Chapter 623 The Snake Behind the Mask

"Oh.By the way, I've looked into the incident you asked me to investigate."

Harper noticed that Elspeth's expression was slightly grim, so he chose his words carefully.

"Joella got into an accident while on the way to the airport, but the other vehicle was a truck without a license plate.According to the eyewitnesses, the truck was empty too.It means that the driver fled the truck before the crash."

"What about the nearby surveillance cameras? Have you looked into the footage yet?" He shook his head in response.

"For some reason, all the surveillance cameras along that road were down during that time."

"Without the surveillance footage, does that mean there's no way to identify the perpetrator?"

After hearing that, Harper sighed.

"Not quite.It means solid evidence will be hard to come by, and even if you do, it won't amount to much.Also, we won't be able to link it to the mastermind behind it."

At that moment, Elspeth felt despondent after hearing what he had reported.

"All right.You should head back to the company if there's nothing else."

"Miss Elspeth, I came across one useful piece of information."

"What is it?"

"The driver's last known location was a cafe near Alphascape Group."

When she heard that, her expression hardened.

"I see."

Meanwhile, at Alphascape Group, Yena was sitting on the couch leisurely reading the newspaper when her office door was forcibly pushed open.So, she turned around nonchalantly as if she had anticipated this.

At that moment, her assistant stood at the door looking slightly flustered.

"Miss Hallaway, I tried to stop her, but she refused to cooperate."

Yena saw Elspeth standing grimly at the door, and the sight of her made Yena happier than she'd ever been.

"What a coincidence.We finally met again!"

Elspeth scoffed in response.

"There's no one else around.You don't need to keep up with the act."

After that, Yena glanced at the door as her assistant hurriedly exited and closed it.

Eventually, the two women were left alone in the room.

"I don't quite understand what you're saying.What act are you talking about?"

Elspeth then took a deep breath to help her stay calm and asked, "Are you the one behind Joella Henning's death?"

Despite the question format, Yena was confident that Elspeth knew the answer.

So, Yena put down the newspaper and responded indifferently, "I don't know how Joella Henning died.I don't even know this person."

"Don't bother pretending.I know everything you said to her when you went to her house the other day."

Yena was shocked to hear that.

She never anticipated that there would be anyone else in the house besides her and Joella at the time.

Furthermore, Yena had no idea that they were being eavesdropped on.

"Fine.I admit that I do know who she is, but so what? Is that enough for you to determine that I'm the one who killed her?"

She was confident that Elspeth did not have evidence implicating her in the crime.

"Then, do you still remember your last words to her?"

After hearing that, Yena combed through her memory.What did I say? Oh.I said I won't let her get away with this.

"Nope.I don't remember."

She has no proof so! can just play dumb about it.

"I'd be happy to jog your memory if you've forgotten what you said."

Following that, Elspeth played the audio recording on her phone.

Yena's expression abruptly turned sour as soon as she was exposed to the content of the audio being played on the phone's speakers.

"You made a recording."

She's still as cunning and sly as ever.

"It was just a matter of habit.I was only worried that someone would refuse to acknowledge what they had said and done."

Elspeth’s expression was still grim when she said that.She felt guilty and responsible for Joella's death and Cameron's sorrowful cries.

"Right.After all, do you think you can prove my guilt based solely on this recording? No one will believe you, and neither do I."

After saying that, Yena crossed her arms.
