Chapter 461: Lira''s Confession


    “Bill, what are you talking about?” Arabe was shocked by Bill’s rming words.


    She knew Bill would not give her a false usation, not even the smallest joke but she also knew and


    she believed that Lira would never be a danger to her.


    She had known Lira for a very long time now and Lira never left her side.


    Lira was a big help to her.


    Lira was an orphan and she epted Lira when she decided to work for her and experienced the world

    outside.


    Arabe could vouch that Lira was a good person and a good friend.


    “Listen carefully to me. Lira is the one who got Trishia’s detonator and blew the entire hall.” Bill


    continued in a serious tone.


    His voice was giving her a huge warning that she should be aware of a great danger around her.


    He would never talk any nonsense against one person, especially to a woman.


    Bill was always busy and time for him was so precious.


    He would never waste it in talking such nonsense.


    Arabe felt her heart beating fast as she gazed at Lira secretly.


    Bill would not take extra effort to call her and warn her about Lira.


    She studied Lira who was busy working at the front desk.


    Her face was blooming and full of spirit while doing her thing.


    The same Lira she had known for a very long time.


    Her smile was divine.


    Her eyes were telling her mood.


    Pure and innocent.


    Lira was an honest person.


    She was a fast learner and took work seriously.


    She also loved Adam and Arabe saw how Lira took care of Adam.


    Arabe stared at Lira for a long time but still, she could not make herself believe Bill’s usation.


    Lira was not going to do it.


    She was innocent.


    Her eyes, her beautiful eyes had no trace of wickedness.


    It couldn’t be Lira.


    She was just being used mistakenly.


    “Bill, listen. She cannot do that. She is my friend and I know her very well. She’s the type of person that


    could not even kill a fly or mosquito. So, please stop using her.” Arabe could not help but defend


    her friend, Lira.


    “Lira brought herself to the orphanage because she was hiding there. She had a criminal record and


    based on her medical records, she had a major depressive disorder which could cause her to do awful


    things. Do you get me?” Bill’s voice was impatient.


    He obviously didn’t like Arabe’s reaction though he was already expecting this.


    Hearing Bill, Arabe was taken aback.


    She never mentioned to Bill that Lira came from the orphanage but he knew about it.


    Surely, Bill''s men dug Lira''s information already.


    Her mind was caught in a deep mess as Lira’s pure and innocent smile earlier shed across her mind


    when she announced the mayor’s invitation.


    She still could not believe it when three police mobiles stopped in front of their school.


    “Bill… you can be wrong.” Arabe dropped the call as she sounded strongly refusing to believe Bill.


    Arabe was rmed seeing the cops entering the vicinity.


    Some stayed outside like lookouts while four cops were walking toward their office.


    Arabe looked at Lira nervously.


    They could see the cops striding to their office through a ss door.


    Lira didn’t stop working.


    She wasn’t bothered by the cops.


    “Lira…” Arabe called her out but Lira didn’t face her.


    She continued working on her table when the door pushed open.


    The four cops entered and quickly show their badges.


    “We are looking for Lira Thompson. We are arresting you for the bombing in NYZ Hall.” The officer


    directly caught Lira.


    Lira didn’t look at the officer but it was obvious that she heard him.


    She took her time to finish her writing and then her eyes looked at Arabe.


    Lira was calm.


    She had no trace that she was scared or nervous about the cops arresting her.


    One could easily say that Lira was waiting for them.


    She seemed to know that they wereing to arrest her.


    Arabe was petrified.


    She was lost with Lira''s reaction.


    Lira''s eyes were empty but they were saying goodbye to a friend.


    Lira was saying goodbye to her.


    Arabe’s heart was clenched hard.


    Without any dy, she quickly went to Lira.


    “Officer, I know you are just doing your job but, I know her. She could not do that. She is my friend. A


    very good friend. She cannot kill people. Lira is innocent and I can vouch for that, officer!” Arabe did


    what she needed to do.


    She had to tell the truth and defend Lira at any cause.


    “Ms. Jones, please step back. Shreds of evidence will not lie. We have her fingerprint.” The officer


    quickly grabbed Arabe away from Lira.


    In this kind of situation, they were aware that the suspect would hostage someone to escape.


    A person that could kill people was the most dangerous.


