Evelyn Clayton watched clearly, then lowered her eyes, took a sip of coffee, and remained silent.
Summer Monroe nervously tightened her grip, maintaining her composure on the surface, and slowly said, "What, do you suspect me?"
"I’m not suspecting you." Evelyn Clayton put down her cup and coldly looked at Summer Monroe, "Before I even saw you, I had already decided in my heart that it was you who did this."
Summer Monroe slightly gritted her teeth, "So, you came to confront me?"
Evelyn examined Summer for a moment, then after a long time, chuckled lightly, "Confronting you is not necessary, especially seeing you , it seems you truly don’t know that the person who died in the news today was Julia Lawrence. I wonder if you’ve been acting for so long that your skills are just that good, or if you truly don’t know anything?"
"Stop slandering me!" Summer’s defense line was already very weak, "I have never had direct contact with Julia Lawrence, why would I cause her death?"
Those words made Evelyn’s eyes shift slightly, flashing with some cunning, "Oh? So that means you’ve had indirect contact with her, is that right?"
At this point, Summer felt there was nothing more to hide.
She sneered as she looked at Evelyn, "We’ve talked this far, there’s no need to dance around the issue any longer."
Evelyn scoffed lightly: "Refreshing. Now I only have one question for you, where is Soren Foster?"
Summer’s expression immediately became wary: "Why are you asking this?"
"What do you think?" Evelyn’s expression was mocking, "Why, didn’t you see what I sent you back then?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel~fire~net
Summer slightly gritted her teeth, "This matter may not be his doing, without my orders, he wouldn’t dare do such a thing!"
Evelyn raised an eyebrow and laughed disdainfully: "So that means as long as it’s your order, he’d dare to do anything, right? Summer, you better think carefully, this matter can’t just be let go—if Julia truly committed suicide, as long as I find out the reason, everything will be fine, but if Julia was murdered, then I will only be looking for the killer."
Feeling pressured by Evelyn’s every step, Summer couldn’t bear it any longer and gritted her teeth, "Julia already betrayed you! Why do you still care so much about her?"
"Are you truly ignorant or just pretending? Julia died in the building where Gem is located, she was an employee of Gem." Evelyn’s face was cold, "Otherwise, do you think I’m just idle and bored, which is why I suspect you?"
Summer seemed very aggrieved, took a few deep breaths, and diverted her gaze, "Soren left the province a couple of days ago, I don’t know where he is!"
"Alright then." Evelyn stood up without any expression, "Then I’ll go find him myself, that video happens to be evidence, I’m not worried about someone trying to blame Gem in the future."
Saying this, Evelyn made a motion to turn and leave.
Summer’s voice tightened as she called out to her, "Evelyn Clayton!"
Evelyn stopped but didn’t turn around nor respond.
Only hearing Summer grit her teeth and say, "Do you really want to push this to the end?"
After a while, Evelyn turned around, staring at Summer with a fake smile, "If I really wanted to push this to the end, the moment things happened, I would have handed that surveillance tape to the police as evidence, you would likely already have been summoned for questioning by now. Summer, the reason I didn’t do it was that there’s still a bit of hesitation in my heart—"
Pausing, Evelyn sneered, "I’m not afraid to let you know, I do have some reservations about your capabilities, so when the incident with Lucy Carter happened, I didn’t completely destroy you—but if you keep pushing me over and over again, I’ll make sure you understand what it truly means to push something to the end."
