Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 115 - GDD Chapter 115

“Of course you won’t do it yourself.” Colonel Mel’s smile was treacherous, “How can a noble gentleman like you dirty your hands with such things?”

While saying such words,he took out a piece of paper from the prison uniform and he handed it to Sheriff Chandler beside him.

“Sheriff, please take a look at this letter. It was given to me by my lawyer last night. It was specially left by Ederson before his death. My new lawyer accepted these things. Although I have such speculations, I have never believed it, but after reading this letter, I have no choice but to believe it.” There was a trace of coldness on Mel’s face and he seemed to be a world of difference from the gentle gentleman before.

Evan bit his lower lip lightly, still showing a look of indifference on his face but he couldn’t help feeling a little worried in his heart. He always knew that Mel was a smart person, since he dared to tear himself apart this time and involve him, he must be fully prepared, and Evan’s mind is completely affected by the thin letter at this time.

Sheriff Chandler took the letter from Mel, and he glanced at Evan with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Evan clenched his fists but tried his best to show a calm look on his face. When he was most nervous, there was a warm palm covering the back of his hand, Evan’s heart tightened and he turned towards the person. When he turned, he looked into the gentle eyes of Duke Wilson. The trust and support in those eyes made Evan feel a little guilty. He lowered his eyes in a panic, not daring to look at him again.

At this moment, Sheriff Chandler had already opened the letter. It was just a very simple piece of paper, but at this moment it affected the minds of everyone in the room.

Sheriff Chandler frowned at the first glance, and by the end, his brows were completely drawn in.

He glanced at Evan meaningfully. The meaning contained in that glance made Evan’s heart palpitate.

Sheriff Chandler slowly stood up from his chair. He walked up to Evan, looked straight into Evan’s eyes and said in a deep voice, “Reverend Bruce, can you explain this?” He spread the letter in front of Evan’s eyes.

Evan couldn’t wait to read the contents of the letter, but when he saw the first line, his expression changed.

Ederson admitted to killing Eliza himself.

Evan hurriedly looked down again and his expression became more and more ugly.

When he was done reading the last word, Evan finally raised his head. He looked at Mel behind Sheriff Chandler with burning eyes with a sneer in his heart.

Although Ederson admitted that he killed Elisa, he claimed that he was coerced by Evan to do it. His child needs a lot of money for treatment and he can’t afford so much money, and Evan found out about this. After learning about this matter, he proposed to provide him with the money, and his condition was that he kill Eliza and blame it on Mel.

It was so absurd but so convincing that Evan stood there, feeling dizzy.

“Sheriff Chandler.” Evan gritted his teeth, looked straight at Sheriff Chandler’s slightly weird gaze and said, “You don’t believe such nonsense?”

“Personally, of course I don’t believe it, I have 100% trust in your personality.” Sheriff Chandler replied crisply, “But…” He hesitated slightly, “But anyway, I am a Sheriff. Please explain the problems described in this letter.”

Evan actually understood Sheriff Chandler’s entanglement very well. No matter who it was, it was not easy to deal with this kind of matter.

“I understand your difficulty, but regarding this letter, I can say with absolute certainty that every word on it is a lie. I didn’t use Mr Ederson’s son to coerce him. God is my witness, I didn’t even know he had a son!” Evan seemed a little excited at this time. Being accused of murder, I believe that no one will be in a normal state.

It was also the first time Sheriff Chandler saw Evan so excited, he hurriedly stepped forward and waved his hands to appease him, “Please don’t be so excited, this is just a letter, maybe someone forged it to frame you, it might not necessarily be real.”

When it came to this, Mel sneered, “Sheriff Chandler, your attitude towards suspects is really different. Since you suspect that there is something wrong with this letter, you can go to the hospital where Ederson’s son lives to see if there is such a thing. I don’t want anyone to be wronged in this matter.”

Hearing Mel’s determined voice, Evan gritted his teeth. He was afraid that Mel had already made all the preparations, and even if Sheriff Chandler went to investigate, it would be impossible to find anything.

“Oh, you’re right.” Sheriff Chandler’s eyes lit up immediately, “Perhaps this is the only way to clear your suspicion.” He looked at Evan a little excitedly.

Evan smiled reluctantly, not having any hope for the results of this investigation.

“Wait a minute.” Duke Wilson suddenly spoke at this time and he walked up behind Evan, supporting Evan like the most powerful backing.

He gave Mel a cold look, without the slightest emotion in his eyes. He had not discovered before that Mel is actually such a bold person.

“Since someone is using this to frame Evan, I’m afraid they’ve been prepared for a long time. Even if you go to investigate, what can you find?” He pursed his lips angrily. He let someone steal the sky and change the sun under his nose. How could he not be angry?

