He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 499

Both Carter Miles and Sebastian Hayes were well aware of Janetta Ramirez's true temperament.

She just knew how to play the perfect, fragile victim in front of Sebastian, carefully avoiding anything that might trigger his anger.

Combined with their shared history, Sebastian carried a deep sense of guilt toward her.

Sebastian listened in silence, his expression unreadable.

"What about the rest?" he pressed.

Carter knew exactly what he was asking about.

"The findings haven't changed. When the incident happened, only Ms. Ramirez and your wife were present. The security footage clearly shows your wife driving the knife into Ms. Ramirez's stomach, resulting in the miscarriage," Carter reported grimly. "The police reached the same conclusion. We scoured the area for additional angles, but nothing came up. That camera was the only one with a line of sight, meaning unless a third party was present, the footage stands. And we found absolutely zero evidence of a third party."

"..."

"As for the day Wynn Wallace died at The Hayes Estate, Ms. Ramirez did intercept your wife when she tried to run out. Ms. Ramirez also admitted to the cruel things she said. However, your wife was the one who physically shoved her. There were dozens of witnesses, and you can't erase that. I questioned the staff individually, and their testimonies lined up perfectly. There were no discrepancies."

Carter laid out the brutal facts.

Sometimes, what you saw was exactly what happened.

Even if it felt completely out of character.

Carter felt incredibly frustrated by the dead ends.

They all knew Helena Wallace.

She was not a vicious or violent person.

In fact, she had always been gentle and remarkably patient.

It would take an unimaginable amount of psychological torture to push her to the breaking point.

"Did you look into Hope's death?" Sebastian demanded, his voice dropping an octave.

"That will be all for now," Sebastian finally muttered.

Carter nodded, knowing better than to offer empty comfort.

Sebastian turned and strode toward the hospital exit, barking over his shoulder, "Keep pressing the police station. Find a loophole."

The order made Carter wince.

"Mr. Hayes, she confessed voluntarily. Our hands are tied," Carter reminded him quietly.

Helena had actively admitted to attempted murder.

How were they supposed to spin that?

To even begin mounting a defense, they needed her to plead not guilty.
