Both the look in Jim's eyes and the tone of his voice made Heather feel as though she was about to be eaten alive.
Even though she had deliberately avoided his gaze, she could still feel the hatred and coldness of his stare. She could not help shuddering as she replied," What-What nonsense are you talking about? How could I...how could I have...
"Isn't the evidence of Joshua killing Mother as clear as day? Don't try to frame me so that your cousin can go scot-free!"
Jim snickered and said, "Well, I hope that's the case. Otherwise, I can't even imagine the consequences."
With that, he let go of her and strode away.
Heather propped herself against the wall and stared intently at Jim's retreating figure.
It was only after he had entered the elevator that Heather let out a sigh of relief and slid down onto the floor feebly.
Her heart thumped in her chest.
Even though she had devised plans of killing other people with Aura in the past, whether it was Luna six years ago or Granny Lynch not long ago...
She had never carried the plans out by herself.
This time, because Malcolm had suffered gunshot injuries in both his legs, she had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.
Whenever Heather recalled the shocked, terrified look on Rosalyn's face when she plunged the knife into her chest, Heather would get so nervous that her palms would start to sweat.
From Jim's behavior just moments ago, she had thought he had somehow managed to obtain evidence of her crime.
Heather narrowed her eyes.
This could not continue.
She could not possibly rely on only Charles, the man who treated her as his daughter. She needed to find someone else to rely on.
Someone...who could protect her from all harm!
After coming out of the hospital, Jim headed straight t o the police station.
Truth be told, he did not believe that Joshua could have killed Rosalyn, not because he trusted Joshua entirely due to their shared bloodline, but because...
He did not think that someone as intelligent as Joshua would commit such a stupid crime.
If he wanted to kill Rosalyn, he could have used other methods that would not expose him, so why did he choose to kill her when Rosalyn requested to meet with him?
