104 The Truth
Keira didn’t expect Connor to be arrested so soon. She didn't realize that as soon
as she named Connor as the murderer, Holly had already asked her colleagues
at the police station to monitor him.”
So, when the message arrived, the arrest happened swiftly.
What was more, due to the presence of journalists nearby, the whole process
was filmed!
When the police, followed by the journalists, arrived at Connor’s dormitory, Poppy
was causing a fuss, hurling insults and hitting her nephew repeatedly, all while
sobbing and cursing loudly.
“You ungrateful boy, how could you write a letter of forgiveness to Keira? Do you
have any respect for yo deceased father?
“You bastard, you sold your conscience for a bit of money! I'll kill you today! You
better retract that letter immediately! I want that ungrateful creature to rot in jail!
She must pay for her actions!

“You damn fool”
Despite being a man, Connor was rather frail and, surrounded by a crowd of
students, he felt unable to fight back.
Poppy, however, was a middle-aged woman with a strong hand, so Connor was
left dodging her strikes and covering his head, unable to pull away from his
aunt's grip.
Fortunately, the arrival of the police provided him with a timely rescue.
Enthusiastically, he blurted out, “Officers, please, take this crazy woman away!
She's assaulting me!”
Unfortunately, the officers simply walked up to him. “Hello, you are suspected of
murder. Please coop te with our investigation.”
Hearing this, both the surrounding journalists and Poppy were dumbfounded.
Poppy regained her composure to speak, “Yes, take him away. Make him retract
that letter of forgiveness.
won't accept it! I want the murderer to die! Die!”
At her words, a nearby journalist inquired,

“Officer, we're confused. Why are you arresting Connor for murder? Shouldn't
you be arresting the suspect?”
“Could it be because he was paid for the letter of forgiveness?”
“When will you arrest Miss Olsen? The murder suspect is out on bail awaiting
trial. Why are you here arresting the victim? What's the reason?”
“Have you been pressured by the wealthy family? Is there some kind of collusion
going on?”
Poppy shouted, “You should be arresting Keira Olsen! She’s the murderer! Shoot
her!”
Ordinarily, the police wouldn't need to explain their actions to the public, but
considering the wides d repercussions of this case, the officers applied f
permission from their superiors before reluctant addressing the journalists.
At the Horton residence...
Isla was as pale as a sheet. Looking at the resolve on Keira’s face, she felt a
pang of fear.

Could it be as she had imagined?
Jake said “Uncle, are you watching? Even the journalists are starting to mention
our family! Soon, people will find out that the wealthy family they're referring to is
the Horton family! Are you really going to protect a murderer?”
Lewis spoke in a somber tone, “Did you ever consider why the police are
arresting Connor rather than
Keira?"
Jake scoffed. “Why would that be? Surely it's because they need more evidence
from Connor Hill, right? I mean, Connor Hill can’t be the murderer, can he?”
Isla turned even paler at his words, her gaze fixated nervously on the scene
unfolding on her phone scre
Just then, the police officer spoke. “We have evidenc that Connor Hill is the
murderer. He has made false accusations against Miss Olsen, so we're taking
him into custody for further interrogation.”
Once these words were spoken, the journalists at the scene were dumbfounded.
Everyone began shouting.

“How is that possible?”
“That's right! The victim is Connor Hill's father! How
could he be the murderer? Isn't this a forced confession? Just to clear that
woman's name?”
Poppy, who had just violently confronted Connor, couldn't bear to see her only
nephew be executed. She abruptly stood in front of him, glaring angrily at the
officers. “What nonsense are you speaking? How could Connor kill my brother?!
Is this a setup by Keira Olsen? Did she bribe you to frame him?”
The police officers remained stoic and serious. “We won't be lenient with any
criminals, nor would we wrongfully accuse anyone. We have substantial and
conclusive evidence.”
“What evidence? Unless you show us, you can’t tak
him away!”
Poppy continued to block Connor.
Connor swallowed hard. Being skilled at deception, he portrayed himself as a
victim and pleaded to the
camera. “I didn't kill him. Aunt, please help me. I've already issued a letter
forgiving Keira. What more do they want from me?”

The journalists were immediately misguided.
They gathered around Connor.
“Right now, we're questioning your judicial fairness. Without sufficient evidence,
you can’t take him away!” “From the sound of it, wasn't the letter of forgiveness
given involuntarily? There must be some conspiracy!” “Until this point, we've
been stationed outside the wealthy H family’s mansion, yet we've seen no sign of
any arrests. Instead, you're arresting the victim. Are some people really above
the law? Is your plan to arrest the victim's family, so there's no one left to
protest?”
These uncertain voices came out of the phone.
Jake continued his questioning. “Uncle, did you pressure the police station or are
you slandering Connor Hill? Do you hear that? The public isn't blind. You can’t
protect her with these underhanded tactics! With so many people watching, will
you really
disregard the Horton family’s reputation for this
woman?”

As he questioned, one of the officers took out a phone and played a recording.
The recording captured a conversation between Isla and Connor.
“Isla, don’t worry. I killed my dad! He won't bother you anymore!”
“How could you kill someone? You'll go to jail for that!”
“No, I've framed Keira for it. Isla, I've taken care of both annoying people for you.
1 did it all for you. Remember that, I love you...”
