Chapter 261 Why Are You Stopping Me?
Ormus must have known the relationship between the two, so he just left.
Irene looked at Manuel. “Manuel, Ms. Easton seems to have some misunderstandings about me.”
“Manuel! She’s the reason why Nancy died. I have found the evidence.” Ainsley’s eyes were bright.
“Manuel, her evidence is nothing. It’s all nonsense. She’s framing me.” Irene’s eyes were burning
with anger.
Manuel stared at the two of them without saying a word. His hand slightly exerted force, but he did
not say anything.
Ainsley looked at him disappointedly and continued to say to Irene, “Irene, you were the one who pushed her off the building, weren’t you?”
“No.” Irene shrugged.
She once again whispered into Ainsley’s ear, “That day, she and I went up to the rooftop. We had a
deal, but she suddenly changed her mind. I couldn’t change her mind again, so I had to do it
myself.”
“It is… you.” Ainsley’s eyes widened and her lips parted.
“Why did you do this to her? Why are you so cruel?”
“Cruel?” Irene sneered. “It’s too early for you to say that.”
Then she turned to look at her assistant in the car who was urging her with his eyes. “But I don’t
have time for this nonsense.”
Irene turned around and was about to leave.
“Don’t go! You haven’t made it clear yet!” Ainsley frantically stopped Irene.
But the latter did not care at all and just waved at Ainsley and got in the car. Manuel stopped Ainsley.
If it was anyone else, she would not be so incredulous, but the person who stopped her was Manuel.
“Why?” Ainsley asked softly.
The car door was slammed shut, and the sound of the engine starting was particularly loud.
Ainsley stopped in her tracks, and there was no point in chasing after Irene now.
Ainsley’s eyes were red as she glared at Manuel and shouted, “Why? Didn’t you hear that? She is the murderer! She is the one who killed Nancy. She pushed Nancy off the building. You heard everything!”
“She has already left.” Manuel’s arm was like an iron wall.

“Yes! She has already left. It’s all because of you. Why did you stop me? Manuel, why did you stop me?” Ainsley could not believe that the person who stopped her at the last moment was Manuel.
“There is no evidence.” Manuel stared back at Ainsley.
“But I saw it. Have you ever seen someone die in front of you? Have you ever seen it? You would never know how sad Nancy’s mom was. Nancy died only a few days ago, but you let Irene go. Manuel, why did you do this? Did you come just to stop me?”
“Yes! I have seen it! I saw it with my own eyes.”
”
Ainsley immediately cast her hateful gaze over, and then she heard Manuel, who had always been. tough, say, “It was my mother. I saw her die with my own eyes.”
In Westhill Cemetery, Manuel stood in front of a grave. The woman in the picture on the tombstone had a beautiful face. On it was written: Lynette Gage, a loving mother.
In front of the tomb were fresh roses and carnations, and there was a flick of rare tenderness in Manuel’s cold eyes.
After his mother passed away, Manuel’s father went abroad in deep sorrow. Manuel had always believed that Lynette’s death was not as simple as it seemed.
Ainsley stood a little further away and watched this. She suddenly felt that it was a little unreal.
Manuel said he saw his mother die in front of him. Ainsley could not imagine how painful it must
- be.
The man standing before the tombstone with his head down seemed to have removed his camouflage and the mask called strength. Finally, he showed a hint of vulnerability.
Ainsley walked closer to him, and Manuel suddenly turned into a teenager. He looked at the photo on the tombstone with tears in his eyes.
She could not help but want to take a few steps forward to hold him, even if she could only put her hand on his back.
“It’s not time yet to make everything clear. If I do it, I will only alert the enemy. But Aisy, please believe me,” Manuel said solemnly.
In the years he had been investigating the Wade family, Manuel had been misunderstood and slandered. He only felt that it did not matter until he met someone he cared about.
No matter how hard the process of the investigation was, Manuel did not want to be misunderstood by the person he cared about.
Ainsley did not speak. She only looked at Manuel with eyes full of inquiry. Before the time came,
Get Bopit
this would always be his excuse.
But this time, Ainsley knew that what Manuel said was true.
If they wanted to find out the truth, they had to pay a heavy price. Ainsley didn’t ask anything because she couldn’t bear to inflict any more pain on the man who was already deep in grievance.
However, there was one thing that she still wanted to figure out. “I don’t have to ask about anything else, but there is one thing you have to tell me.”
“What?” Manuel raised his head.
“Did we really know each other three years ago? Is there something wrong with my memory?” Ainsley paused and continued, “When I was treating Serina, I got something from her subconscious
mind.
“She drew some paintings for me. I found something happening in the paintings familiar, but my mind is blank, and I can’t remember anything.”
“No, we didn’t.” Manuel clenched his fists.
