Chapter 689
After Patricia finished speaking, she removed her hand from the back of Baber’s head, revealing the blood on her palm “I saw it! You hit Baber with that tool in your hand Baber is just a child, how could you?”
Following Patricia’s accusation, everyone’s gaze shifted to the chisel in Ellinor’s hand, further making people believe that she was the culprit
Faced with everyone’s accusatory stares, Ellinor looked at the chisel in her own hand and understood.
This was a trap. A meticulously designed trap!
It started the moment Patricia invited her to chat in the living room.
As soon as she fell into the trap, Patricia sent a maid, intentionally using a bloody coffee cup to lure her into this carefully crafted “crime scene“.
Patricia’s acting skills were top–notch!
Patricia’s worried demeanor about the child was so convincing.
She thought that Patricia cared about the child’s safety in addition to using him.
However, Patricia actually killed an innocent child just to frame her. How ruthless could she be?!
At this moment, Ellinor admitted she was wrong she had mistaken Patricia for a human being.
Through her tears, Patricia said, “Ellinor, I know you and Theo have made up. You’re worried Baber would ruin your relationship with Theo, but you can’t just kill a child!
Baber is a child I had Theo adopt from overseas. I explained all this to you in the living room. I promised you that Baber and I would never bother you again. Why can’t you leave Baber alone?
He’s less than two years old“”
Patricia’s lying skills were just too good. Ellinor looked at her sarcastically and retorted, “Do you remember he’s just a poor child under two? Did you show him any mercy, when you were using him?”
Faced with Ellinor’s sharp question, Patricia looked uneasy. She turned her face away and tearfully said to Balfour and Theo, “I don’t think Ellinor will confess! Let me tell you what happened!
It’s like this….
I finally found Baber in the kitchen. He was hiding there, playing hide and seek.
I was so worried that I scolded him, telling him not to do this again. Baber was obedient and promised me he wouldn’t.
But then, Ellinor suddenly appeared. I asked her why she was here, but she didn’t answer. Instead, she just rushed over with the chisel in her hand and hit Baber’s head. I watched Baber fall here, and I couldn’t do anything.
I never thought Ellinor would attack Baber. I didn’t have enough time to stop her, and she killed my Baber.
It was her! Ellinor killed Baber! My Baber died so tragically!”
As Patricia detailed her version of events, she cried incessantly, as if her tears could lend credibility to her words.
Was it true that the one who cried the most was the righteous one?
Ironically, that seemed to be the case. Everyone believed Patricia. Her grief over the loss of her child stirred their sympathy.
Balfour believed her. He tried to suppress his anger and sorrow and asked calmly, “Ellinor, do you admit to your crime?”
