Edward allowed Betty to hit him, but he didn't push Betty away.
Betty screamed sadly, "Edward, how can you treat me like this? How can you do that? You said you would love me. Have you forgotten that I am your lifesaver? How can you be so ungrateful? Why?"
"Enough."
Edward's face darkened and he looked at Betty coldly.
"Don't make trouble out of nothing, Betty."
"Edward, you love Ashley, but she colluded with William and ruined your company. It's all her fault that you're in prison. I'm the only one who can save you. As long as you promise me to break up with Ashley and let her have an abortion, I can forget the past. Let's leave here, okay?"
Betty held Edward's hand and pleaded.
Edward didn't say anything, but his handsome looked cold.
I looked at the expression on Edward's face nervously, and I had a strange feeling in my heart.
What kind of choice would Edward make? Would he agree?
"I'm sorry." After a long time, when I was very nervous, Edward apologized to Betty with deep eyes. "Edward, Ashley killed your mother. Your mother was killed by Ashley. Do you still want to be with her?"
"Betty, what nonsense are you talking about?"
I couldn't listen anymore. I didn't expect that Betty still wanted to smear me.
It seemed that Letitia's death was not as simple as I thought. Maybe it was Betty who asked someone to kill her.
"What did you say just now?" With a dark face, Edward grabbed Betty's hand and said to her in a low voice.
I looked at Edward and worried that he would misunderstand me. When I was about to explain, Betty showed me a malicious sneer.
"Edward, you don't know yet, do you? Ashley killed your mother. Everyone in Beijing knows that she is a murderer. Not only like this, but she should have been caught. But William saved her out of the police station. She still has contact with William. They must have a plot. Edward, don't believe her. She hates us so much. Don't be tricked by Ashley."
"Edward, Betty is talking nonsense. Listen to me..."
"Ashley, my mother died, didn't she?" I looked at Betty's twisted face and worried that Edward would be affected by her, so I couldn't help explaining to him.
However, before I could finish my words, Edward let go of Betty and walked straight to me.
He became much more thinner in the past few days. His original handsome face became cold at this moment.
He stared at me with his cold and deep eyes.
Being stared at by Edward like this, I could not help but feel sad.
"Yes, your mother... died in order to save me." I said these words with difficulty. While Betty desired to stir up trouble and sneered at me.
"Ashley, you are lying. It was you who killed Letitia. You hated her because she used to treat you badly. What's more, you harmed Edward and the whole Xis. Letitia often made trouble for you. You were so angry, so you caught Letitia and killed her."
"You shut up." I yelled at Betty with a cold face.
"You..." Betty didn't expect that I would roar at her like this. Her beautiful face twisted and she stared at me with some anger.
"Paul, take this crazy woman out." With Betty here, I couldn't talk to Edward.
I looked at Betty impatiently who was glaring at me with anger, and ordered Paul who was at the door.
Without saying anything, Paul grabbed Betty's arm and pulled her to the door without any pity.
Betty shouted at me with an extremely annoyed and angry voice, "Ashley, d*mn you, what do you want to do? Let me go."
"No matter how loud your voice is, it's useless." I sneered and looked at Betty's aggrieved look ironically.
I didn't have time to deal with Betty. After I deal with William, I would give her a lesson. "Ashley, how did my mother die?" Without Betty, the whole cell became unusually quiet.
Edward squinted his eyes, stared at my eyes and said.
I raised my head, took a deep breath and said slowly, "If I say that your mother's death has nothing to do with me, will you believe me?"
Even if many people thought that it was me who killed Letitia, however, I wanted to know the thoughts of Edward. Did he also think that it was me who killed Letitia?
After staring at me coldly for a long time, Edward said in a deep voice, "I believe you."
"Your mother was taken to the warehouse on the back hill of Ziming Road. I received a phone call from her. She said that she wanted me to save her. When I went there, she was injured. When I wanted to take her out, the door of the warehouse was closed, and then someone set fire to burn us to death. I let your mother get out through the transom then save me. After your mother saved me, we left the warehouse. At this time, several men appeared and stabbed her in the abdomen with a knife. Your mother died. I fell down in a faint because my child was affected. When I woke up, they said that it was me who killed your mother, and the policeman said that the bloody knife was in my hand."
I told Edward what happened briefly.
Edward was so smart, and I believed that he could find some clues.
There seemed to be evidence about the murder, but when you thought about it carefully, you would find many clues.
Why should I kill Letitia? Since I had killed her, why didn't I escape? There was no one there, why would I lie there and wait for the police to catch me?
"Edward." Edward didn't say anything for a long time. He just looked at me quietly.
Being stared at by him, I was a little nervous. I couldn't help but call his name.
Edward didn't believe me?
