Chapter 665: 219: Facing reality, Edward Thompson breaks down! _6
 

No.

Impossible!

Because she had personally sabotaged the surveillance at Edward Thompson’s home.

How could a broken surveillance camera capture any compelling evidence?

If it had really captured something, Ling would have probably shown her the surveillance footage by now and confronted her, instead of scaring her with these words.

“I haven’t been there and I haven’t been there, why do you insist that I have?” Saying this, Sylvia Thompson stood up from her chair, “I want to see my little brother! I want to talk to him face to face and clarify why he made up these things! He is the little brother I trust the most and one of the few relatives in this world I can trust! Why, why would he do this to me?”

In the end, Sylvia cried uncontrollably.

She knew very well that when it was time to cry, she should cry, and when it was time to be afraid, she should be afraid.

After all.

She was only eighteen years old this year.

Ling looked at Sylvia with a complex expression in her eyes.

Clearly.

She had underestimated Sylvia’s intelligence.

True.

If Sylvia were truly the murderer, she wouldn’t have been exposed so quickly.

She must have done it flawlessly!

“Officer, I beg you, let me see my little brother! Just one meeting!” Sylvia cried with tears streaming down her face, “I want to get things straight, why did he lie? Is he really the one who killed my biological father?”

Ling left the interrogation room with a headache and sighed.

Oliver Andrews came over immediately, “How’s it going?”

“Not good.” Ling continued, “Now all the evidence points to Edward Thompson as the murderer, unless we can find an eyewitness who can prove that he and Sylvia did indeed meet on the night of the murder!”

“Don’t worry, Old Fang and his team are already looking into it.” Oliver seemed to think of something and continued, “By the way, should we inform the Thompson family about this?”

Although the Thompsons had severed ties with Edward.

But from a blood relationship standpoint, Edward was still their son and they naturally had to inform them as soon as possible when such a major incident occurred.

Mary Perryne almost fainted when she heard the news, “What? Edward is suspected of murder?”

Steward Dalton nodded with a difficult expression on his face, “That’s what the police said.”

He was just relaying the message.

Actually, when Steward Dalton first heard the news, he was shocked and even doubted whether the police had made a mistake! He specifically checked Edward Thompson’s information with the police, and only after confirming that it was indeed Edward did Steward Dalton dare to report it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the guts.

Mary’s face turned pale, “No, it’s impossible!”

As a mother, Mary knew her son fairly well.

Even if Edward was reckless and irresponsible, he certainly didn’t have the guts to kill anyone.

At this moment, Sawyer Thompson came over from the other side, seeing the situation, he immediately asked, “What’s the matter, Steward Dalton?”

Mary grabbed Sawyer’s sleeve, barely holding back her emotions, “Ed… Edward killed someone!”

“What?!”

Upon hearing these words, Sawyer also felt like he had been hit by a thunderbolt.

How could this be?

Murder was not a small matter!

Edward shouldn’t have had the guts to do it.

Steward Dalton recounted the police officer’s words.

Sawyer was much calmer than Mary and continued, “Mary, don’t worry, I’ll call Chief Wu and ask.”

“Okay.” After hearing her husband’s words, Mary calmed down a lot.

Soon, Sawyer learned about the whole incident.

The deceased was James.

Sylvia’s biological father.

Now all the evidence is extremely unfavorable for Edward.

Mary’s eyes filled with tears, “It must be Sophie Cooper who set up Edward!”

“He deserves it!” Sawyer frowned, “Why doesn’t Sophie set traps for Brandon and Borden?”

Ultimately, Edward brought it upon himself!

The consequences he was now facing were nothing more than paying the price for his previous foolish actions.

Mrs. Thompson was also very angry.

But the problem now was not just Edward’s problem, but it involved the reputation of the entire Thompson family.

Once Edward was convicted of murder and imprisoned, the entire Thompson family’s reputation would be affected.

The Thompson family had always been strict, and they never thought Edward would disgrace their family like this!

Viola Thompson spoke up at this time, “Mom and dad, don’t worry, if this matter really involves Sophie, then she will definitely slip up.”

No one can be perfect in everything they do.

A fox can’t always hide its tail.

Unless Edward really did commit the crime.

Mrs. Thompson cursed angrily, “That shameless thing, if he’s really sentenced to death, it’ll be considered clearing the threshold for the Thompson family!”

Although she said this.

The next day, Mrs. Thompson still went to the detention center with a lawyer.

“Grandma.”

At this moment, Viola came out of the door.

“Viola.”

Suddenly seeing Viola, Mrs. Thompson felt somewhat guilty towards this child, after all, based on Edward’s previous actions, they shouldn’t have cared about his life and death, but this matter involved the Thompson family’s reputation.

She couldn’t help but care.

If this matter didn’t involve the Thompson family’s reputation, she wouldn’t have even wanted to ask.

Before Mrs. Thompson could speak again, Viola held her arm, “Grandma, I’ll go with you, I have some acquaintances in the police station.”

Mrs. Thompson opened her eyes wide, “Viola, you don’t blame Grandma?”

“If I were you, I would make the same choice.” After all, this matter concerned a whole family.

If Edward was really determined to be a murderer.

Then the entire Thompson family would be affected.

At this time, they had to consider the overall situation.

“Good girl! Good girl!” Mrs. Thompson was so moved that her eyes reddened.

Viola didn’t go in to see Edward but waited outside for Mrs. Thompson and the lawyer.

Just then.

Sylvia came out from inside.

She walked out with Maureen Fitzell.

Having stayed in the police station for a night, Sylvia was not in a good state. When she saw Viola, she squinted her eyes.

Why was Viola here?

She must be here to see Edward’s joke!

Based on Sylvia’s understanding of Viola, at this time, Viola would definitely make use of all her connections to make matters worse for Edward, ensuring that he gets what he deserves.

This was what Sylvia liked to see the most.

Fight, fight!

Only when the brother and sister fought each other to death could she benefit.

At this time, Sylvia would naturally add fuel to the fire between them. “Sister, you’re here to see your little brother too, right? I knew it, you wouldn’t blame him, after all, you’re real siblings. You have to believe me, little brother is innocent, he didn’t kill anyone, you have to trust him!”

Sylvia emphasized the word ‘real’ in ‘real siblings.’
