Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1669
“By the way, officer, my cousin offended quite a lot of people previously…” Catherine interrupted Sally. Then, she bit her tongue before she continued.
Sally was filled with resentment. “The cruelest person she ever offended is you.”
“Mom…” Catherine’s eyes were red. “Am I your biological daughter or is it Rebecca? Dad and you were injured when you mourned for Rebecca in the hall, so I just want to find out who attacked you. But why do you keep turning against me?”
“How can you compare yourself to Rebecca?
Rebecca got your dad and me out of jail, yet you were the one who sent us to jail, ” Sally responded in a huff.
Catherine said righteously, “Would I have done so if you both hadn’t killed Granny? Granny had treated me well since I was young. Between justice and kinship, I had no choice but to pick the former.”
“They killed your granny?” The police officer’s eyes became sharp. Her granny was her injured father’s biological mother, was she not?
Since he could sink so low as to kill his own mother, was he even human?
The police officer’s eyes became hostile when he looked at Jeffery.
“I didn’t.” Jeffery denied it anxiously. “Someone framed me.”
“Fine, keep on saying that. Anyway, that case was settled three years ago. I have no idea how Rebecca got both of you out. It doesn’t matter as long as you both have a clear conscience.” A forced smile flashed across Catherine’s face.
“Enough.” The police officer pulled a long face, refusing to listen anymore. “I’ll investigate the incident that took place at the parlor, but I might not be able to track down the mastermind behind it.”
