Eden was extremely nervous after he knocked and killed someone with his car.
He headed back home straight, fell on his knees and cried out the truth to Owen.
After learning the truth, they decided to make Georgia a replacement as the murderer in the accident.
Six years had passed, Eden thought no one would ever remember that incident anymore.
But whenever Eden thought of the possibility that someone might reveal the truth and he would need to
bear the consequences of his action, his body would start to tremble uncontrollably.
"I don't even know who Wendy is, I have no idea what are you talking about. I might have argued with a
woman six years ago, but I can't even remember who it was. If it was the same night that Wendy was
murdered, I remembered that I was drunk that night, I drove a short distance and called my sister to
come to fetch me. I waited for a long time, but she didn't show up, hence, I parked my car on the side
and took a taxi home. I didn't know that my sister arrived later, picked up the car and even got into an
accident. "
This was the speech prepared and said by Eden, today, he repeated it nervously.
Both Emma and Owen felt relieved when Eden recited that speech. They were worried that something
might go wrong with Lane’s family.
They told Eden years ago to never forget the speech and just recite the same speech again should
there be any incident like what was happening at the moment.
"Ma’am, are you being suspicious that Eden might be the murderer? That's not possible. Eden was
drunk, he called his sister for help but she wasn’t there on time, so he took a taxi home. Who would
have known that Georgia arrived later at the scene and involved in an accident? It was all our fault, we
are sorry."
Owen explained while Flora helped.
"What happened back then was indeed an accident, but the person who drove was not Eden. Eden
was drunk and frightened, so he called his sister to pick him up after driving for a short while. No one
would have predicted that Georgia would have driven the car under alcohol influence and got involved
in a car accident, we are truly sorry …"
Georgia couldn't help but gave a mockery smile looking at their acting.
Robert Simpson was observing Georgia all the while, he didn't believe a single word from Eden.
But, there was no evidence.
Robert felt that every single person of the Lanes’ had a reason to lie. Maisie on the other hand stopped
questioning Owen and Eden, she turned and looked at Georgia instead.
"They claimed that you were the one driving that night, Ms Georgia, please tell us your side of the story.
"Ma’am, I've said that I am not the murderer. I was drugged by my father that night and was sold to a
man named Chester Rogers. Luckily I was able to escape and went home. But my beloved father
knocked me out the moment I arrived home. And when I was conscious again, I was at the scene of
the accident and ended up in jail for six years. I didn't even know what happened and who did I murder
or serving jailed time on behalf of whom… but now I know, the jailed time was served on behalf of my
beloved little brother…
Georgia laughed sarcastically, Owen stood up and slapped her on her face angrily.
"You ungrateful child, how could you blame it on your brother? You had been telling lies about your
siblings ever since your mother died. You felt that I wasn't fair to you and claimed that your stepmother
was evil. You are still trying to blame your fault on your brother up until now! What is that you really
want? What's your motive?"
Owen shouted boldly, Georgia raised her head and looked at him.
"I am telling the truth about Eden, the truth that lies in your heart. I swear that if there's even one word
that I said was a lie, I will have a horrible death, same goes for my family members, including my
daughter. I am not afraid to make such a statement, but can you?"
Georgia stood up and told him.
Owen cleared his throat, he was a Buddhist and dare not make such a statement.
Robert’s mom looked at Owen suspiciously, Emma quickly stood up and raised her hand.
"Ma’am, I can swear too. My brother is innocent, Georgia was the driver, she's telling lies now. If I'm
lying, I swear that I will die a miserable lonely woman.
"That's enough! Stop making all this drama."
Maisie yelled.
She believed neither of them, but Georgia used to lie to Robert using a fake DNA report, of course, she
would be more suspicious about her.
She turned to Georgia.
“Ms Georgia, if you are telling the truth, where is your evidence?"
"I remembered the hotel I was sent to that night. I'm not sure if they keep a record of the CCTV
recording, but apart from that, I asked the receptionist to buy some clothes for me. If she's still working
there and remembers me, she could be my alibi. I wasn’t present at the scene of the accident and
wasn't driving.
"Give me the name of the hotel, I will investigate."
Robert stood up and said to Georgia.
Maisie remained silent, she approved Robert’s decision.
When Georgia was about to reveal the name of the hotel, Eden had a seizure out of a sudden,
"Pill…give me pill..."
Eden looked at everyone fiercely, he was begging for a pill.
Selena jumped up.
"Have him under control, he is having a tremor!"
All of them were in chaos, and all discussions stopped immediately.
Owen, Emma and Flora looked at Eden nervously while Selena called for the ambulance and ordered
two strong men to tie him up.
It was all chaotic in the Simpson’s household, Eden continued shaking uncontrollably and it was scary
when tremors hit a drug addict.
Georgia felt like Eden could easily kill someone if they released him, and she asked everyone to give
him pills.
Eden was sent to the hospital, Flora, Emma and Owen went along.
Maisie’s energy was drained and stopped her interrogation, she sent Georgia out while Selena
followed.
"Ms Georgia, I don't believe that you were the murderer, I witnessed the fight between Wendy and
Eden that night, Eden seemed really drunk and impulsive, it is completely believable that he could
knock and killed Wendy with his car."
Georgia smiled at Selena.
"Thank you for trusting me and thank you for revealing what happened years ago. If you hadn't said
anything, they will take me as Wendy’s murderer forever. Although they are still in doubt, at least they
are being suspicious of others, sadly I don’t have enough evidence in hand."
Georgia said disappointedly.
"Didn't you mention being at a hotel? You said you went to the reception, let me investigate for you."
Georgia looked at Selena with surprised, but she thanked her immediately.
"Thank you, Ms Selena."
"There's nothing to thank me for, I grew up with Wendy, I don't want the real murderer to be free from
legal punishment, and this is the least I can do for her."
Georgia nodded gratefully.
"But it is still a huge favour you are doing for me, thank you."
Both of them smiled at each other and Selena asked suddenly.
"It's only quarter past one, where are you heading to? Do you need a lift?"
Georgia thought she had to be back for work, but when she was about to say something, Robert’s car
stopped beside her.
"Get on, let's go to the hotel, don't you want to find out the truth?"
