“Where’s the evidence?! Where’s the evidence?!”
Pei Ge’s lips curled up into a cold smirk as a dark glint flashed her eyes.
“Evidence? Of course, I have evidence!”
The moment she said this, the air in the room froze.
Pei Shishi, who barely managed to maintain a calm façade, instantly displayed a flustered look again.
“You’re spouting nonsense!” she blurted out.
Her voice was filled with affirmation, as if she knew for sure that the other did not truly have evidence.
“I was spouting nonsense? Hur hur. How could I possibly come here and accuse you of that without evidence?” The other gave her a cold smirk.
“I don’t know where you heard this from, but your ideas are totally laughable!” She took a deep breath and her fearful look slowly disappeared.
Calm down! Calm down, Pei Shishi. You must calm down and not throw off your balance.
She should not know of that!
Over a decade has already passed. She would’ve found out a long time ago if she could. There’s no need for her to only bring it up now.
She must’ve heard this from somewhere…
Thinking up to this point, Qiao Jingyun’s smiling face suddenly appeared in her mind.
It’s her!
“I got it. It must be Qiao Jingyun who told you, right?!”
Yes! It must be that woman!
I’ve already confirmed that there’s no one else present back then!
It is indeed as I said; even father didn’t know that I saw everything up to the present!
S-So how could my cousin possibly know?!
“Pei Ge, I really didn’t expect that you would believe that woman who’s only filled with lies!”
Having already thought this through, she slowly regained her usual composure. She was no longer flustered and panicky like before.
“Hur!” Alas, the other only gave her a mocking look. “What has this got to do with that woman? I already said that I have evidence in my hands.”
“I truly didn’t expect you to believe her ridiculous lie. Don’t you recall? Your father is my big uncle and my father’s older brother! How could that be possible?! That’s ridiculous!”
She refused to believe that Pei Ge knew the truth. In contrast, she felt that the latter was only trying to sound her out.
“That’s right, but the truth is really ridiculous. Clearly, they were brothers of the same blood, but your father, that human trash, actually killed my dad!”
At this point, Pei Ge no longer wanted to continue this verbal spat.
People who don’t cry before seeing the coffin will never easily admit their sins!
“Then, let’s recall that incident from back then…”
She retracted her smile and stared at her cousin coldly.
“Back then, dad discovered your father using the company’s funds to repay his debts. This made your father panic, so he decided to settle it once and for all by working with others to kill my dad.”
When she saw that her cousin was about to refute this, her lips curled up as she continued to speak, stopping her cousin from talking.
“Don’t rush to defend your father and keep listening. At that time, your father sought two more people—one was my father’s trusted employee and the other was the loan shark he owed. That’s right. There were three people who caused my father’s death…”
The moment she mentioned that trusted employee, Pei Shishi’s face blanched as her eyes became filled with panic again.
“Yes, your father didn’t kill my dad with his hands. He only provided the idea and acted as the bait.”
As she stated all these, the hatred in her heart blazed.
As she stated all these, she seemed to be experiencing it herself. She saw her father getting tricked into going over to that place by his brother, the quarrel that ensued, and how he died…
“He called and lied to my father! He lured him into that small alley where the accident took place! Both had an argument! Following that, the car, which was prepared beforehand, sped in…”
She watched her cousin’s face turn uglier by the second and how her body trembled in fear from what she had said.
Her reaction gave her an inexplicably strange feeling.
Pei Shishi’s reaction seems to be exceptionally huge.
If she only saw her father killing my dad, she wouldn’t be this frightened, right?
It’s as if… as if… my father’s real murderer… was her!
She thought that she was overthinking it…
“Bang!“
She mimicked the sound of a car hitting another and shouted.
This shout also caused her cousin’s face to turn ghastlier. She seemed to have been scared out of her wits as she stared back at her blankly.
“…But the car didn’t kill my dad—”
Before she could finish her statement, Pei Shishi already struggled out of her grasp and kept retreating while muttering.
“It’s not me! Not me! I wasn’t in the wrong! I didn’t cause his death! It’s not me who killed big uncle! Even if I made the emergency call back then, he still wouldn’t survive! He had no hope of living… no hope… It’s not my fault…”
Her repeated muttering caused Pei Ge’s mind to go blank.
W-What did she mean?!
What did she mean by not making the emergency call?!
Could it be…
She stared at her, her eyes ablaze as though she wanted to burn her to death.
“Not me… not me… I wasn’t in the wrong…”
She took a breath to calm her nerves as she could not reveal her true emotions.
If that happened, her cousin would know that she did not have any evidence!
