Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot - Chapter 660

Chapter 660: 219: Facing reality, Edward Thompson collapses!
 

Upon hearing Sylvia Thompson’s words, Edward Thompson felt dumbfounded.

All of his strength drained from him in an instant.

His face turned deathly pale.

He couldn’t even believe that the person in front of him was Sylvia Thompson, let alone believe that she said those words.

“Sylvia, what are you talking about?” Edward Thompson stood up from his chair, emotionally saying,”Have you forgotten? You said we were going out for dinner tonight, and you were waiting for me downstairs at my place. Halfway there, you said you forgot your bag…”

“Edward Thompson!” Officer Blogger furrowed his brow and scolded sternly, “Quiet!”

Edward Thompson had to close his mouth, staring straight at Sylvia Thompson, his eyes full of longing.

He hoped that what he had just heard was just a hallucination; he and Sylvia Thompson had always been closer than real siblings, she would definitely testify for him!

Definitely!

Sylvia Thompson was the only witness now, and if she didn’t help him, he would really be the murderer!

At this thought, cold sweat trickled down Edward Thompson’s forehead.

He was somewhat puzzled.

Unclear as to why he had ended up in this situation.

Sylvia Thompson covered her mouth with both hands and took a few steps back, “No… No… Bro, I didn’t… I’ve been with Tongtong all night, Tongtong can testify. I didn’t see you at all, why are you lying?”

Lying?

She said he was lying?

Hearing this, Edward Thompson looked at Sylvia Thompson with wide eyes, disbelief in his gaze.

If it weren’t for Sylvia Thompson saying she left her bag at home and asking him to get it, he wouldn’t have gone to her house.

But now,

She directly denied it!

Edward Thompson couldn’t accept this at all.

Why?!

Why would Sylvia Thompson do this to him?!

“It was you who asked me to go up! It was you!” Edward Thompson could hardly control his emotions.

He even began to doubt whether the person standing before him was really Sylvia Thompson.

No!

It’s impossible!

Sylvia Thompson couldn’t possibly treat him like this

“Edward Thompson, quiet down!” Shortly after, Officer Blogger looked at Miss Thompson,” You should take Miss Thompson to step aside first.”

“Okay.” Miss Thompson nodded.

Before Sylvia Thompson was led away, she couldn’t help but look back at Edward Thompson, “Bro, I don’t know why you keep lying, but I believe you wouldn’t kill anyone. You must have your reasons, right? You have to confess honestly; I believe the People’s Police will give you justice!”

Edward Thompson watched Sylvia Thompson’s retreating figure, his heart filled with indescribable feelings, and he really wanted to chase after her to ask.

It was clear that Sylvia Thompson was the one lying.

But Sylvia Thompson was here turning black into white.

They had always been closer than real siblings!

Who would’ve thought that Sylvia Thompson would turn her back on him so coldly?

Could it be that the sister he had loved so dearly for so many years was really an ungrateful and vicious man?

No!

He couldn’t believe it!

“Edward Thompson, calm down.” Officer Blogger continued, “You said you appeared at the deceased’s house late at night to help your sister, Sylvia Thompson, get her bag. Do you have any other witnesses besides her?”

“No.” Edward Thompson shook his head, trying hard to calm himself down, “I haven’t been feeling well these past few days, and I slept from noon today until 8:40 in the evening when I got up. After I got ready, I arrived downstairs around 8:50. At that time, my sister was already waiting for me downstairs! We walked a few steps, and she said she forgot her bag and asked me to help her get it!”

Edward Thompson had no idea that there would be a murder scene waiting for him upstairs at that time!

If he had known, he definitely wouldn’t have gone up.

What Edward Thompson didn’t expect even more was that Sylvia Thompson would deny all of this.

Could it be that…

At this moment, a terrifying thought emerged in Edward Thompson’s mind.

Was Sylvia Thompson the real murderer?

Did Sylvia Thompson kill James before intentionally leading him up there, and finally framing him for it all?

If that was the case, Sylvia Thompson was truly terrifying!

Edward Thompson’s scalp tingled as he said, “Officer Blogger, please believe me, I really didn’t lie!”

“However, your sister has an eyewitness.” Officer Blogger squinted slightly, “She has plenty of evidence to prove that she wasn’t in the neighborhood during the 19:00-22:00 time frame.”

“What?” Edward Thompson furrowed his brow tightly, “That’s impossible! She clearly asked me to go out for a late-night meal, and she was the one who asked me to go up and help get her bag! How could she have an eyewitness, unless! Unless that eyewitness is an accomplice! They killed James and now want to frame me for it!”
