What should have been a perfect and happy life, all in vain, why on earth!
She hated it, tore her heart out!
Then after countless failures and setbacks, she knew that hate was the most useless emotion, and that revenge was the only way to get back to the top of her life.
So she stood up and turned away with red eyes, not expecting the path to be very slippery from the rain, and getting up too violently, a dizziness came to her brain, and her feet slipped and she actually rolled a few meters along the path, hitting her forehead hard at the corner of the tombstone and instantly lost consciousness.
The rainstorm gradually stopped, the bright red blood spread with the rainwater, from afar to look particularly blinding …
A few days later, Wright Group.
The handwriting identification center came back with a report. The note received from the doctor was compared with the handwriting of Candy Hall when she was at Wright Family, and it was confirmed that it was written by one person.
Emma Rosy was not surprised when the report was sent to Joe Wright and then got up with the folder and prepared to go to the project planning meeting.
As soon as she left the office, she was greeted by two police officers.
“Hello, is this Miss Emma Rosy? There is a suspected murder case, we need to ask you for some information.”
Suspected murder?
Emma Rosy was in a hurry to go to a meeting, and although she was curious about this term she had never heard of, she didn’t have time to find out.
“Excuse me, I am very busy at the moment, please wait in the parlor for a while.” Emma Rosy nodded politely and was about to call her secretary to come, but the policeman in charge raised his hand to block the way.
“Don’t worry, it won’t take you too long, and besides, you’re not nervous or scared at all when there’s a murder?” The old detective seemed to be persuading, but his tone was very uncomfortable.
Emma Rosy was already unhappy with their unscheduled visit, and now she seemed to be treating her like a suspect, so she became even more impatient.
Raising her hand to look at her wristwatch, she reluctantly curled her lip and explained, “If something happens to my family, I won’t know any later than you do, and if something happens to someone else, I’m willing to help, but only if you respect my schedule.”
The old interrogator grunted, ignoring Emma Rosy’s refusal, and said directly, “Two days ago received a report from the cemetery janitor that he saw a woman with a face full of blood in the cemetery, probably dead, but during the time he was frightened and called the police, the suspected dead woman disappeared out of thin air …”
The secretary stood in front of the elevator and waved her hand towards Emma Rosy, thinking that the project leader and the design department staff had all arrived at the conference room, she could not delay any longer and interrupted with a frown, “I must go to the meeting immediately, please go to the parlor and wait.”
After saying that, she raised her step to leave, the old detective suddenly raised his voice: “After testing the blood on the ground, the woman’s name is Marisa Miller!”
Seeing Emma Rosy’s footsteps, the old detective narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: “Investigation has learned that Miss. Richard and Marisa Darcyhave deep grudges, and has repeatedly exposed Marisa Miller’s evil deeds to the police and provided information on her whereabouts.”
“So, what are you trying to say?”
Emma Rosy turned around and met him with a calm face: “As you said, Marisa Miller’s life and death are not yet determined, you have listed me as a suspect without any evidence and intend to deprive me of my normal work, this meeting is about a project with an investment of three million, if there is a mistake, the damage caused by the police are willing to pay for it? ”
Emma Rosy’s work attitude has always been serious and rigorous, never late for several years, without warning was stopped by the police, the mood is already bad, and then learned the news of Marisa Miller, more and more disturbed by the mood, it seems some aggressive.
Because of this, the veteran detective, based on past experience in handling cases, habitually categorized her reaction as a cover for nervousness, suspicion gradually deepened. The police could not afford to interfere with a $3 million project, so they had to offer to wait outside the conference room.
Emma Rosy had no choice but to let them go.
During the meeting, two police officers stood outside, watching the interior carefully through the glass.
Everyone in the room looked very uncomfortable, but Emma Rosy was sitting at the end of the long table, so no one dared to ask questions.
After the head of the design department handed over the design proposal, seeing Emma Rosy’s face getting lower and lower, a heart bumped back and forth in the chest, directly scared out of cold sweat.
“Miss. Richard , you also know that recently the design plans of various projects are rushed, the department is really too busy, you …”
Emma Rosy hate subordinates to make excuses, sternly reprimanded: “not enough manpower can submit applications to the personnel department, not enough time to communicate with the project department to discuss, as far as I know, you have not done anything, right?”
“I … this …” The supervisor took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corner of his forehead tremblingly.
“You’re the first to make excuses for your incompetence and irresponsibility when things aren’t done right! You can sit in this supervisory position if you are good at it, but if you are not, you can step aside!”
Emma Rosy shot up and said in a deep voice: “Meeting adjourned!”
It took half a month to sign the contract, half a month for the project team to prepare, and the project was about to start, but the design department dropped the ball in the nick of time.
