Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 294

As for the memory card, Queenie claimed she had no knowledge of it.

Someone sent it to her on Christmas, saying it was the evidence that Isabella had buried in the oak forest. She immediately listened to the recording and discovered that Robin had indeed recorded their conversation back then.

However, the crucial parts of the recording had been deliberately damaged, leaving only the incomplete conversation between the two of them. Listening to this fragment alone, one would undoubtedly suspect Queenie.

But in reality, another person was at the scene back then, even though that person's voice was removed from the recording.

"Who was it?" the interrogating officer asked.

Queenie suddenly fell silent. She seemed to be deep in thought, her eyes losing focus.

After a long pause, she snapped out of her reverie and said, "I was the one who told Robin to do it. I asked him to kill Daphne Jones and make it look like an accident."

Daphne Jones was Hera's adoptive mother.

Hera watched Queenie coldly through the one-way glass. She knew that Queenie was lying to protect the real culprit.

"Why did you want to kill Daphne?" the officer continued to ask.

"Because I couldn't stand her," Queenie replied.

This flimsy excuse seemed consistent with her past arrogant and domineering behavior.

However, 11 years ago, she was a nobody in the Killians and couldn't pose a threat to anyone in Albert's family.

Moreover, Queenie was a perfectionist who cared about her image. Therefore, she wouldn't easily involve herself in a murder unless absolutely necessary or if it benefited her.

Even so, she was likely just a pawn. Even if she were arrested and sentenced, the true culprit would remain free.

No matter how much the police interrogated Queenie after that, she refused to reveal the real mastermind behind everything.

In the surveillance room, Hera turned to Bernard and called out to him.

"Bernard."

He looked into her dark, clear eyes gazing at him and suddenly felt dry in his throat.

"Hmm?"

"Did you learn any effective interrogation techniques in the military?" Hera asked.

Bernard understood her meaning and raised an eyebrow.

"And?"

She pointed at the interrogation room through the glass and said, "They're being inefficient. If you have any tricks up your sleeve, could you show them?"

She had finally found evidence and captured someone. Just as the name of her adoptive mother's killer was about to be revealed, Queenie clammed up. She was running out of patience and wanted to get Queenie to talk quickly.

Seeing her anxious and troubled, Bernard decided to tease her.

"Beg me."

Kane, who was also in the surveillance room, almost spat out his water.

He could have accepted it if the words had been from Shaun. He had thought that Bernard was supposed to be indifferent to women. He wondered what Bernard was doing by flirting in public now.

"Please."

Hera could only beg.

Her voice was cold and different from her usual tone. It was mixed with a touch of obedience and sounded softer, which made Bernard's throat feel even drier.

"Alright. I'll show you some tricks."

Bernard ruffled her hair and turned to leave.

However, as soon as he left the surveillance room, there was a sudden commotion in the interrogation room.

Pushed to the brink, Queenie

realized that even if she confessed to everything, she would still face the death penalty. She was

l

desperate to replace out about Zyler, so she bit her tongue in an attempt to commit suicide.

The two interrogating officers immediately stood up to stop her.

By the time Hera arrived in the interrogation room, Queenie was already bleeding from her mouth. The police were escorting her out of the interrogation room to send her to the hospital for treatment.
