Love Unspoken

Landon's face was hard to read as he stared at Alexander.

After a long pause, he finally pulled himself together.

"Mr. Kennedy, you must be joking. This is your family business; why would I think about such things?"

But Alexander wasn't planning to let him off the hook and pressed further, "Then where did you get this will from?"

He looked around the room. "I bet I'm not the only one wondering. Everyone here wants to know."

This was a tough spot for Landon. If he said Wayne gave it to him, people would question his relationship with Wayne, maybe even tie him to the inheritance mess and Stanley's death.

If he said he got it elsewhere, they'd think he forged it. Either way, he was in trouble.

The room got quieter, and all eyes moved from Alexander to Landon.

Everyone was waiting for him to speak.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Landon adjusted his glasses and smiled a bit. "Kaitlyn gave it to me. She wanted me to get it verified. If you don't believe me, ask her."

Alexander chuckled.

The two men locked eyes, both with knowing smiles like they had some unspoken agreement.

They both knew the will was fake.

Wayne had a real will somewhere, but no one knew where it was.

By saying Kaitlyn gave it to him, Landon could pin the blame on Paul.

So, the real will wouldn't show up, and if Kaitlyn produced it later, it would be seen as fake.

After a moment, Alexander smiled and said, "I see. Then this will must be genuine."

He then changed his tone. "Since both wills are genuine, which one should we follow?"

Landon replied, "We should follow the notarized one. As John mentioned, the will was amended, likely by Wayne himself."

"In other words, the will Mr. Kennedy has is valid, while the one on the table is probably an old one. That's why it was amended, not revoked, and why it wasn't notarized." With that, he basically gave in.

Alexander lit a cigarette, took a couple of slow drags, and then looked at John.

"So, does anyone have any more questions?"

John looked around and exchanged glances with the cop next to him.

"Since the will issue is settled, my job here is done. As for Stanley's death, that's a criminal case and the police will handle it."

He picked up his bag. "Sorry for taking up your time, but I wanted to clear this up quickly. Thanks for your understanding."

With that, John left the room with his team.

The police also took Paul away.

Now, only the Kennedy Group members were left in the room.

Landon lit a cigarette and started smoking. The funny part was his arm was in a cast, making his smoking look kind of pitiful.

Walter leaned back in his chair and clapped. "That was quite a show."

Landon glanced at him. "You don't seem surprised."

Walter smiled. "No matter what happened today, I wouldn't have been surprised. But this result was indeed within my expectations." He had long suspected that Alexander, having stayed quiet and cooperated with the investigation, was setting a trap.

And his suspicions were confirmed.
