The Contract Marriage

Chapter 349 Until She Admits It

Ruby knew he was in a bad mood, so she went upstairs not long after. She closed the door of the room and sat down by the bed. She saw Julian staring at the ceiling in a daze and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Julian did not turn his head. He just looked at the ceiling. "I'm thinking about my mom. . . Ruby. Why I am so bad? If I had not been seduced by her, she would not have entered the Cooper Family. So many things wouldn't have happened in the family! Maybe everything in the family would be fine now! I'm so stupid! It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

Julian remembered his mother and his eyes turned wet as he spoke. He couldn't help but feel regret and self-blame in his heart. No matter how others tried to comfort him, he couldn't forgive himself!

Everything was because he had brought Vivian into this house!

He caused this originally peaceful house to be filled with a foul atmosphere. His father escaped death, but his mother died. The two children's identities were exchanged, and Sarah almost lost her live because of the car accident!

Vivian was involved in everything!

Although she had gotten her retribution, his mother could not come back anymore!

Such an outcome made it hard for him to forgive himself!

"This is not your fault! You also did not know what kind of person she was back then. Besides, you can never know a person’s heart by seeing his face. Who could guarantee that the people we knew were all

good people? In the past, even I didn't know that she would be this bad. Sigh. . ." Ruby sighed and shook her head. She patted Julian's arm to comfort him.

"I will go to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow. This matter must be investigated clearly and my mother must get justice! Otherwise, her soul in heaven will definitely not be peaceful!"

"I will go with you."

"Alright."

It was still the same night.

After Sarah coaxed the two children to sleep, she went to bed and laid beside Christian. Christian reached out and pulled her into his arms and placed his chin on top of her head.

"Christian, what are you thinking about?"

"I miss Aunt Daphne. . . I miss everything that happened at home during this period of time."

"Do you think. . . Aunt Daphne's matter really has something to do with Vivian?" When she heard Old Master Cooper's words, she was also shocked. This was something that no one had thought of before.

As soon as Old Master Cooper's words came out, Sarah felt cold sweat trickling down her back.

"Think about it. She can find someone to crash into your car. She drugged my dad and made him unconscious and hospitalized. She even changed the identities of the two children. Now, if she had

something to do with Aunt Daphne's death, I wasn't surprised at all. That woman's heart is even more ruthless than a beast’s heart! With her cruelty, there's nothing she can't do!"

After he asked Mrs. Garcia a few questions during dinner, Christian had already concluded that in Daphne's death, Vivian definitely had something to do with it.

"But. . . Have you ever thought that in this family, Aunt Daphne is the best person to Vivian? What is the reason she wants to harm Aunt Daphne? Why did she want to harm Aunt Daphne?" Sarah did not understand Vivian's motive.

"You are right. At that time, the child was already changed. Moreover, she had changed for a period of time. At that time, Aunt Daphne was also good to her. She had no reason to get rid of the person who treated her well in the family. But even so, she still harmed Aunt Daphne.” Christian paused and said seriously, “If this matter is confirmed to be done by her, then there is only one reason!"

"What is it?"

"Aunt Daphne accidentally heard Vivian's secret! Hannah is an accomplice, even if she heard it, Vivian would definitely not mind. Except for Hannah and Aunt Daphne, the rest of the people in the family were all kept a distance to her. So other than Hannah, Aunt Daphne was the person who entered her room the most.”

“Do you think Vivian can hide so many things herself? She would definitely call Greta or someone else. Maybe it was that night, Aunt Daphne accidentally heard her conversation records and only then did Vivian have killing intent! But this was only speculation. The truth of that night would very likely be covered up with Aunt Daphne's death. . ."

"Why?" Sarah asked in puzzlement.

"Think about it. With Vivian's thoughts, now that such a long time had passed, if we really want to find out the truth about this matter, it is already impossible. All the evidence had been destroyed. Aunt Daphne had also been buried and there was no third person present that night. As long as Vivian did not admit it, the police would not be able to do anything to her!”

“Now, we could only pray that her conscience to be discovered. But that's almost impossible. Because as long as she admits this, then she won't be able to come out for the rest of her life!"

Based on his speculation of that woman, she will never admit this matter.

Sarah nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, a life for a life. She definitely understood this logic. But if that's the case, Aunt Daphne's death will never be found out?"

"The law is most particular about evidence. No matter how we doubt it, the most important thing is to have evidence. If there is no direct evidence that she killed Aunt Daphne, to restore the truth of this case, we can only hope that her conscience finds out, but that is impossible."

