Ada’s mother had not expected Ada to betray her at such a critical moment!
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the woman in front of her shouting at her.
“This was all your idea! You told me to simply burn Adam to death. You told me that once he was dead, Shirley would never recover! This might anger her so much that the baby in her womb may not survive a s well!”
In lashing all her anger out at her mother, Ada had revealed how Ada had been instructed by her to commit the crime.
“What? So you were the one who instigated her to do this? You two are amazing. Both mother and daughter! ” Camille was shocked by what Ada had said.
Ada’s mother immediately turned green in the face. She feared that the police would arrest her as well, but she was more afraid that Carter would torture her because of this.
Carter, however, did not make any move despite the rage burning in his eyes.
While he may be a malicious person, he would never expose that side of himself in front of the police.
“Madam, please come with us too.”
The police officer spoke, pulling out another pair of handcuffs with a stern look on his face, and immediately handcuffed Ada’s mother.
“This… No… Officer… This has nothing to do with me. My daughter has gone mad and is now spewing nonsense !” Ada’s mother did exactly what Ada had done earlier, flailing her hands around as she spouted absurdities, trying desperately to explain herself.
“If you have anything to explain, you can do it at the police station.” The police officers did not allow Ada’s mother an opportunity to speak up. They pushed both mother and daughter directly toward the door.
Ada’s mother had never felt so disgruntled. She turned her head toward Ada and screamed, “I gave birth to an idiot! I came here to help you, yet you turned the tables on me and betrayed me instead!
“There’s no cure for someone as stupid as you. No wonder Carter despises you. You are a foolish idiot! If the crime is confirmed, I, at most, had given you the idea. But it’s different for you. You have killed two people!”
