A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 860

Instead, Marcel Hopkins smiled and said, “Mr. Raphael Gill, only you and Joanna Salinas knew what happened between the both of you last night, aside from being known by that person…”

Just after he finished saying so, the sound of door knocking pierced the air, he then stood up and walked towards the door to listen to the reports delivered by the person at the door , there was coldness in his eyes, at some point of the conversation he frowned and turned back to look at Raphael and Rae Baxter, soon he returned and asked Raphael, “Mr.Gill, you returned to NY Villa last night again didn't you, how would you explain this?”

Raphael frowned for a while but immediately he remained calm, he then smiled and said, “Captain Hopkins, I went home last night, I don’t know what you are talking about!”

Rae was disappointed instead , ‘Did he went out last night?’she thought.

‘Would he?’

Marcel smiled and said, “Mr.Gill, do you think that you have the authority to simply access the security cameras as you wish just because NY Villa is a part of the Raphael family industry? The video records of Green Villa Area and NY Villa last night were both 5 minutes shorter, are you trying to tell me that this is a coincidence Mr.Gill?”

Raphael shrugged his shoulders and said, “Is this not a coincidence?”

All of a sudden Marcel’s voice became deep, “Mr.Gill, please stop wasting your time, it would be more beneficial for you to tell the truth! Or else...” he did not finish his sentence.

Lawyer King suddenly stood up with full of righteousness he said to Marcel, “Captain Hopkins, what you said towards my client just now can be regarded as a threat, we will take legal actions for that!”

Marcel returned with a smile and said, “It seems like it did not say anything!”

“You better keep it that way!” replied Lawyer King.

In the meantime Rae was staring at Raphael, her eyes were full of concern.

Raphael later said, “Captain Hopkins, I can only say that I have nothing to do with Joanna’s death!”

Marcel nodded and said, “Right now I only hope that Mr.Gill could tell me who it is he is defending for?”

Raphael remained in silence.

Marcel then said, “Last night around 11.15pm to 11.20pm, the CCTV at Green Villa Area lost signal for about 5 minutes! 5 minutes, is just enough to move a car from the villa’s garage and drive out towards Green Villa Area, I tested it out with my colleague, right at the corner of Green Villa Area, there is dead corner which is a blind spot for the CCTV on the street, you could have switched cars there!”

Marcel’s interpretation caused Raphael to be expressionless, Lawyer King was anxious. “Captain Hopkins, you will need to prove your statements!”

“You don’t need to remind me, I am a police officer, I understand that. ”Marcel said with confidence.

Instead Rae was thinking, ‘She called Raphael many times last night, she even texted him but he didn’t reply, did he not bring his phone along with him? Or is it inconvenient for him to bring his own personal phone?’ she thought.

‘Was Raphael really covering for someone? Who would it be? Who is that worth for Raphael to defend? Raphael’s reputation is pretty well-maintained when he was at home, even the whole City B was full of young masters, all dressed handsomely, many women was obsessed with him, Raphael just changed his partners very often, nothing else, his was pretty good at doing business and even did quite a number of charities as well.Even if there was such a person, who would it be?’

Rae still couldn’t think of anyone even after she racked her brain, ‘Who could it possibly be?’ she thought. Related to Joanna and someone Raphael knew! As for Marcel, his words caused her to evaluate Raphael once more, ‘Was she really wrong?’ she thought. ‘No, Raphael is not that kind of person, at least he won’t kill anyone! What on earth is he hiding?’

Meanwhile Marcel said, “You switched into a black poker car with plate number of A33128 right at a corner of Green Villa Area, afterwards, you drove back to the villa and a person showed up in the video which was your assistant, Edward Fisher! It only took 10 minutes for this car to move from Green Villa Area to NY Villa. It was at 11.30pm, the video between 11.30pm to 11.35pm at NY Villa was lost. This 5 minute gap is just enough for you to drive towards NY Villa to park outside of Joanna’ house, our informant was being questioned by the security once around 11.32 pm, which means within this 3 minute time gap, someone came out from Joanna’s house and left with your car. ”

Marcel illustrated with such confidence and fluency, even Rae was shocked, ‘Where did he acquire all this evidence?’ She thought. However, he indeed did gathered the evidence such as the camera videos for both NY Villa and Green Villa Area, even the part where the video was lost within that 5 minutes was found by the technician in such a short period of time, Rae had no choice but to admit her partner’s work efficiency in certain times which was outstanding indeed!

Raphael slightly looked down, his expression was still full of honesty, he did not seem worried at all, Rae had no choice but to remain suspicious.

With full confidence Marcel said again, “Buick car drove to your company there is a video proof for that, someone even saw your father took a ride in a BENTLEY to Green Villa Area around 12am. There were three person in the car, your assistant Edward, your father Mathew and you Mr.Gill! The person that you are protecting is your father Mathew! ”

At this point, Rae noticed that Raphael’s long eyebrows started to frown slightly, nearly unnoticeable,

however when she stared at him she could see small changes on his face!

Mathew?

Mathew’s impression to her was he was a strict,elegant yet handsome old man, despite being in his 60’s, he was still energetic without looking old at all, he often showed up in the TV screen as one of the most powerful man of city B, he was even the model of a successful businessman!

If Raphael was defending someone, and that someone was his father, everything makes sense!

He would only defend till the end if that someone was his beloved person.

Rae suddenly felt sorry for him, he chose to remain in silence even though he was currently being suspected, ‘Which means that his father might be the suspect?’ She thought.

Raphael did not say anything.

Lawyer King spoke again, “Captain Hopkins, fabricating the truth and accusing others intentionally is a serious issue that can be regarded as a libel, further investigations would be carried out.”

Instead, Marcel laughed confidently and said. “I’m sorry Lawyer King but we do have proof!”

Lawyer King’s face darkened, he wanted to say something but words did not come out.
