Scapegoat
"It's okay. You can ask her anything you want." Finn waved his hand and then closed his eyes to refresh himself.
Sydney thanked him. Then she patted Luke, who was standing behind her, "Push me closer to her."
Luke obliged and pushed her closer to Jane.
Sydney reached out and touched Jane's face and then whispered in her ear, her voice like a demon's moan, "Jane, tell me! Who is the most important person to you?"
"My son." Jane answered slowly.
Sydney narrowed her eyes. "Your son? So you attacked Sydney for your son?" "I didn't attack Sydney," Jane said.
Sydney's eyes widened in surprise, "You didn't?"
Luke and Finn were also surprised.
At the police station, Jane had admitted that she had attacked Sydney, but why was she denying it now?
One could not tell a lie while she was under hypnosis.
So Jane had been lying at the police station.
"I didn't attack Sydney. It wasn't me. It was another woman." Jane said.
Sydney clenched her hand, "Who is she? Then why did you admit at the police station that you attacked Sydney?" "I don't know who she is. She didn't tell me her name. I only know what she looks like. She found me and told me that the red mole on Sydney's wrist was a threat to her identity, so she paid me to cut it off. So I could have money for my son’s medical treatment. And I'm going to take the allegation for her." Jane's words startled everyone.
Luke sucked in a long breath of air, "My God, she's actually a scapegoat!"
Sydney was so enraged that her whole body was shaking.
The woman who really wanted to get her had made Jane a scapegoat, and the woman was still at large.
Would the woman behind it go after Sydney again?
"Why do you say that my mole threatens her identity? What is the secret of my mole?
" Sydney asked, clenching her lower lip.
Jane replied, "I don't know. She didn't tell me. She only told me that it threatened her identity.”
"No wonder she didn't answer the question at the police station, because she had no idea. " Luke rubbed his chin in confusion.
Sydney took a deep breath and asked again, "Then why did you tell the police that the woman who asked you to take the charge was the most important person to you?"
"Because I wanted to protect my son. I didn't want the police to know I had a son. I said that to make you guys think I was
attacking Sydney for that woman's sake. I was misleading you all." Jane replied.
Luke sneered, "You're pretty smart."
"What happened to your son?" Sydney
asked again.
"My son has leukemia, so I need a lot of money for his treatment. The woman found me and told me she'd pay for my son's treatment if I took the allegation for her."
"So that's the true story." Luke sighed, "In order to get the money for her son’s treatment, she couldn't give the woman away. She has to insist that she attacked you. Otherwise, once she reveals that she’s just taking the allegation for that woman, she couldn't save her son, whether that woman gets caught by the police or not."
Sydney's eyes twinkled, "She's pathetic, but that doesn’t mean she's not to blame."
"No." Luke nodded.
Sydney turned to Jane again, though she couldn’t see. "Since you said you don't
