As soon as these words came out, an uproar broke out from the crowd. As Lara’s voice was quite unique, just a few phrases would be enough to recognize it, not to mention such a long statement. However, it didn’t cross their minds that it was really her, so how would she wriggle herself out of this now?
With looks of schadenfreude on their faces, they turned to Lara. As a matter of fact, after what happened back then, everyone didn’t say it out loud because they were afraid of Edward and Lara’s influence, but they all knew it in their hearts that those two were the ones who had planned it.
And now, Eugene had made his counterattack by bringing in the evidence one by one. Like a knife slowly slicing meat, he watched as she made her last struggle before death.
Oh, it really made one wonder how Edward would react when he found out that his wife was actually such a vicious person. Yet, he was still rather composed now because he was a part of this plan, so everything was within his expectations.
However, it didn’t occur to him that Lara would be so careless, not even knowing that someone. had recorded her conversation. At the same time, Lara was filled with remorse; she was too careless and didn’t know that her assistant had blurted out to Issac the fact that she had sent the assistant to seduce him. In addition, she thought that Isaac was working for her the whole time and was already her henchman. Thus, she didn’t guard against him, but it was already too late to say anything now as the voice recording continued to play.
“Will Brian believe that Eugene killed his own mother to have a foothold?” Isaac asked. “You have a point. Put it this way, then. Initially, Eugene wanted to create a fake accident as a fudge to show us that he was sincere about breaking off all ties with his mother, but it backfired unexpectedly and his mother really died in the accident. That way, even if Eugene didn’t do it on purpose, Brain won’t let him get away with it, either. As long as the brothers fall out with each other, it’s mission accomplished for you. “What about me? I’ll be dead if I fall into Eugene’s hands.”
“It works as well if you go directly to Brian, and it will be best if you can bump into him unexpectedly. You’re just carrying out orders and have no other choice, so Brian can’t do anything to you and will look for Eugene to get even instead.” “Miss Lara, will you really give me a million after I do this?”
“Of course, it’s not the first time that we’re working together, right? Did I give you a penny less from the 200,000 I promised you the last time?” “Thank you, Miss Lara. Don’t worry, I’ll find a chance soon to get this done for you.”
The recording stopped at this point and Isaac turned to everyone. “This is a recording of my conversation with Lara Roberts that day in a private suite. Because of the fake girlfriend incident from back then, I became wary and wanted to keep this as protection. If she doesn’t pay me, I’ll use this against her, but I didn’t think that it can be used as evidence now!” This time, Eugene didn’t look at Lara, but kept his eyes on Edward instead. “Is there anything else you would like to say?”
With a stunned expression, it finally dawned on Edward that Isaac was the one telling the truth and he gaped at Lara blankly, hoping that she would convince him again. ‘Is what Isaac is saying true? Are you really the one who hired someone to kill Ellen?”
As she trembled, Lara was one who had always made a clean kill all these years. Even though she had targeted Eugene many times, he never got a hold on her even once. How did she end up in this state today?
Despite that, she continued to argue. “It’s obvious that the recording is fake. Am I so dumb as to let him have a recording when I’m hiring someone to do something like this?”
Giving Eugene an eye-roll, Edward seemed to be asking whether this explanation would pass. On the other hand, Eugene burst into laughter. Seeing how terrified Edward was, he suddenly felt that it was truly more gratifying than killing Edward.
