Episode 294
Irene quickly rose to her feet, asking Ricky, “You’re hurt! Why did you come here? What’s with that look?” Ricky’s eyes were welling with tears, and he appeared unable to speak.
Beside him, Sheryl said, “The police just came, saying that they’re closing the case on Samantha White, and requesting that we claim her body from the morgue.”
“What?!” Irene exclaimed in shock.
Why would the police close the case on Samantha?
However, it made sense when she really considered it-the culprit would naturally want that since they/ had failed to pin the crime on Isaac.
As Irene walked up to Ricky and helped him stand, he told her, “The police said that the verdict will be formally announced at court tomorrow. Will you come with us?”
“Definitely-the culprit would definitely be worried about leaving a mess. That’s why they want it to end soon.”
“But can I really find them if they close the case?” Ricky was almost hysterical.
“Of course, once we have evidence to build a case,” Irene told him. “But right now, we have nothing to go on at the moment, let alone how they got your mother out of prison. That means we have to accept that for the moment, and wait for them to let their guard down before reopening the case.”
“It must be the person I saw!” Ricky snarled with spite.
Irene clapped him on the shoulder to calm him. “Right now, you need to get better. Once you’ve recovered, we’ll work together to find your mother’s killer.”
“Yeah.” Ricky nodded.
In a certain mansion, a man was holding a woman in his arms and assuring her, “Alright, calm down. Things didn’t go as planned, but they still don’t know who you are. We wouldn’t have gotten off this easy either if Isaac Jefferson wasn’t busy with family issues, so just lie low for a while.”
