Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 496

Upon hearing that, Lila suddenly clamped her hand over her mouth.

Just now, she was so busy defending herself that she had unwittingly spilled the beans.

"I... I..." Lila was at a loss for words. "I just forgot to mention it to her coach. Besides, why are you all looking at me? Even her coach didn't notice it!"

No one believed a word she said.

"You saw that her parachute was tampered with and kept that information to yourself. That's a crime in itself." Ethan's gaze was so piercing that it bored into Lila's skull. "Since you can't give us a reasonable explanation, we'll conclude that you deliberately kept it to yourself."

Her reaction had given her away.

Ethan had seen through her at a glance. "Even if you didn't do it yourself, you're partly to be blamed. You knew the parachute wouldn't work, and yet you said nothing. It's clear to us that you wanted Janet dead!"

Faced with Ethan's aggressive questioning, Lila didn't know what to say.

Indeed, she saw that one of the strings had been cut and retied, but she didn't warn Janet.

"No, I didn't... That's not..." Lila was at a complete loss and burst into tears. She shouted, "I didn't do it! I wasn't the one who wanted her dead! You can't put the whole thing on me!"

Her whole body was trembling. She had never been considered a suspect before, let alone a murderer.

Ethan rolled his eyes at her quibbling.

"You were sneaking around the equipment. Even if you really didn't cut the string, you probably did something to conceal it, which was why Janet's coach didn't notice that anything was wrong when he inspected it." Ethan had figured it all out.

"You... You don't have any proof!" Lila glared at him angrily. She hated how smart Janet's husband was!

He had put the pieces together so soon.

Ethan indeed didn't have any solid proof, so he couldn't do anything to Lila in the meantime.
