Jane is so incredulous that she forgets to struggle and resist.
Has Edward died?
She murmurs in a daze, "No, it can't be so fast. How could it be...?"
Although she has been secretly drugging Edward, the medicine's effect is gradual and would not kill a person at once.
She originally intended to increase the drug effect after Duke successfully marries Annie. When Edward becomes dizzy and could not read clearly, she could reasonably suggest Edward hand over the family business to Duke.
But she never thought Edward had died so suddenly.
"Mom!"
Duke hears Jane's voice and runs to the study in a hurry.
When he walks in, he sees a team of policemen standing in the study beside Aaron and Katrina.
And his mother, who is being handcuffed, is under a tight grip by the police.
Seeing this scene, Duke is shocked and hurries in.
"What are you doing? You let go of my mother!"
Duke tries to save Jane. Aaron looks at him coldly and says, "He is an accomplice. Take him with you!"
The policemen don't hesitate and have Duke under control.
Duke struggles and stares at Aaron, "You guys let me go! Aaron, what do you mean? Now that you've ruined my wedding, what are you going to do?"
Aaron looks at him with black eyes and says casually, "Nothing, just let you pay for my father's life."
Duke trembles as if a thunderclap has struck him. He blurts out, "What are you talking about? Father…"
Hear Duke's shouts, Aaron finally could not help it. His eyes are slightly red, and he rushes over and punches him in the face.
"Who gives you the right to call his father? Are you qualified?"
Seeing the horror look on Aaron's face, Katrina quickly grabs him tightly, clutching his hands with her frail, boneless hands in an attempt to calm him down.
Although she knows that he must be very sad and hate the Duke and his mother.
After all, beating Duke can't solve the problem.
She does not want to see his violent appearance with red eyes.
With Katrina's soft comfort, Aaron finally calms down gradually.
Katrina is pregnant now, but today she flew all the way from Abbe city and dealt with these things with him for so long, Aaron does not want to let her worry.
Aaron finally closes his eyes and says, "Take them all! I don't want to see them again!"
After hearing his words, the police immediately take Duke and his mother out by force.
On Edward's desk, there is a photo of him before his death.
When Aaron accidentally sees Edward's picture, there is grief flashing in his eyes.
Even now, he refuses to believe that Edward has left him.
Even when he closes his eyes, he can vaguely imagine Edward playing chess and reading a newspaper.
But he knows that from now on, he would never see him again.
She hugs his waist, leans on his arms, and whispers, "They will all be punished and get revenge. Dad can't leave with no reason."
With Katrina's comfort, Aaron finally grasps her hand and says lightly, "Come on, I'll take you to rest."
He could not bear to see her worry about him again after a laborious day.
As soon as Aaron comes out of the study, he sees many servants standing in the doorway.
Just now, they saw a group of policemen break-in, and Duke and Jane were taken away by them.
They heard at today's wedding that Duke is not Edward's biological son, they did not dare to discuss secretly and could only hold a suspicious attitude.
But now the scene in front of them makes them have to believe that it is true.
Now, with so much change in the Wilson family, each of them is nervous about what to do next.
Seeing Aaron come out of the study, the servants call him respectfully, "Mr. Aaron."
Aaron glances at them and orders, "Don't let me see anything about them when I wake up tomorrow morning!"
Hearing that, the servants quickly nod, "Yes!"
Instead of saying anything more, Aaron takes Katrina back to his room.
"Aaron, I'll run the bath for you. You take a good bath first."
After returning to their room, Katrina thoughtfully wants to go to the bathroom.
Aaron couldn't help but catch her arm, pull her back, hug her tightly, and put his chin on her shoulder.
"Honey, I am a man. I am not as fragile as you think. I only want to embrace you, let me embrace for a while."
He knows that she is only trying to take care of his mood and make him feel better.
But he is a man. How could he let her work so hard for him when she is pregnant?
He couldn't bear it.
Hearing Aaron's words, Katrina becomes silent and let him hug her.
After a long silence, Aaron finally releases Katrina and settles her on the couch.
"Wait here for me. I'll run the bath for you."
Even at this point, he still has to work hard to take care of her, who is pregnant.
In the days after Aaron's father died, Katrina has accompanied Aaron every day.
The court has finally reached a decision.
Jane is sentenced to life imprisonment for voluntary manslaughter and will spend the rest of her life in a cold prison.
Duke, also accused of being an accomplice, is sentenced to 15 years in prison.
By this time, Duke and Jane not only cannot get the right to inherit Wilson's family but also make themselves into prison.
But they get what they deserve.
When the Duke and Jane's sentence comes out, Aaron returns to the hospital morgue and takes Edward out for burial.
Not many people are invited to the funeral, only some closest friends of Edward.
Aaron, dressed in black, stands in front of Edward's portrait with an expression of unspeakable loneliness.
"Dad, you rest assured. The murderers who killed you, I have let them pay the price. In the future, I will take over the Wilson family and manage it well for you, and I will not live up to your expectations!"
