Chapter 730 Who Is The Real Murderer (1/2)
Since Essie gave birth to the baby prematurely, Albert ordered to seal the secret passage. He also took the security guard to do a thorough examination in the house with an infrared detector in case of any other undetectable security loopholes.
According to steward Zhang's secret report, after interrogating Peri's roommate, Mary sent someone to her hometown to investigate her brother.
After careful consideration, Essie decided to come straight to the point and ask Mary about it. If she had any ulterior schemes, she would take it as a warning and strangle her in the cradle.
In the evening, she invited Mary to the study, poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her. ”Mommy, I heard that you have been very concerned about Peri recently. A person like her deserves more than death. You don't have to feel guilty.”
The corners of Mary's mouth twitched fiercely. She did it so secretly, but she still found it. It seemed that she had almost controlled the Rong Mansion in just a few scores of days.
”She has nothing to do with me. Why should I feel guilty? On the contrary, some people in this mansion used her and killed her to keep the secret. They don't have any mercy at all. They are simply cold-blooded.” Mary sighed heavily, with a kind look on her face.
”Mommy, what do you mean?” Essie asked slowly, pretending not to understand. That was why Mary was sent to the cold palace. If she wanted to go back to the Rong family, she had to prove herself innocent. So now she was probably putting all her intention to this matter.
”Essie, I know very well whether I have involved in the secret passage plot or not. I don't know there is a secret passage in that yard at all. How could I plan such a plot? I won't allow anyone to frame me up. I will try my best to find out the truth. Don't try to stop me,”
Mary said in a firm tone, as if declaring war on Essie. She had planned to perfunctorily talk to Essie on the surface and secretly carry out an investigation plan. Since Essie had found out, she didn't have to beat around the bush.
Taking a sip of the black tea, Essie said with a cold smile, ”Mommy, don't try to confuse right from wrong.”
”What? Are you afraid? You made it up and acted, didn't you? You set me up with this trick and kicked me out of the Rong Mansion. ” Mary's two thick eyebrows twisted in a straight line in anger, and her breath bulged heavily in her chest.
A touch of anger flashed across Essie's face. ”I love and take care of my Dawny like a treasure. I will never do anything to hurt him, let alone allow anyone to hurt him! But you, in order to avenge me, have been so cruel to hurt your own grandson. It's unforgivable. ”
