It was deep in the night.
The Blue Bay Villa was brightly lit. Almost all of the servants in the villa had been dismissed by Nellie and Lily. The only people left in the villa were Luna and the two children, Christian Moore, and Lily who was guarding the door.
"So..."
Sitting on the sofa, Luna found it hard to believe her eyes and ears. "Fiona has evidence of you murdering a girl whom you killed by accident years ago?"
Christian sighed and nodded dispiritedly. “Yes. Back then, Fiona and I were a couple whom everyone in school envied, we used to be happy. The dead girl, Violet Lewis, was Fiona’s roommate. She was from a happy family, her father was a businessman and her mother was a dancer. That's why she looked down on Fiona for being born an orphan and raised in the countryside." 1
As he spoke, he unconsciously covered his face with his hand to hide his expression. "I did not kill Violet o n purpose. That day Fiona said she was bullied by Violet, that Violet forced her to drink the dirty mush that she used to wash her feet, so I got mad. Then, Fiona and I asked to meet Violet on our school's rooftop. I pushed Violet around to avenge Fiona, while Fiona recorded us and the mess Violet was in so we
could use it to threaten her to stop cursing at Fiona..."
Luna pursed her lips. "So Fiona recorded the moment when you accidentally pushed Violet off the roof?"
Christian nodded harshly.
"After Violet fell from the roof she was sent to the hospital, but they couldn’t save her. Fiona made me team up with her and say that Violet was careless and fell off the roof herself. Plus, there were no CCTV cameras on the roof, so after detaining us for a week, the police released us because of a lack of evidence to prove murder. My mother was furious about this and forced me to break up with Fiona.
"I didn't see her again after that. The next time I met her, she was already my uncle’s girlfriend."
Luna closed her eyes. She never expected...that this was the reason why Christian helped Fiona.
"I saw that video of hers. The angle looked very weird, instead of pushing her down by accident, it looked more like I pushed her intentionally while she stood a t the edge of the roof ready to commit suicide."
