Chapter 50: The Evidence Was Gone
Pierce’s face was somber, his gaze deep and dark, and the hand holding the apple paused slightly.
It seemed that there was a hint of reluctance gathered between her eyebrows.
Sophia stared at the two people in front of her and chuckled lightly:
“Could you please go out and talk? Just looking at you guys was already quite a downer.”
Pierce gave her a profound look, his thin lips tightly pressed together, then he stood up.
He reached out to adjust the blanket for Sophia, and wanted to casually brush her hair, but Sophia turned her head away to avoid him.
She was somewhat repulsed by his approach.
The corner of his mouth stiffened, he stood up nonchalantly, his voice steady:
“Wait for me a moment, I will be right back.”
Although Luke was not Darion’s son, he couldn’t possibly abandon him. His existence might have been valuable in finding the real Luke.
Emelia glanced at the blood–stained dagger in the transparent bag on the table, her eyes flickering slightly, finally revealing a hint of nervousness deep within her.
The hysterical voice of my mother still echoed in my ears:
Chapted So The Deldene Was Gone
“Go destroy the dagger, it’s evidence. If I get caught, you won’t be able to escape either!”
She couldn’t be caught!
Pierce left.
Sophia also got out of bed, she originally just intended to rest a bit, not planning to be hospitalized.
Marilyn used to support her, carefully avoiding her arm.
Emelia, however, stood there without leaving, looking at Sophia with no particular expression on her face:
“I heard Ms. Cruise was in danger, what a pity, it was just a superficial injury.”
As soon as the words were spoken.
Marilyn looked at her and spoke without any hesitation:
“Could you speak or not? If you couldn’t, then shut up and play dumb. You were acting like a pure lotus just now, what are you pretending to be a big bad wolf for now?”
The intern who had just graduated still carried an unpolished
sharpness about them. Their straightforward way of speaking was refreshing to hear.
Sophia raised an eyebrow, let out a cold laugh, but didn’t seem too angry.
Emelia wished her dead, Sophia knew it well. Her eyes were filled with coldness as she looked at her, a smile that wasn’t quite a smile on her face as she began to speak:
Chapter 50 The Evidence Was Gone
“Emelia, I hope your mouth always stays this tough!”
Never beg for mercy, because she would not soften her heart.
Sophia said, and then left the room with Marilyn.
Her phone happened to ring. It was Kylan, who had learned from
Aylen that she was injured, and couldn’t help but call to ask about her condition.
Sophia took her phone and went to the balcony to answer the call.
Not long after, Emelia also left.
Pierce came back very quickly.
Aylen had already completed the discharge procedures, and Sophia had finished making the call.
Three people were walking out when they happened to run into Pierce.
“You’re leaving now? Let me walk you out.”
He had originally intended to persuade her to stay here for a few more days, but seeing her indifferent demeanor, he involuntarily compromised.
The conditions at the hotel were much better than here, and it was also very convenient for him to visit her!
Sophia gave him a casual glance:
“No need, I have a lot of people here, I wouldn’t dare to bother Mr. Clement: I’ve already called the police, they will be here soon. You should worry more about the car accident!”
She said, and had already walked towards the direction of the elevator.
Pierce slightly furrowed his brow walked in intending to take the dagger away for
As a result, he walked out with a face as cold as ice, looking extremely upset, the dagger in his hand as shiny as new.
Pierce’s voice was restrained and controlled;
“Who touched it, the fingerprints on it were ruined…”
The three people outside the elevator were taken aback.
How could something that had always been in the room have its traces erased by someone?
Sophia’s face looked particularly awful, which meant the evidence was gone, and so was the hope of catching the culprit!
Marilyn suddenly remembered:
“Right, that woman stayed in the room for quite a while before she left, it must have been her!”
“Emelia?”
Pierce was slightly shocked, hardly believing.
Sophia stood there, regaining her composure, observing his recent reaction, he was probably someone who doubted her.
She began to speak with an indifferent tone:
“If it had been the three of us, there would have been no need to chase after anyone, right?”
Pierce gave her a look with complex emotions in his eyes.
The veins in his arm tightened, and then he turned and went to
Emelia was drinking water there, her heart still pounding, when she heard the door being slammed open.
She was startled.
“Pierce?”
In her surprised expression, there was a hint of nervousness.
Pierce threw the dagger on the table, his tone icy:
“Was it you who did it?”
“What, what did I do?”
Emelia quickly hid her nervousness, standing there with an innocent look.
Pierce’s face was taut with tension, his voice icy cold:
“You wiped off the fingerprints with alcohol, there was surveillance in that room, won’t you admit it?”
Emelia’s face alternated between red and white. In the end, she tugged at the corner of her mouth, her voice as calm as possible:
“I admit it, it was me,” I said. “I heard from the nurse that disinfecting with alcohol would make it cleaner. The knife was so dirty, I just wanted to help clean it for Ms. Cruise.“–
Pierce’s face darkened instantly, his voice cold and harsh:
“Who told you to do this, who told you to meddle, do you have any connection with that murderer?”
He advanced relentlessly, his eyes tinted with severity, his aura

“It’s best if you’re not involved, otherwise, you should know what the consequences would bo!”
The dagger was the only evidence, and it had been deliberately washed clean with alcohol.
It was Emelia, of all people. How could he not be suspicious?
Sophia was crying hysterically, as if she was using her tears to hide something.
Pierce stormed off.
Beside the elevator.
Sophia and the other two didn’t leave. Only when they saw Pierce come out did she start to ask him:
“Was it clear?”
Pierce’s lips were tightly pressed together, his expression cold:
“She did it.”
Sophia’s eyes instantly sharpened.

Pierce took a deep breath, “She might… not have done it on purpose.”
Sophia gave him a deep look, her lips curling into a mocking smile as she said:
“Possible? Pierce, you’re still siding with her at this time, when it’s your own family that’s in trouble. You really are magnanimous!”
His first reaction upon discovering the evidence had been destroyed was to suspect her and her people.
However, after knowing that it was Emelia who did it, an excuse was made for her.
Was this the difference between love and not loving?
She reached out herself and pressed the elevator for the downward direction.
The elevator was exclusive to VIPS, no waiting required.
Three people went in, Sophia didn’t even glance at Pierce.
Pierce looked at her gaze filled with contempt and disappointment, his heart sinking. Suddenly, he spoke with a heavy voice:
“I would find out, if Emelia really had any connection with the murderer, I wouldn’t let her off either.”
The elevator slowly closed.
Sophia did not look up.
Could his words be trusted anymore?
