"Owen?"
To most people, this name was like a needle to calm them down. They could not help but feel a sense of intimacy and trust in him!
"Are you... really Mr. Hopper?"
Hearing someone asking, Owen handed his certificate directly to the person who asked this question. He said gently, "If you don't believe me, you can check my ID by yourself."
"There's no need." Another family member stood up and said, "I know you. You look the same as the one in the report. You must be that Sir Hopper!"
After Sawyer's death, Owen had been interviewed by many media companies. His photos had already been sent to countless people's computers and mobile phones along the Internet.
However, some of the victims' family members were not in the mood to surf the Internet. They had only heard of Owen's name through the discussion of the other family members. That was why they were suspicious of his identity.
After the confirmation of his identity, all the family members spontaneously gathered around Owen and complained tearfully to him, "Sir Hopper, we didn't mean to make trouble here. It's because all of our relatives died at Sawyer's hands! If we didn't do that, we wouldn't be at ease!”
"We don't want to hurt the others here. As long as the Home of Quartley hand over Sawyer's body, we can guarantee that we won't fight with them anymore!”
"Sir Hopper, you are on the side of justice. So, could you please uphold justice for us?"
Everyone looked at Owen with sadness and hope. At this moment, he was their savior. Every decision he made was related to their victory or defeat today.
Owen's gaze slowly swept across everyone in front of him. A moment later, he said, "Everyone, I can understand your feelings very well. Because my younger brother and sister-in-law also suffered because of Sawyer.
But I think that once a person dies, everything will vanish. The soul that belongs to Sawyer has gone to hell and will never be born again. Now, in the mourning hall, it is just an empty shell. Is it really meaningful for you to curse and kill an empty shell?"
"But Sir Hopper, if we don't do that, what can we do?" A family member cried sadly.
"Yes, we don't want to do such immoral things, but who can make up for the pain in our hearts?"
"Sir Hopper, we respect you and are willing to listen to you. But in this matter, we... we..."
Before he finished his words, there was a sudden quarrel in the mourning hall. The family members looked at each other in dismay, thinking that they had gathered around Owen to negotiate, and no one had gone to the Home of Quartley to make trouble.
At this moment, Owen frowned and said to the family members in front of him, "Please step aside."
The family members got out of the way and saw Safa's angry face. She shouted at Ruth, "Why can't I touch Sawyer?"
Ruth said coldly, "He is my son. You are just a servant who has been fired from the Home of Quartley. You don't deserve to touch him."
"I don't deserve it?" Safa suddenly raised her head and laughed, and her expression was as crazy as mad. "Let me tell you, no one is more qualified than me to touch Sawyer!"
Hearing this, Ruth just thought that she was talking nonsense and wanted the servants to drive her out of the mourning hall. Unexpectedly, Safa threw herself into the coffin and suddenly hugged Sawyer's body.
"What are you doing!" Ruth screamed out of control.
In her eyes, Safa's behavior was simply a stain on Sawyer's body! It made her sick from the inside out!
This time, before the servants could come forward, Ruth pulled Safa by herself. However, her strength had been exhausted in the previous confrontation. Not only did she fail to pull Safa away, but she was also forced to take two steps back by Safa.
"You... you!" Ruth was so angry that she trembled. She immediately pointed to Safa and said to the servant beside her, "Take this woman away! She is not qualified to touch my son!"
Ruth and Ryan were stunned.
Raising a son for her rival in love?
Not only them, but also Owen was stunned. The next second, as a policeman, his intuition made him suddenly have a bad feeling and he also made a temporary decision.
He said to the policemen who came with him, "Take the families of the victims and the servants of the Home of Quartley out of the mourning hall first. Without my order, they are not allowed to come in, and they are not allowed to fight again."
If it were anyone else, their families would have already beaten up the police. But this person was Owen, the person who ended Sawyer's life!
No matter how reluctant they were, they still cooperated and retreated to the outside of the mourning hall. Of course, this was only temporary.
As for the servants of the Home of Quartley, they were more cooperative than the family members. They were not here to fight. Besides, if they stayed with the police, they would be protected. Why not?
In this way, there were only Ryan, his wife, Safa, and Owen left in the mourning hall.
Ryan finally came to his senses. "Safa, what exactly do you mean?"
"Don't you understand? Then you must hold up, Master."
At this time, Safa had completely changed!
She was no longer submissive, nor did she treat Ryan as someone she respected. The unbearable sadness she felt made her feel dejected. "Sawyer is our son. It has nothing to do with the woman standing next to you!!!"
