Chapter 264


    Chapter 264 Someone was reced!


    Listening to my words, he became tense, looking at me and saying, “Tabatha, could it be that Henry’s


    death…”


    “I couldn’t clear my name.” I began, continuing, “This matter has been dragged on for so long, and no


    evidence has been found. All the evidence that exists now points to me, I might…”


    At this point, I felt a lump in my throat and took a deep breath, saying, “In any case, if I really can’t get


    out, you choose the best way to withdraw from the Conner Group for my mother and yourself. If the


    Conner Group goes bankrupt, the stocks and assets under my name may all be seized. I hope you can


    find a way to leave some retirement funds for my mother. You should also prepare in advance.”


    Once the Conner Group dered bankruptcy, most of its assets would be frozen, and it was very likely


    that the Conner Group would be heavily in debt.


    The only thing I could do was to remind Cory to prepare early to avoid getting involved. My biggest


    concern was my mother. She just lost her father, and now she has to face her daughter going to jail.


    Over fifty years old and having to deal with all this, I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle it in the


    future.


    Seeing me in such a state, Cory sped her hands tightly, looking at me and said, “Is there really no


    turning point for this matter? If I go to Mr. Hinton, or perhaps, if I plead with Mr. Monroe, they will


    definitely have a way to save you.”


    Seeing him say these things in his anxiety, I couldn’t help butugh, “Cory, my problem can’t be solved


    with money or power. Everything requires evidence. If there’s no evidence to prove my innocence,


    your


    going to them will only make things difficult for them.”


    At this point, I paused and said, “However, if the Conner Group really faces bankruptcy, you can go to


    Walter, he… should take over.”


    I knew that letting Walter take over the Conner Group at this time wasn’t a good idea, but the Conner


    Group was my father’s lifetime effort. In the end, if it was taken over by Walter, it wouldn’t be a bad


    thing.


    At this point, Cory could only nod helplessly in agreement. I was still worried about my mother. I looked


    at him and said, “Cory, please keep an eye on my mother’s side for me. I’m afraid something might


    happen to her there.” Although my mother was with Alexander, there was a high probability that nothing


    would go wrong.


    But after all, it was deep in the old forest. If any natural disaster urred, there was nowhere to hide.


    Not to mention, the terrain of Dracview was originally not very good. The disaster that year was a case


    in point.


    Cory nodded, chatted with me for a while, and then left.


    Ashley was determined to drag me down with him as he was dying, and due to higher-up connections,


    Captain Lucas could no longer continue to interrogate and question me.


    The one who was brought back to interrogate me was an indifferent- looking female police officer, who


    seemed to be in her forties. The wrinkles on her face were not too many, but her facial features w not


    pleasing.


    were


    Sitting across from me, she spoke directly, “Tabatha, regarding Henry’s death, is there anything else


    you need to exin?”


    Her words, her question, directly assumed that I was the killer.


    Looking at her, I said, “Ms. Merchant, I didn’t kill the person. I’ve told you everything I know without


    omitting a single word. You’ve already questioned me many times.”


    She looked at me, her eyes lined with ck eyeliner slightly squinted, “Do you think that as long as you


    haven’t killed anyone before you die, the police can’t do anything to you? Tabatha, don’t forget, the


    evidence we have now is already enough to convict you.”


    I pursed my lips, knowing that it all came down to this, and looked at her, saying, “Indeed, the evidence


    you hold is enough to logically analyze that I killed Henry. But tell me, does this prove that I was the


    one who killed him? Do you police always make conclusions so hastily?”


    “Presumptuous!” She suddenly raised her voice, ring at me, “You are fearless because Captain


    Lucas was too soft on you before, which made you so arrogant. Well, let’s see how capable you are.”


    After she finished speaking, she abruptly stood up and nced at the guard who had been standing


    outside my room. “You should know better than me what to do next,” she said. “She is here for


    questioning, not to enjoy herself. This police station is not that easy to get close to.”


    The two guards exchanged a nce, seemingly in agreement, and nodded towards her. Then, they


    watched her leave.


    I knew they would make things difficult for me next, but to my surprise, they didn’t resort to
