Chapter 970: Chapter 970: Sad and Regrettable
“Miss Emma Winton, is it true that you alone framed the young master of the Lewis Family?”
Emma leaned against the headboard, her face devoid of makeup showing signs of weakness from illness.
However, her refined and striking features were still attractive. Upon hearing the reporter’s question, she slowly lifted her eyes, which reflected a hint of despair, and looked at the camera.
Seeing that she didn’t answer and seemed to be hesitating, the reporter didn’t rush her.
For a long time…
She seemed to have made up her mind, letting out a slight sneer, “Such a meticulous plan, how could I, someone who’s been under watch, accomplish it alone.”
The reporters at the scene murmured quietly among themselves.
“So who did you plan this with?”
“Was it your father, Owen Winton?”
“Is this matter related to your father?”
After a few questions, the room fell silent again.
Emma’s hand, resting on the blanket, clenched slightly. In her moment of hesitation, she noticed a document placed on the bedside table.
This document was delivered by the Lewis Family last night.
Emma withdrew her gaze, letting out a soft sigh.
The Lewis Family was truly ruthless, forcing her to testify against her own father.
It was a real heart-killer.
Emma redirected her gaze back to the camera.
This time, she answered firmly, “Yes, this matter was orchestrated by my father, I just followed his plan, step by step.”
There was another wave of shock at the scene.
So the real mastermind was Owen Winton!
Owen was even more ruthless than Emma.
By doing this, wasn’t he gambling with his daughter’s life?
On Owen’s side, he was staring at the screen in disbelief, his face gradually replaced by fear.
He could never have imagined that his daughter would testify against him.
Does she even know what she’s doing?
Emma wasn’t stupid. He had just pushed everything onto her, and she should have figured out why. By implicating him now, was she trying to bring them all down, to amuse the Lewis Family?
Wyatt Lewis’s lips curled into a cold smile, “Owen Winton, do you have anything else to say? Want to plead your case?”
Owen trembled with anger, “What means did you use to force Emma to say that?”
Hope Williams shook her head helplessly, “She simply saw the situation for what it was. If you refuse to accept it, you can keep watching.”
Back with Emma, the reporter continued to press, “Were you willing to cooperate with Owen Winton in doing this?”
Emma nodded, “Yes.”
“Can you explain why? You knew this was extremely risky. Why were you willing to risk your life?”
This question was on everyone’s mind.
After all, before the video was released, no one wanted to believe that Emma would use her own life, in such a dangerous and tragic way, to accuse someone.
A cold smile suddenly appeared on Emma’s face, “Because of hate, because I hate Wyatt Lewis. Without him, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. Because I don’t want to live anymore. With the situation ruined, my reputation destroyed, I’d rather die with some worth, so why not help my father and save the company?”
“Didn’t you notice as soon as the matter broke out that all attention was drawn to Wyatt, and no one cared about my situation? If I really died and took Wyatt Lewis with me, while saving our family’s company, wouldn’t that be worth it?”
The reasons were simple: because of hate, because she didn’t want to live, because she was a member of the Winton Family, willing to be used to the fullest for the family.
These reasons sounded quite sad.
The reporters at the scene quieted down.
Everyone still remembered the previously confident and flamboyant eldest Miss of the Winton Family; her transformation to this state was indeed heart-wrenching.
Emma tugged at her pale lips and asked, “Any more questions? You probably want to know my father’s entire plan, right?”
“Actually, it’s very simple. Wyatt and Aria Richardson have a habit of visiting Zoey Sanders at a fixed time every morning. I just had to control the timing before leaving to ensure I’d run into them.”
“My father sent people to create chaos, and the dagger was slipped into my hand during the commotion. My father also arranged for people among the reporters at the time to block Wyatt and the others, ensuring I had the opportunity to get close to him.”
“And… let me think…”
Emma lowered her head dejectedly, recalling the situation without any emotion.
“Also, I deliberately knelt to apologize, to seek sympathy, and then angered Wyatt to let everyone see him losing control, because it seemed more reasonable for someone out of control to kill. What happened after that, everyone saw it in the video, just as it appeared in the video.”
“At that time, I really didn’t want to live anymore. I hadn’t expected Wyatt to be such a fool and grab the blade with his hand. I was quite shocked; his instinct was still to save me.” Emma let out a cold laugh.
Slightly pursing her lips, she lowered her head again, softly sobbing.
After adjusting her emotions, she slowly raised her head again, “The whole truth is here, I’ve said everything I needed to say. Are there any more questions?”
Reporter, “Just one last question.”
“From the start of the first plan until now, have you ever regretted it?”
Emma gave a bitter smile, “Yes.”
“But does regret help now?”
Emma closed her eyes and shook her head, tears quietly slipping from the corners of her eyes.
She sighed, “It doesn’t help, there’s no going back.”
Regret can’t help anymore.
Silence fell in the room.
All that remained was sighing.
Reaching this point, everyone felt she was both pitiable and a waste.
Emma, “No matter what, I still say, in the beginning, I really hadn’t intended to harm anyone. Reaching this point, I brought this upon myself… they must be watching, I still want to say to them, I’m sorry.”
Emma’s every word was recorded, Owen Winton was dizzy with rage, nearly fainting on the spot.
