Chapter 474 Trust Him Again
Ive told you just now, haven't 1?"
August loosened his grip on the photo and let what was remained burn and drop to the ground with the ashes. He then flicked the ashes between his fingers. He didn't even cast Hallie a glance. Then, he took out his phone and seemed to be dialing a number. Then, he put the phone to his ear and ordered, "It's about time. Do it..."
Hallie's panicked voice interrupted him. She sprang to her feet and shouted emotionally, "What... what the hell do you want! She never did anything to you"
"But you did something to me. Covering up crimes for the guilty. You know what you have committed? You, as a criminal yourself, are not in the position to judge me."
August's words rendered Hallie wordless.
After pondering, Hallie asked, "Can you really ensure my sister's and my safety?"
August said, "I am a man of honor."
Hallie hesitated after hearing what August had said. She clenched her fists and said, "I came to take the blame for another person. I really need that money for my sister. I have no other way. That man told me that as long as I go to jail for a woman, he will pay for all the medical and living expenses that my sister will need in the future... I had no other choice... August looked at Hallie sharply His idleness was nowhere to be seen. "Who is the man?"
"I don't know either We've only contacted each other through phone. Hallie shook her head, apparently panicked, "He threatened me that if I dare to let it slip, he will make me pay. What should I do!"
August frowned and remained silent for a long while At last, he said heavily, "I will keep you safe. I'll also send my men to your sister”
Hearing this, Hallie showed delight in her eyes She thanked August repeatedly, "Thanks.. thank you!"
August nodded to Hallie in silence. Though he had known that Hallie wasn't the murderer, he hadn't found any information of whomever was behind Hallie. It was still difficult for them to find out the truth
Lucia had known that Hallie was innocent. However, Hallie's innocence couldn't help prove the true murderer's guilt. Therefore, they were again stuck
August stood up and was to leave Lucia also heaved a sigh and followed him. Unexpectedly, Hallie suddenly shouted, "Wait"
Lucia and August turned around in unison, and Hallie hesitantly said, "In fact, I kept a recording for fear that the man eat his words and refuse to pay for my sister I recorded a part of a call...”
August saw hope "Where is your phone?"
"With my belongings The police had them Password is six zeros
Without any delay, August strode outside the room and obtained Hallie's belongs from Officer Rogers As expected, he found a phone
He turned on the phone and found a call recording recorded days ago.
Lucia stood beside August and also felt nervous. She looked August press the play button.
After some noise, a female voice was heard "How do you ensure that you can pay the medical bills on time? And I need to make sure that my sister could have a carefree life"
It was Hallie's voice
Seconds later, a male voice sounded "Don't worry You should know that we're people who dare to ask you to defy the law For our kind, we won't fuss over several coins or find troubles for ourselves After the lawsuit is settled, we will pay the medical expenses every three months We will visit you every week and show you videos of your sister and put you and her on the phone
The voice was somewhat familiar to Lucia
She couldn't remember the owner of the voice, but she knew that she had heard the voice somewhere
As she was trying to recollect her memories of the voice, August had said solemnly, "Mark Page” Lucia suddenly realized
it is indeed Mark Page.
She looked up and exchanged eyes with August. They both confirmed their guesses.
If they could confirm that the man in the recording was Mark, they could find out many things by following this clue!
It was an unexpected finding as well as a major breakthrough!
Lucia took a deep breath and calm herself down, Since it was Mark who asked Hallie to be the scapegoat, it would be easy to guess the person behind all these. The only person to whom Mark so devoted was Jeanne.
She had wanted to speak her conclusion out. However, when she realized that August was still beside her, she swallowed all her words.
Even if all evidences were against Jeanne, August might still do his best to defend her.
Thinking of which, Lucia felt a little disappointed. However, the silence was broken by August's question. "Who do you think it is?"
Lucia was slightly stunned by his question. The man's eyes were clear and showed resolution. He had no intention to hide it from her.
After a short hesitation, Lucia produced a mocking smile. "Will you believe my conclusion?”
He seemed to have guessed her thoughts. August said word by word, "It had been very clear, Lucia. I also have my conclusion.”
Lucia looked up and asked, "So, who do you think it is?"
August said, "I won't speak it out until we obtain solid evidence."
Hearing his words, Lucia sneered and felt bitterly disappointed.
They all knew that it was Jeanne. However, he still refused to put it on the table that Jeanne was guilty. It had been blatant partiality and defense.
Lucia took a deep breath and tried to keep herself off the influence of such thoughts. She regained coldness. "If that's the case, don't speak”
At this point, she had nothing to say to him. Neither did she want to hear a word from him.
She then walked fast towards outside.
When she reached the gate of the police station, she heard footsteps behind her. Then, her wrist was grabbed by someone.
She turned around and, when she found it was August who caught her, subconsciously tried to shake off his grip.
What's the point of his chasing out after defending his damn wife?
August landed his gaze on her and said, "Do you want to prove it with me?"
"Prove what?" Agitated and annoyed, Lucia shook off his hand.
"August said firmly and righteously. "To prove whether the person we thought of is the crime culprit.”
Lucia was stunned by his words
Is August going to find out if Jeanne is behind all this? With me?
Hasn't he been defending Jeanne?
Seeing that she stood still in silence, August repeated, "We cooperate to find the truth."
Lucia didn't know whether she should accept or refuse.
She didn't know which side he was in. Her side or Jeanne's side She didn't know and couldn't figure out.
However, at this moment, the man in front of her showed only purity in his eyes His eyes were so bright and so clear that she seemed to be able to see his heart through his eyes His heart was pounding with nothing but sincerity.
This time, she wanted to trust him again.
