Chapter 1400
Albert assumed that Hylda had turned him in for the accident seven years ago. ‘It had to be her! Since she had shown no mercy, I wouldn’t hesitate to fight back either.
After all, I didn’t do a thing that would lead to the car crash back then. Even if I were convicted of the crime, I’d be considered an accomplice at most with a good lawyer.’
Albert’s mind raced with various thoughts. Finally, the door to the interrogation room swung open. The police began the process of collecting his personal information.
Albert was visibly on edge. Without waiting for the officer to speak, he blurted out, “Has Hylda been apprehended, sir? Did she rat me out? What did she tell you? Did she pin all the blame on me?”
The police officer paused and looked at him while saying.” Sorry, we can’t disclose that information.”
Hearing this, Albert immediately confirmed his suspicions.” She’s trying to frame me and use me as a scapegoat! You have to investigate this case thoroughly, officer!”
He exclaimed.
The police maintained a composed demeanor and said, “We won’t convict the innocent, nor will we let the guilty escape. As long as you cooperate with us, we’ll conduct a thorough investigation and clear your name.”
As long as Albert and Hylda kept their mouths shut, it would be hard to convict them since the case lacked evidence. However, Albert was overly selfish. He knew Hylda was doomed, yet he was not thinking about comforting her or finding a way to protect her. Instead, he thought, ‘What’s one more charge when she’s already facing the death penalty? I can live the rest of my life in peace as long as I shift the blame onto Hylda.’
Thus, Albert told the truth about Rainee’s accident. In his version of events, he was a good man devoted to his family. However, he slipped up one day and got involved with
Hylda. From then on, she clung to him. He could not resist the temptation and gradually entered an affair with Hylda. However, she was insatiable.
Knowing Albert wanted a son, she got pregnant with someone else and claimed it was his. She demanded a place in his life. Albert loved his wife and did not want a divorce. But Hylda’s jealousy knew no bounds. She tampered with Rainee’s car, causing her to have an accident. He learned about the situation much later, but it was too late. Albert stated that he did not report Hylda to the authorities because he did not want the child to lose his mother.
“The biggest regret of my life is trusting her. If I had known she was this ruthless, I would have cut ties with her no matter what. Please understand, sir. I am only guilty of covering up her crimes. I implore you to catch her and give my wife the justice she deserves!” Albert cried.
The two police officers in the room exchanged glances, signaling to each other that they knew Albert was faking it.
Someone else had reported the incident, not Hylda. They were just there to take his statement as part of the routine procedure. Albert, however, took the opportunity to confess to the incident.
The officers knew that what he said was not the truth, but one thing was certain-that accident was not just an accident.
They initially thought that Walter’s death was a straight murder case. They did not expect it to lead to a car crash that occurred seven years ago.
Albert was temporarily detained, and the police quickly contacted Stella. She was the survivor of the accident and the daughter of the deceased. They assumed that she was bound to know something.
Stella was exceptionally thrilled when she received the call. The case from seven years ago could finally be reopened. She hurriedly headed down to the police station without even changing.
