Chapter 16
But Phoebe continued to confront Marisa for the sake of her daughter.
“Even if my daughter was a barren woman, so what? Where does the law come from that doesn’t allow my daughter to marry?“.
Marisa took the thick stack of documents from the bodyguard with a sharp tone.
“I don’t care what others think, but the Callahan family’s heir could never be a bastard!”
After all, Marisa and Eric almost lost their lives because of the fact that his father, Landyn Callahan, had an illegitimate child.
“Moreover, your daughter was a murderer!”
“Crash!”
Marisa suddenly threw the documents in her hand up, and the papers fluttered in the air like snowflakes, slowly falling on everyone’s faces.
Slowly revealed everyone’s expressions.
Eric and Phoebe were full of astonishment and confusion, while Estelle’s face was all pale with buried secrets that had already been uncovered.
“Your daughter is really amazing. Since she has been with my son, she has not only taken ten lives, but also seven or eight. I wonder if your daughter will have nightmares after killing so many people.”
Faster than Marisa’s words fell, Phoebe’s scream pierced the air as she lunged towards Marisa, desperately trying to scratch her carefully
maintained cold face.
“What nonsense are you talking about! How could my daughter possibly have killed someone!”
Although Phoebe knew that her daughter had been somewhat extreme in her personality due to being labeled as a barren woman in the past, she was certain that her daughter would never commit murder!
Phoebe didn’t care about Marisa’s identity either. She used all the curse words she had to angrily scold the person in front of her who spread rumors about her daughter!
Estelle on the side was completely panicked.
When she killed those people, she did it very cleanly, so there was no way anyone would know she had killed anyone.
She didn’t know where Marisa had learned this information, but all she
could do at the moment was to calm Eric down.
As long as Eric still believed that she loved him, it was enough.
Thinking of this, Estelle quickly stepped forward and grabbed Eric’s clothes, trying hard to suppress her panic as she said.
“Eric, believe me, I have never killed anyone!”
“My personality was somewhat extreme, but I have only hurt Calista out of jealousy, I would never kill someone. If I had really killed someone, I would be in jail right now, not here.”
In the end, Estelle was on the verge of tears, as if she had really been. slandered by Marisa.
But Eric just stared motionless at the photo of one of the victims in the
file.
The girl in the photo looked very familiar to him. She was the girl who used to bring him water on the basketball court during college.
Back then, the girl would come to the basketball court every weekend on time to bring him water.
At that time, his friends teased him and asked if he had never been moved by such a beautiful girl chasing after him.
At that time, Eric and Estelle had already liked each other, but they hadn’t broken the ice between them yet.
But he still considered himself as someone with a girlfriend, so after another basketball game, he took the initiative to find that girl and clearly rejected her.
From then on, Eric never saw her again. He thought she had given up.
Now he knows that the girl died, and her body was also disposed of by the woman beside him.
The expression on the girl’s face in the photo was so terrified, Estelle’s smile was just as crazy and malicious!
And this girl was just a beginning.
Since then, any girl who appeared around Eric was brutally killed by Estelle in various ways within a month.
The liquid seemed to flow back to the heart from the limbs and bones in an instant, a bone–chilling coldness surged from the soles of the feet, climbed along the spine, froze Eric’s fingertips, and shattered something that Eric had always believed in.
“Eric?”
“Eric!”
With a voice filled with tears and pleading, Eric was suddenly pulled back to reality.
He subconsciously looked back and saw Estelle looking at him with tears. in her eyes, her once proud and indifferent eyes now filled with panic and
fear.
“Eric, believe me, I really have never killed anyone!”
Eric had been with her for so long, he knew her better than anyone. Although she had been harsh to Calista, there was a reason for it. Calista had seduced him first and even ended up pregnant with his child.
She was angry, so she vented her anger on Calista.
But no matter what, she had never shown any intention of killing Calista in front of Eric.
