Capítulo 333: Chapter 325
Mrs. Carter’s hand trembled slightly as she tightly grasped Emily’s fingertip, her voice choked with emotion,
“Sister-in-law, it’s all my fault.”
Maria Carter’s eyes were red with regret, her voice filled with self-blame, “If I hadn’t hidden that divorce agreement back then…”
“Mom, Maria, I’m not aggrieved.”
Emily gently shook her head, a faint smile appeared at her lips, barely visible,
“You misunderstood, Carlos didn’t betray me.”
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a tranquil lake.
Mrs. Carter and Maria Carter froze simultaneously, looking up at Emily in disbelief.
“Sister-in-law, what did you say?”
Maria Carter’s voice trembled, “Even though brother is no longer here, this matter…” Follow current novels on novel·fire.net
“Rainny’s baby is not Carlos’s.”
Emily interrupted calmly, her fingers unconsciously touching the wedding ring on her ring finger, “That night, I happened to be outside the lounge.”
She recalled, as if transported back to that night,
Carlos’s coat got dirty, he changed clothes and left the lounge.
The one actually with Rainny was… another person.”
Mrs. Carter exhaled a long sigh of relief,
“I knew it! That paternity test result was fake!”
“No, the test result is real.”
Emily’s words left the two stunned again.
She sighed lightly, her lashes casting a shadow under her eyes,
“Before this, I didn’t know who was in the lounge that night either. Carlos went to check but didn’t say who it was.But after today…”
Her voice gradually fell.
Mrs. Carter suddenly drew a sharp breath, her fingers unconsciously gripping the edge of the couch.
“From a medical perspective… besides father and son, blood relatives’ genes can also…”
Maria Carter’s face turned instantly pale, she suddenly covered her mouth: “Could it be that Rainny’s baby is… is…”
Emily nodded slightly, a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes.
As night fell, the night wind shook the branches violently, casting claw-like shadows on the glass.
“Evan Palmer, that beast!”
Mrs. Carter collapsed onto the couch as if drained of all strength, strands of her carefully styled hair fell loose, tears rolled down silently.
Maria Carter gripped her mother’s trembling hand tightly, anger burned fiercely in the young girl’s eyes.
She looked out the window, where Evan Palmer’s car had just left Cloud Lake Villa, and Rainny, the woman who thought she had everything in control, was sitting in the car, caressing what she thought was her “ticket” to wealth and glory.
Mrs. Carter slowly straightened her back, took a tissue from Emily, and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.
The light fell on her slightly weary face but revealed eyes reignited with determination.
“I’ve asked the lawyer to draft the divorce agreement.”
Her voice regained its usual composure, though the end still carried a slight tremble, “Evan Palmer cheated multiple times during our marriage, I want everyone to see his true face.”
Maria Carter clenched her fists, her nails leaving deep crescent marks in her palms.
“He clearly knew the truth, yet deliberately used this matter to disgust Sister-in-law, just to seize the Carter Clan’s assets!”
The girl’s voice burned with anger, yet turned into heartache when she looked at her mother.
Emily gently shook her head.
“Evan Palmer and Rainny’s affair can’t be made public for now.”
She turned to face her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, the sunlight behind her casting a soft outline,
“Given Evan Palmer’s character, once he knows the leverage is in our hands, he’ll definitely destroy the evidence.Besides, after divorcing mom, the Willow Family is the most opposed to the birth of the child in Rainny’s belly…”
She didn’t finish, but all three understood the implied meaning.
Rainny may be hateful, but the unborn child in her womb is ultimately an innocent life.
“Emily’s right.” Mrs. Carter stood up, pressed the intercom, “Butler, have the lawyer come over.” Her voice regained the decisiveness of a businesswoman.
The Willow Family and Evan Palmer wronged her, she wouldn’t let them have peace.
The night grew darker outside, Mrs. Carter said hoarsely,
“The police have… found the incident site.”
The room became frighteningly quiet, even the sound of breathing was clearly audible.
Emily’s fingertips suddenly pressed into her palm, yet she felt no pain.
“In the helicopter wreckage…”
Mrs. Carter took a deep breath, her face looked exceptionally haggard under the light, “Three corpses were found.”
This sentence was like a blunt knife, slowly and cruelly stabbing into everyone’s heart.
Emily unconsciously touched her stomach, where a small life seemed to feel its mother’s sorrow, moving gently.
“Because of the explosion…”
Mrs. Carter’s voice grew increasingly low,
“The bodies were all… burned. The police are doing DNA comparisons…”
Maria Carter suddenly covered her mouth, suppressed sobs spilled through her fingers.
The girl’s thin shoulders shook violently, tears splashed onto the carpet.
Emily’s eyes reddened as well, but she just sat quietly, letting tears slide silently, the living room enveloped in a stifling silence.
“I’ll go to the police station tomorrow.”
Emily finally spoke, her voice light yet firm.
She looked at Mrs. Carter beside her, who seemed to have aged ten years in just a few days, shadows under her eyes were particularly noticeable in the light.
“Sister-in-law, I’ll go with you.”
Maria Carter suddenly raised her head, hastily wiped away her tears. The stubborn light flickered in the girl’s swollen eyes, holding Emily’s hand tightly.
Early in the morning, Emily and Maria Carter were already at the police station entrance.
Cedric Shaw had long been waiting in the hall, upon seeing them, he immediately approached,
“All relevant procedures are complete, just waiting for the DNA test results…”
His voice was deep, his eyes carried a hint of sympathy, “Condolences.”
Before his words faded, sudden sharp crying was heard outside the police station.
“My son didn’t commit murder! On what grounds are you arresting him?”
The hysterical female voice penetrated the glass doors, echoing inside the police station hall.
Emily frowned slightly, turning to see Amelia Willow supporting Grace Willow.
Evan Palmer walked ahead with a sullen face, followed by Charles Pond and a male lawyer carrying a briefcase.
Grace Willow was shouting at the blocking officer.
“What evidence do you have that my son committed murder?”
Grace Willow’s voice carried a sob, her finger almost poking the officer’s face, “Adam has been a good child since young, how could he…”
Her voice abruptly stopped, her gaze landing on Emily not far away.
At that moment, a resentful glint flashed in Grace Willow’s eyes, but it quickly returned to a victim’s posture.
“Doctor Parker…” she suddenly rushed forward, but was blocked by Maria Carter’s sidestep, “Please, show mercy, Adam didn’t commit murder, Carlos’s death has nothing to do with him.”
“Grace Willow,” Emily interrupted calmly, her voice carrying cold indifference, “The police are handling the case legally, it has nothing to do with me.”
