Jennifer’s eyes were full of mockery and malice.
The interrogator kept a straight face. He needed to coax her to keep talking, no matter if what she said was true or not.
He had to suppress the rage boiling inside him.
"You claimed killing Frederic was unavoidable, then what about Wade and Sam? What's your excuse for those murders?" the interrogator continued to probe.
Jennifer leaned back slightly, lowered her head then started to snicker, "It was unavoidable too, of course. I'm just a frail woman, how could I possibly dare to kill two burly men unless it was my only option?"
"Same reason again?" the interrogator asked, full of disbelief.
Jennifer met his gaze as her smile slowly faded, "You don’t believe me?"
"From where I'm standing, it seems more likely that after you conspired to kill Frederic, you decided to poison them because you weren’t happy with how the wealth was distributed."
Jennifer’s eyes were fixed on the interrogator.
Images kept flashing in her mind.
Actually, her real targets before killing Frederic were the two scumbags, Wade and Sam.
Jennifer had tried to hurt Paige but failed, so she shifted her sights to the Scott family.
However, just dealing with the Scott family's security was tough enough, let alone trying to get close to Rosalynn's children who were always heavily guarded whenever they visited the Scotts.
Just when Jennifer thought she would never be able to carry out her plan, she stumbled upon Wade one night when she was scavenging for food.
What a nice coincidence.
Jennifer had seen Wade on patrol during her time with the Scotts.
The moment she saw Wade, a plan to infiltrate the Scott family using him began to form in her mind.
She first ran into him on his way home after he had a few drinks one day after his work. She pretended it was an accident.
Then she claimed that she hurt her leg and couldn't move, which is how she got Wade to take her home.
He didn't recognize her.
So, she came up with a sob story about being an orphan and a wanderer from out of town.
Before she could even ask for help, Wade immediately offered, “The place I’m working at is currently looking for temp workers. I could help you get a job there and if you do well, you might even be able to stay for good. Our boss is a decent guy, pays well and the benefits aren't too shabby.”
Jennifer pretended to be grateful and thanked him profusely.
Wade tried to force himself on her that night.
Jennifer wasn’t about to give her body up to a lowly security guard like Wade to preserve her dignity.
She tried to come up with an excuse to dodge him. But Wade was drunk and the more she resisted, the more excited he became.
In the end, she couldn't escape from that humiliating night.
At that moment, Jennifer made up her mind to kill the scumbag security guard!
But for now, she had to hold it in.
She still needed his help to get into the Scott family.
However, two days later, Wade came back and told her, “I ran into some issues while trying to get you a job, but our squad leader can sort them out. I will bring him over to see you tonight. If he thinks you’re capable, you can start work tomorrow or the day after.”
But Jennifer was too naive.
Whenever Wade was close to her, he would always say he wanted to marry her and she thought he genuinely liked her.
When Wade said that if the squad leader found her capable, she could get a job with the Scott family, she believed him entirely.
She even dressed up for the occasion.
However, when Sam arrived, she was caught off guard and subjected to another round of torment and humiliation.
But, Sam did keep his promise.
Two days later, she was assigned to the Scott family as a temporary maid.
And so, it began.
