The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1249

Sheryl hadn't returned yet. She was probably still in the hospital. Was she waiting for Leila to wake up?

Sheryl and Nancy were the only two that knew about Leila was being poisoned. 'I must do something to make others believe Sheryl poisoned Leila!' Melissa thought.

A streak of gloom flashed through her eyes but soon disappeared.

She thought about the situation for a moment and immediately got out her cellphone to make a call.

The person on the other end of the line simply asked her," Mrs. Lu, how can I help you this time? What would you like to report now?"

"A family scandal," Melissa said these two words at ease. She was way too calm to be taken seriously.

"A family scandal, Mrs. Lu? Did I hear correctly?"

"Oh, enough with the unnecessary questions. Listen, what I'm going to tell you right now is important..." Melissa opened her mouth. She paused for a second and then slowly explained her plans.

The man on the other end of the line listened patiently. As he waited for her to finish her story, a spur of excitement appeared on his face. Raising his eyebrows several times, he replied, "Okay, well, this is definitely big news. Thank you for sharing your 'family scandal, ' Mrs. Lu."

"Just keep your mouth shut. Remember, you never heard it from me. If you do, you'll suffer the consequences," Melissa said coldly.

"Yes, of course. I am aware."

At the police station

After careful consideration, Holley finally made the decision to confess her guilt. She had it in her mind that Rachel wouldn't let her down.

As Rachel kept defending herself, Holley's voice suddenly came out.

"It was I who accidentally killed Lance. It was all my fault and not Rachel's! She had nothing to do with it."

Upon hearing this, both Rachel and the police were shocked. Holley's voice was so loud that her confession echoed in the interrogation room.

Rachel stared at Holley in confusion. At this point, she felt strange, as though she had become a complete stranger to her.

There was a warm flutter in her chest that left Rachel speechless. Suddenly, tears filled her eyes.

She never expected Holley to take the blame for Lance's death.

She thought they were always at odds with each other, but she was surprised that Holley took all the blame on her.

"Holley, you..." Rachel was crying and at that moment, unable to speak.

Holley looked at Rachel in the eye. She hoped that Rachel could find out the real murderer.

She had a lot of doubts about Rachel, but she had no other choice right now.

The only thing she could do was hope for the best.

"Ms. Bai, you go back first. I believe that the truth will come out one day, and that we can get together again," Holley said firmly.

Actually, she had guessed who the real murderer was. Once Rachel was out, all she needed to do was investigate Lance's wife. Then the truth would come out.

She believed she would soon be released after the murderer was caught.

Rachel immediately understood what Holley meant. However, she was uncertain about how to get to the bottom of the truth. She had no idea what to do next.

Even though Rachel was unaware of what to do, she could see that Holley needed her commitment.

Under Holley's intense gaze, Rachel hesitated and said, "Holley, you can rest assured. I'll find a way to fix this."

"I believe you, Ms. Bai."

At that moment, even the policeman admired Holley for confessing to the murder.

He was used to people fighting against each other in the police station to pass the blame on to others. Never before had they ever come across a voluntary confessor like Holley.

Both Holley and the police listened to Rachel, who was sobbing, as though she had depleted all of her strength to restrain herself.

Her crying was light yet very touching.
