Chapter 10

Author: Local Universe
"Ms. Sydney Edwards, you are suspected of being involved in child abuse and murder. Please come back to the station with me for the investigation," Captain Stone said.

Sydney was stunned, and her eyes immediately turned red. "What are you talking about? I was just rehearsing a play with my daughter in the room. Those were all lines from the play. Did you mishear it?"

Then, she looked at Casper in a panic and said tearfully, "Casper, please help me explain this to him. You know I wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, how could I dare to commit murder? There must be some sort of mistake."

Casper felt sick to his stomach when he saw her put on the pitiful act. He had never realized that Sydney could act so well.

She was nothing like Winnie.

No, she wasn't even worthy of being compared to her.

The hatred in Casper's eyes grew stronger when he remembered my face. "Sydney… You dare lie to me!"

He reached out and fiercely choked Sydney, his voice so cold it chilled her to the bone. Syd

    "I clearly told the doctor to only draw 400cc, there's no way he drew 2000cc." Casper's eyes were red as he asked in disbelief. "You're lying to me, you must be lying to me!"Then he sneered and said to himself. "I get it, you're not the real police. You must be actors that Winnie hired. How much did she pay you? Tell me! How much did she pay you to pretend to be the police? How much?!"Captain Stone shook his head and said, "Whether you believe it or not, that is the truth. Mr. Hawthorne, please come back to the station with us."After saying that, he took out a pair of handcuffs and was prepared to arrest Casper, but Casper still didn't believe it and resisted fiercely.However, Mr. Smith seemed to have remembered something, and his face turned deathly pale. "Don't tell me..."Casper paused, his eyes so red that they were almost bloodshot. "Mr. Smith, do you know something?"Captain Stone also immediately turned to the butler. "What do you know?"Mr. Smith bit his lip and expl

    Adam hid in my arms in fear and asked me in disbelief, "Mommy, is she really Lily's biological mother?"Seeing the confusion in his eyes, I was also at a loss for words. But soon, I was even more surprised by what Sydney did.When she saw that Lily was too scared to say a word, her anger flared up again as she pinched the inside of Lily's thigh hard.As she pinched her, she said, "You useless witch! I've already gotten rid of Winnie and that worthless son of hers for so many days. Why haven't you managed to charm that idiot Casper?! Isn't that what you do best? Why did you fail this time?!"If you had really made Casper forget that kid, I wouldn't have been so scared like this. It's all your fault, you witch!"Sydney would pinch Lily firmly each time she said a sentence, as if she was venting all her frustrations on her. Meanwhile, Lily seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and she didn't dare to resist at all.She just lowered her head numbly, not even having the courage to

    Casper lowered his eyes to look at Adam, who looked like he was just sleeping in his arms. He felt like there was now a vast emptiness in his heart. However, his rationale told him that hiding the cause of his son's death was the right choice.Sydney also quickly said, "Casper, Mr. Smith is right. You might not have meant it, but things have already come to this. We should hurry and hide Adam."Casper stared blankly at Sydney, his voice hoarse. "Sydney, I killed Adam, and now I'm hiding him. He'll never forgive me."A trace of impatience flashed in Sydney's eyes, but she quickly put on a gentle expression. "How could he not? Adam has always been a sensible boy. He'll understand how hard this is for you and won't be angry with you. Don't worry."My son pouted, his eyes full of disgust. "I'll never forgive him!"But Casper seemed to have found comfort in those empty words. "You're right, Adam definitely won't be angry with me."With Casper's agreement, Mr. Smith quickly moved Adam'

    Casper had not yet recovered from his grief as I finished reminiscing, but Sydney couldn't help but ask Casper, "What's wrong? Who are you thinking of? Are you thinking of Winnie?"She smiled, a cold glint in her eyes. "Speaking of which, it's quite strange. It has been quite a while, and Adam is already like this right now, so why isn't she here yet? Even if she wants to use Adam to get your love, isn't this going too far...?"Casper was stunned for a moment, then he immediately remembered Mr. Smith saying that Adam had fainted in the snow.He suddenly skipped a beat.He stood up, pushed Sydney aside, and ran outside.Sydney was startled by what Casper was doing. Before she could say anything, Casper had already run downstairs. She frowned and quickly followed.But when she got downstairs, she was startled by what was happening before her. She saw Casper rushing into the snow as he took off his own coat, wrapping it tightly around the stiff figure on the ground.Tears rolled, f

    The chair was violently knocked over, and a deafening noise echoed in the study as he received the call from the police department. Casper frantically put the phone to his ear and asked, "What rental apartment? Who are you?! This joke has gone a bit too far!"The person on the other end seemed very familiar with this kind of situation. His tone showed no change in tone after hearing what Casper had to say. He said in a formal tone, "Mr. Hawthorne, please calm down. We're from the Central City Police Department. An hour ago, we received a report about a strange smell coming from a rental apartment. "When the police arrived, they found the body of a young woman who had been dead for three days. According to her identification, we found that the deceased is your ex-wife, Ms. Winnie Carlson. According to neighbors, Ms. Winnie had a six-year-old boy with her, whose whereabouts are now unknown. If you have any information, please tell us immediately. Also, if it's convenient for you, plea