    “No! You are mistaken!” Arabe didn’t surrender to defend Lira as she shouted firmly and she tried to


    struggle. "She is innocent! She could not kill people! I know her!" Arabe had gone hysterical as she


    could not control her surging emotion.


    She was angry with the situation about Lira being used of bombing and killing people.


    She could not just stand and watch Lira dragged outside by these cops.


    “Ms. J!” Finally, Lira spoke calmly.


    She butted in and stopped Arabe''s noisy yelling.


    Lira''s expression was calm like she was unaffected by all the ruckus and the usation.


    Arabe stopped and looked at Lira seriously and was full of pity.


    Lira smiled at her.


    Arabe was shocked.


    She didn''t like Lira''s smile.


    She could not exin why Lira was smiling in spite of the huge trouble.


    Why she could smile in a situation like this?


    Lira then raised her arms willingly to the cops for handcuffing.


    “Lira?” Arabe could only utter her name.


    She could not believe everything she saw.


    Her brain seemed to malfunction.


    “Ms. J, I already confirmed your performance with the mayor’s office. I hope you the best of luck in your


    performance.” Lira announced with a smile on her face.


    Her expression was empty.


    With that, Lira simply didn''t want to talk about the situation she was in.


    “Lira?” Arabe was rooted in her spot.


    She called Lira''s name again.


    She wanted an exnation over anything.


    She could not find her calm seeing Lira was now being handcuffed by the cops and was ushered


    outside the premise.


    “Wait!” Arabe shouted.


    She was against the cops handcuffing and taking Lira.


    She still believed that Lira was innocent and everything was a mistake.


    The cops were mistaken.


    Bill was mistaken.


    “Lira, you can’t go with them if you are not guilty.” Arabe talked to the girl who was willing to go with


    the cops. “Lira, say something to them. They will not take you. Just tell them you are innocent!”


    Arabe demanded firmly.


    She was angry.


    She wanted Lira to defend herself.


    Lira should know that she was her friend and she could count on her.


    Arabe would not just sit and wait for Lira’s return.


    She believed Lira could not kill people.


    She was willing to help her even if she had to beg Bill Sky.


    Arabe knew Bill could help her with his powerful connections.


    She would not hesitate to do that for Lira.


    After Arabe’s words, Lira faced Arabe.


    Her eyes were serious meeting Arabe’s worried eyes. “ Ms. J…” Lira uttered in a serious polite tone.


    She didn’t like it as she felt something in Lira’s stare.


    “I… I am guilty.” Lira confessed firmly meeting her serious eyes.


    Arabe was stunned.


    She could not utter something.


    Lira had confessed but her mind could not ept Lira’s confession.


    “No… you are just saying that because you are scared. Don’t be scared, Lira. Okay? I will help you. I


    will do everything to help you out! Okay?” Arabe pitied Lira as she shook her head repeatedly in


    disbelief.


    Just thinking that Lira would sleep inside a prison, her heart clenched.


    “Ms. J! I killed those people! I am a killer.” Lira confessed again in front of the cops and Arabe.


    Arabe was taken aback again.


    How could Lira say this?


    She was so troubled by Lira’s confession.


    “No! You can’t! You can’t kill.” Arabe refuted but Lira smiled at her. “You don’t know me well. I am that


    kind of person. I am a criminal and I can kill.” Lira put an end to Arabe’s denial.


    “Please bring me to the station now,” Lira asked the officer.


    Arabe still could not ept Lira''s confession.


    She looked at Lira who turned around to leave together with the cops willingly.


    “Lira, you are not a criminal. You are a family to me. Remember that.” Arabe sounded sincerely


    behind.


    She had to gather herposure as she felt like breaking down already.


    The weather was fine and the atmosphere was vibrant when she went into the office earlier.


    They were chatting andughing in the absence of Damien.


    They even received a piece of good news from the mayor but in just a blink of an eye, everything


    changed.


    Arabe felt she was caught in a bad dream.


    Hearing Arabe, Lira stopped for a while.


    Then she closed her eyes.


    Her tears suddenly dripped down from the corners of her eyes.


    Her smile faded and her expression turned gloomy.


    "Goodbye, Ms. J." Lira didn''t turn around to see Arabe again as she uttered firmly.


    Then, she continued walking out with the cops behind her.


    Arabe was left frozen on her spot.


    She could feel her cold sweats appear everywhere in her body.


