Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 95 Mastermind

That was no accident; it was obviously planned. Though William had drunk a lot that day, he sobered up immediately when he saw Everleigh being dragged into the alley.

The usually bustling street was completely, eerily vacant, and a single car was parked at the entrance of the alley. Its headlights shone in the rain, piercing his eyes.

At that moment, he felt that the person in the car was no different from the Grim Reaper.

To do such a thing to a twenty-year-old girl was worse than killing her off, regardless of whatever purpose or grudge they had.

Against the rain and darkness of the night, he easily avoided the car and went undiscovered.

"This is the photo I took that day," his voice was light, "The car is parked right at the alley entrance. I took a photo of its license plate. At that time, I thought that all I could do was to help you retain some of the evidence, but then..." "Then?"

Everleigh's heart was in a mess at his words. Christopher had told her that what happened in the past was definitely more complicated than they thought. It was not something that could be done by an ordinary person. These were now confirmed by the photo from William.

There was someone behind all this.

William's voice was running dry, "Then, I wanted to investigate the owner of this license plate, so I asked a friend of mine who worked in the Vehicle Administrative Office. The same afternoon, he called and warned me to not investigate any further."

Her heart clenched, "After that?"

"I didn't believe him and asked other friends to help me. The next day, there were problems with my application to work at the school and I was let go. There was also something wrong with my Ph. D. screening."

William was a year ahead of Everleigh. Seven years ago, she was in her fourth year of school. He had just graduated, finishing five years of studies in both his degree and master's. At the same time, he received a recommendation to work in the school while continuing his Ph. D. He had a bright future in front of him.

Surely, his career and Ph. D. were miles important to him than meddling in unknown affairs.
