No…
She had checked various videos and recalled the scene at that time, but she couldn’t find him again.
She clearly saw him together with Jake Leaford, but neither at the scene nor in the videos did she see that man again.
That man seemed like a delusion that had come into her mind, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
She lay in bed, unable to sleep all night.
In the early hours of the morning, the lights were brightly lit in the Leaford family’s living room.
Mrs. Leaford paced back and forth in the living room, anxious and flustered.
The old man was sitting on the sofa, his face ashen, and had broken several cups in a row.
“What a good son you’ve raised!”
He went to bed early last night, but in the middle of the night, he received a phone call from the police station, saying Jake Leaford had hired thirty male prostitutes and was caught red-handed by the vice squad.
“It’s bad enough that he plays with women, but now he’s playing with men and even hired thirty at once!” Upon receiving this news, the old man was so angry that he almost died on the spot.
Not only did he get a call from the police station, but some of his old friends also called him to express their concern and condolences, making him lose all face.
The old man looked at his wife with an ashen face: “Did the Sawyer family say anything?”
Although this marriage was a business alliance, Olivia Sawyer was deeply cherished by her grandmother. When news of the engagement broke out, the Sawyer family was likely not going to let it go.
Mrs. Leaford’s face was filled with bitterness: “Grandmother Sawyer sent me a message last night, saying they’ve canceled the engagement and their family can’t accept such a grandson-in-law.”
The atmosphere became gloomy.
Trouble had come, as the old man was filled with rage.
Even an old lady like Grandmother Sawyer knew about the news, and that was when it was suppressed from trending.
“Yesterday, there was a controversial news story trending, and although we paid to replace it with that story, the news about Jake still got out.” Jake’s mother was also furious, remembering how her son used to be entangled with Elizabeth Aitken, and now he was playing with men as well as women?
Playing with men, it would be better if he were with Elizabeth Aitken instead.
Thinking of Elizabeth Aitken, Mrs. Leaford had an idea: “I have a solution.”
“The most important thing now is Jake’s reputation. He is the heir to the company, and his reputation must not be ruined. As long as there is a woman who is willing to speak on his behalf, there is a chance to turn things around.”
The old man narrowed his eyes and scolded coldly: “With the kind of scandalous things he’s done, which woman would be willing to speak for him now?”
Thinking about the ruined marriage with Olivia Sawyer, the old man trembled with rage: “Even the woman who got engaged to him despises him, which woman would be willing to help him?”
“Brother Kai, Olivia Sawyer’s own reputation isn’t good, either. She has no right to despise our Jake.” Just thinking about this made her angry. She called Olivia Sawyer, who told her that she had no say in the matter and that the marriage was up to her grandmother.
It’s a different era, and clearly, it was Olivia’s own idea to call off the engagement.
Her son did do something wrong, but Olivia’s reputation wasn’t good either. The fact that she publicly despised him was a slap in the face for Mrs. Leaford. After all, she had chosen Olivia herself, not realizing she would be so useless.
Thinking of Elizabeth Aitken, Mrs. Leaford’s eyes lit up: “Do you remember the time I arranged for Jake to go abroad a few years ago? He was in love with a girl at the time, and I didn’t like her because of her poor family background, so I sent Jake abroad, and recently they got back together.”
“You mean…”
“As long as this girl is willing to testify for him, we can cover up this matter.”
Mrs. Leaford’s plan was sound.
Hearing this, the old man fell silent.
“Let it be for now, you go contact her, if it doesn’t work, then let them get married.”
This son was a disappointment, and he could only pin his hopes on his grandson now.
It had been snowing a lot lately, but the weather today was exceptionally good.
The warm sunlight shone on her, driving away the coldness from Molly Walker’s body.
Elizabeth Aitken stood next to her, looking at the things in her arms, and walked in with her.
Elizabeth Aitken had come to report the case together with her.
When the evidence was piled up in front of the police, they were all dumbfounded.
“The physical evidence is all here, and the witness will be here soon.”
This time, she did not hide her identity as Ivy Thompson, and there were media outlets squatting here, originally to squat for Jake Leaford, but they ended up squatting for bigger gossip.
The adopted daughter of the Thompson family went to the police station to report a case, accusing Isabelle Richardson of killing her grandmother.
This news spread through the streets in an instant.
Soon, Isabelle Richardson was taken to the police station for interrogation.
This time, no one was there to help her.
Then, Jake Smith arrived and unleashed everything.
The news alarmed major media outlets, even neglecting the fact that Jake Leaford had come out of the police station.
Seeing Jake Leaford walking out, Elizabeth Aitken immediately walked in front of him and said coldly, “Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Her flash marriage to him was a joke, and that certificate was a symbol of humiliation.
After only one night in the police station, Jake Leaford had become haggard, and looking at Elizabeth, he didn’t get angry but laughed. “It was you who called the police last night, right?”
It was such a coincidence; the police had come right after she left.
Elizabeth took it calmly and admitted. “Yes, it was me.”
Jake Leaford’s breath stalled.
“Do you know how much this will affect me?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.” Elizabeth’s heart tightened slightly, her fingers pinching into her palm, “I don’t care about your affairs. I only care about when I can get rid of the marital bond with you so that we don’t become a burden to each other.”
“Burden…” Jake Leaford lowered his head and sneered. The burden must be him.
“Let’s go and get the divorce certificate now.”
He took the lead to walk out, Elizabeth’s nose was severely congested, but she quickly followed.
In the large office in the police station, Molly Walker and the entire Thompson family were sitting.
Not only did Molly want to accuse Isabelle Richardson, but the Thompson family also wanted to charge Isabelle Richardson.
She not only killed Molly’s grandmother, but also hired someone to kill Joshua Thompson, and finally smashed Amanda Leaford herself.
“I didn’t beat anyone at all, don’t listen to Gillian Thompson’s nonsense. She just wants to take revenge and slander me.” Isabelle’s face was as gray as death, but she didn’t forget to struggle a bit.
“Did anyone else see this assault?” The police asked while taking notes.
Molly frowned and said nothing. The most important witness was actually Bailey Gallagher.
But ever since Michael Gallagher died, let alone Bailey, she hadn’t even seen anyone from the Gallagher family. The Gallagher family didn’t like her, and she didn’t dare to meet them because of her guilt.
“We always focus on evidence when handling cases. The more evidence collected, the more advantageous it is for you.”
The police calmly explained, Molly knew, the police were telling her that there might still be a little gap if she wanted to be convicted to death.
At this moment, a young police officer walked in from outside and said, “Chief, there is a child named Bailey Gallagher outside who wants to come in.”
Bailey Gallagher?
Molly was stunned.
Isabelle Richardson immediately stood up. “Bailey! How did he come?”
Seeing her surprised and excited expression, Molly gave a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
Isabelle didn’t know that Bailey had also witnessed her crime.
Upon hearing that Bailey had arrived, Isabelle’s heart surged with emotions.
Indeed, the son she had carried for ten months was the one who cared for her the most.
