"I guess that's true." Hansen said coldly after listening to Norton challenging it multiple times.
"Moreover, when I first heard that it was the Pranica car that had killed Javon, I thought you were the one who killed him. After all, you hated Jenna and Javon very much at that time." Norton recalled hinting to Jenna that Hansen was involved in her father's death, in hopes that Jenna would leave Hansen and hate him after she learnt about the news. Who would've known that she didn't believe him at all, and never broke up with Hansen. Instead, they were even closer and in love. Now that he thought about it, Jenna really loved Hansen, and she trusted him out of love.
However, now it seemed that it was truly someone else who had killed Javon Murphy.
Hansen's bright eyes were filled with rage. It seemed that the two of them had been fooled by someone else.
It was evident that the mastermind behind all of this had taken the opportunity to kill Javon after they found out that Norton had bribed Brock to stop him from participating in the election. They wanted to take advantage of this chance to frame Norton, and even used the Richards Group's car. Although the original color and license number had been removed, it was just to conceal the truth. Once the manufacturer of the car was revealed, Norton of the Richards family would naturally be accused of all these crimes.
It was such an ingenious plan!
It was no wonder that Jenna had returned to the Richards Group to work after piecing together all the clues. It all showed that her father's death had something to do with the Richards family. She had to return to the Richards Group to take revenge.
However, to everyone's surprise, it was Jenna's return that made them realize their love for each other. That prompted him to decide on commencing the case's investigation to discover the real murderer.
As for the outcome of the investigation, Hansen believed that the truth would be brought to light after interrogating Earl McAdams.
"Alright. Let me ask you one last question. Who is the father of the baby in Aria's womb? What happened in the Hilton Hotel that night? Why did you drug me?" After hearing Brock's words, Hansen found out that it was Brock who had slept with Aria that night. The baby in Aria's womb was obviously incepted that very night. He had never touched her, so that night was riddled with suspicions. He asked him the last question to clear all of his doubts, knowing that Norton was certain about it.
Norton cast a glance at Hansen, and started to chuckle.
"That's hilarious. Are you sure you don't know the paternity of the baby in Aria's womb? Didn't you spend the night with her in the hotel after consuming the stimulant?" Norton asked in disdain. "Don't tell me you're trying to deny what you've done. If you don't want to marry Aria, just get her to get rid of the child."
He said lightly, and an indifferent smile reappeared on his face.
"Norton, you're despicable. You've spiked me, and now you're spouting nonsense? Why did you do such a vile thing?" Hansen was triggered by Norton's flippant attitude. His face turned red and he gritted his teeth.
"Ah, you can't blame me for this. Aria threatened me with the death of Javon, claiming that if I don't cooperate with her, she'd report me to the police. I had no choice but to do as she ordered, so that I wouldn't die. Besides, it was simply to coax you into sleeping with a woman, not to harm or to kill anyone. Many other men would've loved to take a stimulant as such," Norton said casually, without concern at all.
"So, what you're saying is, Aria was the one who forced you to drug me?" Hansen's face darkened.
"Of course. She wanted to be the Young Madam of the Richards family, but you wouldn't touch her. She had no choice but to use this scheme. Who would've known that she got pregnant with just one attempt." Norton smiled wickedly.
The light in Hansen's eyes were like numerous swords, piercing Norton's face. He asked resentfully, "Were you not aware that you had sent me to the wrong room that night? It was Brock who entered the room in the end, not me. I did not spend the night with her. Brock did. So, the baby in her womb isn't mine at all."
What? Norton was startled by Hansen's words, and his mouth was left agape.
What on earth had happened, that made Brock the one to sleep with her?
Was there really such a coincidence in the world?
