Chapter 418
Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Chapter 418 At this moment, Jessica, who was sitting on the sofa and smoking, suddenly said, âThese reporters obviously came prepared.
Someone must have leaked the news of Naomiâs release in advance. They mobilized so many people and did not hesitate to expose the case back then. Itâs obvious that theyâre here for the four of us.â
Now that technology was advanced, it was easy for bad news to spread.
The enemy revealed what happened in high school so that the four of them would have a bad reputation and be despised by everyone.
They had taken a lot of effort to ensure that the murder case back then would not be leaked, so it attracted many speculations.
But now, because of this group of unscrupulous reporters outside, all their previous efforts were going to be wasted. It was really hateful.
Rachel sat on the sofa, her almond-shaped eyes filled with coldness. âIf they want to wait, then let them wait.â
At most, they would just waste time like this and see who would give up first.
However, she could not help but feel aggrieved!
An oppressive and depressing atmosphere filled the whole room. Everyoneâs eyes were filled with faint worry.
With sorrowful eyes, Naomi looked at the four people in front of her one by one. Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes.
She secretly gritted her teeth and stood up abruptly. âNo matter what, this matter started because of me. Iâll go out and explain it to them.â
âMom!â Linda hurriedly stood up and grabbed Naomiâs hand. âIf you go out and explain now, they wonât believe a word you say.â
âThis matter started because of me. They can scold me however they want. At most... At most, Iâll live in shame in the future. At worst, I wonât go out anymore.â Naomiâs face was covered in tears, but she tried her best to force a smile and comfort them. âAll these years, Iâm indebted to you for taking care of Linda for me. If I cause you trouble, wonât I be repaying. kindness with revenge? You guys are all good children. I canât burden you anymore.â
âWhat about Linda?â Rachel stared at Naomi with a burning gaze. Her hands by her sides were clenched into fists. âWhat do you want her to do in the future?â
This murder case was related to Lindaâs life.
When Naomi heard this, she was stunned on the spot.
She looked at Linda. The tears that she had been holding back finally rolled down the corners of her eyes uncontrollably. She stretched out her arm and hugged Linda tightly. âIâm sorry, Linda. Itâs all my fault. Iâve let you down...â
Naomiâs heart ached as she reached out to touch Lindaâs face.
Linda patted Naomiâs thin back gently and suddenly said, âMom, Iâll go with you.â
âLinda...â Naomiâs entire body trembled as she looked at Linda in disbelief.
Linda smiled and looked at the other three. âIâm very grateful to you for being by my side all these years. You didnât despise me and took care of me in all aspects. Iâm really grateful to you, but just as my mother said, we canât continue to cause you trouble.
âIâm not the one who did something wrong. Running away isnât a solution either. You guys are my benefactors, and Iâm also indebted to the Johnson family. If telling the truth can help you guys, Iâm undoubtedly willing.â
âLinda, you should what will happen to you if you say the truth!â Rachelâs face was cold as she stared at Linda.
Linda looked deeply at Rachel, then at Jessica. Then, without any hesitation, she held Naomiâs hand and turned to leave.
Just as the reporters downstairs were waiting for an opportunity to barge into the hotel, they saw Linda walking out of the elevator with Naomi.
âNaomi, are you willing to tell us the truth behind the murder case back then?â
âBack then, there was a witness who claimed to have seen four people, but in the end, you were the only one who confessed.
Were you coerced?â
âAfter the incident that year, Johnson Corporation in Seaxas put pressure and blocked the news. Do we have a direct reason to suspect that these are related to the Johnson family?â
