Chapter 2627 Almost the End
Another surveillance footage showed that the waiter almost dropped the tray because of the instability of the wine glasses, so the waiter moved the position of the wine glass. However, Jade was unaware of this.
The autopsy results came out overnight.
Jade was found to be poisoned by potassium cyanide.
The ingredients were the same as the small bottle that Jade was carrying.
Jade intentionally wanted to kill someone, but she accidentally killed herself.
She would never understand which part of her scheme went wrong and why she ended up dead.
The police checked the surveillance footage and found that the small bottle was initially dropped by Selena’s aunt.
They followed the lead and arrested her.
The aunt confessed everything without omission and told the police that she was threatened, so she had to go to the event.
However, the aunt did not want to harm anyone, so she took the opportunity of her fall to throw away the bottle of medicine.
Unexpectedly, Jade did not give up and did it by herself.
The police frowned slightly.
“Is there any proof?”
“Yes, I have proof.”
The aunt called Jennifer over. “Tell the truth to the police. Don’t be afraid!”
Jennifer nodded and took out her mobile phone.
She played the recorded conversation she had with Jade in the car.
“Jade threatened me with my parent’s lives. I spent a lot of money to buy that ticket to the event. We are Mrs. Ferguson’s relatives. Although we don’t have much contact with each other, we don’t want to kill her…”
Jennifer was crying hysterically. She looked so pitiful.
“Officer, I have said everything I could, and I have nothing to hide.”
The police heard other things from the recorded conversation.
“Have you ever hurt Mrs. Ferguson before?”
“Hmph! Didn’t you almost kill Selena yourself? How did you forget so quickly?”
Those were Jade’s words.
The audio had not been edited to avoid suspicion.
Jennifer took a deep breath, lowered her head, and admitted her mistake.
“Jade forced me to do that, but I have already admitted my mistake to Selena. She has also forgiven me.”
The police officer paused and nodded. “We will double-check this with Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson.”
All the evidence pointed at the deceased Jade.
Moreover, they also found an overseas transaction in Jade’s account.
It was probably the cost of buying this bottle of potassium cyanide from a chemical laboratory abroad.
From Jade’s chat records, they saw that Jade had asked what was the fatal dosage for human consumption.
This further proved the fact that Jade bought this medicine to kill.
That night, Eric took Selena home.
When they arrived home, neither of them got out of the car.
Eric looked at her quietly.
“Are you scared?”
Selena pursed her lips and nodded. “This is the first time I saw someone die in front of my eyes. Even though I’ve prepared myself mentally, I still feel so uncomfortable and nauseous.”
Eric stroked her hair and said softly, “It’s all over now, Selena. No one will bother us in the future.”
Selena nodded with sore eyes.
“It’s her own fault. I have nothing to fear. But it’s just so tragic and dangerous. Eric, don’t take any more risks in the future, okay?”
Eric lowered his eyes and nodded.
“Okay.”
He used this method to end all this.
If they had gone through the normal channels, all Jade did was instigate crimes. Jade would be released from prison after a few years, and she would still be ruthless.
This way, Eric was eliminating any future troubles.
He had no regrets.
It was Jade’s own doing.
From the very beginning, Jade was the one who instigated Noah to find trouble with Selena. She was also the one who made full preparations for Noah.
All of this was because Jade wanted to leave Noah.
Jade had a boy toy who she loved and naively wanted to use Noah’s money to live with that guy.
But how could Noah’s property fall into her hands if she did not get rid of Noah first?
Thus, this series of events began.
Now, Jade was dead and could not spend a single penny.
The police quickly closed the case.
When Noah found out, he just twitched his lips.
He had no other expression.
His wife was just a prop for him to seem normal to outsiders.
How could he have feelings for her?
From then on, the Nelson family behaved themselves. Jennifer left the country and never wanted to come back.
Eric told her the plan at the beginning.
He warned her that if a word of their plan was revealed, she would end up like Jade.
Jennifer saw how cruel this man was and no longer had any more wishful thinking.
Eric’s plan was meticulous and detailed. There was no mistake in any part.
Even the drunk person, who knocked down Jennifer’s mother, and the inexperienced young waiter were carefully planned by Eric.
This was the last time Eric would make an exception. Eric wanted to live a peaceful life like Clayton and wash away the darkness of the past. He wanted to be an upright person.
Eric had actually envied Clayton for a long time.
Finally, Eric found his lifelong partner.
……
Selena attended Noah’s trial.
The Supreme Court pronounced Noah’s death sentence.
It was a delayed justice.
Selena burned that diary in the Nelson villa.
She wanted to take this opportunity to comfort her biological mother, who had left a trace of kindness to her.
That same year, Eric took Selena to travel around the world.
Selena’s bar was also open.
Chaz took care of everything in the bar. Although Selena was not there when the bar opened, Nicole brought many friends over to support it.
The following year, Julie gave birth. Nicole was waiting outside, and Kai went in to accompany Julie.
As a result, when Julie was trying to push for a natural birth, Kai burst into tears.
“OMG! It hurts to death! My wife is going to die from the pain!”
The doctor looked at Kai helplessly and asked the nurse to persuade him to leave the ward.
“Your presence here will affect the patient. She had the strength to push earlier, but because of you, she became too angry to push.”
Kai stood beside the bed and held Julie’s hand as tears streamed down his face.
“No, I’m not leaving! I want to stay with my wife! I don’t want that little b*stard! I just want my wife… Sob sob sob…”
Julie took a deep breath, stared at Kai coldly, and shouted at him with all her might.
“Shut up!”
Kai sniffled. His handsome face was a little embarrassed.
Julie could not help but roll her eyes.
“Get out! You’re crying louder than me. Are you trying to scare my son?”
Kai paused. He curled his lips and looked at her longingly.
“Then I can stop crying…”
Julie turned her face away.
“Get lost now!”
Kai could not help but shed more tears. He wept bitterly and miserably.
Floyd, who was outside, was furious when he heard this and stood up to yell at Kai.
“You little b*stard! Get out now! Don’t stress Julie out and scare my grandson! You’re crying worse than a banshee! Are you the one in labor?!”
Floyd was scolding Kai as usual.
Kai stopped crying after a while.
Clayton and Nicole looked at each other helplessly.
Nicole lowered her head and touched her protruding belly. Her gaze was soft and bright.
Spring was coming, and the future was bright.
Nicole felt very fulfilled in life.
