All Chapters of FRAMED (THE PAYBACK): Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

"Yes, that is correct," Officer Smith responded. "I will require it for further investigation," Detective Vincent stated. "Not a problem; I will ensure it is sent to you as soon as possible," Officer Smith assured. "Very well gentlemen, you may excuse yourselves now," Detective Vincent instructed. Consequently, Alfie and Officer Smith departed. Detective Vincent then turned to Steven. "Very well, Steven, you are the alleged murderer, and I assume you are aware of my identity. I have reviewed some of your records, which indicate that you have no prior criminal history. Therefore, I am perplexed as to how you found yourself in this predicament. I require your full cooperation to elucidate the events that transpired and the reasons behind the murder of Edward, the delivery person," Detective Vincent requested. "I have already conveyed everything to Officer Smith; you can obtain that information from him. Furthermore, I did not kill that delivery person; this is all a misun

It is imperative that you take care of your mother, as she needs your support now more than ever. Ensure that you remain by her side, console her, and refrain from crying excessively so that you do not also suffer a loss." With a quavering voice, Maria responded, "Okay, sir, but he was my only brother, and he was so caring. I cannot fathom what kind of dispute he could have had with someone that would justify his murder, as he was not a troublesome person." "Young lady, as I mentioned earlier, the murderer has been taken into custody, and I assure you that he will face severe consequences," Officer Smith reassured her. Maria wept and said, "Okay, sir, I will follow your advice. Please ensure justice is served for us, as he was my only brother." "I give you my word, young lady; the murderer will indeed be held accountable," Officer Smith affirmed. Maria nodded, an

of this entire ordeal?" Alfie inquired. "No, what is it?" Angela and Ethan asked in unison. "The delivery person murdered by Steven was the only son of his parents and also had a younger sister," Alfie expressed with sorrow. "Oh no, my goodness! I can only imagine how his parents must be feeling at this moment," Angela lamented. Ethan felt a twinge of emotion upon hearing Alfie's revelation. Although he empathised with Edward's family, he realised he could do nothing to restore Edward to life. Thus, he resolved to play along, as someone must bear the blame, and he chose Steven due to the anguish he had inflicted upon him. This was his sole opportunity for revenge, and he would not jeopardise it. "Indeed, I feel sympathy for the family of the delivery person; Steven is truly heartless," Ethan remarked. "Ethan, Steven has been asserting to everyone that you were the one who called him. I believe it is imperative for you to confront him and clarify the matter," Alfie suggested. "A

"Innocent, indeed; he was found with blood on his hands," Officer Smith asserted. Ethan feigned sorrow, shedding false tears. "Do not worry, Ethan; I will be fine. I am grateful that you have clarified that you were not the one who called me. I shall have to reflect on whom I have wronged in the past that could wish such suffering upon me," Steven stated as he was escorted to his cell. Ethan continued to feign a false tears, exclaiming, "That is my friend; who could possibly commit such a heinous act against him, and why must it occur in our apartment?" Officer Smith responded to Ethan's lamentation promptly, "Ethan, it is clear that the alleged murderer harbours malicious intentions towards you, yet you remain blinded by friendship, failing to see the truth. Had you been present on the day of this incident, he might have framed you for the crime. He left his residence to commit murder in yours; consider this carefully." Angela interjected quickly, echoing her previous warning to

you not comprehend the gravity of that?” Angela asked. Ethan remained quiet, clearing his throat. "My dear, allow me to be candid with you: Steven is attempting to frame you for a second time solely because you have refrained from disclosing the circumstances surrounding your promotion. Nevertheless, Officer Smith advised you to reflect on the situation, and he was correct; indeed, Steven harbours malevolent intentions towards you, yet you remain oblivious to this fact as you perceive him to be a true friend," Angela articulated. "My dear, I am aware that he is not a genuine friend, for true friends do not bring suffering upon one another. However, that does not diminish my feelings of sorrow regarding his current situation in police custody," Ethan replied. "Allow me to pose a question," Angela insisted. "Proceed, my dear," Ethan encouraged. "Do you believe that Steven would shed a tear if you were the one in police custody?" Angela inquired. "Hmm, I am certain he would not we
