Chapter 1040
Mark had kept that farm afloat for most of his life and was strongly attached to the scenic spot.
Otherwise, he would have used the land to develop a more profitable industrial zone.
As such, to see his own son admit that he had burnt down that farm left Mark’s tears welling up in his eyes.
Seeing that the old man was overwhelmed, Gavin was ready to take away the phone, but Mark insisted on watching the entire video.
Everyone had no choice but to keep watching with Mark at that.
Still, it just so happened that the dashcam was not facing the right way when Frank slaughtered Clark and Gable’s goons. However, it did capture the scene where Clark threatened to kill Luna with a dagger.
“S-Stay where you are, or I’ll kill her!” Clark’s savage glare was clear as day in the video.
Luna had turned deathly pale as Clark held her and kept begging Frank, “P-Please… Save me…”
Everyone turned toward Luna right then, leaving her devastated.
Seeing herself begging repeatedly and fearfully in the video, and remembering the slander she and her mother had just told, she certainly realized that she was the most despicable person in the world.
Burying her face in her palms, she said nothing as she ran into the house.
As she did, everyone was staring daggers at her or shaking their heads in disdain.
Meanwhile, the video continued to play-Frank managed to save Luna by feigning disinterest, after which he crippled Clark and Gable but spared their lives.
While everyone thought that was it, Luna appeared on screen again and hacked Clark’s neck with a machete, killing him.
Everyone gasped at the scene and turned toward Jade.
“Uh…” Jade could no longer argue when such decisive evidence was presented.
And remembering what Frank had said earlier, she certainly felt like a clown!
All her slander was now proven to be a malicious distortion of facts!
It was not just her either… Her own daughter Luna had murdered her Uncle Clark in cold blood.
One could even argue Clark deserved it, but Luna still did not get to do it.
Add the fact that Luna ultimately turned around and accused Frank and Helen? Their crimes were beyond doubt!
That was when Fleur suddenly yelled at the bodyguards, “Go! Restrain Luna and Jade!”
After all, she had tried to help them slander Frank and Helen earlier, so she had to denounce them as quickly as she could.
On the other hand, Mark breathed a long sigh after watching the entire video.
Somehow he had cooled off and stood up with Gavin’s help as he calmly instructed the bodyguards, “Once you have those two, punish them per family rules. That’s ninety lashes and fifty slaps for Luna.”
“N-No!” Jade cried hysterically, begging. “P-Please forgive Luna! She’s just a child… I-I put her up to this! Just let her go! Even an adult man wouldn’t last ninety lashes… Luna will die!”
