Chapter 36 - (End)

After Officer D’s meeting with the decorating expert, the expert retracted his confession claiming that I had bribed him. My editor friend B then sent them the recording.

The confession was ultimately held invalid.

I then especially applied makeup that made me look weak and went to the company, in my heartbroken and grieving appearance, to say a lamenting eulogy. The film emperor was also there. After inheriting his family business, his influence had greatly increased and this video had been spread far and wide.

In private, I hired a water army to sway the public’s opinion into criticizing the childhood sweetheart. Afterall, since the previous events had transpired, the childhood sweetheart’s image has plummeted down to rock bottom. It was in sharp contrast to the pitiful appearance of my weak and feeble self in the video. Some “passers-by” even reprimanded the childhood sweetheart and sympathized with me.

Next, after that recording was released, I used the public’s opinion to make people feel that Officer D had been colluding with the childhood sweetheart. The others who tried to use the locked door as a lead were also accused by the public as the childhood sweetheart’s futilely attempting to exonerate him.

Who knew if that locked door was specifically planted by the criminal in order to confuse the police? Officer D even used that point to explain that the childhood sweetheart couldn’t have done the murder. He was too resolute about it. Another example of an explanation I can conjure is how the childhood sweetheart could have deliberately locked the door in order to frame me thereby eliminating two people and receiving all the properties under their name.

In fact, locking the door done purposefully to lead them around. Afterall, the real cause of my husband’s death was excessive blood loss . As long as their attention is focused on the door, no one would continue checking about Drug C. No one would check my purchase of those surveillance monitors. This period of time would be enough for me to eliminate and clean other matters.

Soon after, my husband’s father had jumped off the building and committed suicide while news arrived of my husband’s mother acting deranged on wanting to chop the childhood sweetheart. Both of that information would help greatly in increasing my side’s influence. When all was said and done, they were still the family of the deceased. Their devastation could inspire the people’s sympathy.

Despite Officer D’s desperate attempts to defend the childhood sweetheart, even if he was able to prove that I did lock that door, it would still all be in vain. To some extent, the strong public opinion would have some form of sway on the judge’s sentence.

On the day of the hearing, I was hit by a car.

Naturally, I knew that the person who hit me did it intentionally.

The moment the car crashed, I heard the sound of glass shattering followed by seeing red. For a split second, I only saw blood red flesh, the crushing sound of the car wreck soon came after.

……

Two weeks later when I woke up in the hospital, everything was already settled.

The trial had already been conducted. The childhood sweetheart, on the account of a mental disorder, had been sentenced permanently to the mental asylum. My editor friend B had told me with a smile that he had specially arranged a ward for the childhood sweetheart together with my husband’s mother.

Officer D, dreading punishment, went in hiding. He was not yet arrested.

I knew I had won this case.

T/N: We have the ending folks! But don’t worry, there will still be two chapters of epilogue that I’m uploading soon! What do you think about this conclusion? Personally, I liked it. This kind of ending fits the overall theme of the story. (I’m imagining it as a movie hehe)
