Chapter 215: No Threat to Me

Claire’s arm trembled and she suddenly looked up, startled, at him, “No? How do you know?”

Sean’s hand gently pressed her slightly trembling arm and he said slowly.

“First of all, Paula’s reaction was wrong, if she really did it, there should have been a look of guilt on her face when you asked her, but she didn’t. You might say that she disguised herself well, but then when Master Summers questioned her, there was a clear flash of disappointment in her eyes, and her disappointment should have been towards Master Summers‘ attitude.”

These subtle changes in expression were not noticed by Claire, who only noticed that there really wasn’t a hint of guilt showing on Paula’s face when she asked her that question.

But she was still puzzled, “Then… why did she admit it?”

It was a murder charge, why would she admit it if she didn’t do it?

Sean smiled and patiently explained.

“Frederick had said before, Master Summers had always been very fond of your mother, he had two daughters who grew up together and one of them was preferred. The other ignored will always crave to be recognized and loved by their parents.”

Claire nodded her head, and she could understand this. She and Clarissa were like this, they grew up together, she was the one who was always ignored, she always studied hard, and desperately wanted to make her father notice her. The longing for father’s love in the bottom of her heart was stronger than that of any child.

Sean continued, “The moment Master Summers questioned her, all the expectations inside of her were shattered, your mother had disappeared for so many years, but Master Summers still didn’t fully trust her, and even suspected that she killed her sister, she was too disappointed and…”

Claire snaps, “So she decided to take the blame?”

“Pretty much.” Sean raised his hand, gently tapping her forehead, “It’s also possible that what happened to your mother has always been a pain in Master Summers’s heart, and that the whole thing, in fact, was caused by him forcibly, trying to break up your mother and Joseph, but as the head of the family, he has pride, and he won’t blame himself for his own faults. Paula probably wanted to relieve him of it, so she admitted it.”

After listening to Sean’s analysis, Claire thought it made sense.
