My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 206 The Scapegoat
Jane and Cherry were taken to the police station, and they immediately saw Burnell, who was also sitting there. There were bruises on the corners of his mouth. Jane looked at him and knew Alston's men had beaten him up.
Burnell was very excited when he saw Jane and Cherry. He stood up at once and pointed at them. "It's them! They ordered me to do it. They gave me 100 thousand and asked me to kidnap Mrs. Smith!" "He is talking nonsense. Officer, we have never seen him. He is slandering."
Jane and Cherry would never confess. They looked at Burnell as if he was a stranger and glanced at the group of suspects in disdain. "Officer, look at their clothes, and look at ours!"
As they spoke, they showed off their expensive clothes and bags with a sense of superiority on their faces. "Look! How can people like us know them? Even our servants are more respectable than them. How could we possibly meet each other? You should have some self-knowledge if you want to mess with wealthy people."
Their disdainful words made Burnell and his friends furious. They all clenched their fists, wanting to rush over and punch them.
"B*tch! You found me and told me that you would give me 200 thousand if I could finish my mission. I knew Mrs. Smith was a wealthy lady with high status, so I asked you for an extra 100 thousand because I didn't want to get into trouble. How dare you say that you don't know me!"
"Where's the evidence?" Jane stood with her arms crossed and looked at him impatiently. "How dare you slander me without evidence? Don't be kidding. Even if I wanted to use 300 thousand to hire someone to kidnap Cynthia, I would find someone professional. How could I find you?"
After she finished speaking, all the policemen present looked at her.
Jane realized something was wrong with what she said, so she quickly explained, "It was just an assumption. I never thought of kidnapping Cynthia. Even though she is my husband's illegitimate daughter, and our relationship is not very good, I don't want to kidnap her. She has already left our family and has no conflict of interest with us. How could I kidnap her?"
"Yes, they slandered us on purpose. I think there must be someone behind him who taught him to say that and tried to frame us." Cherry hid behind Jane and added.
Burnell and his friends didn't have a good temper and immediately became furious after hearing their nonsense. "B*tch!"
Their expressions were ferocious, causing Jane and Cherry to back away in fright. The police rushed forward and put them under control.
Burnell was dragged by an officer, but he was still glaring at Jane. Jane saw his expression and screamed.
"Officer, look! They are angry because they failed to slander us. We were wronged."
The police station was in chaos when both sides were arguing continuously.
This situation was indeed very complicated.
"Okay, okay! Stop arguing! This is a police station, not a market!" Finally, the officer couldn't bear it anymore and patted the table to stop the endless arguments.
Jane paused. Then, she gasped and stared at Burnell. "Well, you said that I gave you a card. Take it out. As long as you show us one piece of evidence, I'll confess immediately."
Burnell froze because he didn't have any evidence. He feared Alston would come after him, so he destroyed all of them and left nothing behind. However, his cautiousness caused him great trouble.
Burnell was furious. He glared at Jane and wished that he could cut her into pieces. "You b*tch! You know that I can't get it out. All the evidence was destroyed!"
Jane finally heard what she wanted to hear and said directly to the police, "Officer, what should we do now? He slandered us and didn't even have any evidence." "Mom, his name is Burnell. Hulda's brother is also named Burnell!" Cherry said loudly on purpose.
Jane rolled her eyes. "Officer, I still have something to say. This person should have a younger sister named Hulda. She is a mistress who robbed my daughter's husband. You'd better investigate them. They probably conspired with each other and tried to take revenge on my daughter."
"You're talking nonsense!" Burnell was so angry that his eyes were red. "I have never had a good relationship with Hulda. It's slander!"
The police listened to their quarrel and felt very annoyed. Suddenly, a middle-aged woman came in when they didn't know what to do. "Hello, I want to confess!"
Everyone looked over. The woman kneeled and cried as soon as she saw Jane and Cherry. "I'm so sorry. I ordered them to kidnap Cynthia." "Fiona, why did you..." Jane and Cherry pretended to be stunned.
Burnell and his men were literally shocked. They didn't know this woman at all. They looked at these three women acting and started to wonder if their memory had been completely modified. This couldn't be real.
"What's going on?" The policeman asked quickly in confusion.
Fiona's face was full of sorrow, and she looked at Burnell coldly. "I am a servant of the Miller family and have worked for them for more than 20 years. They have treated me very well, and I have always been very grateful. But more than ten years ago, Mr. Miller brought Cynthia home. I often saw Mrs. Miller crying, and Cynthia always bullied Cherry. After Cynthia married Alston, Mrs. Miller and Cherry dared not to offend them because the Smith family was very powerful. However, Cynthia still bullied them and always jeered at them..."
She said with anger and hatred in her eyes, "That day when Cynthia came back to the Miller family, Mrs. Miller cooked for her. She didn't eat and even flipped the table and insisted on asking for the Miller family's share. Cynthia already had nothing to do with the Miller family after she got married. How could she come back and ask for the share? I couldn't bear her anymore. So, after Cynthia left the house, I knocked her out."
Burnell and the others were dumbfounded. They looked at her fake performance and didn't react for a while.
"I met Burnell and his group on the street. I had a lot of savings, so I promised that as long as they kidnapped Cynthia, I would give them 200 thousand. But they were very greedy and blackmailed me for another 100 thousand. I have evidence and the text message of the withdrawal..."
Fiona showed the police the transfer records and the screenshots of the text messages.
"I have been keeping this matter from Mrs. Miller and Cherry, I just got the news that they were arrested by mistake. I am very sorry, so I decided to come here and confess everything."
Burnell's mind was blank, and he looked at Jane in disbelief. Seeing the complacency in her eyes, he immediately understood that this whole story was fake. Jane actually found a scapegoat.
He lost his mind and tried to break free, but he was suppressed by the police. So he could only look at Jane with hatred.
Jane and Cherry glanced at him with disgust and casually looked at the police officer. "Since we've proved our innocence, can we leave now?"
The policeman looked at the evidence and sighed. Then, he asked Fiona, "You asked someone to kidnap Mrs. Smith, right?"
"Yes!" Fiona looked down and confessed.
There was no reason to keep Jane and Cherry any longer since someone had come over to confess everything with conclusive evidence.
"You can leave now."
Jane breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Fiona, who was in handcuffs and said movingly, "Fiona, you did something wrong. But I know you did it for Cherry and me. We're sorry. Don't worry; we'll take care of your family. After you are released, you can still come to work for our family."
After hearing this, Fiona finally raised her head, and her eyes were red with tears, "Thank you, Mrs. Miller. I'm so sorry. I know you were arrested because of me.
Burnell looked at their performance and became even more furious. Jane had never believed him from the beginning and prepared a way out. Now, he knew he was doomed.
