Chapter 691


    Chapter 691 Making Deals With Me


    After a moment of silence, Sylvie''s chuckle could be heard. “You only have suspicions. If you had the evidence, you wouldn''t have your


    ssmate look for the test result at the DNA-testing center.”


    “I''m just curious. I wanted to find out how you''ve managed to get someone to swap the real report for a fake one at the DNA-testing center


    without having any power.”


    Perhaps Sylvie had been sure that the other woman would be dead soon, for she let down her guard and said, “You''re right that I''m powerless,


    but some people just love making deals with me.”


    Then, the next sound that came was the sound of a knife slicing through skin and the agonized groans of a woman.


    Cooper''s hand, which he rested on the table, clenched into a fist. The veins on the back of his hand popped. If not for him holding himself


    back to the best of his ability, he would have lunged toward Sylvie and broken her neck.


    A few minutester, Sylvie''s voice sounded out again. “I would''ve submitted to fate if Jack hadn''t made the deal with me back then. But he


    has presented me with a great life. How could I possibly say no to that? I know that he wants to use me to deal with Armand, but I''m willing


    to y the part to get what I want. Don''t me me for this but me Jack instead.”


    The recording was not long; it soon came to an end. However, it had been yed on speakers, so everyone in the area could hear it.


    By then, Sylvie looked as if she had seen a ghost.


    Back then, Jane hade alone, so Sylvie answered Jane''s questions as she was sure that Jane would bring her secrets to the grave.


    Yet, she never thought that Jane would have uploaded the recording in real-time.


    Even Herbert—a man who had always been calm and collected—could not help but stay transfixed for a long time. In fact, he even felt a chill


    run down his spine at Sylvie''sck of mercy.


    Then, he turned around to look at Sylvie.


    The elderly man said nothing, but Sylvie''s heart was thumping loudly against her ribcage nevertheless. She forced herself to stay collected as


    she argued, “While it''s true this is my voice, I''ve never said these things before. Someone must have recorded my voice and clipped it all


    together to make this! Genevieve, I know that you''ve always disliked me, but you can''t use me of this!”


    Sylvie then raised her hand and swore, “I''ll suffer a terrible death if I really did this—if I killed Jane.”


    Herbert''s lips parted, seemingly ready to say something about Sylvie''s oath.


    Right then, one of the housekeepers led a man in casual clothes into the front yard.


    The man then greeted Genevieve and Cooper.


    “I''m sure everyone knows who this man is. He''s a famous officer in Baykeep''s police force, Reece Olsen,” Genevieve introduced as she


    pointed at the man. “He''ll be able to tell us whether or not the recording is tampered with.”


    Sylvie was already digging her nails into her palms by then, but she dared not reveal any of her thoughts on her face.


    The Zeigler family was close to Baykeep''s police force. Furthermore, the police chief was good friends with Phineus. Naturally, Phineus knew


    who Reece was.


    Hence, he nodded and let Reece check the audio file.


    Reece then took out a cable to connect Genevieve''s phone to theputer. After a while of analyzing it on theputer, he said to Herbert


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    and the other Zeiglers, “This audio file is the original. There are no traces of any edits to it.”


    At that, Genevieve turned to Sylvie and asked, “Are you ready to concede, Sylvie?”


    Then, as she put her arms on the armrest of the wheelchair with a smile, she continued, “Forlisle Medical has just donated several pieces of


    advanced medical equipment to General Hospital of Baykeep. They''ll be able toe up with the result of the DNA test in five hours. Why


    don''t we take a trip to the hospital now?”


    Genevieve had arranged everything in such a meticulous way that Sylvie could not even find a single loophole to exploit.


    Just then, a loud crack of thunder came from the sky and made Sylvie shudder in fright.


    The gears in her head began going full steam ahead when she saw the dark and furious look on the elderly man''s face. In the next second, she


    went on her knees before Herbert.


    “You b*stard!” Herbert snapped, his chest heaving. “How can you toy with me like this?”


    “I''m sorry! I didn''t mean to trick you!” Tears rolled down Sylvie''s cheeks as she bawled. “I''m just too tired of being poor and want to live a


    good life, but I''m also doing this for my friend!”


    My friend is Ms. Juliana''s daughter, and her name is Ste.


    Herbert narrowed his eyes. “What did you just say?”
