Second Chances

Chapter 136 

Emma scanned past the staff one by one. 

The special powder would be exposed to ultraviolet light pens. 

Emma rubbed the powder on the person’s neck and wrist last night. 

As long as she found anyone with powder on them, that person would undoubtedly be the perpetrator. 

Emma scanned through them one by one and realized that none of them had the powder on them. 

She frowned. “Is everyone here?” 

Fred said, “Yes.” 

Emma glanced at Fred. 

There was still one person she hadn’t checked, which was Fred. 

Fred understood what she meant. He spread his hands and said to Emma, “It’s okay. Miss Wilson, please.” 

Emma turned on the ultraviolet pen and shone it on Fred’s clothes. 

However, at this moment, a person walked out of the courtyard. “There’s no need for that! It was me last night!” 

When everyone heard this voice, they looked over in disbelief. 

Someone said, “Miss Christine?” 

A person asked, “How could it be Miss Christine!” 

Someone else said, “Bastard! The abbot is your grandfather. How dare you poison him!” 

As soon as Christine confessed, all the staff in the courtyard became agitated. 

Emma took out a UV pen and shone it on Christine’s wrist. 

Indeed, there was powder on her wrist that Emma had left behind yesterday. 

When everyone saw that there was really powder on Christine’s body, they cursed even more fiercely. 

A person said, “Bastard!” 

Another person said, “Call the police and take her away!”

Christine was still wearing the motorcycle suit from yesterday. Her eyebrows were raised. “Call the police and arrest me! Last night, I kidnapped you, but I didn’t poison my Grandpal” 

After Christine finished speaking, she received an even more furious complaint from the people in the courtyard. 

A person said, “You dare to do it but don’t dare to admit it! How can Reverend Hart have a descendant of scum like you?” 

“Otis abandoned his family. He deserves to be poisoned to death!” Christine’s attitude was very unyielding. 

Emma checked the position of the powder on her body, as well as her size and movements. It was indeed very compatible with the person who kidnapped her last night. 

However, for some reason, her intuition told her that Christine was not the real perpetrator. 

At this moment, all the members of the St. Grace Church were infuriated. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Emma said nothing. 

After the police took Christine away, she and Liam walked to an old well behind the church. 

Emma said, “I suspect that the perpetrator from last night was someone else.” 

Liam narrowed his eyes. “You’re saying that the person who held you hostage wasn’t Christine?” 

Emma shook her head. “That person was Christine. But she wasn’t the one who broke into the room to kill me!” 

She carefully recalled the details of last night and took a step forward. She placed her hand on the ancient well and said solemnly. “Last night, that person escaped through the back window. It would be easier for you to catch them if they were lying in wait at the door. Also, although the knives of the two people last night were identical, their habits of holding the knife were different. When the murderer held the knife, his thumb and index finger were raised. He was very professional. He really knows How to kill someone. And the person who held me hostage at the door had her palm up when she held the knife. She didn’t know how to kill at all!” 

Liam instantly understood what Emma meant. “Are you saying that there were two people last night?” 

“That’s right!” Emma turned around and looked up at him firmly. “Although Christine’s words are unpleasant, she actually hates her grandfather for abandoning her. She was dressed in black because she wanted to visit him secretly! And she held me hostage because she was stubborn and didn’t want us to find out that she had been secretly caring about her Grandpa! But the person who came in through the window was the actual murderer.” 

After clearing her thoughts, Emma felt a chill run down her spine. 

This murderer must have figured out Christine’s habits long ago and knew that she would secretly visit her grandfather every night..

Therefore, that person deliberately dressed up as Christine, wearing the same black clothes and using the same 

knife as her. 

He wanted to kill Emma and frame Christine. 

“Now that Christine has been taken away by the police, do you need me to make arrangements?” Liam asked. 

Emma. 

Emma shook her head. “Not for now. This girl is used to being arrogant. It’s good for her to suffer a little.” 

Emma actually felt that something was up just now, but she still let Christine be taken away by the police with this 

intention. 

Liam looked at her seriously analyzing the situation. 

He only felt that Emma’s serious expression was stunning. Moreover, she emitted the light of wisdom. 

Liam could not help but ask, “How did you know that Christine was not the murderer?” 

Emma said thoughtfully, “I don’t know either. When I heard her shouting that it wasn’t her before she was taken. away by the police and saw the look on her face like she was betrayed by the whole world, I felt that it was not 

her.” 

Emma felt as if she was looking at her past self. 

In the past, she was also framed by Aria Wilson like this and was distrusted by everyone. Therefore, she had to help Christine and find the real mastermind. 

When Emma and Liam walked out of the backyard, they bumped into two staff members who came to fetch water. 

One of them said, “Hurry up. Fred is seriously injured. We can’t afford to delay.” They walked in a hurry with a bag of medicine in their hands. 

Emma raised her eyebrows and went forward. “What’s wrong? Who’s injured?” 

When the two of them saw Emma, they were very respectful. 

One of them said, “Miss Wilson, Fred fell from the stairs just now and injured his neck!” 

“He injured his neck?” Emma asked again, “Is it serious?” 

The first staff member replied, “It’s quite serious. He lost a lot of blood, but he didn’t hurt his bones.” 

The other staff member said, “That’s right. Miss Wilson, Mr. Hall, you guys should take care of Reverend Hart. Just leave Fred to us.”

Emma said, “Fine.” 

It was true that Otis could not do without people. Emma did not think too much about it and returned to the 

abbot’s room with Liam, 

This was already their second day at the Spirit Mountain. 

Previously, she had cured Leroy in just half an hour. 

Leroy was in critical condition at that time. 

This time, Otis was only unconscious. 

A whole day had passed, but he still had not woken up. 

At night, some people started to make negative comments about Emma. 

First, Simon made a call to ask about the situation. 

Then, Emma turned on her phone and saw that there were some criticisms about her online. 

A hashtag rushed to the trending searches. “Reverend Otis Hart of St. Grace Church falls seriously ill.” 

The public opinion on Twitter fermented crazily. 

A person commented: [No way! It’s already 2021, and there are still people who believe in traditional medicine?] 

Another person wrote: [The abbot is already so sick. Why is he not sent to the hospital yet?]

Someone else commented: [Can physical therapy cure serious illnesses like this? I think the doctor is a liar!] 

Another person wrote: [I don’t believe a teenager would hurt her own grandfather. There must be a conspiracy 

behind this.] 

A netizen wrote: [Everyone, have you seen the video of Christine being taken away? Anyone can tell that Christine was framed, right? What bullshit powder? I think the murderer is Emma. She framed the little girl. The police should arrest her instead!]
