“I just asked our finance department. After Marlin’s accident, the law ruled that it had nothing to do with the Torres Corporation, but I still asked someone to give your family three million dollars as compensation.”

Three million. Although it couldn’t bring Marlin back to life, it was Franklin’s best wishes. He hoped that Marlin’s family could live a stable life.

But from the looks of it, that wasn’t the case.

Their living environment didn’t look like they had received the three million at all.

“What three million?! “Back then, we only received 30,000. We used it to settle my husband’s funeral, and then there wasn’t any money left! We didn’t have the money to find a lawyer… Later, I went back to the Torres Corporation a few times. They all said that the CEO was busy and disappeared! All of you are a bunch of people who eat human flesh and drink human blood!”

As if recalling the tragic memories from three years ago, Zelda covered her face and cried. Soon, she raised her head again.

“All these years, without Marlin, I have always been the only one supporting this family. I can only go home once a year. Even for Xander’s birthday, I can’t go back to spend it with her…”

[ System Divine Nine: I understand. It’s because of the money. Zelda only received 30,000 dollars for the three million compensation. All these years, it must’ve been tough on her. Although the Torres Corporation doesn’t have to take full responsibility for Marlin’s death, Zelda must have held a grudge against the Torres Corporation. ]

“Back then, I was very sure that I had someone allocate the three million dollars. The Torres Corporation’s account clearly stated that the money had been withdrawn.”

If Zelda had only received thirty thousand Yuan, then the rest of the money had been embezzled.

Franklin immediately called someone to find out who had handled the money back then. He also showed the Torres Corporation’s transfer certificate to her.

“Regarding Marlin’s death, we are very sorry, but I have already done what I could. Now, it seems that someone must have taken a cut of the money, so in the end, you only had thirty thousand.”

People were panicking because of the silver pieces. However, the silver pieces could solve all kinds of panics.

At this point, Franklin also sighed lightly.

“So, Zelda, is this the reason why you let your husband’s ghost harm your brother?” Lauren finally began. Unlike her usual coquettish tone, she was now very serious.

After listening to Franklin’s explanation and looking at the transfer certificate, Zelda’s aura weakened a little.

“I never thought of letting my husband harm the Torres family like that. It’s… It’s…” Zelda suddenly stuttered.

“Is it because someone else instigated you?” Lauren was talking about the “person” who gave Zelda the Horcrux.

Lauren’s eyes were fixed on Zelda, but Zelda kept evading her gaze.

“What did you say? I don’t know. I don’t understand.”

Zelda’s hands on the table were clenched tightly. It could be seen that she was very nervous.

“Zelda, don’t you want to know where your husband’s ghost is now? Although he has been wandering in the human world for so many years, you should have never seen him, right? Don’t you want to see him again?”

Upon hearing Lauren’s words, Zelda was clearly shaken.

“You… can you let me see my husband again?” She leaned forward to face Lauren, her tone trembling slightly.

“Yes! I know. Your husband only did these things because he was controlled. I have already protected your husband’s soul from this control.”

Yesterday morning, Zelda followed the instructions and released the invisible “Marlin” on time. However, less than a minute later, she received instructions to run away the next day.

She actually didn’t know what happened last night.

“If I tell you the truth, can you really let me see my husband?” Zelda was only a woman. For so many years, she had earned money by herself and raised two elderly people and a child. Many nights.., she was missing her husband.

If it weren’t for that, she wouldn’t have gone astray and ended up in this situation.

“Not only that, if you confess to us, the Torres Corporation will also give you the compensation that they did not give you back then,” Franklin said.

After obtaining Lauren and Franklin’s promise, Zelda finally spoke.

It turned out that after Marlin’s death and they only received the compensation of 30,000 dollars, Zelda had already planned to commit suicide and end this once and for all.

However, a strange man saved her and told her that all of this was the fault of the Torres Corporation. Why should the Lambert family bear the responsibility for it? This stranger also told Zelda that he had a way to bring Marlin back to life, but he could only do so in exchange for another life.
