Dolores looked down at his hand, which was holding a memory card. Dolores frowned, “What is this?”
Terry looked more serious, “My brother didn’t kill himself. He was murdered.”
It was the same sentence. Dolores was not interested.
“I am sorry. I have other business to take care of. I am leaving.” Dolores paid for her ticket and then walked to the entrance.
Under the urgent situation, Terry run to her and grabbed her arm, “Six years ago, my brother got a sum of money, which was given to him by a woman who asked him to hit and kill a woman by car.”
Bang!
Dolores felt like a lightning struck on her head.
Someone tried to kill her six years ago?
“You are the woman that my brother was ordered to kill. But luckily you escaped your death, right?” Terry spoke his speculation.
After discovering the recording, Terry understood why Dolores found him repulsive and disgusting whenever she saw him.
Dolores took the memory card from his hand. She observed it carefully and thought it must be a phone memory card. Only old-fashioned phone used in old days had this kind of card. Smart phone these days had huge internal memory and didn’t need such things. Dolores put the memory card back on his hand, “You have evidence in it?”
“If you have time, we can find a place and talk.” Terry knew Dolores would agree.
Dolores agreed as he had assumed. She wanted to know who wanted to kill her too.
That car accident almost made her lose her babies.
“I know a coffee shop nearby. Let’s go there.” Dolores walked ahead to lead the way.
Terry followed her.
The coffee shop was in the neighborhood’s surroundings. Dolores saw it last night.
Soon they arrived at the coffee shop. Dolores found a quiet corner and sat down.
“Would you like something to drink?” Though Dolores wanted to find out the truth immediately, she thought Terry needed a drink judging by how thirsty he looked.
“I want some water.” He was truly thirsty.
Dolores handed the menu to a waiter, “Get us two cups of water first. We will let you know when we need something else.”
“Okay.”
The waiter brought two cups of water. After the waiter walked away and Terry drunk a cup of water, Dolores said, “Spill it. What happened?”
“Listen to this first.” Terry took out a phone which can accommodate the memory card. He opened the phone and put the memory card in it. Then he turned on the phone and found the recording in the memory card before playing it.
There was only a single section of recording, which must be recorded during a conversation.
“If I do as you said and kill that woman by car. Won’t I go behind bars?”
“Don’t worry. I won’t let you get lawsuits or get imprisoned. We will damage the brake of your car ahead of time and then fake a brake failure. You won’t have to take much responsibility for a car accident caused by brake failure. Besides, you are sick, and I will also assist you. You should know that you will get a large sum of money after you finish your job. You won’t make such great money even if you work for your whole life. This is a good deal for you.”
“Don’t worry. Even if you are imprisoned, I will get you out.” The woman seemed very eager to persuade him.
At that time, Maria not only wanted to have Dolores taste the pain of a car accident, but also wanted her life.
She wanted to make Dolores disappear from this world before Dolores and Matthew got a divorce. In this way, nobody would threaten Maria’s position any more. And Matthew would belong to her and her alone.
But Maria didn’t know that someone would come rescue Dolores.
She also didn’t know that man took Dolores away from B City. Dolores was gone for six years. She even gave birth to her babies.
“According to this recording, I speculate that this woman knew my brother needed money and that he was a truck driver. So she found him and planned the accident.” Terry put the phone back into his pocket and said.
Dolores rested her head on her hand and thought about the female voice in the recording. It was clear and familiar. She almost recognized the voice at the second she heard it.
It belonged to Helen, who was Maria now.
It was Maria who made Jessica suffer from mental disease before, which was later controlled and cured by Sampson. So Jessica was like a normal person now. Therefore, Dolores didn’t want to hold on to it.
The reason why she didn’t want to hold to it was because Maria was Sampson’s sister.
But now...
Dolores had always thought the car accident was caused by brake failure. But it wasn’t.
“You know who the woman in the recording is, right?” Terry asked tentatively.
