared. Just as he anticipated, the cash started flooding in, an unstoppable torrent of digital generosity.
