Chapter 480

The police had even found this woman's fingerprints on the rooftop.

And at the chocolate boutique, purchase records confirmed her order history.

It was all too perfect.

If Sarah hadn't seen Vivian with her own eyes, hadn't heard her cold confession that day-perhaps she, too, would have believed it.

Mrs. Mendes let out a bitter laugh, her expression vacant.

"Even when the evidence is laid bare, they'll always have someone ready to take the fall."

Her voice was hoarse, empty.

Perhaps, before, her reluctance to speak had been instinctive self-preservation.

But now, when she had finally found the courage to seek justice-she realized how naive she had been.

Sarah shook her head, her voice quiet but firm.

"It's because they are rotten to the core-so cruel they can erase a life without hesitation. So powerful they can use another life to shield their own."

She had expected this.

From the racecourse incident to Tina Mendes' death, everything traced back to Vivian.

"Miss Sanders, I found what you were looking for. I've sent the information to your email."

"Good. I'll transfer the money shortly."

After hanging up, Sarah opened her inbox.
