Chapter 420
Chapter 420
"Skylar, do not play any tricks. What exactly did Valerie do? Why did the police take her away?"
Just then, Jasper started to feel a little uneasy.
He felt that it was impossible for Skylar to accuse Valerie without any evidence. He could not help but
think of the time that Coralie had almost been abducted many years ago.
At that time, Valerie had asked Coralie to leave.
Jasper did not dare to claim that that incident had nothing to do with Valerie now.
"Jasper, you and Valerie have been together for so long. Now that the police have taken her away,
shouldn't you think that it's normal?"
By the time Skylar had finished speaking, he was already inside the hospital's elevator.
Jasper was left alone. He stood there and felt a faint sense of uneasiness.
He wanted to believe in Valerie's kindness, but sometimes, he also suspected that Valerie was lying...
For example, what had happened to Finley.
When Skylar arrived at the ward, the first thing Coralie asked him was, "Did the police manage to arrest
the murderer? Did Finley confess?"
"The police caught two kidnappers. Finley and the other kidnapper had fallen into the river, and died."
Coralie's expression froze after she heard Skylar's words.
"He's dead? No! He hasn't even told me who the killer was! How could he die?"
Coralie was very emotional.
She had already decided that once she knew who the real killer was, she would press charges and
make sure that person paid for their actions back then!
"Don't worry, I already have a plan."
Skylar was afraid that her mental state would affect the fetus so he immediately told her a little about it
in order to calm her down.
"Plans? What plans? You know who it is, don't you? Tell me who it is!"
"When I'm 100% sure, you will be the first to know."
What Skylar wanted to do now was to connect Valerie to the crimes that she had committed and make
her pay for her actions.
He was able to find the driver from back when Coralie had the miscarriage. Skylar planned to compile
all of her crimes together after the driver arrived in A City and confessed.
"You... Alright."
Since Skylar had said so, Coralie knew that she could not press on any further. Otherwise, she would
be causing trouble for no reason.
The most important thing for her now was to ensure the safety of the child.
"Yes, you just need to rest well. Leave everything else to me."
"Okay. By the way, how is Auntie Ford?"
Coralie felt that if this child could survive, then the kidnapping was definitely a blessing in disguise.
During that period, the misunderstandings between her and Lillian had decreased, and Lillian even
admitted that she was her daughter-in-law.
This meant that Lillian would gradually accept her marriage with Skylar.
"She had an operation and will need to be bedridden for now. She will be in that condition for at least
half a year."
Lillian's injuries were severe. Her condition was serious and she also had a fever over the last few
days. However, Skylar did not tell Coralie so that she would not worry.
The next day, Skylar received a phone call from Ned, telling him that the recording device had been
repaired and that there was something inside that he should listen to.
Just as Skylar arrived at the police station, he heard a commotion inside.
"How much money is needed to bail her out? Tell me."
It was Jasper's voice. He usually sounded friendly, but that day, he looked completely different.
"Sir, Ms. Rae is currently a major suspect. Therefore, she must stay here."
The police officer explained to Jasper kindly.
"A major suspect? What is she capable of doing? Don't tell me that you are accusing her of conspiring
and kidnapping with those gamblers."
Skylar went in after he heard Jasper's words and said, "Yes, I think that's possible."
"Skylar? Why are you here?"
Jasper turned around and saw Skylar. He was a little surprised. In his opinion, Coralie and Lillian had
been rescued. This would not have anything to do with him anymore.
"I came here to listen to something. Are you interested in listening to it together?"
As Skylar spoke, he continued to walk inside.
As Skylar had been invited by Captain Andrews, no one tried to stop him.
When Jasper saw that no one stopped him, he decided to follow him in and take a look.
When Skylar arrived in Ned's office, Ned looked up and saw Jasper standing behind Skylar. He looked
slightly anxious as he asked, "President Holland, who is this person behind you?"
"He's the person that comes in everyday demanding to bail Valerie out. Let him listen to the recording
together. When he wakes up, you will be able to enjoy some peace and quiet around here."
Skylar's words were full of sarcasm.
However, Jasper could hear from Skylar's words that he should know more. In order to help Valerie,
Jasper did not say a word, but only stood behind Skylar and listened.
"Fine, now that the matter is out in the open, there was indeed some important evidence that has been
retrieved from the recordings."
Ned glanced at Jasper and nodded. He then clicked on an audio file on his computer in front of him.
Soon, the conversation between the two parties played from the audio file.
Since Finley was an employee of Jasper's company, Jasper had met him many times. Therefore, when
Finley spoke, Jasper could recognize him immediately!
He frowned without saying a word, and continued to listen.
Everyone in the room could hear that Finley was arguing with another kidnapper in the car.
The recording did not mean anything until Finley said, "Because I was in prison for 10 years on her
behalf... that woman had killed someone in a car accident before. Coincidentally, the victim turned out
to be..."
Jasper's expression did not change at all after he heard the recording.
When the contents in the recording had finished, Skylar glanced at Jasper and asked him, "Do you
have anything to say?"
"I can explain on her behalf." From NôvelDrama.Org.
"You?"
"Yes, it was not Valerie who drove the car back then, but it was her mother, Amelia. Valerie took the
blame out of filial piety."
Jasper told Skylar and Ned what Valerie had told him back then.
Ned heard this and immediately said, "Sir, we have investigated this case for the past few days and we
have confirmed that it was Valerie who drove the car at that time."
"It's impossible!"
"Also, her mother, Amelia, does not even have a driver's license. We have already checked."
Ned added another sentence as he saw that Jasper still did not believe him.
At the same time, Ned showed the information of the case ten years ago from his computer. Because it
was a homicide case, the information was saved into a VCD.
There was CCTV footage and it showed many cars passing by one after another.
When a red Mercedes passed by, Ned paused the video.
Because the camera was placed in front of the traffic light, the video was bright. It clearly showed that it
was Valerie who was in the car!
The driver looked very young and it would be impossible for it to be Amelia.
"That's enough." After they saw the video, Skylar said, "I already know about this matter. You can just
follow your standard protocol. If you need my help, you can contact me at any time. I will be happy to
assist."
"Okay, thank you, President Holland."
Valerie was the daughter of the Rae family. It would be somewhat difficult to sentence her to a crime
from ten years ago.
However, if Skylar was willing to assist, then everything would be completely different.
