Hah…Rodney curled his lips into a grin in agony.At that moment, the door of the courtroom pushed open. A few police officers came in and presented their proof of identity. “We’re the police. We’ve received a report that Sarah was involved in a murder case. We need to take her to the police station for investigation.”Rodney was shocked.Sarah screamed in disbelief, “What murder? What nonsense are you talking about?”“Someone reported that the death of your father’s second wife, Jennifer Craven, is suspicious. We’ve gathered some evidence showing that you’re not only suspected of murder but also for ruining Jennifer’s dead body. Besides that, you often bewitch men you used to be with, attempting to swindle them out of their money and deceive them in marriage. Therefore, we must arrest you right now, and you can’t be bailed out.”Once the police officer finished speaking, he handcuffed Sarah and took her away.“No. I didn’t murder her. Don’t accuse me. Save me, Grady. Save me…”
“Hah. I helped Sarah?” Grady laughed in exasperation. “I did that to teach that woman a lesson. Otherwise, why do you think the housekeeper told you about it? In fact, I was the one who bribed her. If not, why would Sarah happen to be in bed with me when you came over? Why did the reporters happen to come…”“You fooled me.” Rodney tugged at Grady’s collars.Grady snorted. “Please. I’m the second young master of Hamel Corporation. No other woman has ever dared to trick me. Since she tricked me and played with my feelings, I will put her through hell. That woman even wanted to deceive me into giving her money so that she could return it to you. That’s just wishful thinking, and she’s greedy. You should thank me for exposing the woman’s true colors. If it weren’t for me, you would’ve been fooled by this woman forever.”Rodney was so dumbfounded that he looked like he was frozen. Grady poked Rodney’s chest pathetically. “Do you know how that woman described you in private? She claimed
No.Rodney’s eyes settled on Grady. Then, something struck Rodney. “I… I must’ve been hypnotized by Sarah. Yes, that must be it. Shaun, didn’t you say Sarah had rewritten your memories? Grady, too. He was hypnotized by Sarah when staying with her–”“You probably weren’t hypnotized,” Shaun interrupted him. “We’ve argued with you so many times. If your memories had been rewritten, we would’ve long since realized.”“Your case isn’t the same as Grady’s.” Catherine said, “If it were, you would’ve still been brainwashed by Sarah even after knowing that she had an affair. You wouldn’t have beaten her up.”Shaun nodded in agreement.Rodney froze for a moment before forcing a strained smile.He just wanted to find a reasonable excuse for himself.Nevertheless, he found out that only other men whom Sarah got together with were bewitched through hypnosis. He was the only one who got deceived by Sarah purely because he trusted her.He really was foolish.Everyone was right in criticizing
“Not only that but Thomas’s act of breaking into Freya’s home to rape and abuse her that night was also instigated by Sarah.”At the mention of the past, Shaun’s cheeks clenched in anger. “Sarah said she was dating me, so no matter how evil Thomas’s actions were, I would’ve helped her if she pleaded to me. Back then, I was… deceived by Sarah as well. I thought Thomas did it on his own.”Rodney’s body shook, and he suddenly recalled something. “The drug that Thomas gave Freya during the banquet of my company’s new product launch…”“Sarah was also the one who instigated it.” Shaun said, “Sarah initially wanted to ruin Freya, but instead, it made you and Freya get together by accident. That was how that night happened.”“…”Under everyone’s gazes, Rodney suddenly wanted to bury himself inside a hole. He actually believed Sarah’s words back then. She said she did not know Thomas would do that kind of thing and would have stopped him if she knew. There was also the incident where F
Rodney was utterly ashamed of himself.If he could turn back time, he would strangle that stupid him to death.“The most useless thing in the world is an apology. It’s a relief that nothing escapes the law. Bad people will eventually face retribution.”Catherine glanced at Shaun and Eliza. “Since we’ve recorded our statement, let’s go.”Shaun and Eliza walked out of the police station without saying a word. A black van drove over, and only then did Eliza raise her head, turn around, and hug Catherine. She said with a trembling voice, “Thank you. Thank you.”She was truly grateful.Getting revenge in that way might be the best ending.Eliza thought of using the cruelest method to get revenge on Sarah in the past. She wanted to make Sarah’s life a living hell.However, the price of doing so would be dragging herself into an abyss.Eliza was incredibly thankful toward Catherine, not only for herself but also her deceased parents and Charity, who was still missing her remains.
“…”Catherine did not say a word. She simply pressed her elegant lips together. Shaun started feeling nervous. “Can you give me an identity…”That cautious look made Catherine recall the bossy and haughty Shaun from the past. She could not hold back her laughter.Seeing that Catherine was laughing, Shaun let out a sigh of relief. He pulled her petite hand. “Cathy, the way you stayed silent just now scared me.”“Am I that scary?” Catherine gave him a slanted gaze. “Weren’t you quite arrogant in front of me before?”“How was I arrogant?” Shaun made a wronged expression. “I was prideful in the past. Now, I can give up everything for my wife. I only want you.”“You’re aware of the consequences Rodney has to face, aren’t you? If you wrong me again…” Catherine smiled. “It’ll be tragic.”“Cathy, don’t you know that you’re even more charming now?” Shaun said with a deep gaze, “You’ve gotten even smarter and capable. I’m lucky to be able to marry you.”“Yes, count yourself lucky.” Cat
Why would Grady do that?Sarah suddenly understood in an instant. She had never successfully hypnotized Grady. She was the one who was deceived by him.“So he deceived me. He was deceiving me all along.”Too many things had been happening lately. Sarah’s brain was on the verge of a breakdown. She shouted as if she had gone mad, “I never did it! Don’t accuse me. I’m just an ordinary psychologist.”“Is that true?” The police officer sneered. “But your biological brother admitted it too. He said you actually hated your stepmother. On the surface, it appeared as if you respected Jennifer a lot. In private, you kept instigating Thomas and Jennifer so that they would fight. You also egged Thomas on to anger his father to death. Your evil actions make people boil with anger. You didn’t even spare your biological father.”Even when faced with the police’s interrogation, Sarah insisted on not admitting anything. When the police gathered more and more evidence, the prosecutor’s office rai
On the other hand, Eliza closed her eyes in agony.The prosecutor stood up. “From Thomas’ words, it can be sufficiently proven that Sarah had the motive for murder. Based on the words of Sarah’s ex-boyfriend, we know that her capability in hypnosis is exceptional. The last person Jennifer met was Sarah. Within half an hour after Sarah left, an accident happened to Jennifer and she passed away. We’ve consulted an expert psychologist as well. If Sarah had hypnotized Jennifer first, it was definitely possible to make Jennifer disoriented and die from a fall.”“Nonsense. These are all your speculations!” Sarah shouted.“Your Honor, this was Jennifer’s health report when she was alive. She was very healthy.” The prosecutor handed over a document. “There are also some examples of past cases where people used hypnosis to carry out murder.”After an hour-long trial, the judge finally gave a verdict for Sarah’s crimes. As Sarah had done too many evil acts in addition to murder, the judge im
