“So what if I did it? Do you have any evidence?” Winnie brazenly flashed a smug sneer. After being hit and in pain, she had nowhere to vent her anger.
At that moment, the only thing keeping her in a good mood was seeing Roxanne in a fury. Even if I get beaten up again, this b*tch won’t dare to hit me to death.
With that thought in her mind, she arched her brow. Sensing she could move her arm again, Winnie wiped her face and slowly got to her feet. “Roxanne, your mother has been dead for over a decade. Do you think you can still find any evidence? Even if you know I’m the culprit, what can you do about it? Hahaha! You can continue using your needles to inflict pain on me. Perhaps I’ll even get healthier after my pain receptors are repeatedly stimulated!”
Roxanne was stunned. Boundless rage churned within her chest, threatening to burst from her like a volcanic eruption. However, it was as if the outburst was stifled by something at the final moment before she blew up in anger.
Neither words nor actions were effective in dealing with an evil person like Winnie. That was Roxanne’s first time feeling her heart throbbing and aching from a fit of rage. Her breathing became uneven, and she couldn’t catch her breath.
Lucian sensed his wife’s abnormal state and quickly embraced her, whispering soothing words to comfort her. “Calm down. Don’t be anxious. I’ll find a way. I’ll definitely come up with a solution. Think about the children in your belly and try not to get too agitated. Darling, she’s deliberately goading you. Don’t fall for her trap.”
Roxanne’s vision darkened slightly, and her anger-induced rapidly rising blood pressure was causing her to feel dizzy. Fortunately, Lucian’s broad shoulders and warmth helped her gradually regain her composure.
As if exhausted, she caught her breath and panted heavily. She felt weak all over, and her body shuddered uncontrollably.
Lucian held her even tighter, his right hand covering her abdomen as he muttered, “Darling, don’t worry. The children won’t want to see you like this. Archie, Benny, Estella, Seward, and Noreen wouldn’t want you to be sad.”
Hearing the names of her five children, Roxanne felt a sudden surge of energy washing over her and reaching her limbs. Subsequently, she slowly calmed down.
However, Winnie continued to provoke her, “I never thought that after all these years, Grant would still find out about this. Regrettably, my scheme wasn’t perfect. Interestingly, your dad even wants to help cover up the truth. Roxanne, didn’t you save Grant’s life? How does it feel now? It’s not the first time he betrayed you, right? Hahaha!”
Her maniacal laughter was laced with ferocious malevolence. At that instant, Roxanne leaned against her husband’s chest, but she was already starting to pull herself together. Only a single thought remained in her mind. / will make Winnie pay for her crimes!
“Winnie, there is no statute of limitations for lawsuits in our country. As long as I can find evidence, your demise will be inevitable,” Roxanne replied indifferently.
Winnie showed no fear. Instead, a crazed and distorted expression spread across her face. “Really? In that case, I shall wait and see how you’ll make me meet my end.”
She snorted in utter disbelief. Over a decade has passed. What crucial evidence can Roxanne possibly find?
From the moment Grant noticed something abnormal about the medical record, Winnie had already made countless speculations in her heart. The medical record can only prove the case to be heavy metal poisoning. This case didn’t raise any alarm back then, so what is the significance of reexamining the corpse to ascertain the same cause of death again now? Ultimately, evidence plays a crucial role, either witness or physical evidence. Did anyone see what I did? No! As for those heavy metals, they were discarded long ago, and their whereabouts are unknown!
