598 Chapter 597
….
Keira’s eyes lit up slightly.
She suppressed the fervor in her chest and focused on Vera, awaiting her response.
Vera smiled, then suddenly pointed to her chest. “It’s right here.”
Keira was perplexed.
Only then did she realize she had been played, and she looked at Vera angrily. “Vera, we had an agreement. If you lost, you would tell me the truth!”
“Did we?” Vera smiled, “Besides, who says I lost?”
As soon as she said those words, someone knocked on the interrogation room’s door, and soon after, there was Holly’s voice. “Keira, open the door.”
Keira immediately stood up and walked to the door.
Upon opening the door, she saw Holly with a troubled expression. “Vera’s lawyer has arrived. They’ve arranged for bail pending trial.”
Keira frowned. “Can she be bailed out with the evidence we have?”
Holly took a deep breath and then took out some documents provided by the lawyer.
When the special division arrested Vera, they determined she was Fox, who was in direct contact with Susan and recorded the timestamps and logs of their every call.
At those timestamps, it was confirmed that Vera was on the phone, and Susan had identified Vera as Fox. Armed with presumably decisive evidence, the special division proceeded to arrest her.
However, the lawyer had provided proof that Vera wasn’t on the phone when Susan was talking to Fox.
For instance, during the first few calls between Susan and Fox, Vera was shopping at a mall, with security footage as evidence, without talking to anyone when Fox was on the phone.
All these pointed to one thing…
Vera stood up with a calm smile and looked at Keira. “Keera, I’ve told you, I’m not that murderer, Fox. You’ve wronged me.”
She spread her hands, making a nonchalant gesture.
Keira clenched her fists tightly. “If you’re not Fox, then who is?”
“Who knows?”
Vera laughed. “Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s her, or maybe it’s you. I do have an alibi, so can I go now?”
Her demeanor was arrogant and willful.
Keira said nothing as Holly took a deep breath and stepped forward to unlock Vera’s handcuffs.
Vera came over and glanced at Holly with a sneer. “I’m going to sue you for wrongful arrest; you just wait for your punishment!”
Holly scoffed. “I will take responsibility for my actions.”
Vera clicked her tongue twice and then smiled. “With such confidence, are you sure you’ll be all right?”
Holly remained silent.
Then Vera looked at Keira. “Rabbit, did you think I would be exposed so easily? You’re so naïve. You can’t beat me! On the battlefield of Crera, the ultimate victor will only be me!”
“Once the DNA test results from the Martin family come out tomorrow, you’ll be utterly defeated, along with your poisoned father…”
Vera tilted her head and suddenly laughed. “If you had lost and come to beg me, perhaps I would have given you the antidote. But now that you’ve done this, heh, I’m going to enjoy watching you cry.”
As she said the last sentence, her face suddenly darkened, becoming sinister and ominous. Her gaze was fierce and merciless.
Keira seemed to be infuriated, her complexion changing drastically.
Seeing this, Vera arrogantly raised her head and walked out.
The anger on Holly’s and Keira’s faces subsided after she left, and Holly looked at Keira. “I didn’t expect that she wasn’t Fox.”
Keira nodded.
She had always felt that Fox operated with a hidden agenda, never directly confronting anyone and always manipulating others.
But Vera was overtly overbearing and arrogant.
At the Martin family’s engagement party, her unhidden thrill of victory made Keira feel that Fox wouldn’t be so impatient.
They couldn’t investigate every single thing Vera was up to, but Keira deliberately used Susan’s testimony to set Vera up as Fox.
If Vera wanted to leave, she had to prove she wasn’t Fox…
If she was Fox, then she’d be stuck here.
If she wasn’t Fox, then Fox certainly had to be someone else; it was a form of probing.
As Keira suspected, Vera, indeed, wasn’t Fox.
But if Vera wasn’t Fox, then why would she impersonate Fox? And Susan’s insistence on identifying Vera as Fox…
Were Fox and Vera working together?
Or perhaps Fox was Vera’s superior?
That didn’t seem right…
After all, like herself, Fox also received a mission to forge an alliance with the Martin family through marriage. If Vera wasn’t Fox, then Fox would certainly have to find a way to marry Scott Martin.
But so far, only Vera was trying to win him over.
Keira pondered for a moment, unable to figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking and looked at Holly. “Will this cause any trouble for you?”
Holly said, “Don’t worry, my father will handle it; it won’t be an issue.”
Keira breathed a sigh of relief.
Holly’s parents were both forensic doctors, and she herself had always aspired to be a forensic doctor, but Keira knew there was more to her family’s background.
Holly’s grandfather seemed to be quite formidable…
That was why Keira asked for Holly’s help.
Just as Keira was thinking, Holly suddenly looked at her with a serious expression. “Keira, I found the South family’s files in the archives.”
Keira’s pupils contracted. “What did you find?”
