Chapter 762

Lucius stopped eating when he heard the officers, thinking he had misheard them. He already ordered Hera and Bernard to stop investigating. Why did they continue?

If the case was overturned, the Killian family would be in chaos now.

"Lucius, it seems like life works in mysterious ways now that the verdict has been overturned. I always wondered how a gentle person like you could even be a murderer."

"Congratulations, Lucius. Remember to be a model citizen after leaving this place," someone said with a chuckle.

"Your daughter's brilliant for managing to clear your name! Not bad."

"Congratulations! Don't forget about us once you're out of here."

Several inmates came over to congratulate Lucius warmly. Those sentenced to lifetime imprisonment had no chance of ever leaving, but Lucius was an exception.

Many inmates crowded around to wish him well, but Lucius remained rooted to the spot, not looking happy at all.

The bald man with tattoos beside him slapped him on the back. "Hey! What's up, Lucius? Are you in shock? Or do you feel bad about leaving this place?"

"What's there to miss about this place? Once you're out of here, don't ever come back. Quickly pack up your things and go," another inmate added.

The slap on his back almost caused Lucius to spit his food out. He cleared his throat before coming to his senses with a forced smile. After bidding farewell to the other inmates, he went with the head of the prison guards.

Meanwhile, Giselle, who had been confined to the study hall for the past three months, was finally released from the desolate place. The first thing she did was to look for Linda, but there was no sign of anyone at her residence.

Giselle then turned to seek Karen out, but she wasn't around either. Giselle couldn't help but feel that many Killians were gone. After asking around, she finally understood that the Killian family was in trouble.

It was almost as if Giselle had been cut off from the outside world while being confined to the study hall. Thus, she had no idea what happened over the past few months.

Giselle was finally able to go online after getting her phone back, and the first thing she did was check Twitter.

The Killians' news was trending on Twitter. It took Giselle three hours to get all the scoop, and she also had a brief understanding of what had happened recently.

Hera had gone mad. Not only did she mess with the Chimes, but she also intended to ruin the Killians. Giselle wondered if boredom had driven Hera to do such a thing.

Although Killian Corporation's PR team had already started handling the crisis on Twitter, it wasn't much use. The share price was still at its lower limit, and none of the Killians had made any statement.

Giselle's mind raced upon noticing that. Aside from her, the other Killians had been taken away for investigation. It was like a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her to save the family. If she were to speak out against the rumors, Chad would definitely remember her contribution. At the same time, she could even make it clear to the public that she was still a Killian.

With that in mind, Giselle immediately posted on Twitter.

"I'm here to refute the rumors that all the Killians have been arrested. The police merely requested for my family to cooperate with an investigation. I also wish for everyone to stop spreading rumors and speculating without evidence, as you may cause distress to us."

After returning to the Killians, Giselle updated her Twitter bio by referring to herself as a Killian family member. Once she posted the tweet, she immediately received many comments from netizens.

"Who's this bitch?"

"Seems like she's that biological daughter of the Killians. Why are you still alive?"

"Why weren't you taken away for investigation?"

"Isn't it obvious? The police don't consider her as a Killian. It would be a waste of time to take her away."

"Haha, I think you're right."

"I heard that the case they're investigating is your biological father's case. Why are you posting tweets instead of helping your father?"

"How are you even still alive, Giselle? Did you think no one would recognize you after returning to the Killian family and changing your name? How vain."

Giselle gritted her teeth in anger after reading the netizens' comments. However, after three months of self-reflection, she held herself back from losing her temper.
