Chapter 314
Emelia trembled in Julian's arms.
Although she suffered in her adoptive mother's death and was plotted against several times, she had never experienced the terror of murder.
She was so frightened.
Fortunately, Julian's hug and steady heartbeat calmed her down gradually.
"Why did Rosalind do that? She can't be so vulnerable that she would kill herself because of being blamed for drugging others." Emelia was confused. Rosalind had experienced a lot of things and she seemed like a tough woman.
Julian showed a stern look. "It must be Eric. He had done something. Don't forget that he picked up Rosalind and brought her home."
"He is the murderer." Julian judged without any hesitation.
He was determined that Rosalind was forced to death by Eric, although he had no adequate evidence. The police autopsy report would tell the truth.
Hearing the word "murderer", Emelia snuggled more in Julian's arms.
He gently stroked her slim back and said, "Don't sleep in the nap bed tonight. Sleep with me."
He did not want to sleep separately from Emelia, and he was afraid that she would be scared after what had happened.
Emelia was indeed terrified, so she did not refuse. She nestled in his arms as soon as she got into bed, which made Julian feel bittersweet.
Yvonne fainted on the spot when she heard the news that Rosalind had jumped into the sea.
Although she had poorly argued with her, she had never thought that Rosalind would die.
After all, she was her mother, and it was fake that she was not grieving.
After she woke up, Yvonne, accompanied by the police and Eric, went to see Rosalind for the last time.
After the white cloth covering Rosalind's body was lifted, Yvonne immediately fell to her knees and cried aloud. "Mum!"
She could never have imagined that one day her family would be ruined.
Now that she was in prison with her father and her mother had died, what was it if not a broken home?
Eric dragged her up to his arms, and his tone was sullen as he comforted her, "I'm sorry for her. She will rest in peace."
The staff then pushed Rosalind away. Yvonne cried so hard that she almost fainted.
Eric stayed by her side, holding her firmly.
Yvonne slowly calmed down, asking with tearful eyes, "Why did she do this? Even if she tricked me, why would she give up her life
“Reputation plays a vital role in her life, and if the truth that she had drugged you is exposed, she'd be ashamed, right?" Eric had been brainwashing Yvonne up to now.
Now that Rosalind was dead, Yvonne couldn't ask anything from her.
As Arthur and the others had analyzed, Yvonne completely trusted in Eric, never suspecting that he would scheme her, let alone that he forced Rosalind to die.
“Don't overthink. I will make you suffer less." Eric comforted Yvonne with blandishments, "Since you were framed, you will receive a lighter punishment."
Yvonne cried, "Eric, you're the only one I can trust now. Help me, please."
“If the sentence can be suspended, that would be great." Probation was usually not enforced afterwards, as long as one behaved well during the probation period.
Caroline's sentence was suspended last time. Yvonne believed that she would do the same if Eric did something about it.
Eric couldn't resist sneering at Yvonne's words. Reduce her sentence? A suspended sentence?
She was so naive. He wouldn't let her out since she was in the police station.
Besides, he had even gotten Rosalind killed. How could he save Yvonne?
He feigned promised, “I'll do my best."
The policeman who had accompanied Yvonne in came to take her away. Yvonne struggled and whined, "You must be quick. Eric's reluctant look faded after the police car drove away and was replaced by coldness.
He looked up at the blue sky, thinking of the dead Rosalind and the imprisoned Yvonne and Randolph, and a smile played over his lips.
The bad guys had been punished one by one, so he was certainly satisfied.
Randolph, who was in prison, was shocked by the news that Rosalind had jumped into the sea, so much so that he collapsed in his chair on the spot due to his high blood pressure, breathing heavily.
He knew that Eric had come back to stay with Yvonne, which Rosalind had mentioned when she visited him in prison.
He thought that Eric was reliable, and could at least protect Rosalind and Yvonne, so he didn't judge.
He never thought that his wife jumped into the sea and his daughter was imprisoned after Eric came back these few days. Randolph, who had experienced much in the business world, carefully asked his lawyer what had happened to Rosalind and Yvonne and immediately sensed something was wrong.
Many things that seemingly happened by chance, were actually manipulated by a hand in the shadow.
That hand was Eric.
Thinking of this, Randolph urged his lawyer to get Eric here. Still, the lawyer said he would try, but he did not know if Eric would come to see him
Unexpectedly, Eric came the next day, looking calm and composed.
He sat down outside the window, picked up the intercom, and respectfully asked Randolph, “How are you, sir?"
Randolph did not respond but stared at his face with sharp eyes.
Eric was not nervous, thinking that Randolph would not be able to see through because he had long since changed his face. He was no longer the same person since he deliberately befriended Yvonne abroad.
Randolph and Rosalind had seen him before, but they didn't find anything. Naturally, neither would they now.
Randolph sized him up several times, not finding anything wrong. He gritted his teeth and questioned, "Who the hell are you? What do you want to do?"
Eric smiled helplessly, "I'm Eric. I heard about your accident, so I shamelessly rushed back to protect Vonnie. What else can I do"
Randolph suspected, shaking his head and shouting angrily, "No, you're not. You're trying to ruin our family!"
