Chapter 684: 224: As the water subsides, the rocks emerge, the ice-cold handcuffs_4

Bastard.

A light and fluttering adjective, yet it made Sylvia Thompson’s face turn as pale as a sheet.

She hated it most when people called her that.

Just because she was the Thompson Clan’s adopted daughter, that gave others the right to insult her like this!

Strangers were one thing.

But now, even Edward Thompson had said it!

Everyone makes mistakes.

She had only made one mistake.

Why couldn’t Edward Thompson forgive her?

Edward had even forgiven Viola Thompson!

So what, just because Viola was his real sister?

Why was life so unfair to her?

Sylvia’s tears started streaming down her face like strings of broken beads.

Having said these words, Edward turned around and walked away.

The police behind him followed.

He left the detention center after a long while.

Her eyes, filled with malice, flared under the blinding sunlight as she shielded her eyes with her hand.

This time.

Edward Thompson must die!

Only when Edward is gone can this matter finally come to an end.

And her life can start anew.

Her purpose for visiting Edward today was to divert attention and make the police lose their focus on her. It would lend an impression of innocent demeanor. If she was the real murderer, framing Edward, she wouldn’t have the audacity to visit him!

The second motive was to deteriorate the bond between Viola and Edward, mislead him into giving a changed testimony, and distract the police’s focus from her.

She hadn’t expected that Edward had long stopped considering her as his sister.

It’s always her thinking too much!

If Edward truly regarded her as a sister, he wouldn’t have been so quick to hate her.

With that thought.

Sylvia’s eyes grew cold and malicious.

Isn’t Viola attempting to uncover the truth?

She wanted to see what remarkable skills Viola possessed!

…

In the police station.

Everyone was discussing the James case.

“Have you heard? Sophie Cooper went to visit Edward in prison!”

“Really?”

“In my opinion, since Sylvia can provide an alibi, the cameras did not capture her anywhere, she might not be the culprit. But I bet she never thought her beloved brother, would murder her biological father!”

At the same time.

A post about [Edward Thompson at the Detention Center] was currently trending on Facebook.

Even though Edward’s popularity had faded, he was once a renowned actor.

No one would’ve thought an acclaimed actor would fall to such a state.

Horrible!

Truly horrible!

[Damn! Has someone by the same name committed a crime?]

[Don’t tell me this is Edward Thompson!]

[@EdwardThompsonV, can you please clarify the situation?]

[I knew that Edward severing ties with the Thompson Clan and being with Sophie Cooper would lead to no good. I can’t believe that he even committed murder for Sophie!]

[I have a conspiracy theory, is it possible that Sophie was the murderer and then framed Edward? After all, like mother, like daughter, Nidya was notorious for her unspeakable acts, it wouldn’t be surprising if Sophie did something like this!]

[Why all these conspiracy theories? Didn’t you see the announcement from the police? Sophie has an alibi, and she wasn’t caught by any surveillance cameras. Can she be invisible to murder someone?]

[I think Edward once said it rightly, during the baby switch incident, Sylvia didn’t have any choices. She was just an infant then. Hence, everything is Nidya’s fault. How is Sylvia to blame? We cannot put all the blame on Sylvia!]

[I agree with the previous comment. Cyberbullying is scary, everyone stop revealing personal information online! The Thompson family is also at fault. They’re not as kind-hearted as we thought. If they truly were, why did they force Sylvia away? They had an adopted daughter for so many years, didn’t they have any affection? Also, I don’t think Edward is a good person. If he were truly a good individual, he wouldn’t have murdered someone. To put it bluntly, the Thompson family has failed in educating him!]

[The previous analysis makes so much sense! It has shocked me, and I still can’t digest it. How did Edward become a murderer?! He was the brightest star in the sky! He has totally wasted his potential.]

[I feel sorry for Sylvia. Everyone has been attacking her since the case happened. Have you ever thought, she’s just a young girl? Cyberbullying could kill! Everyone, stop sharing personal information online!]
