The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 310

Before revealing the true puppet master, Zachary bowed deeply towards where Ellinor was seated, apologizing with a face full of

remorse.

“Miss Ellinor, I’m really sorry. I was under threat when I said those things that implicated you, almost landing such a kind person like you in jail.”

Ellinor shook her head, “It’s okay, as long as you can clear my name now.”

“Don’t worry, I definitely will!”

Zachary started recounting his unfortunate journey to the police….

“So here’s the thing, I was handing out flyers that day at The Bund of Trent River, I took a break on a bench because I was knackered. I saw a girl sitting next to me daydreaming, so I thought I’d give her a flyer. I was just promoting the barbecue joint to that girl Ms. Mendoza, who is a really nice person, she patiently listened to my whole spiel, unlike other people, those of us who hand out leaflets. stay away from us. Not only did Ms. Mendoza listen to my whole spiel, she also supported me, she even became a member at the barbecue joint, letting me get a commission. That day was the first time I met Ms. Mendoza, I didn’t know her before that.”

A police officer was diligently recording Zachary’s statement, after finishing he looked up and said, “Keep going!”

“The next morning, while I was handing out flyers at a different location, a woman wearing a mask and sunglasses approached me, she said there was a temp job that paid way more than handing out flyers, and asked if I was up for it.

Hearing that the pay was good, of course I wanted to know what kind of job it was, so I agreed to check it out with her. However, I didn’t expect that woman to just lead me to a deserted alley, telling me to help her frame someone, promising me a 500k reward once it’s done, and even said that she had already transferred a 100k advance to my account the night before. I was totally puzzled, I didn’t know her before, how could she have transferred so much money to me last night? But when I checked my account balance, there really was an extra 100k, transferred last night! I admit, I was tempted when I heard about the reward, but when I found out she wanted me to do something illegal, I immediately refused and told her I would return the advance. But when I got home, I found that my wife and son were gone, then I got a call from the woman who approached me in the morning, she demanded that I do as she says, or else I would never see my wife and son again. For the safety of my wife and son, I had no choice but to do as she demanded… That woman told me to go to the hospital at night to pretend to harass Ms. Howard, but not to actually do anything to Ms. Howard, just to make a scene, then wait for the police to find me, and push the blame onto Miss Ellinor, saying that it was Ms. Mendoza who instructed me to harass Ms. Howard, if I didn’t cooperate, that woman would separate me and my family forever… Officer, I didn’t want to do this, I really had no other choice…”

The officer was taking notes, frowning more and more as he listened, after writing down the statement, he asked, “Who is this woman. you’re talking about? Why is she going to such lengths to frame Ellinor?”

Zachary thought of that woman, his eyes filled with resentment, “It’s her! Haillie! Officer, it was Haillie who instructed me to do this!”

Haillie’s face turned pale, “…What are you babbling about? I’ve never seen you before! Today is the first time I’ve seen you, why are you framing me like this?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Zachary said firmly, “Haillie, it was you, you told me to pretend to harass Ms. Howard at the hospital, and then push the blame onto Ellinor! You told me it was because she stole your best friend’s

boyfriend, so you wanted to eliminate this rival for your friend!”
