Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 640

Though news of Yolanda fighting and injuring Donovan had not spread widely yet, both Shadow Clan and Eternal Clan members knew the details. Now with Donovan dead, Yolanda was the prime suspect.

"After Donovan was hospitalized and stabilized yesterday, they planned to fly him back to Dunhill for treatment. But when he woke up, he flew into a rage and kicked everyone out of his room, saying he needed to be alone.

"Everyone assumed he was just embarrassed about losing to someone so young, so they let him be. When his people came to get him for the private flight, they found him dead. Ms. Henderson, if I may ask—where were you between eleven and midnight last night?"

Joel was not doubting her, but this would get complicated without a solid alibi.

"I was at home." Yolanda recalled that she had returned to her house during that time. Before coming to the hospital, she had also checked the surveillance around Donovan. All cameras had been thoroughly destroyed before the incident. They were beyond even hacker recovery.

This was clearly aimed at her, but her current identity was not worth such an elaborate frame-up. Using this method to cast suspicion on her meant there was a different motive altogether.

"That makes things difficult." Joel's brow furrowed. If officials applied pressure, even he might not be able to protect her.

But Yolanda was not particularly worried. Instead, she asked, "Are there other suspects?"

"Several people had grudges against Donovan, but none are in Riverdale. We can't rule out hired assassins, but they'd need someone well-known amongst the underground forces given Donovan's skills. According to our intel, no one matching that profile has entered Riverdale.

"As for George and Shadow Clan, they're convinced you're the killer. They claim you killed him to avoid consequences for injuring him."
