Chapter 157 Might as Well Be Dead
At that moment, Lydia was shocked by Queenie’s gaze. With her lips trembling, she asked hesitantly, “Queenie, you must think this through. Murder is a huge crime. If someone found out, you’d be sentenced to life in prison.”
Enraged, Queenie scolded, “Mom!” This successfully shut Lydia’s mouth.
Holding Lydia’s hand, Queenie pulled the corners of her mouth and said, “Weren’t you involved in the death of Nicole’s mother back then?”
A trace of startle flashed in Lydia’s eyes. Here I thought I had concealed this matter very well. It never crossed my mind that Queenie was aware of this matter!
Dodging Queenie’s stares, Lydia blurted under her breath, “Don’t spew nonsense!”
Tightening her hand that was holding Lydia’s, Queenie said, “Mom! You managed to murder someone without anyone realizing five years ago, so why can’t you do it now?”
Staring at the malicious-looking Queenie in front of her, Lydia swallowed her saliva. She had no idea what to say.
Upon looking at the hesitant look on Lydia’s face, Queenie continued by saying, “Mom, if we are to get rid of this matter, we have no choice but to get rid of Daniella.”
Lydia gave in. If Queenie is exposed to be involved in this issue, our lives will definitely be chaotic. Silencing Daniella seems to be the only solution as of this moment.
“Queenie, if you really want to do this, we must execute the plan concisely. We mustn’t let others suspect us even the slightest,” Lydia said. Truth be told, she did not come from a clean background.
In her early days, Lydia hung around lots of pubs and clubs. She had seen and used many dirty tactics. Only after she got married to William and became a lady of the upper class did she stop using most of her dirty acts.
Initially, Lydia did not wish for Queenie to be involved with such dirty tricks. However, they had to do it since things had come to this stage.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I have my own plan,” Queenie said.
Seeing that things have come to this, I can’t be blamed for being ruthless! Daniella, you’re the one seeking death, so I’ll simply grant your wish!
…
The public opinion circulating around the Internet was getting serious within these few days. Initially, Nicole had cleared off her suspicion in regards to the plagiarism scandal. Yet, she had once again become the bad person since she was being deemed as the one who insisted on suing Daniella and caused her to commit suicide.
Nicole clicked open the interview link regarding Daniella’s suicide. It wasa video, and the reporter was questioning Daniella in the video.
In the video, Daniella looked exactly as Nicole had seen two days ago. Her face was pale, and her whole person looked rickety.
The reporter’s camera was facing Daniella, and it even zoomed in on Daniella’s bandaged wrist. Then, the reporter asked, “Ms. Zimmer, why did you resort to suicide? Everyone on this Earth will make mistakes. You can’t simply choose death over one mistake made.”
Listening to the question asked by the reporter, Nicole could easily guess the real motive behind this interview. Hah! This must be a self-directed play by Queenie and Daniella!
With her face ghastly pale, Daniella glanced at the camera timidly. However, she quickly retrieved her gaze.
Shortly after, Daniella’s eyes instantly got teary, and she even choked down her sobs in between her words. “As a designer, plagiarism is the most unacceptable issue. I-I just got a little impulsive during that time. I was thinking I could use that chance to let everyone understand the consequences of plagiarism.”
Daniella stuttered, and she even welled up and choked in tears nearing the end of her speech.
Upon seeing that, the reporter immediately consoled her, “Ms. Zimmer, don’t be sad. You can just say anything that you wish to say.”
On the camera, Daniella cried for a while before she looked up with her teary eyes. She sniffed and said adamantly, “I know I’m at fault in this matter, but I have no regrets. If there were a next time, I’d still do the same thing.”
“It’s good that you have found a way out of this, Ms. Zimmer. Please don’t take your life for granted,” the reporter immediately consoled her.
After she heard the reporter’s comforting words, Daniella closed her eyes, looking hopeless. Then, she reached out her hand, wiped her tears, and showed a pale smile. “If I couldn’t get Miss Lisa’s forgiveness, I might as well be dead.”
The video played until that part before it stopped.
