However, the interrogation room was especially quiet at the moment, as all three of them were holding their breath. Even the sound of a pin dropping on the floor could be heard.
Therefore, the conversation between Sophia and Betty was clearly audible.
“Mom! You should distance yourself from Dr. McAlister. I think the secret to Jeremy’s mother’s death has to carry it to their graves. As long as he stays alive, he is a death threat to you.”
At once, Jeremy’s pupils trembled violently.
His mother?
“It won’t happen. It had been almost 20 years since the incident. The evidence is long gone. Unless that bitch, Anne, comes back from the dead to accuse me, no one will know how she died back then!”
When Alyssa heard that, her heart skipped a beat. A burst of anger raged in her.
Cyrus was also stunned. He hadn’t expected this incident to be related to Javier’s former wife, Anne Bartley.
Her death was a confusing case from years ago. If brought to light, it would undoubtedly lead to a grim fate for Sophia.
No wonder Sophia had been so desperate to kill Nina.
“Jeremy.” Alyssa gazed at Jeremy with concern.
At this moment, Jeremy was staring at the phone with dark eyes. The tears in his eyes were more heartbreaking and hard to look at than the broken screen.
“What do you mean by no one? There’s Liana!”
This matter involved Liana too?
Alyssa felt a chill down her spine.
It was evident that Jeremy’s mother’s death hadn’t been an accident but a carefully orchestrated plot by Sophia.
When Alyssa had been married to Jeremy, she had asked Rosie about Anne’s death. However, Rosie had always been hesitant to talk about it and had kept the details about it a secret.
Rosie had mentioned that Jeremy didn’t like anyone probing into Anne’s death.
She had also said that Jeremy had been a carefree and cheerful young man before Anne’s passing. He was nothing like that now.”
Anne’s death had dealt a devastating blow to Jeremy. It had almost destroyed the once-lively boy.
Meanwhile, Sophia, the murderer, was living in luxury, enjoying all the wealth and glory life had to offer. Where was justice?
“Pfft, she’s nothing! She is a chess piece that is no longer useful. If she wants to come back to Solana City, she had better sew her mouth. shut. By the way, you do have someone keeping an eye on Anne’s maid, who I bribed, don’t you?”
“Yes, she is far away in Rolanda. She opened a small restaurant there. She had benefited from us, so I’m sure she will bury the secret with her.”
“Good. Very good.” Sophia suddenly burst into a sinister laugh. In the dim interrogation room, she sounded like an evil spirit.
“That bitch probably feels guilty toward her son even in death. She probably can’t even forgive herself in hell..
“Thinking about how that bastard was played by Liana and will never know the truth about his mother’s death brings me great pleasure. No matter how much I suffer, as long as I think about this, I feel extremely satisfied.”
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
Breathing heavily, Jeremy suddenly stood up, sending his chair crashing to the ground.
He had blood-shot eyes, and every inch of his b*dy was filled with an imminent explosive tension, as though he were ready to kill.
“I’m going to kill her.”
Shocked, Alyssa watched the tears stream down his red-rimmed eyes. She felt that his tears were filled with hatred and mixed with blood.
She had never seen Jeremy so angry and desperate.
His pale l*ps trembled slightly. The overwhelming blow had pushed him into an abyss. The pain of learning the cruel truth was as excruciating as having a limb cut off and being engulfed in flames.
“I’m going to kill Sophia. I’m going to kill her.”
At this moment, Jeremy’s mind was completely consumed by anger and rage. He clenched his fists tightly, like a wild beast gone mad, crashing wildly in the cage of hatred
“I will send everyone related to my mother’s death to hell!”
Before the words could settle, he had already rushed out of the door. “Jeremy! Calm down. Calm down, please.”
In the urgency of the moment, Alyssa exerted all her strength and wrapped her arms around Jeremy from behind, securing his tense waist tightly.
“Jeremy! Lyse is right!”
Cyrus also stepped forward, blocking Jeremy’s way. He looked into the latter’s pale face. The sadness in his eyes made Cyrus feel deeply distressed.
“Taking a life demands a price. You’re a good person. Why give your life for these wicked animals? If you really want revenge for your mother, you have to stay rational and clear-headed.
“Yes, Sophia deserves to die. But if you take action, it just means one life for another. Is it worth it for that bitch? If something happens to you, what about Lyse? Have you thought about her?”
Cyrus had said so much, but it seemed like only the last two sentences acted like a strong and effective sedative for Jeremy.
Alyssa was exerting all her strength on Jeremy’s back. She closed her eyes, tightly holding onto his waist. Even though her face was soaked with cold sweat, she pressed against his back, not moving.
She could feel his breath and racing heartbeat gradually calm down. Even so, she refused to relax a bit.
She understood him. If it had been her mother, she would have probably reacted even more terrifyingly than he did.
After some time, Jeremy finally regained his rationality. He gently covered her red, clenched hand with his cold one.
His voice was trembling and hoarse as he said, “Lyse, I’m sorry. I
Alyssa’s heart wrenched, and she shook her head with closed eyes.
Jeremy was sometimes so silly that it made people feel sorry for him. Even at a time like this, he was still apologizing to her. What was he at fault for?
He was clearly the most miserable person in the world at this moment.
“But Lyse, what should I do?”
Jeremy’s eyes, numbed by pain, continuously shed tears. He stood stiffly, as if his heart had been dug out and thrown into a dark and boundless abyss, freezing his core.
“Why am I so stupid? The murderer who killed my mother was right in front of me and lived with me for 20 years, but I knew nothing about it.
“Lyse, tell me. Besides killing her, what should I do? How can I get justice for my mother?”
“It will come. Justice will be meted out soon.”
Alyssa gently stroked his trembling back. Her voice was gentle, soothing his soul, which had been torn apart by hatred.
“I hate Sophia and Betty just like you. I want them to pay with their lives too. I’ll help you, Jeremy. I’ll do everything I can to complete this revenge with you.
“I will be with you the whole way and bear all the unknown dangers with you. We must both be fine and watch the evildoers go to hell.”
Jeremy had tears in his eyes and closed them tightly, firmly holding onto her hand.
I will be with you.
It was you Fefore a god turpussing countless honeyed phrases in the world
They had finally come together, not for love but for revenge
Evers so. Jeremy was already extremely satisfied
“Mom, if you’re in heaven, please bless me once,” he prayed.
Too much had happened that night.
Even Cyrus, a professional police officer, couldn’t fully digest it. He had initially wanted Jeremy to go home and rest. Yet Jeremy was extremely stubborn and insisted on providing his statement.
His current condition wasn’t good at all.
Seaview Manor was a place that brought him unbearable grief and hatred. It was now somewhere he couldn’t bring himself to stay.