    She just hoped she was just dreaming as she could still not believe what happened to Lira.


    Lira had no intention to blow up the entire hall which took many people’s lives.


    It was insane and only a psychopath could do that.


    Lira was not like that.


    Arabe was firmed that Lira could not do that.


    She could not find her calm as she quickly took her phone and dial Damien.


    Damien should know about what happened to Lira.


    Damien knew Lira better.


    He could testify about Lira’s character to the police.


    They both knew Lira for a long time.


    “Damien, pick up the phone!” Arabe’s body was trembling.


    She was still traumatized by what just happened in her office.


    She called Damien but his phone just kept on ringing.


    Damien was not picking up.


    Arabe had no choice but to go to Damien’s house with Bill’s men but before she could get inside her


    car, a ck sports car arrived.


    Arabe stood frozen as her men immediately bowed.


    Bill quickly got out of his car wearing his ck sunsses.


    He strode like a sexy model in the magazine.


    Tall and handsome.


    Arabe could not help but gulp as he wasing closer to him.


    “Where do you think you’re going?” Bill’s impatient voice snapped Arabe back to her senses.


    She quickly fixed herself as she was worried that her saliva went out of her mouth or she dropped her


    jaw as she stared at the stunning man while he was walking forward towards her.


    She also touched her cheeks to bnce her temperature.


    “Bill… you are here.” She uttered surprised by his appearance.


    The butler informed herst night that Bill was gone for 7 days but howe he was now in front of


    her?


    “Hmm… you are not answering my question, Arabe.” Bill took out his sunsses and his serious


    eyes bore into her.


    “I’m… I’m going to Damien’s house. Lira was arrested. He should know about this but he was not


    answering his phone so I am thinking to get him.” Arabe answered truthfully.


    “Oh… I just went abroad and now you are thinking of going to another man’s house,” Bill uttered with


    his eyes teasing her.


    “Bill, Lira is important to me. I don’t want her to be arrested. She is a good friend to me and Adam.”


    Arabe had no time for Bill’s teasing. She felt she had no time to spare.


    She had to rescue Lira.


    Bill quickly grabbed Arabe’s arms. “Listen, let’s talk inside the car.” Bill then dragged her to his car.


    Arabe followed obediently.


    With the shocking happenings earlier, she had no energy to argue or refuse Bill Sky.


    She sat on the passenger seat dispirited as she heaved a heavy sigh.


    One could easily say that she was very problematic right now.


    Bill got inside his car.


    A deafening silence quickly invaded inside.


    Arabe was still caught in her big dilemma.


    She could not understand what was happening and she was firm that Lira was not a killer.


    She could not kill and do horrible things like that but she admitted the crime which made Arabe’s


    brain want to explode.


    Why did Lira admit the crime?


    What was her reason?


    Arabe was wracking her brain to find that reason but she could not get any conclusion.


    She would have a serious headache just thinking of Lira’s case and confession.


    “Bill, I know Lira is innocent.” Arabe sounded trying to get his side in Lira''s case.


    "I know," Bill answered which gave Arabe another shock.


    She looked at Bill with the biggest question mark on her face.


    Bill looked in front with an empty stare as he remembered something.


    "Bill Sky?" Bill met Lira privately.


    Bill''s men took her and brought her to a private room.


    After the tragic event, Lira seemed to expect this.


    "I know why I am here. Yes. I am the culprit." Lira quickly admitted. She was smart enough to know why


    Bill was seeing her privately.


    "I don''t believe you," Bill answered inly.


    Lira suddenly knelt in front of him.


    Her expression was in big trouble.


    Her face suddenly got pale.


    Bill couldn''t be easily deceived.


    "Bill Sky, please... I am begging you. No one knows about me but you. I don''t want to hurt my friends.


    They are already my family through times. Please my secret is safe with you. Please... I beg you." Lira


    embraced her courage as she pleaded like it was a matter of life and death.


    Bill looked at her and studied her carefully.


    "Your secret is safe with me, but why did you do it?" Bill asked with a stern tone.


    "I have my reason. And that''s all I can say." Lira was firmed.


    Bill seriously looked at Lira again and left her kneeling.


    "Lira... she is protecting someone." After remembering his encounter with Lira, Bill uttered.


    Hearing Bill, Arabe was dumbfounded.