"Yes! She has no heart at all! She can even give away her own flesh and blood, sigh. . . Actually, thinking about it, Simona's life is also quite bitter. Her mother is that kind of person. Fortunately, she was born in our family, even if she doesn't have a mother, she still has a big family like us to take care of her and protect her. So, she is also very lucky."

"En, in the future, when she grows up slowly, you have to pay more attention to her. Although Ruby is also not bad, in the future, she will definitely have her own child with Julian. It just so happens that Stephen and Simona are the same age. You have to take care of her all the time. Take her as your

daughter and raise her. Don't let Simona suffer a loss."

"Yes, I will."

The next morning, Christian drove his off-road vehicle and left the house. He went to report to the new army.

Before Christian left, he gave Julian the number of the captain of the criminal police team, Captain Smith and also told some details.

Once Christian left, Julian asked the driver to drive him directly to the Criminal Police Brigade of the Public Security Bureau. He found the captain of the Criminal Police Department, Captain Smith, and told him about his mother.

When he heard that Vivian was also involved in a murder case, and the deceased was actually Julian's mother, Captain Smith had to pay more attention to this case.

After listening to Julian explain all the details, Captain Smith roughly understood the sequence of events. He picked up the phone and made a call to the on-duty police men, who investigated Daphne’s death scene.

The two police officers quickly arrived at Captain Smith's office. Captain Smith let the two of them report to him about the situation at the scene that they had investigated that day. Finally, he waved his hand and let the two of them leave.

Seeing the door of the office close, Captain Smith walked back to the sofa opposite Julian and sat down. He looked at Julian and said slowly, "Now it seems that Military Commander Cooper's analysis is

correct. Vivian is the one who killed your mother.”

Captain Smith paused and explained more clearly, “Because if she did not kill your mother, even if it was dawn the next day, the lights in the corridor should still be on. But on the contrary, it was off which meant that someone had deliberately turned off the lights in the corridor!”

“I can't use it as proof of her crime. I can only interrogate Vivian now. I will exert psychological pressure on her, but whether she admits or not, totally depends on her. You have to be mentally prepared first."

"Don't you guys have some kind of lie detector? As long as you interrogate her properly, I believe she will definitely admit it!"

"The lie detector can only detect whether she is lying or not, but it can't be used as evidence legally. Don't worry, we will definitely try our best."

Hearing Captain Smith say this, Julian did not say anything else. The two of them discussed some more details before Julian left the Criminal Police Brigade.

Once Julian left, Captain Smith brought two more subordinates with him and went to Vivian's prison.

Vivian never would have thought that after the matter of Ethan and changing of children had just been exposed, the police from last time actually came to interrogate her again. And this time, it was actually Daphne's death.

She could still comfort herself about what happened earlier, because there were many people involved and she could not guarantee that everyone else would be the same as her. But when Daphne died, she was the only one present. How did Captain Smith know?

"Vivian, where were you the night Daphne died?"

"In the bedroom."

"Did she go upstairs to look for you?"

"No."

"When Daphne went downstairs, she should have turned on the wall lamp on the stairs. But the wall lamp was turned off that night, which meant that someone had turned it off after Daphne fell down the stairs. There was only Daphne on the second floor. Other than you, there was also someone else on the third floor. It was impossible for Julian and Ruby to turn off the lamp, so you were the only one who turned off the wall lamp!"

After saying that, Captain Smith slammed the table. He stared at Vivian, who was sitting on the interrogation chair.

"Officer, you can't frame me just because I was locked up in prison!"

"Vivian Holmes!"

Vivian lowered her head and lowered her voice. But she still refused to admit it. "I didn't go out after I went back to my bedroom that night! If you don't believe me, just go and investigate!"

That night, she was the only one at the scene. If the police couldn't find any evidence, then they couldn’t convict her.

Furthermore, Daphne was different from Ethan. She was dead. No matter how foolish Vivian was, she understood the simple principle of killing to pay with your life. If she really admitted to this matter and added what she had done previously. . . It would be virtually impossible for her to walk out of the door to prison in her entire life!

At this point in time, no matter what, she had to bite down on it!

In the following time, no matter how much Captain Smith interrogated Vivian, Vivian bit hard on that stayed in the bedroom all the way until the end. She might as well not say anything.

Captain Smith had already expected this kind of situation. With Vivian's stubbornness and cunningness, she definitely would not easily plead guilty. In order to exert psychological pressure on Vivian, he and his two subordinates took turns interrogating her.

But after several rounds of sparring, Vivian was completely indifferent. She had made up her mind to persist until the end.
