Chapter 2069 Evidence Against Us

Meanwhile, in a mansion on the outskirts, Winnie was pacing about restlessly and checking her phone for the time almost everyother minute.

Yosef, on the contrary, could only lay on the couch, unable to move because both his arms were in a cast.

Argh! | hate Lucian Farwell! He could've hit me anywhere, yet he just had to break my arms... | can't even use my phone or playcards now!

Upon seeing how uneasy his mother was, Yosef couldn't help but sigh. “Mom, don't you think you're worrying unduly? You wereso calm and steady at the police station... Why are you so scared now that you're back?"

“You know nothing! I'm worried that whateverRoxanne's mother left behind might contain evidence of our crimes!" Winnie fumed as she glared at her son.

For a moment, Yosef was shocked, but he quickly got over it and grew cold as ice. "What evidence? That has nothing to do withme! | don't even remember having taken part in anything... You were the one responsible for poisoning Roxanne's mother todeath."

Needless to say, Winnie was furious at how her son was acting so frivolously.

Oh, the audacity! Does he not know what I've done for him? | only did what | did for him and his sister! That's it... It's time to laymy cards on the table!

"Oh, you were a part of it," Winnie muttered as she fixed a steely gaze upon her son. "In fact, you were the one who carried outthe deed."

Yosef was so stunned at his mother's claims that he would've jumped from the couch if it weren't for his broken arms.

"Don't spout nonsense, Mom," he retorted. "| was only five years old then, for goodness’ sake. How would | have helped youmurder someone at that age? You should turn yourself in if you're so scared!"

That, unfortunately, was the last straw for Winnie. Without a second thought, she rushed up to Yosef and slapped him hardacross the cheek.

"It's just my luck to have a son as useless as you! Why is my life so full of suffering? | want you out of my sight once your sister isback!" she yelled before bursting into tears.

Seeing his mother racked with sobs, Yosef gritted his teeth and tamped down his irritation. "That's enough. Why are you cryingwhen you were the one who slapped me? Anyway, Yuliana’s almost home. It'd be better to have her help you since | can't domuch in my current condition."

Just then, the sound of car horns rang out from the courtyard.

"Stop crying, Mom. | think Yuliana's back."

Winnie's sobs stopped abruptly as she dabbed away the tears she had so painstakingly squeezed out for the act. She rusheddown the stairs to welcome her beloved daughter.

Sure enough, Yuliana had arrived home with four strangers in tow.

The men were in all shapes and sizes, yet they were so ordinarily bland that no one on the streets would give them a secondlook.

That characteristic, however, was what gave them the best cover. After all, their job entailed helping wealthy folks tackle some ofthe trickiest cases-from investigating a homewrecker to catching a cheating spouse in the act.

Winnie's face lit up when she finally saw Yuliana, but the same couldn't be said for the latter.

“Mom, you'd better be careful," Yuliana muttered sternly as she marched into the living room with the four men following behind."You've just been released from the police station, so I'm sure your every move will be monitored. You haven't gone out, haveyou?"

At first, Winnie shook her head, but it didn't take long before she started squirming under her daughter's stare. "I-I did go out for awhile last night. Will | really be followed? The police don't have any evidence, though..."

Yuliana's face instantly turned black as thunder. "What makes you think you'll be safe outside? Tell me. Where on earth did yougo? Do you think Roxanne will let you off the hook that easily?"

Stunned by how grim Yuliana was, Winnie began to regret her own actions. "| was going to go to the Jarvis residence, but in theend, | got so worried that | passed by it without stopping. T-That isn't enough to expose me, is it?"
