Chapter 8

Author: Susan Mayer
"Tell me, how much did she pay you? How much?"

Mr. Smith shook his head. "Believe it or not, this is the truth. Mr. Johnson, please come to the police station with me."

After saying that, he pulled handcuffs from his pocket, ready to arrest Oliver.

Oliver still didn't believe it and struggled fiercely.

But the butler, as if he'd thought of something, turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Could it be...?"

Oliver froze, his eyes raw and red, as if the veins were about to rupture.

"Butler, do you know something?"

Mr. Smith immediately turned to the butler and interrogated:

"What do you know?"

The butler then stammered out everything he knew.

"On the day of the kidney donation, Susan went to see the doctor secretly.I was just passing by and overheard them."

"I heard Susan say it was Mr. Johnson's order, and that she'd give the doctor 10 million after it was done. I always thought they were talking about forcing Charlotte to donate the kidney, but now I think maybe..."

"Susan!"

    Looking at her putting on a pitiful act like that, Oliver just felt sick.He never knew this woman could be so evil and act so good.Oliver realized Susan was totally different from me, and wasn't really comparable to me at all.When he thought of me, his eyes burned with hatred."Susan! You dared to lie to me!"He shot his hand out, clamped it around Susan's neck, and squeezed hard. His voice was cold, so cold it sent a chill right through her.Susan's face turned red as a tomato. She flailed, slapping at Oliver's hand over and over."Let go…!"Finally, the others snapped out of it. They pulled Susan free and saved her.After that, Susan got arrested. Leo was sent to the hospital to check his injuries. The doctor involved was arrested soon afterward. At the police station, Susan fought tooth and nail, refusing to admit what she'd done.But there were witnesses and proof. She couldn't weasel out of it, so she was quickly convicted.Before the trial, she begged Oliver—begged him so ma

    But soon I was shocked again by Susan's actions.Seeing that Leo didn't dare to speak, Susan's anger flared up. She frantically pummeled Leo's back, and Leo stumbled and fell to the ground.As she got tired, she kept complaining bitterly in a suppressed voice:"Brat, it's all your fault! All your fault!I've already driven Charlotte and that little bitch out for days, and you still haven't made that fool Oliver completely like and approve of you.Aren't you the one who always plays the pitiful, innocent card to get what you want? Why are you failing now?If you'd really made Oliver forget that little bitch Amelia, I wouldn't have to be so scared. It's all your fault, all your fault!"Every time Susan said a word, she pinched Leo hard.It was like she wanted to pour all her anger onto Leo.And Leo, as if used to it, didn't dare to resist at all.He just bowed his head numbly, not even daring to make a sound when crying.My daughter couldn't stand it anymore and whispered to me:"Mommy

    The butler hurried in. "Sir, Mr. Smith from the City Police Department is here. Hurry, give me Amelia's body. We must not let them find out that Amelia's death has anything to do with you.He wants to ask you some questions about Ms Charlotte."Oliver lowered his head, looking at my daughter in his arms, who seemed to be asleep.An absolute, crushing stillness that screamed louder than any cry could. His arms were locked around my daughter. He was now hollowed out by grief so deep it felt like it would swallow the world whole.But reason told him that hiding the cause of Amelia's death was the right thing to do.Susan also hurried to persuade him:"Oliver, the butler is right. Even though you didn't mean it, things have already happened. We should hide Amelia's body as soon as possible."Oliver stared blankly at Susan, his voice hoarse:"Susan, I killed Amelia and then hid her. She'll never forgive me."A flash of impatience crossed Susan's eyes, but she quickly forced a gentle l

    Oliver stood up, pushed Susan aside, and ran outside anxiously.Susan was startled by his action and tried to ask something, but Oliver had already run downstairs.She frowned and hurried after him.When she got downstairs, she was shocked by what she saw.Oliver was rushing into the snow like a man possessed. He took off his coat and wrapped it tightly around the stiff, motionless figure on the ground.Tears streamed down in big drops, falling onto Amelia's purple-tinged face, making it look even more terrifying."Mommy, is Daddy crying for me?"My daughter's soul huddled in my arms, asking in a small voice."Mommy, does Daddy regret it?"She blinked, her blue eyes reflecting only my face.I smiled and brushed the snowflakes off her."Amelia, your daddy is a fool."My daughter was surprised because I'm usually gentle and kind, and I even rarely call someone a "fool".But she understood my grievance. She just held me close and gazed quietly at her father."Mommy, I want to be with you

    Oliver slammed his fist onto the table, causing a deafening crash.He was in a panic and gripped his phone tightly and snapped:"Who died? Who's that speaking? This joke has gone way too far!"The person on the other end seemed familiar with such situations; upon hearing Oliver's questioning, his tone still remained calm."Mr. Johnson, please calm down. I am Mr. Smith from the City Police Department. An hour ago, we received a report about an unknown odor coming from a rental department. When we arrived, we found the body of a young woman who had been dead for four days. Based on the current information, we found that the deceased is your ex-wife, Charlotte. Neighbors said Charlotte was with a four-year-old girl whose current whereabouts are unknown.If you have any clues, please contact us immediately. Also, if it's convenient for you, could you come over right away to give a statement?""Bang!" The phone fell to the ground.Oliver's eyes were bloodshot as he stared blankly at th
