At dawn, William was woken up by Marcus’ call.
"Mr.Howard, Ronald confessed to everything.Julie and Paxton were the murderers who killed
Natalie.The police are now asking Miss Brown to go over.What should we do..."
William suddenly sat up.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure.Please explain it to Miss Brown beforehand.I'm afraid that she won't be able to take it."
He remained silent.
Beside him, Valeria muttered to him in confusion , William, who is calling? Did they mention my mom
and dad?"
"Um...Valeria, something happened.You should get up first.We need to go to the police station."
Her sleepy eyes shot open.
"Why are we going to the police station?"
This was the first time William felt that it was hard to speak.
"Your dad...is now in the police station."
"What? Did something happen to him?"
She was not too surprised when she heard that Ronald was in the police station.
After witnessing his viciousness towards her the past few days, nothing surprised her anymore.
William reached out to help her put on her clothes and said, "Yes, something happened to your
dad.Let's go and check it out."
"Are you hiding something from me?"
This was the first time he had tried to avoid her gaze.
"William, tell me the truth.No matter what happens, I can bear it."
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth.Julie and Ashley hired people to kidnap you, so I asked someone to keep an
eye on Julie.Coincidentally, she met up with the person she was cheating on Ronald with, so I recorded
their conversation and sent it to Ronald.Long story short, your dad did things to punish them after
listening to the recording."
"Is that so? Was he arrested by the police because of this? This is not a big deal though, you didn't
have to hide it from me like that..."
She continued, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me? Don't hide it anymore.I can bear it!"
In the face of her continuous questions, William was forced to tell the truth.
"Your dad punished Julie and Ashley, so Julie's paramour, Paxton, rushed over to save them.However,
your dad turned himself in, and they all went to the police station for interrogation.Then, he confessed
to everything and said that he did it to avenge your mother because Julie and Paxton killed her."
"What? How...how is this possible?"
Valeria said with her eyes wide opened.
She wavered and almost fell down.
William reached out to hug her and asked, "Valeria! Are you okay?"
"I'm not feeling well...I'm feeling a little dizzy.I feel quite uncomfortable, I..."
"I understand! Baby, take a deep breath!"
He gently rubbed her chest.
"Don't be afraid.I'll be with you no matter what happens!"
She gasped for breath and calmed down after his endless comforting.
"William, come on, let's go and have a look now.I must know if this is true or not! Maybe my dad is
talking nonsense."
He put a coat on her and quickly pulled her out of the villa.
Bobby was already waiting for them by the car.
When he saw them coming out, he immediately opened the door.
William helped Valeria get on the car, and they drove straight to the police station.
On the way, she silently laid in his arms.
He did not say anything either.He was equally as shocked by the sudden situation.
Ronald claimed that Natalie was killed by Julie and Paxton.
Did he have evidence or was he talking nonsense? The possibility of him talking nonsense was not big.
After all, this was not a joke.
If Natalie was really killed by Julie, Ronald should have been aware of it all this time, rather than him
finding out about it today.
The reason why he chose not to say anything was because he also wanted to use Julie and Ashley in
his plans.
When he found out that Julie and her daughter were not as simple as he thought at all, he confessed
the truth.
William frowned when he thought about this.
If Julie and Paxton were the ones who killed Natalie, then Ronald was definitely not innocent either.
He must be the underlying culprit behind her death.
The car stopped at the entrance of the police station, and William took Valeria to the interrogation
room.
Ronald was still being interrogated in hand cuffs.
When he saw Valeria and William coming in, he lowered his head.
Valeria walked over to Ronald and asked, "Did Julie really kill my mother?"
"Yes!"
He spat out a reply.
"How did you know? When did you find out?" She asked.
"I overheard it in a phone call between her and her lover, Paxton.I didn't know about it until I overheard
them." He lied.
"Did you hear it by accident?"
She looked at him suspiciously.
He licked his cracked lips and said, "After I overheard their conversation, I interrogated her, and she
confessed to everything! To get my property, she poisoned Natalie with a drug that takes effect slowly,
and Natalie's condition led her to stay in the hospital.Then, she poisoned Natalie's IV drip in the
hospital, causing her death."
His words made Valeria tremble with anger.
Julie was so vicious.
No wonder she always thought that her mother's death was strange.
She was perfectly fine before but died suddenly.
She felt that Ronald had something to do with it, so she suppressed her anger and asked him in a
hoarse voice, "Where is the evidence?"
"The evidence was destroyed by Paxton, but Kyrie can testify."
Ronald had already discussed the plan with Kyrie.
Paxton broke in before the police arrived, so Ronald pushed the blame on Paxton.It was useless for
him to explain because Natalie’ s death did have something to do with Julie and Paxton.
"Really? Tell me honestly.Did you participate in plotting my mother's death?"
Valeria did not believe that he was innocent.
"It has nothing to do with me.How could I hurt your mother? I loved her so much..."
"You're lying! If you loved her, you wouldn't have had an affair after she fell sick! I suspect that you and
Julie were behind this."
She did not believe him.
"I'm not! I swear!"
"If swearing was useful, why would we need the police?"
She sneered.
"Officers, I suspect that my father has participated in the murder of my mother.I hope you can find out
the facts about this situation and give my mother an explanation"
William, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke up.
"This situation is really weird.I hope you can find out the truth.Isn't Paxton also part of it? Since Julie is
badly injured, Paxton can help out with the investigation instead"
The policemen smiled and said, "Rest assured, Mr.Howard.We will interrogate Paxton carefully.As long
as he did it, no matter how hard he is to interrogate, we will find out the truth!"
"That's good! Thank you for your hard work!"
"But I have something to tell Mr.Howard.Paxton has been using the Saunders family and Mrs.Howard
to protect himself from interrogation.This matter..."
"No matter who he is, you must get the truth out of him.If something happens, I'll take responsibility!"
"Okay, your statement is a big relief for us!"
