Chapter 430 Mr. Knight, I Swear Every Word I Said Is True

Alaric's body jolted, and he dropped the book he was reading, his eyes boring into Hestia. Hestia couldn't bring herself to look at him, standing there with her head hanging low. "Say that again," Alaric demanded, his voice low and menacing.

Hestia's voice wavered, clearly terrified. "I said I saw what happened that day from the second floor. Mrs. Marigold Knight and Mrs. Stellan Knight were arguing. Mrs. Marigold Knight tried to snatch the phone from Mrs. Stellan Knight, but she wouldn't let go. They started fighting. Mrs. Marigold Knight got really mad and tried to grab the phone again, then Mrs. Stellan Knight pushed her. That push made Mrs. Marigold Knight fall down the stairs."

"Do you realize what you're saying? You're accusing my wife right to my face!" Alaric shouted, his anger boiling over.

Hestia quickly swore, "Mr. Knight, I wouldn't dare lie about Mrs. Stellan Knight! I saw it with my own eyes. Mrs. Stellan Knight didn't mean to do it; it was an accident. I'm not lying!"

"Then why did you wait so long to tell me? Why didn't you say anything before?" Alaric pressed on.

Hestia, trembling, replied, "I was too scared. The case was already closed, and I didn't dare speak up."

Alaric pushed further, "So why are you speaking up now?"

Hestia, now crying, said, "I've been having nightmares. I keep dreaming of Mrs. Marigold Knight blaming me for not telling you the truth. Even medication doesn't help. I had to come and tell you, or I'm afraid Mrs. Marigold Knight will come back as a ghost to haunt me."

Alaric stood up, slamming his hand on the desk. "There's no such thing as ghosts! You're talking nonsense!"

Hestia shook her head desperately, "I'm not making this up, Mr. Knight. Please believe me. I'm not lying. I served Mrs. Marigold Knight for many years. She died so tragically, and I saw it with my own eyes. I feel guilty for not speaking up."
