Not seeing it… was fine as well.Estelle recalled she was acting a little out of sorts earlier, and smiled embarrassedly, “Sorry, nurse, I just wanted to know which relative was the one who helped out so I can properly thank them.”The nurse consoled her saying, “That man probably did not want you to know, and only wanted to help in silence. However, I have an impression of him, he looked very young, not even in his thirties. He wore a mask and a baseball cap, but was very well-built and tall. Miss Sanders, you should think about it, are there any relatives who look like that back home?”“... Alright.”Beep beep-‘Estelle, I’ve said it before. Once the appropriate time comes, I’ll let you see the real me.’Sir’s message might be a little late, but it still came.Estelle was already too used to it to be surprised. ‘Sorry Sir, I won’t do that anymore.’‘What I talked to you about yesterday, have you given it any thought?’Estelle bit her lips, thinking back to what Sir had said
At the time, other than Aunt Frances, only Estelle and Camilla were at the villa.The footage was enough to prove that, when the incident happened, Estelle was not at the top floor, then the only one who could have pushed Aunt Frances down would be…“Mr Flynn, we invited you over today to share the latest development in our investigation, another reason was to ask again, did Miss Gionni really not know Aunt Frances before this?”Skyler hesitated.After the accident six years ago, he did not meet anyone, locking himself in the house. Aunt Frances had also been sent to the old residence by him, and would only occasionally come over and make him food.At that time, Camilla came to his side.It was not that accurate to say they did not know each other at all. At the very least, Aunt Frances knew there was a woman by his side, and Camilla also knew that the Flynn family still had a maid who could not let him go, and would see him occasionally.However, the two of them should not have
“Camilla, I’ve said before, what I hate the most is being lied to.”“Skyler, what’s up with you today? Are you saying I’m lying to you?”“Camilla, I’ll give you one last chance, tell me the truth. Did you really see the entire process of Estelle pushing down Aunt Frances?” Camilla bit her lips, her heart racing, “... Skyler, did you get new information from the police?”“Answer me!” Skyler was practically shouting.Camilla was so scared she was shaking, “What are you doing, you’re scaring me!”“You scared me as well, Camilla. The footage I saw in the police station left me shuddering.”“...What footage?”“Camilla, are you still not going to tell the truth?”Camilla turned to anger, saying with a frustrated voice, “What do you want me to say? Are you suspecting that I pushed down Aunt Frances? I don’t know Aunt Frances at all, we have no grudges against each other, why would I kill her? I have no reason to kill her at all! Skyler, what was that footage on? Could you tell me?”
Estelle brought her over to a chain coffee store next to the hotel.It seemed to be a place the woman had never been to before, her entire body stiffened, seemingly caught out of sorts, “Miss, I might not be able to afford this place.”“It’s alright, I might not have money now as well, but I can still afford to treat you to a cup of coffee.” Estelle asked softly, “What did you want to tell me?”Tears started to fall from the woman’s eyes, dripping on her arms that were full of scars, she choked as she said, “Miss, you’re a good person. I shouldn’t be saying this, but I’m at the end of the road…”“Don’t rush, say it slowly, what happened?”“I have cancer, late stage.” The woman smiled, but the smile was uglier than her crying, “My son was born with a heart disease. All these years I worked hard to make money, but I am uneducated, so I could only do cleaning work. The pay for that is too little, definitely not enough to pay for the hospital. In the end, I had no choice, and wanted
The child seemed to feel like something was up, and his mood was not great either. He ran over and hugged his mother’s waist, “Mommy, I missed you.”The woman smiled softly, “I just went over to have a few words with the lady.”“But I still really really missed mommy.” The boy burrowed his head into her stomach, “Mommy, have you finished talking?”“Yes, we’re done.”“Then should we hurry to your next workplace? We’re running out of time.”The woman suddenly realized something, and looked at her watch, hurried bidding Estelle farewell, “Miss, I need to go…”Estelle nodded, “You should hurry. Take care, I’ll contact you when I have news.”“Thank you…”The woman led her child and seemed to jog away.Estelle watched as her silhouette disappeared in the distance before retracting her gaze, returning to Banyan City Hotel.This time, she immediately used her fingerprint to unlock the door.“You’re back?” The room was dark, and Sir’s voice came from the liquor cabinet.“Yes, I’m ba
Under the veil of the night, Sir’s silhouette looked exceptionally good, it seemed a bit lonely as well.She did not know what Sir had gone through for a woman so thoroughly cut ties with him and marry another man.Someone like Sir, from her perspective, has steady, rich and warm. He was basically every woman’s dream husband.He had said before that he had done something unforgivable to that woman, did he cheat on her?However, Sir was sleeping by her side every night now, and she had never seen the existence of any other woman. Someone as amazing as Sir did not seem capable of betrayal after falling so deeply in love.Then what could the reason be?“Estelle, what are you thinking about, for you to be so silent?”Estelle shook her head, clinking the wine glas in her hand with his, “Nothing, I’m just a little tired.”Sir’s voice was very tender, like a spring breeze, “You’ve really been too tired lately, you should rest properly.”“Sir, could I ask you for something?”“Your da
When she accepted the parcel, the courier left. Estelle closed the door and returned to the room, opening her package.There was only a piece of paper within the document bag. On it listed all the orphanages within H City, there were roughly fifty to sixty of them.Each one was described in detail, from the environments to whether it had enough money, and even arrangements for the children’s future. It was very detailed and clearly written.Sir was very efficient, she had only mentioned it last night, and he had gotten someone to send it to her right in the morning.However…Courier?Suddenly thinking about something, she hurriedly picked up the document bag she had tossed aside earlier, looking for the courier company’s label.The receiver was her.Then in the sender section was - Sir.Only one word.The sender address was also just a collection point of the courier company, it was not far away from Banyan City Hotel. He did not leave a single thread of his own identity.
The pain on her chest flared up, and Estelle immediately knelt on the floor in pain, not recovering for a long time.Harold was so scared he was about to cry, “Aunty! Are you okay? Uncle, why did you push her!”The lobby manager furrowed his eyebrows as he said hesitantly, “I did not use that much force, how could it be so painful? Are you setting up a scam?”Estelle shut her eyes, waiting for the pain to subside.“Oh, I know now, you brought this kid over to scam me? Oh, your tactics have improved nowadays? Lady, why don’t you get a proper job instead of scamming people? I’ll count to three, if you don’t leave, I’ll call security to chase you out.”Harold was still beside Estelle with worry, crying as he said, “Aunty, I won’t come in anymore. I’ll just wait outside. Are you injured? I’m scared…”Estelle’s face was pale, she shook her head, “I’m alright, don’t be sacred.”“Aunty…”Estelle held his hand, “Don’t worry, I’m here, I’ll protect you, I won’t let anyone bully you.”T
