Chapter 256 Finally at Ease
Since the kidnapping had happened, Meredith couldn’t keep dwelling on the matter. “S-So is the kid really dead? Is that body his?” “Of course it is. Where else could I find a kid’s body for you?”
“Why did you ruin his face, then?” Meredith couldn’t figure that part out. If the child’s face wasn’t destroyed, nobody would suspect anything, including Pierre. Everything would have ended on a perfect note for Meredith, leaving no room for questions.
“Amateurs. This is called self protection. Someone’s bound to find some clues if we make it look too obvious. Complicating things makes it easier for us to skedaddle. God you’re so annoying. The kid’s dead, so just relax.”
Meredith didn’t ask any further questions. It was a kidnap and murder after all. They’d be in hot soup if someone managed to trace it back to them. “Alright, I understand. Thanks, Big Ben.”
After hanging up, she heaved a sigh of relief. Pierre would probably give up after failing to find any clues about Jamie.
Before this, she’d asked Big Ben to leave some clues that pointed to Selena as the murderer. All she needed was for Pierre to suspect Selena, and her plan would work.
When Meredith came to the Fowler Residence again, gloom still loomed over them. Before she got out of the car, she filled her eyes with eye drops, making her look teary-eyed again.
John was in his study, sighing. His grandson was dead, and he nearly beat his own son to death. Only Helen was bravely supporting the family, and she was the one welcoming Meredith.
“Mrs. Fowler, Jojo must be devastated after his brother’s death. I want to spend some time with him.”
