Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1641 âI didnât, I didnâtâ¦. â
Rebecca denied it repeatedly. She was shaking like a leaf.
Recently, she had been trying to please Titus,Matthew, and Sheryl. She thought she could deceive everyone by being careful.
She was even secretly pleased with herself, even thinking that these people were too easy to fool Unexpectedly, her schemes had not been able to escape Titusâ eyes.
This man was too terrifying.
âYou didnât?â Titus sneered coldly. âDo you know why I never said anything before? Itâs because I thought you were Sherylâs daughter. I knew that she owed you and is trying to make things up to you, so I turned a blind eye. After all, Iâve seen too many people like you in the Costner family. You want money, but thatâs fine since I have money. Itâs harmless to give you a little more, but itâs obvious that you want more.â
âUncle Titus, youâve really misunderstood me. Did Catherine say something to you? Donât be deceived by her.â Rebecca continued to struggle.
Catherine could not bear to listen anymore. â
Rebecca Jones, do you know what your fatal flaw is?â
She went forward step by step. âYou want to stand at the top of the pyramid. You think that everyone will be deceived by your hypocritical acting skills. You think that your tricks will work on everyone since you deceived Ethan like that before, but you forgot something. No matter how well you hide your background, upbringing, and true nature, they canât be concealed from the eyes of insightful people. To them, you just look like a buffoon.â
âCatherine, stop trying to sow discord. Youâre clearly the hypocrite here! â Rebecca argued loudly, showing an extremely aggrieved and sorrowful expression. âItâs always like this. Iâm clearly the victim, but people are always tricked by you.â
Catherine laughed. âDidnât Wesley inform you who youâre trying to get close to? Titus Costner is the head of the Costner family. Heâs lived for more than four decades. He always makes decisive decisions and is always right. Heâs incredibly knowledgeable. When you were born, he was already a formidable person whom the people in Neah Bay were in awe of. What kind of person hasnât he met or encountered before? If he doesnât have any skills, how did he secure the position he has today? Did you think you could hide your little schemes from him?â
âSheâs right.â
Titus gave Catherine an admiring look. Then, he said, âRebecca, you encouraged Sherry to kidnap Suzie, didnât you? I donât believe that she would do something like that on her own.â
Rebecca hurriedly argued, âYes, Suzieâs kidnapping is related to us. But I specifically told the kidnappers not to hurt her. I only wanted to force Catherine to hand Matthew over.â
âEnough, stop pretending,â Catherine interrupted her. âMatthew fell into the hands of Wesley and you.â
âThatâs ridiculous! â Rebecca quickly looked at Titus. âMatthew is my brother. Iâm supposed to protect him. How could I have harmed him instead? Uncle Titus, donât believe her.â
A trace of disgust flashed across Titusâ defined features. âIâve already caught those kidnappers. Iâll have them sent to the police station.â
When Rebecca heard this, her heart calmed down. However, she did not dare to reveal anything in her expression and continued to shake her head desperately. âI didnât do it. Iâm really innocent.â
âTake her away and send her to the station.â Titus jerked his chin at Catherine.
Elle was overjoyed. She never expected that they would be able to capture Rebecca so easily today. It was too unexpected. However, just as she was about to go forward, Catherine suddenly stopped her.
âWait.â
âWhatâs wrong?â Elle was confused. âThe police will find out that Rebecca is the mastermind once they interrogate the other kidnappers. The evidence is conclusive.â
âIâm afraid that the kidnappers wonât say that sheâs the mastermind.â Catherineâs eyes were cold. âWhat if they say that the person who instructed them was Sheryl?â
Rebecca was shocked. She did not expect Catherine to guess that.
The next second, Titusâ large hand once again choked Rebecca. âVery well, then. Men, lock her up.â
âYou canât do this. â Rebecca panicked. âIf my mom finds out, she wonât forgive you. â
