Two Brides, One Tragic Twist novel Chapter 7

Harvey subconsciously ruled out any and all suspicion toward Hannah on account of their relationship as childhood friends and the fact that she had been his crush for many years.

However, his movements grew increasingly impatient.

Iris and I watched him mockingly as he ruffled his hair irritably before finally calling the taxi company to ask for information on the driver from that day.

Coincidentally, the taxi driver had also resigned the same day. It was as if he and the truck driver had agreed upon it beforehand.

That many coincidences would not just happen consecutively in this world. The more coincidences that came together, the more suspicious things seemed.

After obtaining the taxi driver's details, Harvey arranged for officers from the station to arrest the former immediately.

Ultimately, they intercepted the driver at an airport. He had been preparing to leave the country.

According to the police, the driver had even been wearing a Rolex on his wrist when they apprehended him.

How could a taxi driver earn enough to afford it? The answer was as clear as day.

When I heard the news, I clenched my fists tightly. My fingernails dug deeply into my palm, and the constant pain lit my nerves ablaze.

The despair I felt on the brink of death that day replayed in my mind endlessly.

Iris was the closest person to me and, therefore, the first to notice that I was having a breakdown.

She hurriedly reached out to pat me gently on the back in order to calm me down.

After the taxi driver was brought back to the police station, his legs almost gave out from fright, as he had never been in such a situation before.

He confessed everything he knew, wishing only for a reduced sentence.

We watched as a middle-aged man cried in front of the police, snot and tears running down his face.

He said that he had believed in the words of a woman who told him to turn sharply in front of a truck at a specific time.

He had not expected his actions to result in casualties. He had been so frightened that he abandoned his car and fled the scene.

After returning home, he did not dare leave his house for three whole days.

He had been glued to the news nearly every moment. He let down his guard when he saw that nobody had reported on or even mentioned the incident.

That woman had told him to take the money and leave immediately after the incident.

However, he did not listen to her advice, thinking that he could continue to stay in the area since the incident was over.

It wasn't until the woman had contacted him two days ago that she realized that he had not yet left. She scolded him thoroughly.

She warned him to leave the country overnight if he did not want to end up in jail.

Realizing that I had reported him to the police after my hospital discharge, he rushed to exchange his money for foreign currency without even packing.

He had gone to the bank to withdraw money before rushing straight to the airport, not expecting to be arrested by the police on the spot.

Everyone in the interrogation room fell silent upon hearing his testimony.

How cruel and heartless did a person have to be for them to act against a pregnant woman who was close to giving birth?

The perpetrator had not been after the child at all. Instead, they had been after my life.

If Iris had not suddenly said that she wanted to drink milk tea, we might have both died that day!

The casualties would have numbered two bodies and four lives.

Harvey was rooted to the spot.

Perhaps he had not expected there actually to be a perpetrator behind the car crash. But now that the truth was right in front of him, he felt as if the world he knew had collapsed around him.

I personally retrieved the bank transaction records of both drivers.

The culprit was bright and had transferred the money through several different bank accounts before making the final transaction.

However, Harvey still managed to trace it to its source.

The bank account belonged to Hannah Chandler, and the money was transferred from overseas through the card she used abroad.
