Chapter 16 Impatiently
Before Dylan had a chance to speak, Lily was eager to convict Laura. This behavior … made people feel uncomfortable. Lily was overwhelmed with joy. It was only when she saw Mrs. Taylor’s winks that she realized something was wrong. At the same time, she saw Laura walking slowly out of the elevator behind a tall man. The smile on Lily’s face disappeared instantly. Then came a deep chill.
“Marcus found some unused pills in Jones’ room … so they came over to confront her face to face,” Dylan explained. He looked at Lily with dislike in his eyes. Lily’s reaction was far from his impression.
Dylan couldn’t help but wonder, was Lily really as innocent as he thought she was? Lily stood in the middle of the crowd, somewhat confused, with a shocked face and said, “How could it be?”
“It must be Laura. Who else could it be? She’s been at odds with Jones since she arrived. Maybe she’s the one who put the rest of the drugs there!” Lily’s emotions were a bit agitated, and she couldn’t wait to change the thought of others. But except for Mrs. Taylor, no one reacted the way Lily expected. Even Dylan … looked at her with suspect.
Laura said meaningfully with her arms folded up, “I just came to the Taylor house and I’m not familiar with the environment. How do I know the secret compartment in Jones’ room?”
“God knows!” Lily retorted, “Maybe, you have poked around in advance.” Laura laughed, her eyes full of sarcasm. That’s a lame excuse. Lily was simply messing with herself at the moment. Laura turned her attention to the other side of the room, where Dylan frowned and thought. After all, he came from a good family, and he would not dare to mess about in such an illegal matter.
Laura pressed her lips together and said impatiently, “It’s useless for us to argue about this here, the evidence has already been transferred to the police. It will take less than half a day to tell whose fingerprints are left on it.” As she said this, she looked inquiringly at Dylan, who knew all about these things.
As expected, Lily stopped talking after listened what Laura said. She pressed her lips together and looked at Mrs. Taylor.
“The first thing you need to do is to go into the ward. We are here to confront, not to listen to you arguing for the suspect.” Laura still doesn’t stop, contemptuously looking Lily up and down.
She really messed up the thing. It would have been fine if she had just been defending Jones, but Lily had gotten herself into trouble by doing this. Laura shook her head and pushed open the door.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Jones was already awake, lying on the bed and staring at the door.
Laura waved and greeted, “You’re awake! So you heard what we just said, right? Are you going to confess, or are you going to wait for the lab results from the police?”
Jones pursed her bloodless lips tightly together and said nothing.
Laura looked at her hand which had an intravenous drip and snickered, “By the way, I saw the medicine you used, and it’s stink. If you didn’t handle it properly, the smell will still be on you.”
Jones’ face went pale, gasped heavily, and fainted.
