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
For some strange reason, Rodney was envious. He heard that they would be having a celebration on a cruise ship. There was a time when he was one of them as well. No matter where they went, he would never be left out. Rodney was the one who dug his own grave. He fell out with every one of them for Sarah.Now…Bitterness filled Rodney’s heart. He hesitated and agonized for a long time. Finally, he walked over. “Shaun, Chester, Freya…”When the last name came out of his lips, his gaze was filled with pain and guilt. He turned to Freya.Freya’s expression went cold instantly. She was extremely uncomfortable, looking as though she had swallowed a fly. She did not look at him but simply took out her phone and looked at the time. “It’s already 11:00 a.m. Shall we leave?”“Freya…” Rodney was anxious. He stood in front of her in a hurry. “I… I’m sorry. I apologize for everything I did to you in the past. I was too stupid. I was deceived by Sarah repeatedly and hurt you. I made such a
“Ah, why would he be afraid? He even abandoned his ex-wife and daughter for a murderer.”“Is there something wrong with his brain?”“He’s pretty handsome, but why is his brain all mashed up? No wonder he got cheated on.”“...”Rodney was like a zombie.They could just say all they wanted about him.That was because he was disgusted with himself as well. Just what kind of demon was he in love with for over ten years?He finally saw through everything that day.…At the parking lot, Shaun opened the car door. Before he got in, he suddenly said to everyone, “You guys can go on the cruise ship first. Cathy and I will only head over after getting our marriage certificate at the registry office.”It was not just Catherine who was stunned but the rest too. Freya widened her eyes. Then, she pulled her best friend’s arm and yelled in agitation, “Why didn’t you tell me about such an important thing? Besides, didn’t you say you’d wait for me? Are you going to abandon me and get marr
