Chapter 305
“What use is there checking up on him? It solves nothing.”
Margot returned to the sofa and sat down. “Right now, other than Josiah, no one can help us.”
“But Josiah has said, only if you two die will he let the Leightons go.”
“How is this letting us go? He clearly wants us dead.” “Exactly, so we don’t have to waste our time pleading with
him,” Ysabelle said while rubbing her hungry tummy. She said, “Mom, I’m hungry, can you go make me something
to eat?” Ever since the fall of the Leightons, all their servants have left. Their lavish lifestyles instantly vanished too.
Margot glanced at Ysabelle and reprimanded, “Now, do you know the importance of learning how to cook? Come
here, I’ll teach you.”

“What are you going to do if you don’t learn how to cook? The chefs are all gone. Are you going to starve to
death?” Margot dragged Ysabelle into the kitchen, forcing her to learn how to cook
Once they finished cooking, the doorbell rang. Ysabelle ran to open the gate. When she saw police in uniforms
outside, she instantly panicked. She instinctively ran and hid.
Outside the gate, the police said sternly, “Miss, we have been ordered to arrest Marvin Leighton. Please open up, if
not we will consider it as an obstruction of justice.”
Ysabelle was frightened half to death. She immediately ran in and asked her mother for help.
When she heard that the police were here to arrest her husband, Margot naturally panicked
too.
She got Ysabelle to run upstairs to hide while she went and said pleasingly to the police through the gate. “Hello,
my husband is not at home. If there is anything, please return another day.”
The police flashed their IDs at her and said sternly, “If you’re not going to open the gates, we will break in with
force.”
Margot decided to toughen up. “Are you all thugs? Can you just break into other people’s homes just like that? I
already said that my husband is not home.”
“Ma’am…” The police were just about to say something when Ysabelle’s screams came from inside. “Mom,
something has happened to Dad! He’s bleeding! Come quick!”
“What?” Margot was stunned. Then, she ran inside.
The police outside looked at each other before breaking in.
In the study upstairs, Marvin was leaning back on the leather chair with his eyes closed. The limp wrist on his chair
was covered in blood. A puddle of blood was on the floor. Margot almost passed out from fright. “Marvin, Marvin,

returning home up to that moment, an hour or so has passed. The blood in Marvin has bled dry. “Mom, what should
we do? Will Dad die?” Ysabelle cried in fright. The police saw the situation and immediately dialed the emergency
number. While waiting for the ambulance to come, Margot reprimanded her husband for being silly while blaming
herself for not coming to check up on him earlier.
In the end, she got up and barked at the police, “It’s all your fault! If you did not force him to die, why would he kill
himself?”
The police explained patiently, “Ma’am, the Leightons are not only suspected of tax evasion but they are also
involved in a case of jerry-building, causing the death of construction workers. They were committed by Mister
Marvin.” “Even so, you should be so cruel to force him to his death, right?” “Mister Marvin committed suicide
because he was afraid to admit his crimes.” “You…” Margot was at a loss for words.
