Another surveillance footage showed that the waiter almost dropped the tray because of the instability of the wine glasses, so the waiter moved the position of the wine glass. However, Jade was unaware of this.
The autopsy results came out overnight.
Jade was found to be poisoned by potassium cyanide.
The ingredients were the same as the small bottle that Jade was carrying.
Jade intentionally wanted to kill someone, but she accidentally killed herself.
She would never understand which part of her scheme went wrong and why she ended up dead.
The police checked the surveillance footage and found that the small bottle was initially dropped by Selena’s aunt.
They followed the lead and arrested her.
The aunt confessed everything without omission and told the police that she was threatened, so she had to go to the event.
However, the aunt did not want to harm anyone, so she took the opportunity of her fall to throw away the bottle of medicine.
Unexpectedly, Jade did not give up and did it by herself.
The police frowned slightly.
“Is there any proof?”
“Yes, I have proof.”
The aunt called Jennifer over. “Tell the truth to the police. Don’t be afraid!”
Jennifer nodded and took out her mobile phone.
She played the recorded conversation she had with Jade in the car.
“Jade threatened me with my parent’s lives. I spent a lot of money to buy that ticket to the event. We are Mrs. Ferguson’s relatives. Although we don’t have much contact with each other, we don’t want to kill her…”
Jennifer was crying hysterically. She looked so pitiful.
“Officer, I have said everything I could, and I have nothing to hide.”
The police heard other things from the recorded conversation.
“Have you ever hurt Mrs. Ferguson before?”
“Hmph! Didn’t you almost kill Selena yourself? How did you forget so quickly?”
Those were Jade’s words.
The audio had not been edited to avoid suspicion.
Jennifer took a deep breath, lowered her head, and admitted her mistake.
“Jade forced me to do that, but I have already admitted my mistake to Selena. She has also forgiven me.”
The police officer paused and nodded. “We will double-check this with Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson.”
All the evidence pointed at the deceased Jade.
Moreover, they also found an overseas transaction in Jade’s account.
It was probably the cost of buying this bottle of potassium cyanide from a chemical laboratory abroad.
From Jade’s chat records, they saw that Jade had asked what was the fatal dosage for human consumption.
This further proved the fact that Jade bought this medicine to kill.
That night, Eric took Selena home.
When they arrived home, neither of them got out of the car.
Eric looked at her quietly.
“Are you scared?”
Selena pursed her lips and nodded. “This is the first time I saw someone die in front of my eyes. Even though I’ve prepared myself mentally, I still feel so uncomfortable and nauseous.”
Eric stroked her hair and said softly, “It’s all over now, Selena. No one will bother us in the future.”
Selena nodded with sore eyes.
“It’s her own fault. I have nothing to fear. But it’s just so tragic and dangerous. Eric, don’t take any more risks in the future, okay?”
Eric lowered his eyes and nodded.
“Okay.”
He used this method to end all this.
If they had gone through the normal channels, all Jade did was instigate crimes. Jade would be released from prison after a few years, and she would still be ruthless.
This way, Eric was eliminating any future troubles.
He had no regrets.
It was Jade’s own doing.
From the very beginning, Jade was the one who instigated Noah to find trouble with Selena. She was also the one who made full preparations for Noah.
All of this was because Jade wanted to leave Noah.
Jade had a boy toy who she loved and naively wanted to use Noah’s money to live with that guy.
