A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 1000

He was bowing his head, his eyes lingering on her cheeks, as if he wanted to penetrate her eyes to see through her mood at the moment. After a long, long time, he said softly, "I hope it won't be too long!"

Rae was stunned, suddenly feeling soft.

She felt her eyes were wet.

Then she nodded vigorously. "It won't be too long, it must not be too long!"

Marcel looked towards the distant sky, and there seemed to be a haze flashing in his eyes.

The two went to lunch together, and then returned to the police station.

The first thing Rae did was to determine if Ophelia had said anything!

However, the answer was disappointing!

When Marcel saw Rae being so anxious, he comforted her, "Don't worry, Ophelia will say it before 2:30 this afternoon!"

Rae was shocked by Marcel's remarks. "how do you know?"

"Ophelia is a smart person!" Marcel said, "She will weigh the pros and cons. After she can't get love, money or status, she might get to jail. How would she choose?"

Rae was surprised again.

She had to admire Marcel's directness, he hit Ophelia so directly.

Yes!

Ophelia was smart!

Rae had long known that Ophelia had always been a very smart woman. She weighed the pros and cons very early, so now when Rae heard Marcel say this, she also thought of the past. Her heart relaxed a little.

"You should know her, so wait, be patient!" Marcel's tone was also very calm, without the anxiousness and sarcasm to her before. Now he was very gentle, making himself a little more gentle while being cold.

Rae nodded and smiled at him, "Got it!"

Sure enough, at two o'clock in the afternoon, it was not half past two.

The people in the interrogation room came to pass a message saying that Ophelia wanted to see Rae.

Rae got excited, and rushed to Marcel's office for the first time.

When she was so excited that she pushed the door before she even had time to knock, Marcel was also taken aback and looked up at her, and there was another person in the room, Garbassi, they were studying!

Rae gasped and said, "Sorry, I forgot to knock on the door!"

"What's the matter?" Marcel asked.

Garbassi's eyes changed, and then he nodded gently.

Rae reported to Marcel, "Ophelia wants to see me!"

Marcel nodded, as expected, without the slightest surprise. "You go first and tell her that I will ask her questions at half past two. She had better not delay any more time, otherwise I won't give her another chance!"

"Got it!" Rae's tone was unconsciously brisk, and her posture was as light as a swallow and danced lightly.

Marcel looked at her leaving back and seemed to sigh.

Garbassi saw him like this, and asked a little worried, "Captain Hopkins, what shall we do next?"

"Do as our plan!" Marcel said.

Garbassi opened his mouth and said nothing in the end.

The two began to study the case again.

Rae couldn't wait to take the elevator, and walked down the stairs.

When she reached the interrogation room, Ophelia was sitting there when she pushed the door in. Seeing her, Ophelia didn't have much expression.

Rae was not in a hurry, sat down opposite her, and whispered, "Ophelia!"

Ophelia did not greet her, nor said anything else, but said, "The one million, the one million in cash for Stanley is from me!"

Rae was shocked. "Ophelia?"

"The money was given to me by Heath. I am the manager of the public relations department of YS Club. When he gave it to me, he said it was for business use. I owned it 2 years. I took it out from the bank in batches, you can check the records six months ago, you should get it!"

"In addition, I don’t know if Heath is the murderer in Karina’s case. Reuben firmly believes that his brother is not! I have no evidence, so I can’t say anything! But I know Stanley threatened Heath. Stanley was a gambler, so usually in debt! He not only owed Heath, he also owed Benjamin! I don’t know what happened between him and Benjamin! But Stanley had evidence that Heath bought and sold prohibited items in YS Club! That was collected by Karina. Yes! Karina used this threat Heath to marry her before, Heath refused, Karina tried everything to threaten Heath. After that, Karina died! Stanley threatened Reuben and Heath with that! He was greedy and wanted a ten million. Heath refused, then he went to Reuben and Benjamin!"

"What does Benjamin have to do with this?" Rae couldn't help but stop Ophelia's words directly.

Ophelia glanced at her and said, "Benjamin is a very thoughtful person. He and Heath are good friends. They have known Reuben before, so he helped their brothers deal with a lot of personal affairs!"

"Oh!" Rae nodded, remembering the photos she saw before. It was seven years ago. At that time, Benjamin and Rae and Reuben knew each other!

"Reuben isn’t the murderer and the chief plotter, he is not that kind of person!" Ophelia said, "I have known him for many years, except that he is usually a little gloomy, this person is not bad. Yes, so I believe that Reuben is innocent, both rationally and emotionally!"

Rae nodded.

Ophelia continued, "Heath arranged for me to send money to Stanley. I called Reuben but he didn't answer! I sent it to Stanley. When I finished the delivery, Reuben came to me and I told him this. He was furious and yelled at me! He said I shouldn't give him money, and then called Heath away and yelled at him for a while. Later, Heath didn't care much about this, and only said that Reuben thought too much! But the next day, Stanley died!"

"The clues I can provide are very limited! One more thing, Karina's drug, the glass of wine she drank, was given to her by me. I don't know that there is a drug in it, but I guess that drug may be the hallucinogen sold privately in the YS Club, this one was sold by Heath himself!"

Rae wrote these down immediately.

"About some inside information about YS Club, I have written evidence in the safe of the bank, I can tell you the password, and you can pick it up yourself!" Ophelia's tone was flat, "I'm done!"
