Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 639

Mr. Yeager must have known her mother. They all said that Everleigh looked very similar to her.

Seeing his expression, she knew that her guess was correct.

"Mr. Yeager? Ah... I haven't heard anyone call me that for a long time. My name is Qusay. Since you were able to find me, shouldn't you know my name already?"

She looked at his self-deprecating expression, her anger increased.

"I killed your mother," he suddenly said, his eyes full of guilt.

When the three of them heard this, they were all very surprised. They thought that he would not admit it.

"Why?"

"I used to owe a lot of money because of gambling. I couldn't pay it back. I thought of many ways, but none worked," Qusay answered as his expression showed his distress. He held his head in regret.

If it wasn't for his own greed, he would not have killed someone. He would not even have ended up here because he had hit someone over his own mistake.

All of this was his retribution.

"Who paid you to make you do such a thing?" Everleigh stared at him while the faces of various people started flooding her mind.

He glanced at her and hesitated before saying, "Missha Jenkins."

Everleigh's eyes suddenly widened. Her mind went blank, as if every word she heard wasn't real.

Theodore was also stunned. He had his suspicions, but he still couldn't accept it after hearing that.

That was because he could see that Missha had a very different attitude towards Everleigh.

"Are you sure?" It was Elvir who asked this question. Obviously, shock was plastered all over his face.

He had seen Missha before. At that time, she was dressed in white; she looked young and bright too. How could she possibly do such a thing?

"I know all the members of the Jenkins family. How could I be mistaken? Missha gave me a sum of money and asked me to destroy the important documents on the plane. I knew that she would not let me go, so I ran away. With the money, it was enough for me to live on. However, I had never thought that accidents would happen and they led me here. Maybe this is my retribution." Qusay could not blame anyone else. It was his own greed that harmed himself.

When Everleigh heard him talking about the past casually as if it wasn't a big deal, she had the urge to laugh. He said it so easily but had he ever thought about how she felt?

She had left the Jenkins family for so many years, and never had the chance to see her own parents, yet now he had the audacity to say that everything happened just because of his greed?

"Qusay, what right do you have to say the word 'retribution'? Why didn't you say anything when you killed my parents?"

He looked at her in guilt and said, "I know you hate me. My mind was clouded back then, and I regretted it later."

"Regret? If you really regretted it, you should've told the Jenkins family instead of listening to Missha and continuing to do such a thing!" Everleigh said agitatedly. Theodore hurriedly tried to calm her, "Everleigh."

She was about to cry; she couldn't suppress her emotions. He was her enemy. There was no way she was going to talk calmly with him.

Upon hearing her statement Qusay went silent.

"I don't want your apology. I want you to pay for what you have done. You deserved it. You said it was Missha, right? Then I will go find her, and I want you to confront her." Everleigh didn't believe him completely.

If Missha was the murderer, then what was her motive? Didn't she say that the four uncles loved her very much?

If so, why would they do something like this?

"I'll do it," Qusay replied immediately.

Theodore frowned slightly as he looked at him and said, "Someone saw the crescent- shaped birthmark on the neck of the person who instructed you. Do you remember?"

Qusay paused and frowned slightly. He thought about it carefully and said, "No, I wouldn't have noticed it."

"You didn't notice it? Well, that means you didn't know, am I right?" Theodore continued to ask.

If that was the case, Pedro must be lying.

Qusay thought carefully and said firmly, "I didn't pay attention. I was in shock when Missha told me that. My mind was a mess, and all I cared about was that I could pay my loans after getting the money. I didn't pay attention to anything else."

Hearing his words, Everleigh felt even more upset.

Theodore and Elvir looked at each other and fell silent. Both of them were outsiders so they could think in a more comprehensive way.

If Qusay said that Missha was the real murderer, it was impossible for him to not notice the mark on her neck.

Could it be that Pedro had made a mistake?

However, it didn't seem like it at all. Pedro didn't seem like he was lying based on his previous statements.

It was truly hard to guess.

When the three of them walked out of the prison, they were all silent. Theodore glanced at Everleigh and said, "Don't be too anxious. Go back and ask Missha. Besides, we already found Qusay. There's no need to worry about him running away."

Everleigh had the same thought. She didn't want to accuse her aunt, so it was better to make things clear.

"That's right."

"We're going back now. Mr. Carter..."

"I'll stay to observe the situation here. Don't worry." Elvir volunteered to stay before Everleigh spoke. He was just worried that Qusay would have an accident again.

If anything happened, they would lose their only witness.

She was stunned. She wanted to ask if he wanted to go back; she had no intention of asking him to stay.

However, Theodore agreed. It was better to be careful. Too bad this was Hallowy City and not Ocpeace City. Otherwise, he would have been able to arrange someone to protect him.

Everleigh and Theodore went back to Ocpeace City. She asked, "Do you think it's Aunt Missha?"

"It's hard to say. There are some things your aunt did that raised suspicion. I think it's possible," he answered coolly while looking in front. There wasn't much confidence left in her.

She was silent for a moment; her eyes were full of worry. She couldn't understand why her aunt would do such a thing.

"Don't think too much about it. I'm relieved that Elvir is there. Are you going back to the Trevino family home now?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"No, I'm going straight to the Jenkins family. I need to make things clear." She wanted an explanation.

He frowned, "If you ask her like that, she won't admit it." "I know, but I have to try, or else, how long do I have to wait to question her?" She asked. She was angry and what's more, she was sad.

She just wanted to know how long she had to wait for her to ask.

Hee fell silent. She was right. When would she be able to find out? If that was the case, then why would she have to investigate?
