Chapter 203 How Is This Possible? You Must Be Mistaken
Just half an hour before Cormac called Alaric, Griffon returned to the hospital room with a particularly bad expression. "Dad, what's wrong?" Orion was scared when she saw Griffon like this and asked, "Did something happen?" Griffon just kept a gloomy face and didn't speak. When he looked at Cormac, his expression became even darker.
Griffon snapped, "Cormac, I told you not to associate with Alaric, but you wouldn't listen! Do you want to see the Nash family ruined and destroyed before you're satisfied?"
Griffon was so angry that he wanted to strangle Cormac. If it weren't for Cormac calling Alaric and Galatea over, Alaric wouldn't have heard Ravenna's mutterings, wouldn't have become suspicious, and wouldn't have started investigating Galatea's long-past car accident.
Cormac was completely baffled by Griffon's accusations and felt even more infuriated. "What are you talking about? How could I ruin the Nash family?"
Cormac seemed to realize something, questioning, "Why are you so afraid of Alaric? Did you do something wrong?"
Griffon shouted, "You bastard, the Nash family will be ruined by you sooner or later!"
"Dad, what exactly happened?" Orion was extremely scared by Griffon's words. Had their previous wrongdoings been exposed?
"What does Alaric know?" Orion was now particularly nervous, her voice trembling.
Seeing Orion like this, Cormac became even more certain that they were hiding something from him. He asked again, "What did you do? What are you afraid of Alaric finding out?"
Griffon shouted, "Get out! I don't have a son like you!"
Griffon threw a huge tantrum, and Cormac, not wanting to get angrier, left the hospital. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Griffon and Orion must be hiding something from him.
What exactly did Griffon and Orion do? Cormac kept calling Alaric, but Alaric didn't answer, making him even more anxious.
In his confusion, his phone rang. It was Alaric returning his call, and he quickly answered.
"Where are you now?" Cormac asked.
Alaric didn't say anything else; he just told him his current location.
After that, Cormac immediately hung up and drove over to find him.
They met at the same winery as before, and although Alaric never drank, this time, he had already had a glass when Cormac arrived.
"Aren't you in treatment? Why are you drinking?" Seeing Alaric drink made Cormac even more anxious. He knew something must have happened.
Alaric didn't want to drink either, but he had a strong urge to numb himself with alcohol because the truth behind it all made him feel sick. Alaric had never suspected that Galatea's car accident was intentional. If it were deliberate, he would never have suspected Griffon!
"Why did you keep calling me? Is something wrong?" If Cormac didn't know, Alaric didn't plan to tell him, although eventually, he would have to.
Cormac said directly, "It's because of Griffon. He inexplicably lost his temper at me in the hospital room today. There must be a reason, and it has to do with you. Alaric, tell me honestly, is there something between you two that I don't know about?"
Alaric knew the difference in character between Griffon and Cormac. If Cormac knew the despicable things Griffon had done, he would be more upset. Cormac urged, "Tell me what happened?"
Alaric downed another glass of wine, then put the glass down, looked at Cormac, and asked, "Do you know what Ravenna has been muttering about?" "What?" Cormac was stunned. He hadn't figured it out after all this time, but Alaric already knew.
Alaric continued, "Ravenna has been saying, 'I'm sorry, Galatea.""
Cormac was shocked. "What? My mom has been saying, 'I'm sorry, Galatea'? How could that be? Why would my mom keep apologizing to Galatea? My mom couldn't have done anything to wrong Galatea!" Alaric looked at him. "Ravenna indeed wouldn't, but Griffon would."
Cormac was speechless for a moment, waiting for Alaric to continue.
Alaric continued, "Galatea's previous car accident wasn't an accident at all. Griffon orchestrated it. He wanted to create an accident to kill Galatea, but she survived with just injuries."
"No, you're saying Griffon orchestrated Galatea's car accidentGriffon orchestrated Galatea's car accident? He wanted her dead? How is that possible? Griffon had no grudge against Galatea. Why would he want to kill her? It doesn't make sense. Although Griffon has done many shady things and isn't a good person, this is premeditated murder. It's impossible. You must be mistaken!"
Alaric smiled bitterly. "I know it's hard to believe. I wish I were wrong, but I've already met with the perpetrator, Jason Gray. I didn't even have to persuade him to tell the truth; he confessed everything." "This can't be true, absolutely not!" Cormac couldn't believe it. "Why would Griffon have to kill Galatea?"
"Because six years ago..."
Since Alaric was already pursuing the matter and Cormac had come to ask, Alaric told him everything.
Alaric told Cormac everything. After hearing it, Cormac was stunned like a statue.
Could this be true? This wasn't just a moral issue anymore. Tampering with DNA results and orchestrating a car accident to commit murder were crimes.
Cormac denied, "No way, Alaric, you must be mistaken. Griffon may not be a good person, but he wouldn't do something so heinous. He cares so much about the Nash family's development. Why would he risk breaking the law? He wouldn't be that stupid."
Alaric sneered, "Griffon isn't stupid; he's too smart. Six years ago, after tampering with the DNA results, no one suspected him. He enjoyed the thrill of doing something bad without getting caught. Griffon didn't expect Galatea to survive, nor did he expect Galatea and me to end up together. He was afraid the incident from six years ago would be exposed, so he wanted to kill Galatea."
Alaric added, "Although he didn't succeed, and Galatea survived, no one suspected him at the time. If it weren't for Ravenna's words, I wouldn't have suspected either. By the way, do you know why Ravenna's condition suddenly worsened? You know she was heartbroken. What was she heartbroken about? Now, do you understand?"
Cormac was completely stunned. What had he just heard?
What had he just heard?
