My Beloved-Chapter 444 - INTERROGATION

"Where is Luo'er?" Ma Rui was anxious.

"She is sleeping. Don't worry, nothing happened to her," Mo Yuan assured his mother.

Ma Rui was seething in anger. "Who could dare to do something like this? I will chew them off if I find them. I will stay with Luo'er and guard her. Xiao Yuan, find out who did this. Afterward, I'll deal with them personally."

"All right, mom." Mo Yuan knew the person who was scarier than a ghost was his angry mother. That's the very reason why he and his father did their best not to become her enemy.

After Ma Rui left, Mo Yuan began his investigation. Aside from Adam, Rose and Mary, Martha was suspicious. However, her fingerprints didn't match with the ones they discovered.

In the end, they brought others who were staying in the house as guests.

Zheng Mian, Beth, and Sean were present. They stayed up late at night and didn't go back to their houses. It was the first time they were able to stay here. They didn't miss the chance to spend the night here.

Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin were also present. However, Han Sheng Ming drowned in sorrow last night and slept at dawn. He didn't wake up yet. Tang Yujin woke up late since he had to accompany his best friend. He went out to have a morning walk. He didn't come back yet.

Zheng Mian, Beth, and Sean gave their fingerprints to the fingerprint expert without a word. Since they weren't the culprits, they weren't bothered.

Nevertheless, someone was shouting in the morning. "Wait, what are you doing? Do you think I'm the culprit? I'm a guest here. How dare you be so rude to me?"

Everyone glanced at the peace destroyer but no one knew the girl. She was around nineteen. She had a tall and slender body. Her gunmetal-colored eyes were glaring at Mo Yuan's men. Her lips were pale. She looked like she woke up just now because she was still wearing pajamas.

"Who is she?" Benjamin asked Rose. He came by last night and stayed with Rose.

Rose blankly stared at the stranger before asking back, "Doesn't she look familiar?"

"Familiar?" Benjamin frowned. "She looked like young Martha to me. Wait…"

That girl broke from the guards' grasp before he could finish his words and strode toward Mo Yuan who was sitting on the couch. She spoke while sobbing, "Yuan, see how they are treating me? Why aren't you doing something? How could they do this to a pretty girl like me?"

Beth who was drinking water nearly choked. Sean patted her back to came her down.

Mo Yuan coldly glanced at her and asked, "Who are you?"

His chilling voice made the girl freeze on the spot.

Martha stepped forward in a hurried motion. Her stern voice sounded offended as she spoke to Mo Yuan, "Young Master, please stop this. My niece came to the city alone and she had no place to stay. That's why I asked Madam's permission and let her stay with me. Please don't bother her."

Mo Yuan looked at her in the eyes and stated slowly, "As long as she isn't the culprit, she should have no problem with the test."

Martha retorted, "But she is scared of these things."

"That's none of your business." Mo Yuan signaled his men to continue testing.

Mo Yuan's bodyguards grabbed that girl's hands and dragged her. Martha's teenage niece came back to her senses and began to throw a tantrum once again. 

"What's her problem?" Beth frowned at her.

"Beats me," Sean shrugged.

Zheng Mian questioned, "If she isn't the culprit, why doesn't she want to give her fingerprints?"

"I'm scared! What if they use my fingerprints to do some crime? I'll be in jail!" The girl seemed freaked out by the idea of giving her fingerprints.

Beth commented, "She has watched too many mystery movies."

After her fingerprints were taken, the fingerprint expert announced, "It has matched."

Everyone turned to look at the girl once more. The girl's face paled instantly. "There must be a mistake!" she retaliated.

Even Martha's expression didn't look good. Her lips were tightly sealed. She didn't utter a single word.

"You are suspicious," Zheng Mian remarked. She was mad. "At first, you didn't want to give your fingerprints and now it says positive. You clearly knew that you were the culprit and that's why you weren't agreeing to give your fingerprint. And, now you dare to deny it wasn't you."

"I'm saying I didn't do it. Why should I add bleach in the shampoo?" The girl looked at her aunt and asked for help, "Aunt Martha, please tell them I didn't do it."

Mo Yuan finally opened his mouth, "I did not mention anything regarding bleach. How do you know that? Unless…"

Unless she was the real culprit.

Mo Yuan only told Ma Rui about the bleach. Others understood something bad happened but didn't know what exactly caused him to do this.

Now that they found out, they seemed surprised.

"Is Luo doing okay?" Beth asked in concern.

Sean replied in Mo Yuan's stead, "She must be or else we would've seen an ambulance."

"That's a relief," Beth sighed.

Mo Yuan coldly instructed his assistant, "Get my mother. She needs to know that because of her decision my future wife was in grave danger."

"Yes," the assistant hurriedly left.

Zheng Mian raised an eyebrow. " 'Future wife'? This guy…"

Beth giggled. She knew Mo Yuan was possessive but declaring it like that, he was just too shameless. She commented, "It's a good thing Ming isn't here."

Zheng Mian couldn't agree more. "You said it. If he had heard Yuan, he would've exploded."

Ma Rui came back and looked at Martha's niece. Her expression was solemn. Mo Yuan's assistant must have told her.

Ma Rui then turned to Martha and said, "Martha, I've trusted you. I know you are a good housekeeper. That's why you are still working here despite you not liking my Luo'er. But this time, your hatred has gone too far. Did you use your niece to harm my Luo'er?"

"Mom, Ah Luo isn't yours but mine," Mo Yuan corrected his mother.
