Chapter 1168: 1168. Ti and again, the flukes are all destroyed
“Elly Campbell…”
Sophie Baker stepped forward to argue with Elly Campbell but was held back by lody Baker who was equally shocked.
At this point, hadn’t she understood what Elly Campbell was saying?
Their successful arrival here was not because Jas Campbell was particularly capable, but because Adam Jones and his wife had allowed it—they had simply walked into a trap.
lody Baker’s eyes, defeated and grey, fixed on the sheets of paper in Elly Campbell’s hands. Without looking, she knew it must be Benjamin Forest’s confession.
Or even if Benjamin Forest hadn’t confessed, the two of them, who had never had any dealings with Benjamin Forest, had mysteriously shown up here and probably already aroused their suspicions.
Now there was no way out. Instead of bickering with Elly Campbell, it was better to soften up to her and get through this ordeal first.
Even if Benjamin Forest had implicated them, it was only that Sophie had gone to save Adam. She hadn’t been involved in the other misdeeds.
Even if they arrested Sophie, what could they possibly convict her of?
Was saving Adam Jones a cri?
With this analysis, lody Baker cald down, looked at Elly Campbell, and said serenely,
“What exactly do you want?”
The restrained anger she saw was Elly Campbell’s, yet she seed more like a villain, proud of the bad deeds she had committed.
“Nothing.”
Elly Campbell shook her head, looked up at lody Baker’s suddenly cald face, and smiled,
“Do you really think that because you didn’t participate in the whole process of kidnapping Adam, and even risked your lives to save him, you can rest easy?”
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the originally calm gaze sharpened within the next second.
“And continue to shalessly consider yourselves as Adam’s lifesavers?”
The accusations from Elly Campbell hit right on the mark, sending a shiver through lody Baker’s heart; her pupils shrank sharply, and she unconsciously avoided Elly Campbell’s eyes.
“Or, are you planning to vehently deny your involvent in framing , thinking that I will be left with no recourse?”
lody Baker, seeing Elly Campbell’s confident deanor, suddenly felt a surge of unease.
“Unfortunately for you, you’ve indeed miscalculated your old lover. Being one of Ian Foster’s people, they’re used to leaving evidence at every turn. That phone call you made proposing to pin the kidnapping on , he recorded it all.”
She lifted the sheet of paper, “This has the full confession of Benjamin Forest and his fingerprints. As for that recording, it wouldn’t be difficult for the police to retrieve it from his phone.”
She watched as lody Baker and Sophie Baker, who had just regained their composure, turned pale as paper in the next mont, a smile spreading even wider across her face.
Yet they still clung to hope, after all, it had been nine years; even if Benjamin Forest had saved the evidence, it might not have been preserved.
Could it be that Benjamin Forest never changed his phones?
Seeing that her expression had softened slightly, Elly Campbell continued,
“You don’t think that just because nine years have passed, the recording would be gone?”
Elly Campbell sat down on a chair, assud a more comfortable position looking at the mother and daughter, and smiled,
“With today’s technology, do you think recovering a re piece of data is difficult?”
lody Baker’s repeated wishful thinking was shattered by a few words from Elly Campbell, and she felt she was going mad.
No wonder Sophie was so agitated that day.
