Chapter 310 Ineffective


    Emelie took a deep breath and turned to Soliaonce more. She asked eamestly, “Mrs. Navarro, have you had any recent conflicts with someone<b>?</b>”


    Sohaheld her head in pain. “My mind is a mess right now. I can’t recall. I really can’t remember anything.”


    Embe handed her a tablet. “I had Maria retrieve the surveince footage fromst night, and I’ve taken screenshots of every guest who had gone upstairs. Take a look and see if


    of these people might hear a grudge against you and would harm your children.”


    Sofiascrolled through the screenshots one by one. Alter viewing several images, she suddenly stopped, and her eyes widened with certainty<b>. </b>“It’s her! It has to be her!” Emelie saw a young woman on the screen. “Who is she?


    Sedia gritted her teeth with resentment. “She’s my sister. She’s always been envious of me for marrying Sean.


    “She takes advantage of her mother’s favoritism to constantly undermine me. There’s no way she visited my children out <b>of </b>kindness. She must be the one behind this!” Emelie was puzzled. Favoritism from her mother? Weren’t they biological sisters?


    However, this detail was unimportant at the moment Identifying the culprit was the priority


    She advised, “People like her, who harbor malicious intent butck the courage, will usually confess when threatened. You can tell her that you have evidence and that if she doesn’te clean, you’ll involve the police to obtain biological evidence so that she won’t be able to escape. That way, she’ll likely contess everything.”


    Sofiatightened her grip on the tablet. “I don’t need your advice. I know how to seek justice for my children!”


    With that said, Emelie had nothing more to contribute. Or perhaps, she had never truly been involved in the first ce. She had simply been caught in the crossfire. Despite being dragged into this mess, her insignificance to the situation meant that she couldn’t do much.


    “It seems that the issue is resolved. Mrs. Navarro, you can exin everything to Mrs. Matilda tomorrow. I won’t trouble you any further,” Emelie stated.


    William lifted his gaze. “Are you leaving now?”


    Emelie swallowed, feeling a lump in her throat. “I <b>have </b>work tomorrow, and the Navarro residence is too far from the office. It’s inconvenient”Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    William appeared ready to speak, but Elena quickly stood up and grabbed his sleeve. “William, why don’t you arrange for the driver to take Emelie home? It’ste, and I’m worried,


    she suggested.


    William had noticed Emelie’s distracted demeanor throughout the evening. “I’ll arrange for the Navarro family’s driver to take you back,” he offered.


    While Elena had only intended to assert her influence, William had genuinely considered her suggestion. Previously, he wouldn’t have cared about Emelie’s well–being.


    Emelie took <b>a </b>slow breath, her emotions tinged with bitterness at that moment Illness had left her feeling more fragile and emotionally vulnerable than usual.


    She murmured softly, “That won’t be necessary. Tean hail a cab on my own.”


    Without making eye contact with anyone<b>, </b>she nodded and departed. William had initially considered stopping her, but for some reason<b>, </b>he refrained. Emelie walked away without any further dy.


    William left the study and noticed Emelie gripping the banister as she descended the stairs, heading straight for the front door.


    Was she in such a hurry to leave because of him? She hadn’t nced in his direction all evening


    Feeling irritated, William retrieved his cigarette case and took out a cigarette, considering lighting it. However, <b>upon </b>tecalling the presence of two children upstairs at the Navarro residence, he set the cigarette back into its case.


    Elena emerged from the study and informed William, “Mrs. Navarro has gone to rest”


    William nodded. “Thank you.”


    Elena smiled and <b>said</b>, “I was simply helping Mrs. Navarro to calm down. It’s no trouble at all.”


    “Well, as a woman, you’d probably understand her feelings better,” William replied.


    Sofia’s demeanor in the downstairs living room moments ago indicated that if Elena hadn’t calmed her down first, she wouldn’t have cooperated with Emelie to identify the true culprit of the poisoning. That was precisely why he had sent Elena there earlier.


    Under the night lights, Elena’s exotic features stood out as she locked eyes with him. “But William, I’m puzzled. If you were with Ms. Howenst night, why didn’t you testify for her in front of Mrs. Mariust now?”


    William chuckled. “Would my testimony have made a difference?


    Elena hesitated. Could his testimony truly have been ineffective?


    No, that couldn’t be right. Given William’s identity, if he had spoken up, even Matilda would have shown respect to him and let her off the hook


    So, why did he remain silent? Clearly, he wanted to help Free as well.