Emma Rosy’s anger is also human, but this scene fell in the eyes of the police outside, they think Emma Rosy’s character is explosive, impulsive and easy to anger, more suspicious.
Therefore, after Emma Rosy left the house, the old detective offered to invite her to the criminal police team for questioning.
Everyone in the meeting room was looking at her sideways, and Emma Rosy did not want these two gods to remain in the company, so she readily agreed.
In the questioning room, the light shone on her face, creating a sense of discomfort from the bottom of her heart.
“Where are you on the 16th of this month?”
“I was at work, picking up my daughter from school and celebrating my brother’s birthday.”
“And you didn’t leave the office during the workday?”
“No. I had several meetings in a row that day, and I was so busy that I was at the office the whole time.”
“Joe Wright, your brother, was there anyone present when he had his birthday party? Did anyone leave in the middle of it?”
Emma Rosy answered truthfully, and then raised her hand in front of her eyes, finally unable to resist, “Can you move the lights? I am now a taxpayer cooperating with the police investigation, not a suspect.”
The old detective raised his hand to indicate that the recorder next to him turned off the irradiating light, leaving only a single illumination overhead, and the soft glow seemed to come back to earth.
“Emma Rosy, it is true that there is no evidence pointing to you as the murderer now, but I tell you the truth, it seems that you are the most suspicious at the moment, so you’d better cooperate fully, otherwise you will only aggravate your own …”
According to the normal procedure of questioning, Emma Rosy can accept, but without any reason to be suspected or even threatened, she will not tolerate.
“I did not commit a crime, you can go to visit to confirm, if Marisa Darcyreally died, like you lock the suspicion on innocent people, will only give the real killer the opportunity to take advantage of!”
“Quiet!” The old detective slapped his palm on the table and glared angrily: “This is the police force, not the Wright Group, watch your attitude!”
Emma Rosy hooked her lips and smiled coldly, what kind of attitude is considered good, do you have to go along with their wishes and admit to the trumped up charges to do so?
“In fact, I am very strange, Marisa Darcyhas done so many evil things, there must be countless people who hate her, why do you all want to stare at me?” Emma Rosy spread her hands and said with a bewildered expression, “I have a good alibi, don’t I?”
The old detective shook his head meaningfully: “There are many ways to kill people, and I’ve met people with high IQs who conceal their murders by playing tricks, so it’s not hard to create an alibi.”
“As far as I know, the law in this country is the presumption of innocence, right?” Emma Rosy raised her eyes and asked rhetorically.
“People can’t be as rigid as machines when it comes to handling cases.” The old detective retaliated with cryptic words, then brought up the feud between Emma Rosy and Marisa Miller, and even put the scene he had just seen to use: “Marisa Darcyhas hurt you and your daughter many times, and we know that you are impatient and irritable, and it is not impossible to do things that lose your mind on impulse .”
“Just because I reprimand my subordinates, you guys can figure out my character?”
The old detective raised his eyebrows with a righteous expression.
Emma Rosy showed a mocking smile and said coldly: “You don’t understand the situation in the workplace, but I want to tell you that, excluding the branch, there are hundreds of people in Wright Group, and whether they can live normally depends on my decision. If I don’t reprimand my subordinates for neglecting their work, it’s the same as abandoning the interests of all of them!”
After hearing this, the old detective was finally speechless.
The questioning ended successfully and Emma Rosy left with her lawyer, passing Alex Brown on the way out.
She realized that it was no coincidence that she and Alex Brown were Marisa Miller’s biggest enemies, and it was only natural that they would be the prime suspects. To avoid any further complications, they both passed each other without a glance, as if they were strangers.
She was slightly surprised to see Joe Wright driving up to the police station.
“Why are you here too?”
Joe Wright shrugged helplessly: “You were just taken away by the police, and those old men from the board of directors went to the company to make a fuss. I calmed them down and wanted to come to pick you up and check on the situation, but I got a call from the police halfway.”
Joe Wright and Marisa Miller’s relationship is not deep, but as her time witness, it is reasonable to be questioned. Emma Rosy nodded and took a deep breath: “Their suspicion is not focused on you, it should be over soon, the most important thing is to take advantage of Marisa Miller’s absence to Save Candy Hall.”
Since receiving the handwriting identification, Joe Wright expected Emma Rosy to mention this, but what he wanted to know right now was whether Marisa Miller’s death was true or not.
Unfortunately, the police, not to mention Emma Rosy, could not determine whether Marisa Miller’s death was true.
Thinking of Alex Brown, Joe Wright lifted his chin towards the inside: “Worried about him?”
Emma Rosy did not turn around: “He knows I will worry, so I just need to wait for him to report safe.”
With this tacit understanding, I’m sure there is no one or anything that can break their relationship in the future.
