I'm telling you the truth; I used my ultimate move.
Clara's memory of that time was blurry.
She only remembered that the person wore a very large fisherman's hat with a wide brim, and she was wearing loose clothing with a bulging belly.
"She took me down a very dark and dark road... then I got in a car and it drove for a long, long time... When I slowly regained my senses, I found myself under a bridge."
She walked aimlessly, and then she met Andrew.
Susie was a little nervous and asked, "Who was that person?"
Clara pursed her lips and looked at her, saying, "Someone you know, your former second aunt..."
Susie widened her eyes, another second aunt?
Mara killed the ugly ghost in order to be with Uncle David. And then she secretly sent Mom away?
Clara said, "Her hat covered her face, and I only saw her face for a moment when I looked up, and then I followed her."
If Susie hadn't asked, she wouldn't even have remembered until now.
"Why did she do this?" Susie couldn't figure it out.
Mara and Mom had no grudges or grievances!
Why would she harm Mom like this?
Clara shook her head, "I don't know."
"She's my second sister-in-law and also my first sister-in-law... I remember she was pretty good to me usually."
Clara and Susie looked at each other, and Susie immediately said, "I'll go find Dad!"
Alex tilted his head and said, "Daddy's not here, where did Bapa go? Daddy, Daddy, where are we going..."
Clara remembered, oh, Kellen seems to have gone to "a meeting" these days.
It seems he wants to quit his job, but they're not agreeing.
Susie said, "Then I'll go find Uncle Martin!"
The little one hastily put on her shoes and ran to the study.
Martin was working in the study and caught Panko as Susie ran in.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
Susie said, "Uncle Martin, Susie can't figure out something."
Martin said, "Hmm? What's the matter?"
This little one could catch even ghosts, so what "Diana" can stump her?
Susie said, "Before, my mom was taken away by my second aunt. Susie couldn't understand why my second aunt would do this to my mom, as they had no grudges against each other."
The smile on Martin's face froze in an instant, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. "Your mom said that Mara took her away back then?" Martin asked in a cold voice.
Susie nodded.
Martin stood up and said, "Let's go ask Mara about this matter."
His face was icy, and he vaguely guessed the reason behind it. The Murray family had eight sons, but only Clara was a daughter. As the only girl in the Murray family, Clara was spoiled and loved. Before she went missing, Mara was only a few days away from giving birth. If Mara knew in advance that she was having a daughter, she might have sent Clara away for this reason - so that her daughter could replace Clara as the darling of the Murray family.
But Martin couldn't believe that it was just because of such a simple reason, and Mara hadn't even given birth at that time...
The car soon arrived at the prison. Mara was sentenced to 25 years for intentional homicide and the severity of the case. Her life ended just like that.
When she saw Martin bringing Susie to see her, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, followed by ecstasy!
After being imprisoned, no one from the Murray family came to see her, not even Lucy.
Now Martin brought Susie to see her... Did she have a chance to plead for a reduction of her sentence or even parole?
She knew she was wrong; really knew she was wrong!
In prison, it is both bitter and tiring, and there seems to be no end in sight.
Shouldn't this punishment be enough for her?
Can't she be allowed to leave now?
She promises that she will be a good wife and mother in the future...
"Martin..." Mara's eyes turned red, and the sound of her handcuffs and leg cuffs rattled.
There are several types of meetings that can take place in prison.
One is a general visit, where family members and prisoners communicate through a glass window using a phone.
The second is a special visit, where there is a dedicated meeting room with a guard present.
Now, Martin's visit with Mara belongs to the latter, to the point where Mara has an unrealistic illusion.
Martin's face is cold, "Don't say those two words. The Murray family has no relationship with you now."
Tears flowed down Mara's face, and she felt extremely unfair. How could they have no relationship? She is Lucy's biological mother, and Lucy carries the blood of the Murray family, so she is related to the Murray family!
Martin knew from Mara's expression that she was ready to argue. He didn't want to hear any of that and asked directly, "Mara, did you take Clara away back then?"
Mara, who was preparing to speak, froze for a moment, then looked surprised, "Martin, what are you talking about? How could I...how could I do such a thing!"
Susie sat in a large chair, her little hands folded on the table, her chin resting on her hand, looking at Mara with a slightly tilted head.
"Aunt Mara, you're lying!" she said. "Daddy said that when people lie, their eyes look to the right and their gaze flickers, so you're lying."
Even a child like her can see it, so who is Mara trying to fool?
Martin corrected her in a low voice, "Don't call her 'Aunt Mara'. Now she is just a stranger, a criminal."
Mara's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant...
So, she was thinking too much. Judging from Martin's attitude, the Murray family didn't seem like they would forgive her!
Susie changed her question, "Aunt Mara, if my mother didn't offend you, why did you harm her?"
Mara pursed her lips and turned her head to the side, "I already said it wasn't me!"
Martin sternly shouted, "Mara! Are you still denying it at this point?"
Mara suddenly turned her head, her eyes red, "How am I still denying it? If I didn't do it, then I didn't do it! Why should I be accused?"
Mara is smart enough to know that if Martin had evidence, he wouldn't have come to ask her.
He would just spend some money to make her suffer in jail! She won't admit it, but the Murray family will never find evidence.
Mara is resolute in her attitude, with a desperate look in her eyes, and a self-deprecating smile. "Well, how can you believe me now?" "You think I'm the biggest villain in the world just because you think I killed May. You just want to pin any charge on me, don't you?"
Martin looks at her performance and is speechless.
Clara angrily says, "Susie, go get her!" Susie immediately threatens, "Aunt Mara, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for using my trump card!" The little girl snarls and clenches her fists, just like a little tiger.
Clara is so adorable that it's against the rules! This is not a threat at all... Mara is stunned.
What trump card does this little kid have?
She looks at Martin and sees that he is looking at Susie.
Is it really Susie's trump card?
What kind of trump card could a little kid have?
She subconsciously asks, "What trump card...?"
Susie lowers her voice and says, "I'll make my mother confront you face to face."
Mara is speechless.
What? Have Clara confront her?
That's ridiculous!
Clara is already dead, and even if they dug up her bones and got the top forensic experts to examine them, they would never find any evidence that Mara killed her!
Mara thought Susie really had some trump card, but now she can finally relax.
