A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 892 Pay Much

Sammy was stunned. Knowing that Raphael was fine, she was relieved and looked at Macel with hatred. She turned her gaze at Rae. Rae looked away. After all, Rae hid something from Sammy just now.

"Sammy, you are the suspect. Mathew said you killed Joanna while you said it was him. Both of you are suspects."

"I can confront him in court." Sammy said seriously.

Marcel shook his head. "There is no other witness. You can't prove your innocence yourself."

"There were gloves in the kitchen. He wore gloves and took a towel to wipe the handle of the knife and footprints on the ground. In addition, his clothes were bathed with blood. I had no idea where he threw his cloths. However, he wore different clothes when he came home. These are all proofs. You can go and find them. If you can't, you are too incompetent!"

Marcel frowned, "How did you get out?"

Marcel was puzzled about that.

Sammy said, "I climbed out along the drainage pipe in the back yard of the villa. The pipe happened to be repaired that day, so one well lid was not covered. Mathew wanted to take Raphael's car, but I refused. I didn't want my son to know I was there. I still want to be a good mother. My son would be sad if he knew that. I reached an agreement with Mathew. As long as he lets my son be his only heir, I can conceal the fact that he killed Joanna. So, I kept my mouth shut. I didn't expect that you would find it out and Raphael would turn himself in. Even if Raphael didn't give himself in, the police would not rule out the possibility that he or Mathew killed Joanna. Now you prove his innocence. That's okay!"

"We need to confirm that what you said is true or not." Marcel asked about more details and left.

He went back to the office and asked someone to take the surveillance footage. They watched it together.

They found that Joanna's nurse got in and out several times. However, she went out of the villa one more time than she went in. In other words, the nurse went in the villa from the drain once. She was present when the case occurred.

Marcel went to ask Sammy. It turned out that the nurse got in from the drain.

"She could run such a risk to help you. How much money did you give her?" Marcel asked.

"Two million!" said Sammy.

Marcel frowned.

Sammy said, "I made Joanna abort on my own. I gave her two million and she just needed to pretend not to know it."

Marcel sneered. "Is it worth it?" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Compared with the property of the Gill family, two million is nothing." Sammy was very generous.

No wonder the nurse was tempted.

Garbassi went to that nurse but she was missing, so he began to inquire her whereabouts all over the city.

Marcel interrogated Mathew, who remained calm and said calmly, "Sammy is the murderer. That's all I want to say!"

"You accuse her and she accuses you. It's interesting."

"Mathew, you enjoy high prestige in City B, but you are so indiscreet about your private life."

"You don't have to sneer at me. Even if I am in the prison, I have the right to sue you." Mathew was stubborn.

Marcel was in no hurry. "Sure. You are just a suspect. We are trying to prove your innocence."

Seeing Rae, Mathew suddenly said, "Rae is a bitch. She is not fit to be a policewoman. You didn't look into her private life?"

Rae was surprised. Why was Mathew so hostile to her? Did they have some conflicts before? Or she was involved in his private life?

Rae was scared and lowered her head. Her mind was in a turmoil. She was afraid that she could not keep her identity a secret if she was investigated.

Marcel answered in a strict tone, "Mathew, we are talking about you instead of Rae. Rae took exams and then worked in police station. She has been working hard and can be described as a good policewoman. She is different from you. You have indiscretions."

"You are so partial to her. Are you fascinated by her?" Mathew said in a flirtatious tone.

Rae was stunned and wanted to question Mathew, but she failed. She was afraid that Mathew would say something that she could not contradict.

Garbassi and Easton looked at each other, all silent.

Marcel chuckled and said in a firm one, "I believe her. We know her character well. As for you, your bad conduct is disgraceful. Don't try to make an accomplice of Rae."

Mathew suddenly laughed. "Both my son and you are seduced and charmed by Rae. She is indeed a tricky woman!"

Rae suddenly raised her head. She couldn't bear it anymore and said in a cold voice, "Mathew, I show respect for you because you are Raphael's brother and has known my father for so many years. I didn't expect that you would take advantage of your seniority and be so rude to me. How did I seduce Raphael?"

"You have been pregnant, haven't you?" Mathew said.

Rae opened her eyes wide in astonishment.

So did Marcel.

Rae was lost for words.

Mathew said, "Where is that child?"

Rae's mind was in a turmoil. She didn't know how to answer him.

It was the story of Rae, but she was not Rae and didn't have those memories. What could she say to prove her innocence? Did she have to be obtuse on purpose? Rae thought for a while and decided to be obtuse deliberately. Kane had looked into everything about Rae. Rae didn't give birth to any child, though she was pregnant before. Moreover, she was a virgin now.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Rae put on a faint smile and said in a mocking tone, "Mathew, are you trying to say something impressive to shift our attention? I am really ashamed of you. You are responsible for this case. Raphael worries about you so much. You are just thinking about insulting others. You slander me because you don't want me to be married to Raphael. Don't worry. I won't marry him even if I die. I am a maiden. Even if I am a married woman, it has nothing to do with you."

Rae made it clear that she was a maiden and was not pregnant. What Mathew said was nonsense.

However, Marcel looked at Rae thoughtfully. Rae turned her head and found it. She felt somewhat sad and sentimental. She should not have anything more to wish. She clearly knew that Marcel would not believe her.

She could not expect it. She was Natalie instead of Rae, so she could not explain Rae's past. Even if Mathew told a lie, she had to nail his lie and made everyone believe her. She knew that it was a false statement, but she was unsure whether others trusted her or not.

She peeped at Marcel. Marcel raised his head and threw a complicated gaze at her. There were mixed feelings in his eyes. Rae could not figure them out, so she lowered her head.

The night breeze blew through the window and she felt more down.

Her feet were so aching that she pursed her lips slightly.

Human effort was the decisive factor.

She could not be so pessimistic.

Thinking of that, she calmed down and started to entertain hope.

After Mathew insulted Rae, Marcel fixed his gaze on Rae to observe the changes of her expression. She was sad and in despair at the beginning, but she pulled herself together very quickly. She seemed to come round and put on a confident look.

Marcel appreciated Rae for what she just said. He was a reserved man, so he would not praise her in public.

Rae thought that Marcel defended her just now, so she looked up at him and gave him a grateful smile. She said, "Thank you for believing me. A clean hand wants no washing."

Mathew sneered, "Rae, do you remember how coquettish you were when you seduced me?"

Rae was surprised

Marcel's face turned gloomy.

Rae suddenly laughed, "Mathew, are you crazy? How could it be possible? I distain to be together with Raphael. Do you think I will seduce an old and incompetent man as you.? I am not mad. Moreover, Joanna said that you had difficulty in getting it up and needed to see the male doctor. Why do I seduce you? For money? My family is better than the Gill family. I am the only heir of the Baxter family. Don't you think that motive doesn't make sense? If I did it for kicks, I didn't have to be with you. There are a lot of men who are handsome and have a good taste. What you said is ridiculous. Mathew, I hope you can answer our questions honestly. Don't slander me because you can't accept me as your daughter- in-law. You look like a mean and pathetic man!"