Joe Wright smiled, the full range of emotions inside blended together and instead turned into peace.
At the police station, Alex Brown was questioned in the same way as Emma Rosy, the only difference being that he was in a confidential conversation with Randall Harrah on the night of the incident, which was a matter of business confidentiality and could not be disclosed to the public, so he and Ivy Smith had to testify to each other’s alibi.
Sadly, Ivy Smith was also listed as a suspect by the police, so their proofs could not be trusted, but the police did not have any evidence in their hands, and after the arrival of their lawyer, they were released on bail.
Sitting in the car on the way back, Ivy Smith was full of grievances: “Marisa Darcyis really haunted, and she has to drag a backer after she dies, but she deserves to be killed for that kind of person!”
Ivy Smith and the police think alike, both tend to Marisa Darcyis dead, but Alex Brown always feel that it is not that simple.
Maybe Marisa Darcyset up another trap to fool them all …
After nightfall, the hospital gradually regained its quiet, empty corridor only a dark shadow shifting, deliberately light footsteps are also particularly clear.
The black shadow came to the door of a ward, looked around for a moment, did not do anything and returned the same way.
“It’s really strange, there’s actually no one on guard today!” The dark shadow walked into the duty room, and the light revealed the doctor’s puzzled face.
Joe Wright and Emma Rosy, who had already changed into their nursing uniforms, smiled at each other and were also full of surprise.
If Marisa Darcyhad died in an accident, her bodyguards would not have been notified so quickly, so how could they have gone AWOL?
However, they didn’t have time to consider more as they were under the doctor’s watchful eye, they quickly dashed into the hospital room, put a white cloth over the grateful Candy Hall, and then pushed her away.
The journey back to the old house was uneventful, and as they watched Candy Hall sitting on the sofa, rambling on about her gratitude, the more they thought about it, the stranger they felt.
After learning of the plan to rescue Candy Hall, Eva Taylor has been waiting at the old house. Now she is sitting opposite to her former rival, which makes her feel a bit uncomfortable, but seeing Candy Hall’s frail body and her face full of tears, she feels that the past doesn’t seem so important.
People always become forgiving when they have a good life.
“Uh …” she scratched her cheek to break the silent deadlock: “It’s getting late, won’t you guys arrange for her to rest?”
Emma Rosy sniffed and winked at Joe Wright, gesturing for him to sit back down next to Eva Taylor, and then said to Candy Hall, “How are you feeling? Can you answer a few questions for me?”
Candy Hall sniffled, barely stopped crying, and tearfully sobbed, “I’ll do whatever you want!”
Finally, after all the words of gratitude, now the loyalty?
After Joe Wright took his seat, he looked at Candy Hall with suspicion and reminded her in a cold voice: “No need to pretend to be pitiful, just ask you one thing, answer honestly and then you can disappear. The doctor said that a man has been following you around all this time, who is he? Why is it that he is not here today?”
“He’s a bodyguard arranged by Marisa Darcyto watch my every move.” This is the truth, Candy Hall answered quickly, but then hesitated: “As for why he was not at … I don’t know, I was asleep at the time, if the doctor had not woken me up, I would not have noticed.”
Emma Rosy and Joe Wright looked at each other, both suspicious of this explanation.
Even Emma Rosy, who was convinced that Candy Hall had been coerced and controlled by Marisa Miller, could not help but be swayed at this moment.
Of course, the matter has come to this point, even if everything is really Marisa Darcyand Candy Hall’s plan, they can only take the plan as it is.
Seeing that several people are not talking, Candy Hall said anxiously: “Do you not believe me? I’m telling you the truth, please don’t kick me out, only you can help me now … if … if Marisa Darcyknows I’ve escaped, she’ll kill me!”
It looked like she didn’t know Marisa Darcywas alive or dead?
Emma Rosy became more and more puzzled, so she had to propose first: “If you are afraid of being hunted, stay here for the time being, or the original room, but you have to recognize your identity and the sins you have committed, and sincerely reform.”
Not waiting for Candy Hall to gratefully agree, Joe Wright snatched the veto: “No! Grandpa is still in a coma in the hospital, what right does she have to live in the old house again? Besides, if Marisa Darcywanted to find her hiding place, this would be the first place she would suspect.”
Emma Rosy then nodded in agreement: “That’s right. But then the Wright Family property would seem to be out of place.”
For a moment, the living room fell silent again.
After a while Eva Taylor tentatively said, “Why don’t we let her come to the Taylor Family’s apartment?”
The Taylor Family has an apartment in a remote location, surrounded by no development, a good place to hide.
“No way.” Joe Wright’s tone was firm: “It would be too much of a commitment.”
“And what better way do you have?” Eva Taylor asked rhetorically.