Colonel Mel just smiled softly, “Why should the Duke think so much? This matter must be explained anyway, as for the result of the investigation, we have to investigate to find out. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to convince the public.”

Duke Wilson’s eyes became colder and colder. He clenched his hands tightly, his joints were almost white as he stared at Mel. He already had countless evil thoughts in his heart about this person, but at this time, the situation does not allow him to practice the ideas in his heart.

Duke Wilson suppressed the anger in his heart. He turned his head, glanced at Sheriff Chandler with a blank face and said word by word, “Then I’ll trouble Mr. Sheriff to investigate carefully, and Ederson’s letter, please check the handwriting carefully, Mr. Sheriff, so as not to be taken advantage of.”

Although Duke Wilson could tell at a glance that the letter was indeed written by Ederson and although there was Ederson’s seal and signature on the letter, Duke Wilson still couldn’t believe that Ederson would do such a stupid thing.

Duke Wilson took Evan’s hand and left without mercy. He ignored Sheriff Chandler who was trying to stop him and walked out directly. Evan was humiliated and made a joke in front of so many people. If he is still brought into the police station by Sheriff Chandler, then he will never forgive himself in his life.

Evan was pulled by Duke Wilson and walked out, almost staggering. When he reached the door, Duke Wilson slowed down and Evan was relieved.

“Don’t be angry.” Although Evan was also very upset, he still tried to calm Duke Wilson, who was obviously in a violent mood, down.

“How can I not be angry!” Duke Wilson turned around and looked at Evan, with a hint of red in his eyes, “He…he dared to treat you like this, I will never let him go!”

Such a bloodthirsty Duke, it was the first time for Evan to see him like this. He was stunned, then frowned and finally said in a low voice, “You…you don’t want to be like this. Colonel Mel is just telling what he knows, that’s all. I haven’t done this before, you…don’t worry too much.”

Seeing Evan’s simple thoughts, Duke Wilson didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. He softened his expression and said softly, “I know you haven’t done it, I believe you. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Evan was a little puzzled by the sudden change in Duke Wilson’s expression, but he still smiled softly, “I know. Yes, I believe in you.”

Duke Wilson took Evan away, but this time Duke Wilson said nothing about letting Evan go back to the church and he took him directly to Cornwall Manor. He was afraid that Chandler would return to the church and take Evan to the police station. Such a situation is definitely the last result he wants to see.

Evan did not refute and honestly followed Duke Wilson back to Cornwall Manor. Although he wants to pretend to be a white lotus, he has no intention of going to jail.

Edward was the happiest about this decision. When he saw Evan coming, he was so happy that he dragged Evan to go to his room. But this time, Duke Wilson didn’t tolerate Edward’s willfulness and scolded him directly, and then directly pulled Evan towards the study upstairs.

Edward looked at the backs of Evan and Duke Wilson with an aggrieved look, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, but there was no reluctance in his eyes. He was very clear that only when Evan was completely with Duke Wilson could they be together with Evan forever. As long as he thinks of this, Edward feels an uncontrollable excitement.

He imagined that scene for a while with a smile appearing on the corner of his lips. He waved at the servant behind him and went straight back to his room.

*************

For the next two days after the incident, Evan’s life was very peaceful. Although he still had hidden worries about that letter, perhaps because of Duke Wilson, Evan did not feel any sense of oppression or anxiety.

On the contrary, Duke Wilson has been very busy these days. Evan watched countless people come and go in and out of his study. Duke Wilson was almost too busy to speak a word with him, but Evan gained the greatest peace of mind from his expression that got calmer day by day.

It’s just that such days finally ended completely on the third day.

That day Evan and Duke Wilson were having afternoon tea in the garden. Little Edward was lying on Evan’s lap, listening to Evan tell him stories from the Bible with burning eyes. The stories were repeated countless times, but Little Edward was still very interested, as if it was the most attractive thing in the world.

And such a warm scene was suddenly broken by someone.

Butler Chris walked in with a slightly nervous expression. He walked up to Duke Wilson, bent down and said in a low voice, “My Lord, Sheriff Chandler is here.”

Duke Wilson’s eyes flickered and he nodded. He turned his head and looked at Evan. At this time, Duke Wilson seemed to be completely different from the distraught Duke Wilson of three days ago. He nodded slightly to Evan and said, “Let’s go in.”

Of course, Evan heard the words of Butler Chris just now, so his mood at this time was not so good. He nodded stiffly, picked up Edward who was lying on his lap and followed Duke Wilson to the castle.
