Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1243 Catherine was also choked by his words. After a moment, she said, âThree years ago, I told you that Rebecca was pretending to be Shelleyâ¦â
Chester interrupted her. âBut we did a DNA test. The one who died was Shelley. Catherine, I know you and Charity had a good relationship, but no one in the Neeson family is simple. You shouldnât just think about clearing her name.â
Catherine was immediately annoyed by his attitude. âPreviously, you said that Sarah was simple and kind and that Charity always bullied her. Now that you have a clear understanding of Sarahâs true colors, do you think Charity couldâve bullied her? Didnât you see I was bullied by Sarah so badly that I almost committed suicide? You now know that you misunderstood me back then, so has it never crossed your mind that Charity was the old me?â
Chester was stunned by her words.
Shaun quickly agreed like a sycophant. âCathy, youâre absolutely right. Your words have really woken me up. We were too prejudiced against Charity in the past.â âYes, it was prejudice.â
Catherine agreed with Shaunâ. âChester, although I donâ t know what happened between Charity and you, you were prejudiced against her and decided that she was a bad woman. You were even afraid that your thinking was wrong, so you found countless reasons to prove you were right, but the truth is that you were too stubborn. I really donât understand. Sheâs dead, yet why canât you give her a fair chance?â
âSheâs dead?â Chester murmured. He recalled that when he went to the cemetery the other day, the grave where the Neeson familyâs ashes were buried was dug up.
âOf course she is. She jumped into the sea, and the police searched high and low for her but found nothing. Do you think sheâs still alive?â Catherine felt a lump in her throat.
Shaun did not know how to comfort her, hence all he could do was pat her back over and over.
Catherine returned to the main topic. âAt that time, I really did test Shelleyâs hair with Jeffery and confirmed that they were indeed related. However, when the test was being done in Melbourne, Rebeccaâs friend from before found out.
âThe one who died is the real Shelley because she got switched back the moment before the fire started. I had already guessed back then that Rebecca couldnât do so many things alone. Rebecca was just a pawn to intensify the conflict between Shaun and me.
âThe day before yesterday, when I was checking through Wesleyâs laptop, I found he had a photo of Shelley when she was in college. He saved it before Shelley came to your side as a caregiver.â
Catherine looked at Shaun. âI suspect that Wesley was secretly working for the Campos family at that time. After you threw Rebecca into the ravine, she was brought back by the Campos family and became a pawn of revenge. Wesley found the real Shelleyâs whereabouts and had her photo, so he made Rebecca transform her face into Shelleyâs through cosmetic surgery and approach you. The real Shelley was already in their hands. When the truth was almost revealed, they pulled a trick and burned the real Shelley to death instead.â
Shaun and Chester were horrified.
What Catherine said was most probably true. Otherwise, how would Wesley, who had just come to Canberra, have an early photo of Shelley?
Chester said with mixed feelings. âThen why did they frame Charity? Charity has nothing to do with them.â
Catherine glared at him frustratingly. âI realize that the two of you really become blockheads when it comes to the Neesons. Have you ever thought that if Charity wasnât the one who was framed, Shaun and I wouldnât have fought to that point?â
Shaun and Chester were stunned for a moment. However, they quickly understood.
Catherine said, âCharity was my friend, and I definitely wouldnât stand knowing my good friend was framed. In order to save her, Iâd definitely fall out with Shaun, Rodney, and you.
âMy poor relationship with Shaun also directly affected his condition. Later, his condition deteriorated, and he even started to lose his memory. He had to stay in the hospital often and rarely went to the company. In fact, I had already suspected back then that the fake Shelley was adding things in his milk.â
Chester pondered for a while, and a shadow flashed in his eyes. âIf thatâs true, maybe Shaunâs meals were indeed tampered with. His condition was deteriorating too quickly back then, but I didnât suspect it at first. I thought that you triggered him.
