A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 894 Prove It

He looked at her. A breeze blew with her fragrance. He paused for a moment when he smelled it.

Rae didn't notice that. She was reading the materials with attention.

Her lips were beautiful, soft and watery. Her nose was straight and her eyes were dark. She seemed to be overwhelmed with sorrow and longing, and out of reach to him.

She was very beautiful.

Kaden said that Rae was a virgin while Mathew said that Rae had been pregnant before. Which statement should he believe?

Marcel fell into deep thoughts and ignored the fact that the cigarette was between his fingers. So, he accidentally burned his hand with the cigarette end. He was a little surprised and threw it.

Rae noticed it and turned to look at Marcel.

Marcel looked at Rae and frowned. When he saw Rae's complicated gaze, he was a bit stunned.

Rae said, "I don't know why Mathew insults me, but I am innocent."

Marcel was stunned for a moment, smiled and walked over, "As Kaden puts it, you are a maiden?"

Rae ignored his question and said, "I know you won't believe me. I don't have to explain to you."

"Are you angry?" Marcel got close to Rae and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why don't we have a try tonight? So, you can prove it to me, okay?"

Marcel said as if implying something.

Rae stepped back and her eyes glistened, "Aren't you afraid that I have it repaired?"

Marcel laughed, "No. I can appreciate it with a magnifying glass to find out if it is real."

"You are so annoying!" Rae blushed and scolded.

Marcel said, "Rae, I believe you!"

Rae had no idea if he told a lie, but she felt touched when she heard that.

"I cannot prove it myself. I don't know if you do believe me, but I really hope that you could believe me!"

There was a hint of longing in Rae's voice.

Marcel threw a thoughtful gaze at Rae, stood up and said, "It's time to interrogate Braeden!"

Rae was stunned.

"You don't trust me, do you?" She said at a loss.

"You are too sensitive!" Marcel reached out to rub her hair. "I trust you and have way to prove your innocence. But now we need to concentrate on our work to solve this case!"

Rae nodded and went to the interrogation room with him.

Rae was a little surprised when she saw Braeden.

Other people would be very furious if they were detained, but Braeden was different. He remained calm. His clothes were clean, and he was still ramrod straight, which was admirable.

Rae thought to herself. Even a heinous person would have merits to be appreciated. Braeden looked very clean and generous even if he was in such a difficult situation. No wonder Sammy liked him so much. He was very capable and scrupulous. He knew Sammy's habits very well and could cater to her pleasure.

Marcel said down and said to Garbassi, "Garbassi, tell the investigation results to Braeden. He has the right to know that."

"Yes!" Garbassi nodded and spent ten minutes telling Braeden all about the investigation.

Braeden kept calm while listening to it.

After Garbassi finished speaking, Marcel said, "Braeden, what do you want to say?"

Braeden smiled, "Sir, I have nothing to do with Philippa's and Melody's death, do I?"

Marcel was stunned.

Braeden said, "I'm not a suspect, am I?"

Marcel smiled without a word.

Braeden added, "Your reasoning is wonderful, but who can prove that I am the man responsible? Zack? Kaden? Sammy? They are all involved. You can accuse us of behaving obscenely. Apart from that, we've done nothing wrong!"

Braeden completely shifted the responsibility.

Rae felt Braeden was really crafty. He disassociated himself from the case by saying a few words. However, there was no point in doing it.

Marcel looked at Braeden with a faint smile, "Braeden, we don't care about whether you admit or not. We have the evidence to prove your guilt. The prosecutor will review the case. Out investigation and interrogation are over. As for your statement, the prosecutor will judge it."

Braeden was a bit shocked and recovered his equilibrium soon. "I don't care!"

"Even if Joanna has died, you are not concerned?" Marcel asked.

Braeden was sitting on the chair. He frowned and didn't believe it.

"I have nothing to do with Joanna's death, do I? I'm in custody and can't get out to kill her." Braeden said in a cold voice, "She was together with me before. So what? She has slept with too many men."

Marcel scanned Braeden, "Sammy has seen through your plan. You get nothing and will be sentenced. Your parents' marriage has broken just because of her. What a pity that you failed to avenge on her.

Braeden sat still and no one could figure out what he was thinking.

Rae felt that Braeden was a scheming guy. He had a great mindset, but he used his wisdom to commit a criminal. Actually, a lot of suspects were mentally strong. Otherwise, they would not murder others for property.

Braeden was one in a million. He didn't kill others himself but aroused conflicts between people to manipulate others, so he would not be put to death.

Rae looked at him and appreciated him in her mind.

Braeden looked around. When he saw Rae, he squinted and lowered his head. Rae didn't know what he was thinking and fixed her gaze on Braeden. Braeden suddenly raised his head and looked at Rae.

Rae was a bit confused. She was afraid that Braeden would speak ill of her since Braeden had known Rae before.

Her guess seemed to be right because Braeden looked at her as if implying something. However, she had to remain calm to face him.

Fortunately, Braeden turned his gaze soon.

After a long time, Braeden's Adam's apple slid. He said softly, "You misunderstand me. Sammy and I were in love before."

"In love?" Marcel questioned Braeden.

Braeden put on a mocking smile. "Sir, you don't believe in love? Even so, you cannot question people who believe in love, right?"

Hearing that, Marcel put on a faint smile. "Braeden, you don't need to provoke me. It's not important to me at all. You are in love with your father's ex-girlfriend. Could it be possible? Moreover, she is thirty years older than you!"

Braeden was neither angry nor embarrassed. He just looked at them calmly and said, "Romance knows no borders, no races, no ages and no genders. Why can't I love a woman much older than me? Why are you so surprised?"

"According to your statement, I cannot question your romance. But, why do you introduce her to Kaden?" Marcel did not get angry with Braeden. He was very calm. He needed to be patient when dealing with such a shameless man.

"I love her so much and I can't satisfy her desire, but I want to give her the best!"

Braeden's words astonished everyone. It was so unreasonable. He seemed to irritate everyone deliberately. "Kaden has good physical strength and good character. He is handsome. So why can't I introduce him to my lover. I have no objections. What qualifications do you have to accuse me?"

Hearing that, Marcel was stunned. He knew that Braeden was shameless, but he didn't expect that Braeden would say so. He had to think out a way to get the truth out of Braeden.

"Braeden, Sammy is your father's ex-girlfriend. She is also the mistress of the Gill family, Mathew's wife and Raphael's mother. You love a woman who has been married. Do you think is it ethical?"

"Falling in love with a person leads to mistakes and sins!" Braeden said.

Marcel said, "Don't make yourself ridiculous."

Braeden didn't take it seriously. "I feel painful when I have to suppress my feelings. Morally, I am not allowed to fall in love with my father's girlfriend. She is even thirty years older than me. It is a sin in your eyes. But what can we do? We've fallen in love with each other deeply!" Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"In love?" Marcel chuckled, "Sammy has different view."

Braeden was firm. "She is frightened by you. She won't tell the truth even if she loves me. If she hadn't loved me, she wouldn't have slept with me. As you say, she was together with my father and they even lived together. She must be too embarrassed to say that she loves me. She told you that it was her mistake to be with me, right?"

Braden understood human nature well. He had been a school counsellor, so he must have learned educational psychology.

When others were interrogated, they were not as brazen as Braden. Braden was making fun of the police as if they were monkeys.

Marcel looked at Braden and asked, "If you love her so much, why are you together with other women?"
