Chapter 262 The Crime was Confirmed 

I propped my chin and watched her suppressed anger and fear, laughing, “You know he was nice to me because of the favor he owed me from the past, right? What about you? Why was he nice to you for the past five years? Because he loves you? Do you believe that if you say it out loud? Ashley, you’ve just been taking advantage of him for a few years and you really think Walter is nice to you because he loves you? If he really loved you, with your understanding of him, you’ve been in here for so long, why hasn’t he come to see you even once?” 

She was mute, but her face was full of defiance. 

I shook the bracelet in my hand, smiled faintly, “See this? This was 

given by the grandmother of the Hinton family. Only when approved by Walter and the old lady, would it be passed on to the 

granddaughter-in-law. Ashley, you, are destined not to own it in this 

lifetime.” 

“Tabatha!” Enraged by me, Ashley suddenly stood up, crazily wielding a chair and hurling it at me, roaring, “I won’t let you off easily, you’ll never leave this place in your lifetime, I want you to stay here forever, even if I die, I’ll drag you down to hell with me.” 

She went into a frenzy, but fortunately, the police outside reacted quickly and came in to restrain her in no time. 

As she was being taken away, she glared at me fiercely and said angrily, “Tabatha, what good will it do if Walter saves you? It was you who were stupid enough to hide Henry’s body. By now, all the evidence has been destroyed. Prepare to rot in this cell, no one can save you, no one!” 

She was taken away, and I stood there, lost in thought.

Was all the evidence destroyed? 

So, there was evidence to prove that I didn’t kill Henry? 

Could this be the reason why Ashley, who clearly knew from the start that Henry was dead and that I had hidden his body, didn’t say anything at all? 

Was she buying time to destroy evidence? 

Did someone help her? 

Thinking of this, I looked at Captain Lucas who walked in and said, “Captain Lucas, may I ask you a favor?” 

The conversation I just had with Ashley, he saw it all through the surveillance. Seeing me open my mouth, he nodded, “You speak!” 

“You mentioned before, someone had visited Ashley before she reported me. Can you help me find that person?” Ashley had been inactive before, but suddenly reported me after meeting someone, indicating that this matter must be related to that person. 

Captain Lucas furrowed his brows slightly, pondered for a moment and said, “Are you referring to the man named Robinson?” 

I didn’t know this man, but he had come to the police station to see Ashley, so his name would have been registered. I nodded, “Hmm!” 

Captain Lucas nodded, paused, and said, “I had someone look into this man, and found out that he’s not from our country. Moreover, after visiting Ashley, he left the country again. Currently, we have no way –of tracking his whereabouts!” 

“Not in the country!” I was astonished, “Did you inquire about his movements in the country before?”
