Chapter 314

All evidence obtained by the police indicated Christopher as Scarlett’s murderer.

She had also arranged for people to inspect the scene but found no trace of a third party involved in the incident.

If Layla hadn’t believed Christopher, she would have suspected that Christopher was the one who killed Scarlett.

Layla felt a headache surging upon her. She then propped her elbows to support her head and massaged her temple with her fingers. After a few minutes, the headache eased gradually.

She then stood up and walked to the window, opened it, and let the night breeze in the room.

She had never told anyone that she owed Christopher a lot.

In fact, she was actually repulsed by Christopher’s existence when she was a child. It was perfect to have only her and Kendrick at home. Zachary had high hopes for Kendrick, and Mrs. Solace couldn’t interfere. Hence, before Christopher was born, she was the Solace family’s darling, indulged by her parents and Kendrick.

After Christopher was born, she felt that Christopher had taken everything she had.

Even her mother’s health was taken away by him.

Consequently, before the incident occurred when Christopher was six years old, she had often bullied Christopher behind Kendrick’s and her parents’ backs.

When Christopher first learned to walk, she deliberately pushed him to the ground, bullied Christopher when he was young, and even mocked him for being clumsy and not being able to walk properly.

She secretly ruined Christopher’s birthday gifts prepared by his parents and would snicker inwardly when she saw Christopher crying miserably.

At that time, she thought Christopher didn’t understand, so no matter how she bullied him, he would always call her “Layla” as he followed her around.

Due to Kendrick’s busy schedule, Layla was the only one at home with Christopher and their age difference wasn’t that big either.
