Second Chance: Marrying into Wealth Chapter 73

When I was making the statement, my primary lawyer, Jason, was also by my side.

The police told me that they had watched the live broadcast, and since Lawrence had confessed to everything, the favorable testimonies regarding Lawrence's crimes could be extracted and used as evidence.

Regarding my parents' car accident, which was initially classified as an accident, the case will now be reopened for investigation.

As for Lawrence poisoning me, including the subsequent hospital reports where he tried to make me appear mentally ill, the lawyer has submitted all of these to the police, which will also be used to convict Lawrence.

When the topic of children came up, I thought of Evan, who was far away in Avalonia, and couldn't help but ask, "Evan was also involved. He gave me a fake ultrasound result. But he's abroad. Is there any way to investigate him?"

The police said that although it would be difficult, they would do their best to uncover the truth and arrest all the perpetrators.

At Jason's suggestion, I also added charges of domestic violence, intentional injury, embezzlement, and attempted murder against Lawrence.

The goal was to ensure that Lawrence had no chance of getting out of prison.

I was curious about one thing: how was I rescued at that time?

According to the police, "Christopher was the first to arrive and saved you."

As for why he arrived so promptly, the police also took a statement from Christopher. According to the statement, "He was on a business trip in the neighboring city. After discovering my plan, he drove over quickly and saved me just before I almost drowned."

Later, the bodyguards that Vance had prepared for me saw the video content, noticed my abnormality, and rushed over from the neighboring villa to subdue Lawrence and prevent him from escaping.

Christopher arrived even faster than those bodyguards, which I hadn't expected.

I was a bit puzzled. I hadn't told Christopher about this plan. How did he guess it?

I hadn't mentioned it to him at all.

The only person we both had contact with was Jason.

The message I sent to Jason was more like a will, but these were my personal private matters.

By the way, Fallon once mentioned that Christopher was the boss of Summit Innovations Group.

But would a boss like Christopher care about every case? Would he specifically ask Jason? But Jason was just one of the employees. The person who actually introduced him to me was Paula.

Even Paula wasn't supposed to know, but because the content I sent to Jason included my will, and Paula was the beneficiary, she had the right to know.

How did Christopher find out?

I was a bit puzzled.

However, before I could ask, Jason told me that the police had found the remaining drugs at Kyle's house, which Lawrence had admitted to tampering with during the live broadcast. The drugs indeed had issues, further confirming one of Lawrence's crimes.

When Lawrence is charged with multiple crimes, it will be nearly impossible for him to escape this time.

As for what Lawrence said after being arrested, none of it was true. He was acting according to a script I had guided him through. But his actions of hitting me and attempting to kill me, including the injuries I sustained, were not part of the script. Moreover, he had consulted about mental illness, and the police could trace his contacts with the psychiatric hospital. All his excuses were futile.

Of course, there was another reason.

Missy confessed.

Yes, Missy was also arrested.

This was thanks to Vance, who cooperated perfectly.

When I lured Missy into the car and showed her the live broadcast of Lawrence's confession, her arrogance immediately disappeared.

The intimidating person Vance found scared Missy, who was already timid and only bullied the weak. Coupled with the stimulation from the live broadcast, she knew Lawrence was finished, and so was she.

Then Vance's person offered her a deal: if she confessed honestly, they would find a way to clear her name. Although they couldn't save Lawrence, at least she wouldn't be implicated.

Missy, being as selfish as Lawrence, immediately confessed all the details of the crimes, which Vance's people recorded.

They then drove her and the evidence to the police.

Missy only realized something was wrong when they reached the police station. She shouted, "Didn't you say that if I cooperated, I would be free?"

But the police didn't give her a chance to throw a tantrum and arrested her. Her confession was recorded on video, and she couldn't escape, especially since it was evidence against Lawrence.

Lawrence probably didn't expect Missy to be the final piece of evidence for his conviction.

But that wasn't his only mistake.

There was also Kyle's medication.

Lawrence probably didn't know why I insisted on supervising Kyle's medication. Kyle was disobedient and would forget to take his medicine if not watched.

So, I found the remaining medication in the cabinet.

But I had another question: Kyle's medication was kept in a hidden compartment. How did the police find it so easily?

Could it have been Christopher?

It seemed likely. I couldn't have done it!

Christopher had stayed at my house. Although I wasn't sure how Kyle let him know about the hidden compartment, he was the most likely person to know about it besides me.

"Ms. Turner, I remember specifically reminding you to be careful! Do not alert Lawrence, and ensure your safety while investigating and collecting evidence.

Your risky behavior this time was very unwise, even foolish," Jason said directly, bringing me back to reality.

I knew I had been foolish, but I couldn't wait any longer. "Mr. Cook, I know it was dangerous, and I had prepared for the worst. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent you that will. But I couldn't think of any other way."

Lawrence was too cunning. Even with the detective's help, we couldn't find anything useful. Time was running out. Lawrence had already decided to kill me. If he succeeded, the truth would be buried forever. If he failed, he would be alerted, making it even harder to find evidence."
