Chapter 355


    My body wobbled a bit, and it was Jacqueline who steadied me.


    Looking at Haley, her face pale and emotions running high, my heart skipped a beat. Had my words identally hit the mark?


    Truth be told, my usations were just conjectures, a shot in the dark. But now, Aiden''s death seemed not so straightforward after all.


    If Haley was indeed involved, or had orchestrated it, then this woman was terrifyingly cunning.


    No wonder Aiden''s parents were so harsh, berating her. There must have been a reason.


    "Haley, you''re looking guilty," I didn''t let her off the hook.


    I had her cornered, and it was time to reveal her true colors.


    Haley shook her head, denying the usations.


    I pressed on, "You plotted against Aiden because he became a stumbling block to your aspirations for wealth and status. Only with him gone could you chase after what you truly desired."


    "But you also knew chasing Conrad as a divorcee wouldn''t be a piece of cake. So, you set up a situation for Aiden to walk in on, betting that Conrad would be filled with guilt and take care of you no matter what after Aiden''s ident."


    "No, that''s not it," Haley screamed again.


    "Haley, whether it is or isn''t, you don''t get to decide. There will be evidence," I could tell she wasn''t used to doing dirty work.


    Otherwise, she wouldn''t be on the verge of a breakdown from a few pointed questions. Yet, she had caused someone''s death.


    "I didn''t want Aiden to die, I didn''t..." Haley''s pill bottle ttered to the floor as she sped her head, tormented.


    She hadn''t intended for Aiden to die, but he had.


    So, she was admitting Aiden''s ident wasn''t as idental as it seemed.


    A chill ran through me, my gaze

    Haley curled up, a picture of despair and agony.


    I had nothing more to say; the truth was clear.


    "You''re a dangerous woman. I will never let Rad end up with you," Jacqueline had pieced everything together, equally appalled.


    Haley slowly lifted her head, her lips pale. Her eyes bore into me, filled with venomous anger.


    She despised me for unveiling her scheme.


    After a moment, her re shifted to Jacqueline, issuing a threat, "Try to stop me, and we''ll all go down together."


    "Don''t you dare threaten me," Jacqueline retorted, fuming.


    Haley dropped the act, her smirkden with scorn, "Let''s see it."


    Her demeanor gave me a bad feeling. "Haley, what are you nning?" I asked.


    Haley''s response was icy, "Felicia, you think you''re so clever? Guess what I''ll do next."


    I clenched my fists, sensing trouble.

    Haley then turned to Jacqueline, adding, "I want to see Conrad within threedays, or else brace yourselves the drama." N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    With those words, she stood up and left.


    ??


    "I''ll be waiting. I''m eager to see what stunt you''ll pull next," Jacqueline was stubborn as a mule; there was no reasoning with her once she was provoked.


    Haley was desperate, a dangerous gleam in her eye as she walked out.


    "Take your stuff and go," Jacqueline said, picking up Haley''s dropped pill bottle, ready to chase after her.


    I stopped her, knowing how dangerous those pills could be. It wasn''t safe for anyone to handle them.
