ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Seaaon 13 Episode 49

Sheryl hadn’t returned yet. She was probably still in the hospital. Was she waiting for Leila to wake up?

Sheryl and Nancy were the only two that knew about Leila was being poisoned. ‘I must do something to make others believe Sheryl poisoned Leila!’ Melissa thought.

A streak of gloom flashed through her eyes but soon disappeared.

She thought about the situation for a moment and immediately got out her cellphone to make a call.

The person on the other end of the line simply asked her, “Mrs. Taylor, how can I help you this time? What would you like to report now?”

“A family scandal,” Melissa said these two words at ease. She was way too calm to be taken seriously.

“A family scandal, Mrs. Taylor? Did I hear correctly?”

“Oh, enough with the unnecessary questions. Listen, what I’m going to tell you right now is important…” Melissa opened her mouth. She paused for a second and then slowly explained her plans.

The man on the other end of the line listened patiently. As he waited for her to finish her story, a spur of excitement appeared on his face. Raising his eyebrows several times, he replied, “Okay, well, this is definitely big news. Thank you for sharing your ‘family scandal,’ Mrs. Taylor.”

“Just keep your mouth shut. Remember, you never heard it from me. If you do, you’ll suffer the consequences,” Melissa said coldly.

“Yes, of course. I am aware.”

At the police station After careful consideration, Holley finally made the decision to confess her guilt. She had it in her mind that Rachel wouldn’t let her down.

As Rachel kept defending herself, Holley’s voice suddenly came out.

“It was I who accidentally killed Lance. It was all my fault and not Rachel’s! She had nothing to do with it.”

Upon hearing this, both Rachel and the police were shocked. Holley’s voice was so loud that her confession echoed in the interrogation room.

Rachel stared at Holley in confusion. At this point, she felt strange, as though she had become a complete stranger to her.

There was a warm flutter in her chest that left Rachel speechless. Suddenly, tears filled her eyes.

She never expected Holley to take the blame for Lance’s death.

She thought they were always at odds with each other, but she was surprised that Holley took all the blame on her.

“Holley, you…” Rachel was crying and at that moment, unable to speak.

Holley looked at Rachael in the eye. She only hoped that Rachel could find out the real murderer.

She had a lot of doubts about Rachel, but she had no other choice right now.

The only thing she could do was hope for the best.

“Ms. Turner, you go back first. I believe that the truth will come out one day, and that we can get together again,” Holley said firmly.

Actually, she had guessed who the real murderer was. Once

Rachel was out, all she needed to do was investigate Lance’s wife. Then the truth would come out. She believed she would soon be released after the murderer was caught. Rachel immediately understood what Holley meant. However, she was uncertain about how to get to the bottom of the truth. She had no idea what to do next.

Even though Rachel was unaware of what to do, she could see that Holley needed her commitment.

Under Holley’s intense gaze, Rachel hesitated and said, “Holley, you can rest assured. I’ll find a way to fix this.”

“I believe you, Ms. Turner.

At that moment, even the policeman admired Holley for confessing to the murder.

He was used to people fighting against each other in the police station to pass the blame on to others. Never before had they ever come across a voluntary confessor like Holley.

Both Holley and the police listened to Rachel, who was sobbing, as though she had depleted all of her strength to restrain herself.

Her crying was light yet very touching.

After five minutes, Rachel raised her head to face Holley. With her teary face, she looked rather pitiful at this moment.

Rachel was taken to another room for more questioning. “So, Holley admitted to killing the victim. Since you were present at the time, we need you to describe the scene to us.”

“Well, I was thinking about how to negotiate with Mr. Morrison about the business. I was completely unaware that there was a conflict between them. Perhaps Holley killed Mr. Morrison accidentally.”

Once the police realized that Rachel was unable to provide them with valuable information, they had to let her go.

Holley was then temporarily imprisoned as she had to wait a few days before being sentenced. As for Rachel, she was free to continue her normal life.

After leaving the police station, Rachel wandered in the streets in a daze. She felt confused and scared.

She recalled the day when she first saw Holley. At that time, Holley had just broken up with her ex. She was very arrogant back then.

They always bickered about something or other and tried to hurt each other with the meanest words. Seeing each other’s embarrassment some how made them happy.

Sometimes, Holley really annoyed Rachel. However, whenever she felt the helpless, Holley was still there to support her. This time, there was no exception.

She stopped thinking of her memories with Holley. She didn’t want to think too much, nor did she know how to save Holley. She decided to go home to take a nap.

She hoped that things would be better when she woke up. However, this wasn’t a realistic thought, given the circumstances.

Nevertheless, she still remained hopeful that she’d be able to come to a conclusion and perhaps even find a solution the next day.

Rachel returned home. She felt exhausted. She threw herself onto the bed, and dozed off immediately.

But soon she had a nightmare.

In Rachel’s dream, she could see the cold walls of the prison cell and the images of handcuffs on her hands.

Waking up in the middle of the night, she found herself breaking out in a cold sweat.

Maybe she didn’t trust Holley that much. She was worried that Holley would regret her decision and betray her. Rachel got out of bed. She felt extremely uneasy and started to pack her luggage, as though doing these trivial things could set her mind at ease and comfort her. She felt like the best thing for her to do would be to run away. As for Holley…

At that moment, all she wanted to do was forget about Holley. She admitted to herself that her thoughts were mean, but what could she possibly do?

On the other hand, Holley was at the police station. Lying down, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She felt extremely upset as she recalled whether or not placing her life in Rachel’s hands, was a good idea.

She acknowledged just how indifferent and irresponsible Rachel actually was.

She was scared that Rachel’s promise was on the spur of the moment. She was even more afraid that Rachel would leave this country.

Actually, she did know Rachel well. Perhaps it was because they were similar. They somehow always managed to perceive each other accurately.

The next day, before sunrise, Rachel arrived at the airport. She booked a ticket to fly abroad.

She seemed restless and tense, as though she was running from something.

Approaching the security corridor, Rachel saw a group of people patrolling the airport in armed police uniforms.

Even though she tried to calm herself down, Rachel fled with a guilty conscience as soon as she realized them walking her way.

In her empty house, Rachel sat in the middle of the living room and immediately burst into tears.

She wanted to evaporate all of her grievances, fears and guilt for Holley through crying.

Did it really make sense to escape like this and live like a rat in a sewer all her life?

Was this really the life she wanted for herself?.
