Chapter 138 Nothing but Conviction
Saying this, the mother, emotionally charged, was about to step forward to hit Ashley.
With a terrified look on her face, Ashley hid behind Walter, her eyes blurred with tears. “Mom, no, I
didn’t, I don’t even know who Owen is. He’s framing me. When Tabatha had her accident five years
ago, I was more worried than anyone. How could I possibly harm Tabatha?”
After all, it was a police station. I stopped my mother and turned to Lucas, “Can I take a look at Owen’s
testimony?”
Lucas nodded, led us all to the surveillance room, and replayed the video of Owen’s interrogation.
In Owen’s testimony, he detailed how he met Ashley five years ago, how Ashley conspired with him to
deceive me, everything was clearly explained.
After hearing Owen’s words, Mother was so angry that she trembled all over, wishing she could tear
Ashley apart with her own hands.
Ashley was as pale as a ghost, her face streaked with tears as she kept shaking her head, insisting
that it was Owen who had framed her.
I glanced at Walter, his expression seemed consistently lukewarm, he didn’t say anything, just stood
indifferently and quietly beside Ashley.
I couldn’t see through what he was thinking, and of course, I had no mood to explore.
Just looked at Lucas and asked, “Lucas, can Owen’s testimonies be used to convict?”

I didn’t directly ask whether Owen’s testimonies could be used to convict Owen himself or Ashley as an
accomplice, but Lucas’s answer was very clear.
He glanced at Ashley, her eyes red and swollen with injustice, then at Walter. Perhaps he had noticed
something unusual about their relationship. After a slight pause, he turned to me and said, “Owen
admitted his own guilt, plus his drug trafficking and kidnapping, just these two charges are enough to
put him in jail for half his life.”
After speaking, he slightly pursed his lips and continued, “As for the accomplice he identified, due to
the lack of video and other strong witness evidence, the police couldn’t rule out the possibility that he
might be making arbitrary accusations. Therefore, they couldn’t casually convict, but…”
At this point, he turned his gaze to Ashley and began to speak, “Miss Ashley, this matter has
resurfaced after five years. The police need to clear the name of the parties involved, so we would
appreciate your full cooperation with our investigation and questioning.”

With tears in her eyes, Ashley nodded, looking pitiful and speaking in a hoarse voice, “Yes, I will
cooperate with the police investigation. I hope the police can clear my name for things I didn’t do. I
don’t want to be falsely accused and have it come between me and my sisterly bond with Tabatha.”
Lucas pursed his lips, not saying much more. After exchanging a few words with me, he turned to
Walter and said, “Mr. Hinton, may I have a word with you?”
Walter nodded, said little, and then left with Lucas.
Seeing Walter being taken away by Lucas, a hint of panic appeared on Ashley’s face. Her beautiful
eyes watched the direction Walter wast leaving from afar, her hands tightly interlaced together.

Judging by the looks of it, Lucas might have said something to Walter.
Seeing her like this, I didn’t say anything, I just left the interrogation
room.
After reading Owen’s testimony, my mother immediately concluded that the incident five years ago was
a setup by Ashley against me. She managed to suppress her emotions until we reached the police
station lobby, where she could no longer hold back. In a moment of inattention, she suddenly grabbed
Ashley’s hair.
The voice cried out bitterly, “Ashley, I should never have adopted you, you ungrateful wretch. These
twenty years, even a dog would have been more loyal than you. What about you? You framed my
daughter, seduced my son-in-law, you shameless thing. I should have let you freeze, starve, or die of
illness back then, rather than let you live to harm others.”
Mother was never a hot-tempered person, but at that moment, she was truly infuriated. She couldn’t
control her emotions, so at that time, she wished she could kill Ashley directly!
Ashley was suddenly grabbed by her hair, unable to react in time, especially considering she was
pregnant. For a moment, she could only struggle and scream. In order to maintain her gentle image,
she could only cry and beg for mercy.
Mother didn’t care about all these, when she got really angry, she would severely punish without
mercy.
The noise in the hall was so loud that it even attracted the busy police. Even the people who came here
for business looked over. For a moment, the hall was surrounded by people.
Mother was furious. Even though she was pulled away by the police, she was still cursing Ashley and
recounting how Ashley had framed

At first, I didn’t notice my mother’s intentions. I just saw her so angry and was focused on calming her
down. It wasn’t until I noticed that she seemed to be deliberately bringing up the incident where Ashley All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
and Owen had set me up five years ago.
I just realized that people around me were holding up their phones to take pictures.
Was my mother planning to use the internet to create some public opinion for me?
For a moment, I couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. Most of the things on the internet are hearsay.
Besides, outsiders don’t understand the specific situation. Even if she said something, it seemed to be
of no
use.
When Walter and Lucas came out, Ashley was surrounded by the police, sitting on the ground, wiping
her tears and pretending to be pitiful.
Seeing this, Walter’s brow furrowed slightly. He walked over to her, helped her up, and asked, “What
happened?”
