Chapter 632
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Kendraâs eyes flickered.
She glanced away and responded, âI think I saw something about it online, but I canât recall much.
Why do you ask?â
Lindsey arched an eyebrow and went on, âThere was also a car crash at the airport two days ago.
A woman crashed into a car and died.
Have you heard about that?â
Kendraâs face tensed, and her heart skipped a beat.
She stared at Lindsey, realizing the implications.
Lindseyâs questions suggested her suspicions.
But without concrete evidence, Lindseyâs suspicions were pointless.
Kendra knew as long as she denied everything, Lindsey couldnât touch her.
Kendra eased her expression and responded, âI havenât heard about any car accident.
But, why are you asking?â
Lindsey, with a slight smile, strolled to the table and poured a glass of water.
She took a sip and began, âI found out that the woman who killed herself was Marisa Carson.
Sheâs the one behind that arson.
She did it for her sick child, but nothing was actually stolen from the accident site.
If she was desperate enough to do that, it must mean someone offered her a big reward, maybe cash or something else.
That person is the true criminal behind the fire, right, Kendra?â
Kendra felt a lump in her throat and her fingers went numb.
She hadnât expected Lindsey to piece it all together so accurately.
âWhy are you telling me this? I didnât tell her to do any of that!â she exclaimed, quickly downing her drink in one go.
Lindsey watched Kendra panic yet deny everything, fighting back a laugh.
She had anticipated this.
Gazing at Kendra, Lindseyâs voice turned icy.
âIf she was so determined to save her child, why would she suddenly kill herself? Unless, the one behind this promised to take care of her child in return for her taking the blame by committing suicide.
â
Kendraâs anxiety grew.
Her hand shook as she held her glass, but she knew she couldnât show weakness in front of Lindsey.
Striving for composure, she looked at Lindsey and asked, âWhat are you trying to say?â
Lindsey smiled softly and said, âYou know, I couldâve figured that out myself, no need for the police.
Theyâre already searching for the kid, arenât they? Find the kid, and we find the mastermind.
Kendra, ever wonder how long theyâd lock this mastermind up?â
As she spoke, Lindsey couldnât help but Laugh.
âMaybe sheâll end up sharing a cell with Shelia.
My sister wonât be lonely anymore.
â
âLindsey Stewart!â Kendraâs anger boiled over.
In a fit of rage, she slammed her glass onto the table, shattering it.
As the shards pierced her hand, Kendraâs anger turned to pain.
Lindsey smirked.
âIf youâre innocent, why so defensive as if you are guilty?â
âI⦠Iâm not guilty of anything,â Kendra retorted, hiding her injured hand.
Her voice trembled, betraying her inner turmoil Desperate to change the subject, she said, âLindsey, Iâve been thinking.
Shelia messed up, sure.
Sheâs young, didnât think things through.
But sheâs sorry now.
You know, sheâs your step-sister.
Any chance you could drop the lawsuit? For old timesâ sake?â
Lindseyâs response was frosty.
âFor old timesâ sake? I feel nothing but hatred for her.
Like Iâve said, Kendra, if you donât want your actions exposed, better not do them in the first place.
Thereâs always a trail, unless⦠you can eliminate the problem at its source!â
Her voice rose at the end, as if taunting Kendraâs inability to do so.
Then, she stormed out.
The moment the door shut, Kendra collapsed onto the sofa, her body shaking.
Was Lindsey telling the truth? Had the police pieced it together and started searching for the child in secret?
