Everyone knew that people would soon suffer from leukemia if they stayed in a house where formaldehyde was abnormally concentrated.
I knew what was going on after I heard the police out. As expected, Caroline surely wouldn't let go of the opportunity this time in vain.
Initially, I was not afraid.
However, the police later questioned me over and over again. During this period, I knew that everyone's feedback to the police was that I was the one who got the most optimal timing to commit such a crime.
Because among all the people engaged in the project, I was the first one to arrive at the studio and the last one to leave.
And I was also the one who was the most likely to be motivated to do so.
Although I was Mrs. Cowell, Patrick loved Caroline very much instead.
Moreover, I had gone to jail last time because I had pushed Caroline to the foot of the
mountain. If Caroline hadn't been found in time, she might have been dead.
After several rounds of interrogation, I found this feeling of being unable to defend myself familiar.
And it scared me!
Later, the police found a worker who was in charge of putting formaldehyde with high concentration into the wallpapers.
I sat in the detention center and watched the worker pointing to me, saying that it was I who had asked him to do this.
Then he said with tears that he came from the countryside and had three children, two of whom were twins freshly delivered by his wife. Besides, his wife got sick as soon as she gave birth to the babies. And his parents were seriously ill. So he promised me because he was possessed for a moment.
After hearing that, the policeman glanced at me.
He looked at me was as if he were looking at a heinous sinner.
No. If I did have done this, I would indeed be a heinous sinner.
I saw the worker kneeling on the ground and begging the police to let him go, saying that he was the breadwinner of his family. If he went to jail, his family would be doomed.
"I didn't!" Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore. So I stood up and said excitedly, "I didn't let you do such a thing at all!"
It was not that I was cruel. Instead, it was that I didn't want to be wronged again.
I didn't want to be imprisoned again!
