If Kevin Armstrong hadn’t told her that this was her father’s secretary, she would never have thought that the hunched-over man in front of her was the one she remembered.
Holding back her surprise, she sat down on the couch, wanting to know what had happened to the secretary.
But before Emma Richard sat, the man knelt directly in front of her, which made her a little unaware of what was wrong, and hurriedly reached out to help.
“You don’t want to do that.” Emma Richard squatted and tried to help her up, but instead she saw the tears on her face.
“Emma, it’s me who’s sorry for your father, it’s me who’s sorry for the company …” she was a bit incoherent, ever since the incident at the company, she had been immersed in self-blame, not to mention knowing that Emma Richard had been sent to jail, which made her feel even more guilty.
For years, she had lived with the guilt, wanting to redeem herself, until Kevin Armstrong found her that day, and a little relief came over her.
“You get up first.” Emma Richard is not stupid, guessed the meaning of her words, reasonably should be angry, but Emma Richard still resisted first help her to the sofa.
Looking at her aging face, Emma Richard asked after a moment of silence, “What happened back then? What have you been through all these years?”
The secretary heard Emma Richard’s words, wiped the tears from her face and talked about the past, as if she had instantly aged ten years, “I’m sorry, Matthew Miller always wanted to compare your father, but never found the opportunity, until that day, he found me. ”
She paused here, as if she thought of something bad in general, her face also became a little trance, “he wanted me to do false accounting in the company, I did not agree at that time, but one day received a phone call from him, he kidnapped my mother, I had no choice but to agree.”
The secretary, on the other hand, looked as if she recalled something bad, and her face changed .
“I am sorry to you, sorry to you, but I also suffered retribution, you do not blame me, OK? Forgive me, OK?” The secretary pulled Emma Richard’s arm tightly, pleading bitterly, and her face was in pain.
Emma Richard pulled her up from the floor and helped her sit on the sofa, “What retribution have you received?”
Sure enough, her question made the secretary’s face, which had just eased, turn pale again.
Emma Richard could feel the coldness of the hand that was pulling her, and sighed slightly, she poured her a cup of hot water.
After the secretary got the hot water as if she had found a savior, her hands clutched the quilt.
Her body was trembling, silently telling the extent of her fear of that memory.
For this situation, Kevin Armstrong and Judi Dench are also want to know what really happened back then.
“The devil, he’s the devil.” The secretary’s voice trembled a little, and her eyes were filled with fear.
The devil?
Emma Richard was a little confused about who she was talking about when she said this demon represented.
“Matthew Miller?” Judi Dench asked tentatively, but just as she opened her mouth, she felt the hatred and fear in her eyes.
Judi Dench was slightly frightened by the look , slowly moved behind Kevin Armstrong.
“It’s okay, he’s not here.” Emma Richard was also guessing that the demon in the secretary’s mouth was Matthew Miller. Seeing that her emotions were once again a little out of control, Emma Richard gently patted her on the back to calm her down.
After waiting for the secretary’s emotions to stabilize again, Emma Richard finally heard the matter.
“Matthew Miller, he is the devil.” The secretary seemed very afraid of Matthew Miller, “he kidnapped my mother, and raped me, I did not surrender, he threatened my mother, until finally, I could not stand it anymore, wanted to die with him, but he was lucky, and finally … ”
She said biting her lips, her hand trembled again, “Finally he killed my mother, I was about to go crazy, took a knife and tried to kill him, but it was no use, and finally I was still tied up by him.”
The secretary’s tears slowly slipped down to her chin, and the pain on her face did not diminish at all, “I’m sorry Miss. Richard , betrayed the company’s affairs one by one to that son of a bitch Matthew Miller.”
The company’s affairs have come to light, Emma Richard is now in a particularly complicated mood, simply do not know how to say.
“Did my dad find out about it later?” That financial statement had been taken, and now Emma Richard was even more at a loss as to what to do.
“Miss. Richard found out too late.” The secretary scratched her hair with a chagrined look.
“The company’s loopholes are already completely unfilled, and to cover his tracks, he actually wants me dead.”
A flash of hatred flashed in the secretary’s eyes, and her words fell on the ears of the crowd, causing a somewhat heavy look on their faces.
“You stay here in peace for now, I need your testimony.” Emma Richard exhaled a foul breath and calmed the secretary’s emotions down.
After understanding the situation, Emma Richard and the others left one after another, and what they didn’t notice was that the inconspicuous place at the door had been marked.
“What about the financial statements?” Judi Dench felt a little guilty talking about the financial statement, which would not have been lost if she had not been careless, “I checked the security camera and could only find this vaguely.”
To make up for her mistake, she went to check the security camera that day, but there were no clues.
Judi Dench brought out a USB drive with the surveillance video she had copied over.
“Go to my place, it’s not very convenient to talk about these things here.” Kevin Armstrong looked around for a moment and his eyes sank.
The two listened to him and then nodded in agreement.
After they left, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cell, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
“Yes, yes, okay, I will continue to monitor.” The caller didn’t know what to say and the man’s face was all smiles.
When he hung up the phone he headed for the back door of the neighborhood.
On the other hand, they had arrived at Kevin Armstrong’s place.
Just walked into the house, Emma Richard found the entire house empty without a little bit of popularity, “your house is so big ah.”
And Kevin Armstrong heard her words and did not say anything.
He led the two people to the study and opened the computer.
The video played back and forth, and the image of Judi Dench and the man’s figure collided back and forth.
“Wait!” Emma Richard, as if she suddenly saw something, hurriedly paused the video, “Go back a little bit.”
The screen moved little by little, and when it reached an angle it was suddenly paused there.
Judi Dench’s eyes widened, with a look of disbelief.
The image only appeared for that moment to see the man looking up, his face was a little blurry but his outline and appearance was discernible.
