Evelyn Ross didn't expect Liam Lowell to be captured so quickly.
She didn't know Grace Lorenz had already set a tight trap.
Police colleagues were monitoring Liam Lowell around the clock.
The arrest operation launched immediately after receiving the text message.
Reporters rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, following the entire process.
When police stormed the dormitory, Linda Lowell was throwing a fit.
She grabbed Liam, pinching and hitting him.
The slap echoed loudly.
"Ungrateful son! How dare you write a Letter of Forgiveness?"
"Are you worthy of your dead father?"
"Have you no conscience for money?"
"I'll beat you to death today!"
Liam was thin and weak, trapped with no escape.
Surrounded by watching classmates, he burned with shame and anger.
Police arrived just in time.
Liam saw them as saviors. "Take this madwoman away!"
Instead, officers showed handcuffs. "You're suspected of murder. Please cooperate with the investigation."
The scene fell silent instantly.
Linda froze. "Why arrest him? You should arrest Evelyn Ross!"
Reporters swarmed forward.
"Officer, is this a mistake?"
"How did the victim become a suspect?"
"Did the Vance Group exert pressure?"
"Is there something shady going on here?"
Linda screamed. "Arrest Evelyn Ross! Execute her!"
The police officer's expression was grave.
This incident had too much impact. The public demanded answers.
...
Vance family living room.
Isabella Ashcroft turned pale.
Evelyn's confidence made her panic.
Julian Evans pressed aggressively. "Uncle, you see? Reporters are targeting the Vances!"
"Will you really ruin the family's reputation for this woman?"
Alexander Vance's voice remained steady. "Think about why they arrested Liam Lowell."
Julian sneered. "Why else? To fabricate evidence!"
"He couldn't possibly be the real killer, right?"
Isabella's hands trembled as she stared at her phone screen.
A police voice came through the phone. "The real killer is Liam Lowell. He framed Miss Ross!"
Reporters erupted.
"Impossible!"
"The deceased was his own father!"
"Did you coerce a confession?"
Linda shielded Liam. "Nonsense! How could my nephew kill anyone?"
"Evelyn Ross must have bribed you!"
The officer stood firm. "We have solid evidence!"
"What evidence? Show us!"
Linda blocked them from taking Liam.
Liam pretended to be pitiful. "Aunt, save me... I already wrote the Letter of Forgiveness. What more do they want?"
Reporters immediately surrounded them.
"You can't arrest anyone without evidence!"
"Was the Letter of Forgiveness coerced?"
"Does the Vance Group have that much influence?"
"Are they silencing the victim's family?"
...
The质疑came through the phone.
Julian stepped closer. "Uncle, hear that? The public sees clearly!"
"These tactics won't save her!"
The police officer suddenly raised a phone.
A recording played publicly.
"Isabella, I killed my dad."
"Are you crazy? You'll go to jail!"
"It's fine. I'll frame Evelyn Ross."
"Isabella, I cleared the obstacles for you. I love you..."
Three sentences shocked everyone.
Liam looked up suddenly, face full of disbelief.
Vance family living room.
Isabella staggered back, steadying herself on the sofa.
Her pupils trembled with shock.
How did the recording reach the police?
Would Liam think she betrayed him?
Trembling, she pulled out her phone to contact Liam.
Liam's roar came through the phone. "Isabella set me up! That bitch!"
"I want to see Evelyn Ross! I have something to say!!"
