My Beloved-Chapter 446 - UNFOLDING THE TRUTH

After Sean analyzed the situation, Mo Yuan opened his mouth, "I locked the door."

Since he locked the door from the inside, how could the culprit enter?

Sean asked him, "Did you leave your room after that?"

Beth answered for Mo Yuan, "I saw him taking breakfast from the kitchen." She was in the dining room at that time and that's how she saw him taking food from Rose.

"That means, when he was in the kitchen, someone broke in and added bleach to the shampoo." Zheng Mian rubbed her cheek thoughtfully. "Since it happened just a few minutes ago, the culprit is still in the house. It has to be one of us."

Rachel became nervous when everything was unfolding. She stepped forward and stated, "It could be any of you! One of you used my fingerprints and framed me! I will not let you go!"

Zheng Mian frowned. She put her arms on her waist and asked in a bossy manner, "What nonsense are you spouting? Why would we harm Luo? What motive could we have to hurt her? Even if someone had any intention of harming her, why would they use your fingerprints? And how were they supposed to do that? Do we have some espionage agents here?"

All her questions made Rachel choke with her own accusation.

Beth sang along with Zheng Mian. "Exactly! We are normal human beings. We can't possibly pull that off. Moreover, we woke up so late. I was having breakfast with Sean at that time. Mian was watching television. There was no way we could have done it. And, there is no reason for us to do it."

"Why wouldn't you have a motive?" Rachel spoke. "You must be jealous of her who is going to marry into a rich family."

"Huh?" This time, Beth was totally pissed. "Look here. Who do you think we are? Do you think Yuan is the only one who got rich parents? My gramps got land and my parents got a huge company. Sean and I work together to help them. As for Mian, her father has one of the biggest companies in France. Why would we be jealous of something like that?"

Rachel stepped back, shocked. "Ri-rich? Then why are you dressed like this?" She was nervous.

She wore one of her best pajamas to impress Mo Yuan. Moreover, she had bought it by selling some of her clothes.

When she saw Beth and Zheng Mian wearing mediocre clothes, she thought they were poor and conjured a superior feeling inside her heart. She didn't visualize that something like that could happen. She wasn't prepared at all.

She was looking down at them thinking she had more money. Who would have thought that rich people would wear simple clothes?

Beth snorted. "Do you think people like us waste money on expensive clothes and gadgets? We invest our money to make more money. Even though we are rich, we don't flaunt our money. We also like to wear comfortable clothes. We buy gadgets to achieve higher work efficiency, not to show off. If we ever want to spend money that badly, we spend some for our hobbies."

Rachel gritted her teeth. For some reason, she felt like a clown. She even sold her clothes to buy an expensive nightdress. And here were some rich kids, wearing comfortable yet cheap clothes.

"Are you admitting that it was you who did it?" Ma Rui inquired, glaring at her furiously.

Rachel clenched her fists and shook her head. "No! I didn't do it! I won't admit anything unless I did it."

"You, shameless girl…" Zheng Mian got pissed. She folded her sleeves and stomped closer to Rachel.

However, Mo Yuan's cold words stopped her in her tracks. "Since the culprit won't admit defeat, we will take action." He signaled to his men.

Two burly men were standing in front of the doorway. They were waiting for Mo Yuan's order. After getting the signal, they grabbed Rachel's arms and dragged her away.

"Wh-what's going on? Didn't I say I didn't do it?" Rachel became frantic.

"What on earth do you think you are doing, Young Master?!" Martha's voice turned sharper. 

"As long as she speaks the truth, I will let her go," Mo Yuan's voice was resolute.

"But, she is telling the truth." Even then, Martha chose to take her niece's side. She was determined. 'No way I can let this happen. I have to make Rachel the daughter-in-law of this family.'

"We will see." Zheng Mian couldn't hide her excitement. She was enjoying the show.

Mo Yuan added, "We have truth serum and a lie detector machine."

His words were simple. After they find out she was innocent, they would let her go. If she wasn't, they would send her to jail, or even worse.

Ma Rui praised her son's capability.  She added, "But if she admits before we have to go through all of that, we will let her go."

"…Right…" Mo Yuan frowned. He had no interest in letting that girl go who tried to hurt his beloved.

Rachel saw that the situation wasn't in her favor. She would be exposed either way. She hurriedly confessed, "I did it. It was me. Please let me go."

Martha closed her eyes. 'This idiot!' she couldn't help but curse her niece's stupidity.

Where would Mo Yuan get a truth serum and a lie detector from?

Is this some kind of espionage movie?

He was just bluffing!

Ma Rui let out a deep breath. She had enough of this. She wanted to mince Rachel right then and there. However, she promised to let her go. She was a person who kept her words.

She opened her mouth and stated, "Martha, I don't want to keep someone who wants to harm my children here. This is a home where my children are supposed to feel safe. If I can't keep them safe in my own house, what kind of mother does that make me?"

She added, "You have been loyal to us and I appreciated it knowing you disliked my Luo'er. I let your niece stay here because I trusted you. But I can't let this go on anymore. That's why pack your bags and leave this place.. I don't need someone who will keep threatening my children's life."
