When Audrey faced her, there was only disdain and contempt, without a hint of guilt or remorse!
How could Rosalind convince herself to swallow her anger?
How dare a murderer shamelessly put on an air of superiority while facing the victim’s family?! This indicated that she had never condemned herself. To her, the act of killing her mother was as insignificant as killing an ant!
“She truly is despicable!” Tilda understood Rosalind’s predicament, “But… she’s sick and constantly in and out of the emergency room. She might die before facing legal consequences!”
Maybe Rosalind could wait a little longer…
What if she died before anything happened? Then Rosalind and Ulric wouldn’t have to be at odds with each other.
“Her death is not the ultimate goal. What I want is for her to confess and pay for her crimes.”
“But this path is too difficult.”
It was more like ants trying to bring down an elephant. One wrong move, and they would be crushed.
“Tilda, what I fear most right now isn’t that the Walters family will retaliate against me or harm me. I’m more afraid of Ulric’s resentment towards me.”
Just the thought of Ulric’s reaction when he received the video evidence restored by B7, and when she filed a lawsuit demanding justice for her mother, filled Rosalind with a painful unease.
“Why be afraid? If Ulric defends his mother, it means he’s unreliable too! You’re not falsely accusing them, and the evidence isn’t fake! Those who commit crimes must face the consequences. His mother is no exception either. Why should his mother get away with murder without punishment?”
Rosalind bit her lip. “I’d rather he blames me.”
“Huh?” Tilda was puzzled.
“Because then I wouldn’t feel guilty anymore! But I know Ulric isn’t that kind of person. I know he’ll be devastated.”
With parents like that, Ulric didn’t have a choice.
But they were his parents after all. His mother went through a life-threatening childbirth to bring him into this world. He couldn’t completely disregard her.
“If you make a scene like this, regardless of the final outcome of the lawsuit, your grudges with the Walters family will go public. Even if years pass, it will still be mentioned. You won’t even have a chance to reconcile with Ulric.”
Rosalind smiled, “I know all of that.”
“And you still won’t change your decision?”
“No.”
“Alright! I’ll do everything I can to help you! So will my cousin.” Tilda reached out her hand and held hers. “Life is short, and you should stick to what you truly want to do. Persist in uncovering the truth and finding the real culprit to bring justice for your mother. That’s a way to live. Life is not just about love. One can still live even without it..”
Tilda’s words of encouragement were always special.
Rosalind stretched her back and leaned her head on Tilda’s shoulder. “Tilda, I will win.”
“Yes, you definitely will! Because you are on the side of justice!”
“Yeah… I will definitely win…” Under the night sky, she silently wiped away her tears and remained silent for a while before calming her emotions slightly. “This is the only time when Ulric and I can get along well. What I need to do now is to cherish this month and make all necessary preparations to bring all those who harmed my mother to justice.”
“Great! I’ll accompany you.”
Though Tilda couldn’t see her face, she took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to Rosalind.
