Chapter 445 - AH LUO IN MINE
"Mom, Ah Luo isn't yours but mine," Mo Yuan corrected his mother.
Ma Rui was speechless.
Was it important at that moment?
She glared at her son and then started to speak with Martha, "As I was saying, did you let your niece harm Luo'er deliberately?"
Martha controlled her expression and answered politely in front of Ma Rui, "Madam, there is no way I would know something like this. Even though I think Miss Han is shameless and not fit to be your daughter-in-law, I've never harmed her and I have no intention of doing so in the future. Whatever you have all found out, I believe my niece, Rachel, is innocent. There must be some kind of mistake."
Her niece, Rachel, seemed relieved when her aunt defended her.
However, Ma Rui and Mo Yuan wouldn't let it pass just because Martha said something nice about her niece.
Ma Rui crossed her arms and stated, "All right, give us a logical explanation of how on earth your niece's fingerprints got on the bleach bottle and the cabinet drawer. If you can give me a valid reason, then I will let her go. If you can't, I'll call the police."
Rachel's joyful expression turned sour. She felt like cursing Han Luo. Ever since she was going to school, she heard from her aunt, Martha, about the place she worked in.
Rachel was curious to find out about the rich family who lived in the richest area of London. Her aunt always bad-mouthed the girl who would visit the house as a freeloader.
Martha always thought that freeloader was after her employer's money and wealth. That's why she always talked badly of Han Luo in front of Rachel.
As Rachel kept hearing bad things about Han Luo and naturally had a bad impression of her. When Martha said that she wanted her niece to be the daughter-in-law of her employer, she was excited. Who wouldn't want to marry into a rich family?
She came to London when Martha told her to attend the birthday celebration of the young master of the Mo Family. She was thrilled to get the invitation.
When she saw the big mansion of the Mo Family, she was exhilarated. Later, she saw Mo Yuan wearing a tuxedo. Her heart began to race. She fell in love with him right then and there.
Afterward, her mood took a 360 degree turn when she heard Ma Rui announcing Mo Yuan's engagement with Han Luo. Before meeting Han Luo, she already disliked her. After the announcement, Rachel began to hate her with all of her beings.
She was drowning in jealousy seeing Mo Yuan carrying Han Luo to the bedroom. She wanted to go upstairs but Ma Rui was guarding the stairs as if her life was depending on it. In anger, she couldn't sleep a wink.
In the morning when she saw Mo Yuan coming out of the bedroom, she sneaked inside. She was amazed to see such a spacious bedroom filled with expensive furniture. She couldn't wait to live here with Mo Yuan.
When her eyes landed on the sleeping girl, she squinted her eyes. Han Luo's right arm was uncovered and there were red hickeys all over her hand. Rachel felt a bottle of emotions burning in her heart.
She checked their closet and was furious to see how many branded clothes and jewelry Han Luo had. 'It must be given by Yuan. She is certainly a gold digger,' she thought in annoyance. Afterward, she went to the bathroom.
At that time, a sudden thought played in her mind. 'If she is ugly, Yuan will not look at her anymore. Then, all his attention will come toward me.' As she thought that, she took bleach from the cabinet and mixed it with Han Luo's favorite strawberry shampoo.
After doing the deed, she went back to her room and waited for Han Luo's painful scream. She rolled in the bed and dreamed about Mo Yuan proposing to her.
However, no matter how long she waited, she didn't hear Han Luo's scream. To her surprise, Mo Yuan's men dragged her out of the room and took her fingerprints.
Now, she could only rely on her aunt, Martha. She looked at her aunt with pleading eyes.
Martha sighed. She had to make her niece the daughter-in-law of the Mo Family. She couldn't fail this time. "Madam, Rachel isn't that kind of a person who would do something like this. She never harmed an ant. How could she hurt Miss Han? Miss Han is so popular. Moreover, I saw many guests being jealous of Miss Han. Someone must have plotted against Miss Han and somehow took Rachel's fingerprints to cover it up."
Beth commented, "Even if someone has a grudge against Luo, how could they go to her bedroom without anyone noticing?"
This time Adam stated, "Everyone was busy for the party yesterday. No one had the time to keep an eye on the mansion." It wasn't that he was supporting Martha and Rachel. He was telling the truth.
Zheng Mian said, "So, the culprit could have done that at any time. But, how would they know that Luo was in Yuan's room?"
"They share the same bedroom. I've already remodeled their room," Ma Rui proudly declared the news.
"…" Beth, Zheng Mian and Sean gaped at her. They couldn't believe their ears. They wanted to give Ma Rui the best mother-in-law award. No wonder Mo Yuan wanted Han Luo to stay at his place. At the same time, they were glad that Han Sheng Ming wasn't present.
Sean broke the awkward silence first. "As Luo and Yuan's friends, we had no idea about this information. It means outsiders couldn't have known about the fact that they share the same bedroom. It would be impossible to check every room of the house."
He added, "This could have only one explanation. The culprit went to their bedroom after Yuan and Luo went to the bedroom. This way, it will be easy for the culprit to know in which room they are in. The culprit went to the room when they were inside the bedroom.." His eyes landed on Mo Yuan.
