The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1485

“I… I didn’t… I didn’t poison her!” Shannon stubbornly denied it to the end.

Axel ignored her denial, his tone heavy and stern. “Back then, you escaped from the crime scene in a panic but forgot to take this pill bottle with you. The case was ruled as a suicide, which made you let your guard down and not return to the scene.

“The Salvador family also sealed off that room, thinking it was haunted because someone died in it. Unexpectedly, their unintentional action helped the police preserve the crime scene to this day. The anti-depressants in this bottle were swapped out and left by Mary’s bedside. The residue of the pills was still inside the bottle. After investigating, it was not fentanyl, but cyanide.”

Cyanide?!

The crowd flew into an uproar. That was poison! Forget consuming it; even being in contact with it was lethal.

This woman was truly evil!

Shannon’s mind was in a mess.

A murderer like her finally got a taste of how it felt to be wrongfully accused, and she desperately tried to defend herself. “I didn’t! I didn’t use that to poison Mary! You’re framing me!”

“Framing you? If I did, can you explain why your fingerprints are on that bottle?”

Axel’s cold gaze was like a dagger. He pressed further. “Let me reconstruct the scene for everyone. After you entered her room, you found an excuse to trick Mrs. Salvador into taking her pills, causing her to die from poisoning. You were afraid of being exposed, so you threw her body off the balcony, disguising it as a suicide.”

Shannon shook her head madly, almost breaking down. “No… It’s not like that!”

Axel’s brows furrowed as he slammed the table. “Shannon, let me tell you that Mrs. Salvador’s body is still buried in the cemetery. As long as her family agrees, we could still extract her body for an autopsy. Even if she had only bones left, with the advanced technology now, we could still determine whether Mrs. Salvador died from impact or from poisoning.”
