Under the Heiress' Facade



Chapter 755

The workers brought a chair inside the room for Xavier to sit. "Listen to Captain Olson. After that, I'll take you to see the pretty lady."

"Oh, the pretty lady is still here? I want to see her. I want to see the pretty lady," Xavier said while glancing around.

Meanwhile, Hera looked at Xavier's silly demeanor through the monitors in the control room with a solemn expression.noveldrama

She suddenly heard Bernard whisper in her ear, "Do you think the Killians owe him an award for his acting skills?"

Hera was at a loss for words after hearing him.

Nathan asked his subordinate to bring a Rubik's cube to Interrogation Room 4. After handing it to Xavier to play with, the interrogation continued.

"Speak up. Tell me the truth about Mr. Greg's death 12 years ago," Nathan said.

The assistant's hands were on the keyboard, ready to type Gemma's statement. He assumed that she would be upfront about everything since they already complied with her request.

On the contrary, that did not happen.

"So many years have passed. I don't remember exactly what happened," Gemma said, still holding the cross pendant. "I've already told the police everything back then. You can refer to that year's statement."

"If you had told us the truth back then, the Killians wouldn't have ended up in this situation! "Nathan banged the voice recorder against the table.

Gemma muttered something under her breath as her grip tightened slightly on the cross pendant. She began to recite some prayers, deliberately ignoring what Nathan said.

Seeing that made him switch on the voice recorder in his hand. A recording began to play. "That day, Gemma invited me to Daisy Courtyard. I found it very strange as no one else was there. It was as if someone had intentionally sent away the maids.

"Greg was lying on the ground when I arrived at the hall at Daisy Courtyard. He was covered in blood, and his eyes were still wide open. By then, he was no longer breathing as his body had already gone cold."

Rhett's voice came through the voice recorder, interrupting Gemma's prayers. That recording was taken during Bernard's interrogation session with Rhett back then.

Gemma gripped the cross pendant more tightly than ever as she continued reciting her prayers. Although she seemed calm, the firm grip on the cross pendant said otherwise.

Nathan turned up the volume and let the recording continue to play. He wanted to see how long Gemma would last.

Although Xavier seemed oblivious while playing with the Rubik's Cube, he was actually paying attention without giving himself away.

Meanwhile, Hera was still in the control room. She narrowed her eyes while ordering the workers to turn up the volume of her earpiece. She began to listen intently.

Bernard wrapped an arm around her shoulder and drew her into his embrace as the recording continued.

"I was startled at that time. Then, Gemma appeared and asked me what I was doing and why Greg was lying on the ground.

"She went closer and finally seemed to notice that something had happened to Greg. She began asking what I had done to him.

"Although I was terrified at that moment, I still realized something was amiss. Gemma had invited me to meet at Daisy Courtyard, but she ended up being late. Greg was even found dead there. Everything seemed very odd.

"Very quickly, I noticed blood stains on her sleeve. When I asked her what was up with the blood stains on her clothes, she immediately burst into tears.

"That was when I realized that she was the murderer and intended to frame me. Gemma noticed that I had already seen through her, so she began sobbing, saying that she didn't mean to kill him.

"She became too agitated, having lost control of her emotions. Greg told her that although their dad wanted him to succeed his position as the head of the family, he planned to step aside for Lucius instead.

"Despite knowing that everyone was vying for that spot, Greg was still willing to give up the position to Lucius. Gemma couldn't accept that and became upset. While arguing with Greg, she accidentally stabbed him with the fruit knife she was holding."

The cross pendant Gemma was holding suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.
