Chapter 4

Officer Davis asked Richard, “When you adopted Chloe, did the orphanage mention a twin?”

Richard snapped, “I only adopted one brat like her!”

“I’m her father! I know her best. She must’ve used some trick, but she’s the killer!”

“Officer, lock her up! Make her pay for my wife’s death!”

Officer Davis frowned. “Is that how a father talks? Even if she’s adopted, she’s still human. You can’t just throw her life away.”

Richard sized up Officer Davis, then scoffed. “Oh, I get it! No wonder she snuck out—she’s sleeping with you!”

“You helped her escape to kill my wife!”

Officer Davis was a straight-arrow guy. Richard’s accusation made his face burn with anger.

The captain slammed his hand on the table. “Richard, watch your mouth! This is a police station—we won’t stand for false accusations!”

Richard shrugged. “A murderer’s a murderer. Locked up or not, she did it!”

Cops were getting suspicious. Richard didn’t act like a grieving husband—more like a guilty man trying to pin blame.

They sent someone to check Tiffany’s relationship with Mom.

Richard exploded. “What are you doing? There’s nothing to investigate!”

“I’m the victim’s husband! Don’t I get to know who killed my wife?”

Everyone there was confused.

Richard kept ranting, trying to rile up the reporters.

But the reporters could tell something was off and decided to wait for police updates.

I was waiting too.

Soon a forensics tech rushed in: “We found something in the Wu family’s video! After enhancement, the ‘Chloe’ pushing her has a faint neck seam.”

All eyes turned to me in shock.

Everyone gasped, trying to process what that meant.

The room turned hostile. Tiffany glared at me. “Chloe, did you get someone to wear a realistic mask to frame me?”

Richard’s eyes blazed. “I knew it! You manipulative witch!”

Just then, a helicopter roared overhead.

I panicked. “Julian, cut the drama! They’re gonna kill me!”
