Chapter 1400
Albert assumed that Hylda had turned him in for the accident seven years ago. ‘It had to be her! Sinceshe had shown no mercy, I wouldn’t hesitate to fight back either.novelbin
After all, I didn’t do a thing that would lead to the car crash back then. Even if I were convicted of thecrime, I’d be considered an accomplice at most with a good lawyer.’
Albert’s mind raced with various thoughts. Finally, the door to the interrogation room swung open. Thepolice began the process of collecting his personal information.
Albert was visibly on edge. Without waiting for the officer to speak, he blurted out, “Has Hylda beenapprehended, sir? Did she rat me out? What did she tell you? Did she pin all the blame on me?”
The police officer paused and looked at him while saying.” Sorry, we can’t disclose that information.”
Hearing this, Albert immediately confirmed his suspicions.” She’s trying to frame me and use me as ascapegoat! You have to investigate this case thoroughly, officer!”
He exclaimed.
The police maintained a composed demeanor and said, “We won’t convict the innocent, nor will we letthe guilty escape. As long as you cooperate with us, we’ll conduct a thorough investigation and clearyour name.”
As long as Albert and Hylda kept their mouths shut, it would be hard to convict them since the caselacked evidence. However, Albert was overly selfish. He knew Hylda was doomed, yet he was notthinking about comforting her or finding a way to protect her. Instead, he thought, ‘What’s one morecharge when she’s already facing the death penalty? I can live the rest of my life in peace as long as Ishift the blame onto Hylda.’
Thus, Albert told the truth about Rainee’s accident. In his version of events, he was a good mandevoted to his family. However, he slipped up one day and got involved with
Hylda. From then on, she clung to him. He could not resist the temptation and gradually entered anaffair with Hylda. However, she was insatiable.
Knowing Albert wanted a son, she got pregnant with someone else and claimed it was his. Shedemanded a place in his life. Albert loved his wife and did not want a divorce. But Hylda’s jealousyknew no bounds. She tampered with Rainee’s car, causing her to have an accident. He learned aboutthe situation much later, but it was too late. Albert stated that he did not report Hylda to the authoritiesbecause he did not want the child to lose his mother.
“The biggest regret of my life is trusting her. If I had known she was this ruthless, I would have cut tieswith her no matter what. Please understand, sir. I am only guilty of covering up her crimes. I imploreyou to catch her and give my wife the justice she deserves!” Albert cried.
The two police officers in the room exchanged glances, signaling to each other that they knew Albertwas faking it.
Someone else had reported the incident, not Hylda. They were just there to take his statement as partof the routine procedure. Albert, however, took the opportunity to confess to the incident.
The officers knew that what he said was not the truth, but one thing was certain-that accident was notjust an accident.
They initially thought that Walter’s death was a straight murder case. They did not expect it to lead to acar crash that occurred seven years ago.
Albert was temporarily detained, and the police quickly contacted Stella. She was the survivor of theaccident and the daughter of the deceased. They assumed that she was bound to know something.
Stella was exceptionally thrilled when she received the call. The case from seven years ago couldfinally be reopened. She hurriedly headed down to the police station without even changing.
