Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 168: Iβm Sorry, Truly Sorry
"You!" Candace Fordβs wide eyes were full of deep despair, "What on earth is going on? Didnβt Raine go to the hospital?!"
Winston Clayton couldnβt possibly be lying to her!
Even Lily Sinclair wasnβt sure about this, instinctively she looked over at her cousin. ππ³π¦ππ€ππ£π―β΄π·π¦π.πππ
She did call 911, but it was just a trick to confuse Candace Fordβshe never thought her cousin would cooperate like this?
Raine, hearing this, turned back to look at Candace Ford.
"Isnβt this exactly what you wanted to see? Since you want to harm me, Iβll play along and lure the snake out of its hole."
Her voice was indifferent, as if she was telling someone elseβs story.
In fact, she had long noticed Lily Sinclairβs unusual behavior, and the words Finn Wyatt said later only confirmed that Lily must be hiding something from her.
When the ambulance arrived at the house asking where the injured person was, Raine didnβt think twice before lying down.
At that time, it was only her and Lily at home, if someone in the family had called 911, she would definitely know right away.
Since it wasnβt a family member who called, it could only be Lily who had just left.
Unexpectedly, her plan backfired and gave Candace Ford peace of mind.
"You all..." Candace Ford could no longer care about any of this, the pain in her abdomen was becoming increasingly intense!
She knew exactly how strong the effects of the drug were!
The drug was meant for her, but now her child...
Raine was equally shocked.
She turned to look at Lily, suddenly feeling as if she was looking at a stranger.
Even Jonas Hawthorneβs betrayal hadnβt caused her such a great impact and harm...
After all, he was the lover she had eagerly pursued.
Two years of marriage, Jonas Hawthorneβs indifference and neglectβshe saw it all and even found excuses for him.
Maybe he just wasnβt in love, this marriage was something she had forced from the beginning, even if it couldnβt last in the end, there was no one else to blame.
But Lily was different.
They grew up together, and their sisterly bond was deep!
How could such a family member do so many little schemes behind her back?
The most crucial thing was that Lily clearly knew Candace Ford had such a deep hatred for her, yet they could still unite?
The immense betrayal and sadness instantly enveloped Raine!
Apparently noticing her cousinβs unbearably disappointed gaze, Lily quickly turned to her to explain, "Sis, I know you must be very upset, Iβm sorry, I shouldnβt have done this... I donβt even know why, I was just misled by her then, which made me make those choices. Sister, Iβm sorry, really sorry..."
She spoke with tears in her eyes, stepping forward to try to hold Raineβs hand, wanting to admit her mistake.
However, seeing her approaching, Raine suddenly stepped back hurriedly as if avoiding some terrible danger!
Lily was stunned.
Seeing her cousin retreating, her heart felt as if it was being torn apart!
Something that once felt warm was gradually being pulled away.
"Sis, I..."
She wanted to step forward again but was blocked by Finn Wyatt who suddenly appeared.
"By choosing to help others, itβs like youβre pushing your sister away with your own hands," Finn Wyatt coldly threw out a sentence.
Because this was, at the very least, still Raineβs sister, he chose to speak more gently...
Otherwise, he could have said anything nasty!
"I know." Lily lowered her eyes, finally shedding tears of regret, "Sis, I know you must really hate me now, itβs all my fault... I drugged Candace Ford, and Iβll soon be going to prison. Iβll tell the police everything sheβs done to you truthfully, Iβll take her to jail, and there will be no one to hurt you ever again."
This was the only thing she could do for her cousin now...
Listening to her words, Raineβs watery eyes flickered slightly.
"Why? Why did you do this? From childhood to adulthood, Iβve given you everything you wanted..." Though Raine stepped back two more steps, her gaze never left Lily.
"I... I donβt know." Lily clenched her hands hanging by her sides.
Recalling those times, she felt as if a long-sleeping devil suddenly awakened, hadnβt she?
Perhaps everyone has their own inner demon.
Some are provoked by the outside world and controlled by their inner demons.
Some are strong-hearted and defeat their inner demons.
And some... never let their inner demons wake up in their whole life.
The feeling was really quite amazing, even Lily hadnβt realized another terrifying self existed within.
By the time all these things happened, she finally came to her senses: Ah, so she did them herself...
No amount of remorse will be of any use anymore.
Soon, both 911 and the police arrived simultaneously.
Finn Wyatt called 911 and reported to the police too.
These matters arenβt easy to handle privately, to uphold justice naturally requires professionals.
As the nurses lifted Candace Ford onto the stretcher, Lily walked directly to the police officers and extended her hands.
"I drugged her, please arrest me."
The police paused, being seasoned officers, none of them expected the suspect would voluntarily surrender on-site?
Just as they took out the handcuffs, a voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"No, you donβt need to go to jail. Candace Ford didnβt drink the drugged tea."
Ian Jacobs stood up slowly from behind the bar, under the surprised gazes of everyone.
Everyone turned to look at him, including Lily.
"What did you say?"
That packet of drugs was personally placed by her, and she watched Candace Ford drink that cup of tea!
"I swapped your cup of tea." Ian Jacobs walked out with a cup of tea, placing it in front of the police, "Iβm the witness, proving Candace Ford didnβt drink the poisoned tea from Lily. Additionally, I have a recording that should serve as good evidence for you."
The police were dumbfounded, this case really was strange.
The suspect voluntarily surrendered, and even helped them collect evidence in advance?
Could there really be such a good thing in the world?
Lily was also stunned, looking again at Ian Jacobs in his servant uniform.
Ian explained casually, "I was sent by Mr. Wyatt to protect you."
Lily then looked at Finn Wyatt...
Finn Wyatt quickly clarified, "This was your sisterβs idea."
If it werenβt for Raineβs request, he wouldnβt have bothered getting involved in this mess...
"Sis... you knew all along?" Lilyβs eyes widened, and scorching tears flowed instantly.
Raine averted her gaze, not meeting her eyes.
Many things, also defy explanation.
At this moment, Finn Wyatt glanced at Ian Jacobs again, "Did you notify Jonas Hawthorne?"
"I notified him on the way here. Iβm not sure why he didnβt come?" Ian was puzzled too.
With his current partner and ex-wife in a dramatic confrontation, how could Jonas Hawthorne miss such a significant event?
