Mr. Hawthorne, Your Wife Wants a Divorce Again-Chapter 995: Earth-Shattering Scandal

"But who would have thought that a person’s evil intentions could grow so rampant? Xavier not only didn’t stop, but he also used his brother’s kindness to make him take the blame for his crimes..."

The audience was in an uproar.

No one expected the truth to be like this.

Zachary Lancaster, condemned as a murderous demon, ended up in jail for taking the fall for his brother!?

So, if it weren’t for Xavier suddenly going mad and attacking the Deputy Mayor’s son, would his misdeeds have remained hidden in the dark?

With this thought, the reporters’ sense of justice boiled over; they would not allow such a thing to happen!

"Mrs. Lockwood, I have another question," a reporter stood up to ask, "Since you know Xavier was the killer, why didn’t you clarify this with the investigators from the start and let Zachary Lancaster go to prison without care? Are you shielding Xavier?"

The question was sharp.

Lucy Lock’s expression remained unchanged, but seemed even more sorrowful.

"To my shame, as their mother, I was so busy with work that I neglected them, so the brothers and I aren’t very close. It was only after the incident that I found out my son turned into such a terrifying state..."

Lucy Lock fought back tears, "Both are my sons, no matter who gets into trouble, it pains me as their mother. But I know the pain of the victims’ parents is a hundredfold, a thousandfold worse than mine, so I decided to reveal the truth despite the pain."

The reporters nodded in agreement, hating Xavier while also sympathizing with the unfortunate mother, Lucy Lock.

Then Lucy Lock stood up and bowed to the audience, "I apologize to all the victims’ parents, especially to Deputy Mayor Morgan, who trusted me to take care of his son. I will ensure Xavier gives you an explanation..."

"I wonder what kind of explanation Mrs. Lockwood intends to give me."

At this moment, a weak voice abruptly sounded in the venue.

The sound of a wheelchair moving came closer.

Lucy Lock glanced indifferently, but that glance made her blood rush to her head, and her eyes widened suddenly.

There was Xavier, pushing a young man in a wheelchair from the entrance.

The reporters present were astonished, raising their cameras to capture the scene.

"Why is Mrs. Lockwood so surprised to see me?" Finn Morgan, sitting in the wheelchair, asked with a cold smile, looking at Lucy Lock’s shocked eyes, "Are you surprised I’m not dead?"

Lucy Lock took a step back, suppressing the shock and fear in her heart, gritting her teeth to steady herself.

"How could it be? I’m happier than anyone that Young Master Morgan is safe and sound, and I’m sure your father is too..."

"Since you’re so happy," Finn interrupted coldly, "I’m curious why you conspired with those mad scientists to conduct live experiments on me? And after I finally escaped, why you still wouldn’t let me go, trying to smother me with a pillow?"

The barrage of questions came crashing down with an unimaginable volume of information, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.

Lucy Lock experimented on the Deputy Mayor’s son?

And even attempted to murder him?!

My God, what a shocking revelation!

On stage, Lucy Lock pressed her palm tightly, glancing at Xavier, who remained silent, feeling a sense of suffocation.

"Where did Young Master Morgan hear such things? From Xavier? He himself is mentally ill; how can his words be trusted?" Lucy forced a smile, "I’m not aware of any live experiments or smothering attempts, do you have evidence?"

"If it weren’t for Xavier saving me, I might not have been here to confront you. You say he’s mentally ill, but are you willing to let both Xavier and Zachary undergo a psychiatric evaluation?" Finn sneered, "You wouldn’t dare, because the truly mentally ill one is Zachary!"

The audience erupted in murmurs.

Lucy Lock had claimed Xavier killed Finn, yet Finn was not dead, and Xavier appeared calm and clear-eyed, not at all like the madman she described.

This indicated that everything she said was deceitful.

So the question arose, why would Lucy Lock frame her son?

Finn soon revealed the reason.

"Just because Xavier is your husband’s ex-wife’s son and not your biological child, you framed him for murder to pave a way for your own son, Zachary. But you probably didn’t expect that Xavier already had precautions against you, and he has evidence of everything you’ve done."

Standing beside Finn, Xavier, who had been silent, suddenly lifted his head, looking in Lucy Lock’s direction with calm, steady eyes that made people anxious.

Lucy Lock’s mind exploded with a rumble, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at Xavier.

Her mind was filled with Finn’s last words, that Xavier had evidence, and if that evidence was exposed, the Lockwood Family would be finished.

Therefore, Xavier couldn’t be allowed to live!

Suddenly, Lucy Lock moved.

In a moment nobody anticipated, she lunged to choke Xavier’s neck.

"You jinx! Pest! You want to kill your brother, kill me! I’ll kill you!"

The scene turned chaotic and noisy, unable to calm down for a while.

...

——Lucy Lock attempts to murder her stepson in public! Calling him a jinx!

——The wicked stepmother of the 21st century! To save her son, Lucy Lock framed her stepson!

——Suspected links between the Lockwood Family and some mad scientists, using living humans for experiments, what’s their purpose?!

——Murderous demon Zachary, pathological liar Lucy Lock, mother and son don’t even need a test!

In less than half an hour, the sensational drama at the press conference made huge waves online.

This time, no matter how much the Lockwood Family tried to suppress the story or retract the news, they couldn’t stop the netizens’ fervor for gossip.

When Zachary was imprisoned not long ago, people criticized him but had no ill will towards Lucy Lock, even sympathizing with her for upholding the Lockwood Family’s prosperity as a woman and role model for many women.

Moreover, as a pharmacist rarely seen in public, she had an aura of mystique and superiority.

Naturally, this elevated people’s perception of her.

However, before the press conference ended, Lucy Lock’s reputation had sunk to the sewers, and she was taken to the investigators for questioning.

Ann Vaughn, using a necklace camera, watched this dramatic "live stream."

As soon as Lucy Lock was taken away by the investigators, Xavier’s call came in.

"How was it?" His voice was very hoarse; after speaking, he coughed hard and barely recovered.

"Is your throat okay?" Ann Vaughn turned off the monitor, frowning, "Why didn’t you dodge her?"
