Chapter 1429: Heartless
In the following hour-long explanation, Brody talked about his relationship with Regina. He was acautious person, probably afraid of losing his money and belongings, so whenever he gave Reginamoney or gifts, he would leave audio recordings and invoice evidence. Since Regina didn't want toreceive transfers, Brody always used cash, mostly handled by Elijah. That's why Brody didn't holdElijah responsible after the incident.
Because he didn't want his own affairs to be exposed.
Because Elijah had helped cover up many things between him and Regina, Brody naturally had toconsider Elijah.
At the same time, Brody also mentioned the matter of Regina's child. He had only recently noticedthat Vere didn't resemble him at all. At first, he thought Vere resembled his mother, Regina, but itwasn't until he accidentally saw Regina having dinner with Vere and another man that he realizedVere bore a striking resemblance to that man.
Anxiety surged within him. He had invested a lot of effort and care into Vere as his son, so howcould he accept this?
He considered confronting Regina about it, but he realized that Regina, with her temperament,would never admit it.
So Brody was left alone with this question for a long time. Due to this matter, cracks appeared in hisrelationship with Regina. For example, when Regina used Vere's name to demand money or otherthings from him, he would find excuses to delay because he already harbored the thought that Verewasn't his child. Naturally, he became distant from both Vere and Regina.
But his indifference displeased Regina greatly. After expressing her dissatisfaction, she startedcontacting the other man more frequently, and Brody encountered him more often too. Then, Brodysecretly took Vere's hair and conducted a paternity test, and the result was obvious: Vere was nothis child.
This incident occurred during the time of the Armstrong Corp incident and was one of the mainreasons for Brody's severe condition.
Brody revealed everything he needed to say. Now, he wanted to sue Regina through the police andreclaim all the money and benefits she had obtained from him.
When this request was made, the police were stunned, but they quickly informed Kian. Faced withthis demand, Kian scoffed and asked the police to relay the message to Regina.
Although both of them were currently at the police station, their interests and goals were different,so they began to turn against each other.
At this point, they didn't need to worry too much about their relationship because it was alreadydisintegrating. The next step was to expose each other's weaknesses so they could obtain moreinformation smoothly.
The police station was already quite busy, dealing with online matters and many other cases. Now,the issue between Brody and Regina was specifically handed over to a task force formed by severalpolice officers. Their task today was to take statements from both individuals.
Brody firmly insisted that Regina was involved in the deaths of Page and Regina. Of course, Reginadenied it. She faced the police, repeatedly pleading, "Please, officers, you must give me justice.Don't believe his false accusations. I won't accept this charge. I admit I've wronged my sister, but Ididn't harm her. I'm not that heartless!"
At that moment, Brody provided the evidence he had initially told Kian about-the surveillance videoof Regina meeting him.
The police had examined the video and confirmed its authenticity; it was the original footage.
In the video, it was clear that the time was a week before Brody's planned trip.
Regina and Brody met at a restaurant, and it seemed that Brody had intentionally arranged for themto sit close to the surveillance camera, allowing every word and action to be clearly captured.novelbin
After their meeting, Regina wasted no time and eagerly said to Brody, "Why don't you pretend toreconcile with her? The best way is to make her believe that your relationship is repaired. Then,take her out for a while, and during this time, something unexpected happens that leaves herpermanently disabled or bedridden. After that, we can control the situation as we wish."
Brody seemed hesitant and remained silent, not responding to Regina's words.
Noticing his hesitation, Regina quickly added, "Don't you want to be with me forever? She keeps aclose eye on you every moment, especially when she's facing me. She constantly accuses you. Ifyou soften your heart at this moment, I'm afraid she will become ruthless towards you."
Regina deliberately guided the relationship between Brody and Page, subtly manipulating Brody'semotions, attempting to convey to him that Page had become heartless towards him.
Brody remained silent for a long time and then spoke softly, "If she truly becomes disabled, I willstand by her side. Otherwise, do you think Grace and Camille would just sit idly by?"
"That's a matter for later. Even if you don't abandon her, it would only involve spending money totake care of her. But you can openly be with me now. As for Grace and the others, they won't bewatching you every day. Can they really be by your side, monitoring you all the time?"
Sensing Brody's wavering, Regina intensified her efforts and said, "Didn't I tell you before? Whenyou were hospitalized due to the company's affairs, she actually despised you. If something hadhappened to you at that time, based on what I know about my sister, I doubt she would have stayedby your side."
According to Brody's confession, Regina had been whispering in his ear for a long time. She toldhim that Page had long been dissatisfied with him. Page had complained to Regina multiple timesabout Brody's situation during his hospitalization. If something were to happen to Brody, Page wouldabandon him as well.
Regina told Brody all of this, and he had no reason to doubt her. He trusted Regina because of hergood relationship with Page and their many years together.
Thus, Brody was swayed by Regina's words. The sleeping pills and the recommended tourist spotswere all provided by Regina. She had a direct involvement in this series of events, although she didnot carry them out herself. She was the mastermind.
Upon learning all of this, the police began to question Regina. Perhaps unable to withstand theprolonged pressure and considering Vere still being held by the kidnappers while she herself wasdetained, facing repetitive questioning every day, Regina's emotions collapsed completely in thatinstant.
She raised her hands, held her head, and looked at the police officer sitting in front of her and thedimly lit room. Then, she burst into laughter.
