Chapter 158

“You seem so happy, Pea? Something good happened?”

Wayne was relieved to hear Pearl sounding happy. He had expected her to be down for a while

because of Richard, but it seemed like she was back to her usual self.

“I’m fine. By the way, how’s the investigation about Renee going?”

Wayne was eager to share the update. “The blood traces found at Renee’s home match those of a

convict who served time in Enswood. He was sentenced to ten years and was released just two

months ago, but he’s already committed another murder. I’ve dispatched someone to track him down.

Additionally, there’s evidence that twenty hours before Renee’s death, Abby had a cash transaction

with this man, and she transferred 100 thousand dollars to his account.”

“This confirms that Abby was involved in the murder!” Pearl exclaimed, realizing she had wrongly

pinned this on Hugo…

Having made up her mind after receiving this critical information, Pearl continued, “Alright, gather all

the information tonight. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to the hospital to meet Abby.”

She was going to show Richard how much of a snake Abby was.

Wayne worked quickly and sent over all the gathered information not long after their call ended.

The next morning, Pearl went to the hospital where Susan was admitted.

Abby had spent three days and nights without sleep, waiting for the opportunity to kill Susan. She

wasn’t thrilled about it, but she had maintained a facade of concern and had even lied to Richard.

“Rick, do you think she’ll wake up?” Abby asked, but deep down, she was worried.

“Hugo said Mom is recovering well, so she might wake up in two days,” Richard replied with hope in his

voice.

Unbeknownst to him, Abby broke into a cold sweat. If Susan woke up after two days, her secret act of

pushing her down the stairs would be revealed.

Just then, Pearl walked in, and Abby gasped.

“What’s wrong? Afraid to see me? Are you feeling guilty?”

Pearl’s words made Abby feel awkward. The latter looked away and said in a rude tone, “Stop accusing

me. Everyone knows you did this. Why would I hurt Aunt Susan? She loves me, and I’m very thankful

for that!”

She sounded so convincing that even Richard was fooled.

However, Pearl remained resolute. “Well, if you’re going to keep that narrative, we should let the

evidence speak for itself.” She then slammed a thick stack of documents onto the table. “Do you want

to go through these on your own, or do you want me to help you?”

Abby was visibly distressed when she saw the documents. “You’re fabricating evidence. This is

character assassination!”

“We’ll know if this was fabricated when we look at it.” Pearl opened the folder and carefully placed each

piece of paper on the table.

“This is your connection to a convicted felon, along with evidence of your transferring 100 thousand

dollars to him. I won’t delve into the details, but this implicates you in the murder of Renee’s family. I

never suspected it was you.”

She continued, “This one shows you trying to pull out Susan’s IV tube, and someone took a picture of

it. Isn’t it obvious what you were trying to do?”

As Abby looked at the papers spread out before her, she began to feel light-headed.
