Chapter 208: I'm a good Texan too
Texas.
Outside Sawyer Manor.
The old lawyer, Franworth, said, 'This is Texas,' and Heather was stunned.
What happened to Texas?
Aren't you a member of the rice family?
Is it possible not to make the law?
Then the old lawyer Franworth gave the answer.
I really don't talk about it.
"Heather, this is Texas. ”
The old lawyer Franworth sighed: "'The people are simple', those thugs back then, not only are they fine now, but Bert, who is the leader, is already the mayor of the town, and his son, as well as many of the people who participated in the massacre, are in the police station.
The local newspapers reported on the events of the year, but everyone was on their side, thinking that they were doing the right thing, that they were heroes, and that Rayla couldn't help them, and she didn't want you to fight them, so boy, forget about the past. ”
"I think when they say it, my family must have shot it first, right?"
Heather sneered.
"Of course. ”
The old lawyer, Franworth, shook his head and said, "If everyone says so, then it's the truth, but in private, those people used to brag about how they slaughtered the Sawyer family."
And the policeman who wanted to stop everything but couldn't, and now the sheriff of the town once apologized to your grandmother Rayla in private, so the incident back then was not covered up.
It's just that you know that if you want to go through the legal process, it won't work at all, and no one will help the Sawyer family, after all, many people in the town were killed by your cousin......"
"I know. ”
Heather said expressionlessly: "There is no right or wrong in this matter. ”
When the old lawyer Franworth saw this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.
How can there be no right or wrong in this matter?
Heather's cousin was naturally wrong to kill many people in the town.
Several of Heather's elders did not stop it, and even participated in it, which was naturally wrong.
The people in the town, indiscriminately, regardless of the Sawyer family's willingness to hand over the murderer and go through the judicial process, directly slaughtered the Sawyer family, among which the innocent were implicated, such as Heather's mother and some family members who did not do it were killed, and the people in the town also laughed and took pictures with the broken leg afterwards, which is even more wrong.
Both sides are at fault, and the mistakes are obvious, so how can it be said that there is no right or wrong?
Obviously, Heather still has one sentence to say, that is, there is no right or wrong in this matter, only a sea of blood and hatred!
The old lawyer, Franworth, was dealing with people every day, so how could he not hear it.
"Heather ......"
The old lawyer Franworth suppressed the throbbing in his heart and persuaded: "Let it pass, your grandmother Rayla has let it go, you should also let it go, otherwise your situation will be very dangerous, this is Texas ......"
This is the second time he has said this, and you can imagine how deeply impressed he was by the simplicity of Texas' folk customs.
He had no doubt that once Rayla let him go through the legal process, he and Rayla might have been killed before they went to court.
In such a small town, from the mayor to the police, to the townspeople, almost all of them are on the same front, and a few people die, it is simply too simple.
There are many remote places in the United States, and there are many things that are more terrifying than this, and in the end they all become horror stories and legends, but no one investigates the truth and seeks justice at all.
Not to mention that it's still Texas.
Even if it is exposed and attracts the attention of the Federation, it is estimated that the red necks in Texas will be able to be hard back.
Big deal, if I don't play with you, can't I be independent?
Every family in Texas likes to hang the flag of the United States the most, but the state flag of Texas, the title of the Lone Star Republic, do you think it is a joke?
So, unless it's a very powerful force, such as the Commander coming directly, or a superhero supervillain who helps Heather, there is no solution to this problem.
"I know. ”
Heather smiled, "Is there anything else I need to know?"
The old lawyer Franworth was shocked, and was frightened by Heather's laughter, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is the bloodline of the Sawyer family, even if it is adopted and raised, when it encounters this kind of thing, it is a little crazy for the first time, it is terrible." ”
Thinking of this, he forced a smile and said, "That's all I know, you can read the letter your grandmother Rayla wrote to you." ”
"Okay, thank you. ”
Heather thanked him sincerely.
"No, that's what I'm supposed to do. ”
The old lawyer Franworth forced a smile: "Then I'll go first, if you have something, you can contact me." ”
"Okay, I will. ”
Heather nodded.
Franworth, the old lawyer, got into the car and drove slowly away from Sawyer Manor, and in the rearview mirror, he saw Heather standing there, opening the envelope left by Rila, and watching with a blank face.
"Alas. ”
With a long sigh, he stepped on the accelerator and sped away from here.
He is a lawyer, only responsible for handling the legal affairs of his clients, and he can't and doesn't want to take care of the rest.
Just as when Ryla told him that Heather's cousin was a psychopathic murderer who lived in the basement of the manor, he didn't call the police, but just kept his eyes shut about his client's privacy.
"I hope I can see her again......"
After the old lawyer Franworth left, Heather opened the envelope, which contained a letter and a pendant necklace that coincided with the scar on her chest.
At this moment, Heather had no doubt in her heart that she was indeed the blood of the Sawyer family.
"Dearest granddaughter, this manor and all that is yours is yours, but these gifts come with some burdens, and your real name is Edith Rose Sawyer. ”
Heather opened the letter, only to find that it read: "Of the keys I asked Franworth to give you, the largest one is to open the underground cellar, where you will find an iron door in which lives your cousin, Jeb Sawyer, your last remaining blood relative, who is a family member and will protect you."
Of course, you also have to take care of him and meet some of his basic needs.
Edith, you are the last bloodline of the Sawyer family, my bloodline, and it is up to you to decide whether or not to stay, but remember, this is your home. ”
After reading the letter, Heather exhaled heavily, reviewed everything over and over again in his mind, and stood there for more than ten minutes before picking up the necklace pendant inherited by the family and wearing it around his neck.
The pendant on the necklace disappeared in an instant.
Seeing this, Heather hurriedly took it out, swinging and swinging, making sure that the pendant on the necklace was placed in a conspicuous place outside, and then pressed the code of 0819, waited until the door slowly opened, and drove in.
Apparently, she already has the final decision.
There is no right or wrong, only hatred.
If you can't talk about the law, you can only pay it with blood.
God says, "A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye."
Not to mention, she's also a good Texan.
What a good Texan, Sheldon's mother Mary, has long been decided......
