Chapter 929: Chapter 929: Who Speaks the Truth, Who Lies
“Slander? You really have the nerve to say that.” Joseph Sanders was furious, who knows how much effort he used to suppress the rage inside him.
The enemy who hurt his sister was right in front of him, yet he had no way to immediately deliver the punishment she deserved.
Emma Winton lowered her eyes, gently rubbed her temples, looking weak, “Do you have any other questions? I’m not feeling well, the doctor said I need more rest, so if there’s nothing else, I’m going to rest.”
She knew that the more you speak, the more mistakes you make, so Emma Winton didn’t want to say more.
Wyatt Lewis called in the cleaner who came to testify, who was still insisting on proving that what she said was the truth, “Really, I’m not lying to you, I swear everything I just said is the truth.”
Sister Leah sneered coldly, “I’m telling the truth too, or are you saying I’m lying?”
“You! You!” The cleaner was so angry she was at a loss for words.
“Enough, stop arguing.” Wyatt Lewis fixed a cold gaze on Emma Winton.
They were too eager to seek justice for Zoey Sanders and forgot that without sufficient evidence, they couldn’t do anything about Emma Winton.
“She won’t confess without evidence.” Wyatt Lewis said in a deep voice.
Emma Winton lightly pursed her somewhat pale lips, “I still say the same thing, I won’t admit to something I didn’t do…”
“Oh, is that so? Then how do you explain the drop of blood in the warehouse?” Hope Williams’ voice came in clearly from outside.
Hope Williams, in a dark brown trench coat, hands in pockets, walked in briskly. You could tell she rushed over, but her breath was still steady.
Emma Winton’s palms clenched tightly when she saw Hope Williams, a subconscious reaction of nervousness.
Emma Winton glanced at Owen Winton.
They both knew that Hope Williams had a very keen eye, not someone easy to fool.
Hope Williams’ gaze slightly swept over the situation in the room, her eyes fell on the two confrontational women, and she smiled lightly, getting a sense of the situation.
It seemed her guess was correct, without solid evidence, who could say who was telling the truth just from words alone.
Owen Winton naturally understood this principle, so he exploited this loophole.
“Just got here, can anyone explain to me what just happened?” Hope Williams asked.
Aria Richardson clearly recounted the events to Hope Williams.
Hope Williams nodded, “I see.”
“According to what you said, then how do you explain the drop of blood in the warehouse?”
Emma Winton tugged at her lips, her eyes rolling in their sockets, “What blood?”
“You cleaned the scene very well, but once something is done, traces are left behind. There’s a drop of Zoey’s blood left in the warehouse, indicating that Zoey was indeed dragged into the warehouse, which corresponds with what this lady said. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, how could she describe the situation accurately?” Hope Williams looked at Emma Winton with a calm voice.
The cleaner nodded earnestly, quickly and forcefully.
Sister Leah was a bit flustered at the moment, subconsciously looking at Owen Winton.
Owen Winton gave her a look, and Sister Leah clenched her hands, suppressing the unease in her heart.
Emma Winton pulled at her lips, speaking, “We don’t know what you’re talking about, nor do we know if it’s true or not, we haven’t done it, debts must be paid by those who owe them, find whoever did it yourselves.”
“Exactly, just because there’s a drop of blood in the warehouse, does that prove the two of us did it?” Chloe Woods couldn’t help but raise her head to question.
Hope Williams smiled, “Having a drop of blood in the warehouse indeed can’t prove that you two did it, but it can prove which one of these two ladies is telling the truth and which one is lying.”
Owen Winton’s eyes darkened, making it hard to discern what he was thinking.
The room fell into silence.
Sister Leah anxiously tried to explain, “I’m telling the truth, I clearly saw these two ladies leave directly.”
Hope Williams’ elegant eyebrows raised slightly, a hint of amusement in her eyes, “Is that so? Alright then, let me ask you, you were cleaning the restroom, did you hear any commotion outside?”
“No, I didn’t hear anything, I was quite focused on cleaning.”
“Oh, if you were so focused, then how could you remember so clearly the exact time when Emma and the others came, when they left, and how long they cried, and be so certain about it?”
“I…” Sister Leah opened her mouth, “because I was deliberately keeping an eye on them.”
“One moment you say you were focused on cleaning, the next moment you were deliberately watching them for half an hour, you really are focused,” Hope Williams said with a mocking laugh.
Sister Leah’s eyes kept dodging.
“Lady, making false statements carries legal consequences, you should think carefully.”
The cleaner also quickly said, “Exactly, I advise you to speak the truth, you didn’t see anything, the person who really saw it was me, you must have taken their money.”
