Chapter 2050 Disappointment
At least, the recording was sufficient to serve as an explanation.
That holds true for me, for Vincent, and even for Rachel, who is still bedridden.
Gareth understood how upset must be Elisa feeling, so he did not say much. Instead, he produced his laptop calmly, turned it on, plugged in the USB drive, and played the surveillance video. He did it all in one smooth flourish.
“Take a look at this.” Gareth handed the laptop to Elisa, then got up to pour a glass of water and placed it beside her bed.
Elisa opened her mouth, about to say something, but ultimately did not utter a word. Instead, she abandoned that notion and focused intently on the surveillance footage on the screen.
After completing his tasks on hand, Gareth sat down beside Elisa and watched it with her.
Elisa appeared a little uneasy. Her gaze kept drifting toward Gareth.
The atmosphere gave off the impression that the pair were watching a romantic movie together,
While Elisa was plunged into a whirlwind of her thoughts, the footage arrived at the part of her entering the water.
Before this, no one had entered the private pool.
The privacy of the pool was excellent, which was to be expected given its high cost. Therefore, the day before it was booked, somebody was sent to clean it thoroughly inside and out. Then, the water was changed first thing the following morning.
There was no dispute that Elisa was the first one to enter the pool after the water had been changed.
Elisa fell silent, and so did Gareth.
He gazed at Elisa, worried that she would not accept the outcome.
Elisa’s voice trembled. “Are we sure there are no signs of tampering with this clip?”
Gareth gazed at her sadly. In the end, he nodded.
He had asked Jacob before he came and had ascertained that there were indeed no signs of editing of the video.
In other words, the possibility of murder has been ruled out. Elisa drowned herself, and so did Rachel.
After all that trouble, this is the result I get. Elisa closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and lay back in bed, lost in thought.
“What should I do? How should I avenge you?” she murmured under her breath. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
She must be referring to Rachel…
Gareth could not bear seeing Elisa downcast. “It’s all right,” he comforted her. “At least ! believe you.”
Elisa gave a bitter smile. “It’s no use even if you believe me. When I get to the precinct and to court, I can’t possibly convince the police and the judge without evidence.” She gazed at Gareth. “I want to get to the bottom of this. There’s no way this was an accident.”
Upon recalling Kaylee’s actions when she came earlier that day, Elisa felt her conviction deepen. “Yes. This was definitely not an accident.”
If it were an accident, Kaylee wouldn’t be acting so out of character. This incident must have something to do with her and that sorcery. It has to be!
“We must find leverage on Kaylee. Even the craftiest fox will eventually show its tail. Besides, her tactics are far from brilliant.” Elisa was muttering to herself, scheming on how she was going to expose Kaylee’s true colors.
This matter pertains not only to me and Rachel, but it also involves Grandma, who is acting very strangely. It’s obvious. Kaylee must have something to do with it.
After pondering the matter further, she thought it might be related to Bella’s mishap.
