Chapter 1091:

Panic surged through her. She thrashed wildly, her limbs flailing in a desperate attempt to break free. Her instincts kicked in. She clawed at the man’s wrist with all her might, her nails digging deep enough to draw blood…

That morning, the gate area of the Vazquez Mansion was buzzing with activity. Leyla had bought a mountain of local products, and the campervan was packed to the brim.

Yet, there were still a few items that hadn’t been loaded.

“This car is a bit too small,” Leyla said, eyeing the remaining bags with concern.

Eileen’s lips twitched in relief. “Grandma, this is a campervan, not a cargo truck! You’ve packed so much that there’s barely any room left for us!”

Leyla’s eyes softened as she looked at Eileen. “It’s my first trip to Onaland, darling. I need to bring gifts for all your friends and relatives, right? Everyone deserves a little something, and there are so many people we will be visiting. And don’t forget, we still need to pack Gabriela’s things.”

It was clear she wasn’t willing to part with anything.

“Grandma, I’ll arrange for someone to send the rest of these items to Onaland. We need to clear out some space in the campervan, or it won’t be comfortable for you,” Eileen said.

Under Eileen’s gentle hint, Bryan attempted to persuade Leyla. “How much will it cost? I know my own body, and I don’t get tired easily. Let’s just get everything loaded!”

Leyla turned and waved at the servants, signaling them to continue loading the items in the campervan.

Eileen’s efforts to persuade Leyla fell flat. Suddenly, the shrill blast of a police siren pierced the air. Several police cars appeared and stopped at the gate of the Vazquez Mansion.

Latest stories on gαℓησvℯ𝓁s․com An officer greeted Eileen and the others as he stepped out of his vehicle. “We are investigating a murder. We need to gather information from you.”

Eileen was taken aback.

Yesterday, she and Leyla had boldly declared that unless a murder occurred, nothing would deter them from leaving. Yet today, a murder had indeed taken place!

“Fill me in on the details,” Bryan said, his voice cold as ice, his eyes narrowing.

At noon yesterday, Jaliyah was found dead in her home’s swimming pool. She drowned despite being a good swimmer. The Diaz family performed an autopsy, which revealed the grim truth. The results, delivered yesterday afternoon, showed distinct pinpricks on the back of her neck. It confirmed that she was forcibly held underwater, leading to her tragic death,” the police officer replied.

Bryan’s frustration was palpable as he snapped, “Do you think we could show up at the Aston family’s estate out of the blue, kill Jaliyah, and then leave undetected?”

“Of course not!” the police officer replied hastily. “We went to the Aston family’s villa to gather evidence and found the true murderer, who was arrested last night.”

Eileen was stunned by the news of Jaliyah’s unexpected death. After composing herself, she asked, “If the murderer has been caught, why are you here talking to us?”

“The murderer is a driver for the Aston family. After a thorough overnight interrogation, he confessed that you had ordered him to kill Jaliyah. Apparently, you had a heated argument with Jaliyah at the Vazquez family’s residence yesterday morning, during which you slapped her after she insulted your mother. As a result, you hired the driver to kill Jaliyah.” The police officer produced a statement and handed it to Eileen.

Before Eileen could get a clear view, Bryan abruptly pushed the officer’s hand away and said in a frosty tone, “You don’t have any evidence, and you are not in a position to take her to the police station. You can only ask her the same questions here, and until my lawyer arrives, we won’t say anything.”
