BXBX NOVEL Chapter 160 - 160: The Evidence
His relationship with his son was still in the deep freeze, and he did not want to hurt Dylan\'s feelings because of this.
That\'s why he gave him a month\'s buffer before sending Savannah to the police.
Although he liked Savannah, he was also a traditional elder who abided by the law. He would never allow anyone to harm his family.
Savannah should be punished for her mistake.
But did Dylan really find any evidence?
Speaking his mind, old Sterling did not want to admit Savannah was the murderer of Valerie\'s abortion.
"Dylan, what proof do you have?" Old Sterling asked, frowning.
"Cooper, call and ask Devin and Valerie to come over." Dylan sat down on the couch casually, his long leg crossing lazily.
"What evidence do you have? What do you ask them to come?" Susan felt something wrong. She stood up and exclaimed.
"If it proves that Savannah has been wronged, I want the person who wronged her to kneel down and apologize to her." Dylan glanced coldly at his sister.
Susan saw a hint of killing in Dylan\'s always sharp, cold eyes. A shiver ran down her back, and she sat down.
The atmosphere became quiet and tense.
Half an hour later, Devin and Valerie arrived at the Sterling\'s house.
They came into the house and found Dylan and Savannah on the couch. Then they looked at old Sterling\'s expression, realizing what Dylan brought Savannah here for.
Devin looked nonplussed.
Valerie, however, turned pale.
"It\'s all right," Susan walked over to the couple, "don\'t be nervous. The one who did the crime won\'t be spared!"
Valerie was all the more horrified.
Had Dylan found evidence? It couldn\'t be...
Dylan sneered and then gestured to Garwood, who had been waiting on the porch for a long time. Garwood pulled out a small recording pen and switched it on.
There was a conversation between two familiar voices.
"Abby, I\'m afraid we will sink or swim together. Didn\'t you do a good job helping me frame Savannah that night? Why are you hesitating now?"
"I didn\'t expect you really… really fell downstairs yourself to frame your cousin."
***
Everyone present knew the female voices in the recording. One woman was Valerie, and another one was Abby.
Old Sterling, Susan, and Devin gradually looked pale and shaken. They looked at Valerie in disbelief.
Valerie lost her countenance. Cold sweat poured down from her face.
She met Abby in a remote suburb that day. How could Dylan find them?
At this moment, old Sterling got up from the sofa and stared at Valerie. He was too excited that he almost stammered.
"In order to frame your cousin, you…you even intended to fall abortion, and…and you conspired with an outsider collude to frame your cousin! You mean crazy woman! You... You... "
Old Sterling stopped here by a violent cough!
Susan, Devin, and Cooper held old Sterling and tried to calm him down.
A chill ran up Valerie\'s spine. She rushed to old Sterling and cried. "Grandpa! No, I didn\'t do that…"
"No? What else do you want to say? This recording is a post-synthesis?" Dylan tossed the recorder over to her with a sneer, "if you don\'t believe me, get it tested yourself. After all, I have no predisposition to frame people."
A flush went over Susan\'s face. She never thought her daughter-in-law would fall and have an abortion herself to framed Savannah!
Was Valerie crazy? Or was there anything wrong with her mind?
In order to frame Savannah, Valerie killed her own child and disgraced all of them!
Valerie had fallen to the floor and knelt there, weeping.
Glaring down at Valerie, Susan was so angry that she kicked her off.
"I thought you were hurt, but it was you..." Then she turned to old Sterling to defend herself, "dad, I didn\'t know Valerie would do that!"
Valerie, on the floor, was too busy climbing to her husband to notice any pain. "Devin, I didn\'t do that... "
Devin stood riveted to the ground- it was some minutes before he could respond to the recording.
Was this stupid woman crazy?
She should know how much this baby meant to him! It was his way of claiming favor!
"You made it clear to Abby in the recording, didn\'t you? In order to frame Savannah, you killed our little son, you murderer!" Devin shouted, and his eyes glinted coldly.
"Grandpa, I didn\'t know this woman could be so stupid and so vicious! I want to divorce her!" Like Susan, Devin swore to his grandpa.
Valerie fell to the ground again when she heard that Devin was going to divorce her. Her strength to get up was gone this time. She felt regretful for falling into the hole which she had made herself.
Susan glared at Valerie in anger and gritted her teeth. This bitch killed the unborn baby and made her lose face in front of her father and Dylan. What\'s more, old Sterling might hate Devin and call back the shares…
"You bitch!" Susan worked herself into a temper and turned on Valerie like a tiger, "if it weren\'t for your pregnancy, Devin would not have married you! If I knew you are such a wicked woman, I would never let you marry into the Sterling!"
Facing Susan\'s anger, Valerie could not fight back. Her white face was scratched out with nail prints by Susan, and her hair was all over her face.
Savannah looked at her cousin in a pitiable, hateful way. Though she vented her anger, she felt sorry for Valerie.
She went to all lengths to marry into a rich family but was kicked out as soon as she made a mistake. Was this really what Valerie wanted?
Yes, she became old Sterling\'s granddaughter-in-law, and she won her in the marriage. But so what?
In the end, she was beaten black and blue by her mother-in-law, like a drowned mouse.
Dylan watched the scene coldly from beginning to end without saying a word until Devin kicked off Valerie and pretended to be an outsider.
"It\'s all because of you! You bitch! You killed my grandson and the fourth generation of the Sterling!" Susan shouted as she kicked Valerie.
Seeing that Susan pushed all the faults on Valerie as if her dear son was the victim, Dylan suddenly opened his mouth.
"Susan, you don\'t need to be angry, Valerie\'s unborn child died not because she intentionally fell downstairs."
