The Rescued Heiress’ Charade Chapter 10
“You said you left no evidence behind?”I tapped on the official red seal on the report.“Ten years ago, you lured your younger brother to the back of the mountain and strangled him to death with a nylon rope.“You stuffed his body in a tin box and buried it. You then took some money and paid an old bachelor in the village, David Lynch, to act as a human trafficker and abduct you.“To make it look real, you let him chain you up in the cellar with metal chains.“You thought that as long as you stayed in the cellar for ten years, when the prosecution period came to an end and when everyone had given up on searching for the truth, you’d be able to return home to the Callistos in all glory and honor as the victim of an abduction case. You would then be the sole heir of the family assets.”I looked at Rosalind’s face, which was getting paler by the minute.“Your plan was perfect. You even considered the fact that after ten years of oxidation, the body in the tin box would decompose s

At five o’clock in the morning, the door to the isolated ward in the county hospital was kicked open. A few policemen from the special forces and I strode into the ward.Rosalind was seated on the bed, holding a phone from somewhere. When she saw me, her hand shook, and the phone dropped on the blanket.Outside the door, Timothy and his wife tried to rush in, but they were held back by the police.“Chester Lawson! What do you want? What right do you have to barge into my daughter’s ward?” Timothy yelled furiously in the corridor.I ignored him and headed straight to the bed.Rosalind looked right at me, her disguise slowly melting away.She was no longer pretending to stutter or tremble. She leaned against the headboard of the bed, glaring at me with a look of vicious resentment.“Chester Lawson, why must you be so relentless?”Her voice was crisp and clear, betraying a viciousness that didn’t seem appropriate for her age.I switched on the recording device and looked down at

Ten minutes later, the official Green County account posted a two-minute-long unedited HD video.The video was footage I captured with the police body cam last night at the entrance of the reception area.A single line of text accompanied the video.[Under Investigation.]The moment this video was posted, there was a complete change in public opinion online. The netizens who were insulting me at the start didn't see it coming.“What? The girl tore her own clothes? What kind of nasty trap was that?”“Where are all those people whose hearts broke for her? Why not come out for a spin now?”“I knew it! That young man looked so upright, so how could he be capable of something like that? Well done! This recording is a real lifesaver.”The tide changed faster than I had expected. The marketing accounts that had accepted the money immediately began taking down their posts. Stock prices of companies under the Callistos’ name crashed overnight in overseas markets.I sat in my office,

“Behind the mountain? A tree?”The look on Captain Jones’ face changed. He grabbed the microphone immediately.“Teams one and two, gather our K-9s and exploration equipment and lockdown the back of the mountain!”I stared at David through the mirror.He looked like a deflated balloon after saying all that, slumping in his chair and not moving a muscle. In fact, his eyes were gradually shutting.This was extremely abnormal behavior.He wasn’t seeking leniency by confessing. He was completing a mission someone had assigned him.“David Lynch,” I said coldly into the microphone. “Rosalind is making you lead us to the back of the mountain, right?”David’s body trembled, but he didn’t open his eyes or refute my claim.The clues I had gathered started coming together in my mind.Rosalind was enjoying premium wagyu while pretending to be a beast all chained up.David Lynch, despite being an illiterate old bachelor, could somehow accurately and precisely execute such a complex and in

Pin-drop silence enveloped the corridor.Timothy grabbed the lab test report, his fingers trembling.“What…what does this mean?”I looked at Rosalind shrinking silently into her blanket.“It means, the great Ms. Callisto has been enjoying meals much better than ours over the past few months.”I turned to look at Captain Jones.“Captain Jones, I suspect this isn’t just a simple case of abduction and trafficking. Perpetrator David Lynch is suspected of giving false testimony, while victim Rosalind Callisto is suspected of withholding major case details. I appeal to impose exit restrictions and mandatory detention measures on Rosalind Callisto. No one is allowed to bring her out of Green County.”Rosalind snapped her head up, the piteous look in her eyes all but gone. She bit her lip hard, a look of wild hatred flashing past her eyes.The look on Timothy’s face changed. Finally, he took a deep breath and regained his composure as a business magnate.“Mr. Lawson, a lab test report

Along the corridor, tension was thick in the air.Timothy Callisto, the richest man in the city, strode over with an entourage of bodyguards behind him. He immediately spotted Rosalind seated on the floor, her clothes in tatters.“Darling!” Mrs. Callisto shrieked. She leaped over and hugged her daughter tight, sobbing her heart out.Timothy’s eyes reddened with emotion. He turned to glare at me.“Are you the psychology expert from the county department? My daughter was taken away from me for ten years and suffered immense torture, but you forced her to remain in this corridor in the middle of the night. You caused her to end up this way!”He pointed at my nose.“Seize him! I’m going to make him wish he were dead!” he bellowed. His bodyguards pounced toward me.Captain Jones and a few other policemen pulled out their batons and stood before me.“Mr. Callisto! We’re at a police station right now!”Timothy sneered. “What? Is the police intending to condone the actions of a rapi
