Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 259 Nancy’s Phone

Mary touched her chest and took out her phone. “Ms. Easton, I can tell you.”

She sat in the living room. The moon was high up in the starry sky outside.

Ainsley and Matteo sat on the other side and listened carefully.

“After I left the police station on the day my daughter died, I met her in the doorway of my home. She said she would help me get justice and taught me what to do. In fact, I saw her on the 20th floor that day, but I didn’t tell anyone… She came not long after you left. I didn’t know who she was, but I knew she was dressed well and looked good. One piece of her clothes can cover our living expenses

for years.”

Mary smiled with self–mockery and continued, “I couldn’t help but confront her. She told me not to think about this anymore. She asked me to accuse you of killing my daughter. She even gave me 160 thousand dollars to make me agree.”

“So this is why you refused to reply to me later? Just for 160 thousand dollars?” Ainsley narrowed her eyes slightly.

Mary nodded. “You are rich and never have to worry about money. 160 thousand dollars isn’t worth

know much to you, and you might spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a sports car. Do you what 160 thousand dollars means to ordinary people like us? I won’t have to work from dawn to dusk and worry about money. I won’t hesitate to send my child to the hospital if he gets sick, nor will I have to live in a house that might collapse at any time. The money can bring a good life to me and my son. Why shouldn’t I agree?”

Even if Nancy did not die, she might not be able to earn 160 thousand dollars by working hard for

decades.

Ainsley understood it, and Matteo did not say anything.

Ainsley saw tears falling from the corners of Mary’s eyes. No matter whether Mary did it for the money or not, at least she made the right choice.

“I can tell you

that the money can give you and your son a good life, but Nancy can’t rest in peace. Doesn’t your conscience prick you, Mrs. Conway?” Ainsley asked slowly.

Mary subconsciously looked at the photo of Nancy on the table. Nancy seemed to smile at her, and

her heart trembled.

“That’s why I asked you to come here.”

Pondering for a moment, Mary finally took something from behind her and handed it to Ainsley.

“This is Nancy’s phone. Perhaps there are clues inside. I’m not a good mother. I’ve decided to take my son back to my hometown tomorrow.”

Matteo glanced at Ainsley and then said, “Don’t go yet. I will send someone to keep an eye on this place and protect you. Before things are settled, you’d better stay here.”

Mary looked at them doubtfully, but in the end, she nodded.

Matteo and Ainsley went out of the dilapidated house with grave eyes.

After getting into the car, Ainsley told Matteo all the information she had gathered and things she had seen in Mary’s house in the past two days.

“I’m sure it was Irene.”

“In this case, it’s not easy to deal with her,” Matteo said solemnly.

Ainsley handed the phone to him. “Matteo, I look to you to get the information from the phone. It can’t crack the password.”

There was a hint of caution in her eyes. They had been confused by different questions, and they finally got the key to the answers.

If they could crack the phone password, they could find some clues.

Early in the morning, Matteo finally got off work and brought the unlocked phone.

Ainsley and Matteo sat together and turned on Nancy’s phone.

Late at night, Nancy opened Line.

“Did you go?”

Nancy replied nervously: “Not yet.”

“You only have two days left. If you don’t go, you will regret it.”

Nancy texted with trembling fingers: “Don’t! I beg you. I will go. I will go tomorrow.”

“I will wait for your message.”

The next day after the short conversation, Nancy went to the Psychological Counseling Room where

Ainsley worked.

As expected, Nancy received a text from the mysterious person after she got home: “Very good. I know

you went there today. When will you die?”

“I don’t want to die. There are still many things I want to do. Besides, AIDS doesn’t kill me immediately. I

heard that the country would give free medicine for treatment. I am not completely hopeless, right?”

Nancy looked at the phone with expectation.

“I don’t care what you think now. Since you have made an agreement with me, please follow it.

Otherwise, I will help you do it. By the way, do you really think that the people around you will treat

you the same after knowing about it?”

Before Nancy knew how to reply, she received another text that read: “I advise you not to dream about it.

After getting this disease, do you still want a chance to start anew? If you really want to do the

experiment, why don’t you start with the person closest to you? How about letting your mother see your

medical record accidentally so we can see if she will give you a chance to start anew?”

Nancy turned to look at her mother, who was watching TV, and texted forcefully: “Okay.”

As Ainsley read the texts, she took a deep breath.

It turned out that Nancy purposefully let her mother see her medical record and medicine because she

wanted to do an experiment.

Ainsley knew what happened next. Nancy failed. When Mary knew Nancy had contracted AIDS, she

chose to ask the latter to stay away from her immediately. Her disdainful look was the first blow to break

Nancy’s defense line.

Right after Mary went out to buy groceries, the mysterious person texted again mockingly.

“Hehe, did you see that? I told you long ago. You’re too stubborn. Even your mother can’t accept

You are hopeless since you got this disease. Why don’t you kill yourself? Your mother and brother will

get good compensation. It’s more worthwhile than staying alive.”

you.

At this point, Nancy was still hesitant. She texted: “But I…”

“Don’t worry. Nancy, you have delayed this for too long. I don’t have the patience to wait for you.”

When Nancy was texting with her trembling fingers, there was a knock on the door before she sent

the last text. Right after that, she received a text: “Open the door.”

At this point, Ainsley could determine that the first w

At this point, Ainsley could determine that the first woman took Nancy to the rooftop.

“This woman forced Nancy to commit suicide.” Matteo’s face was livid.

“It’s Irene,” Ainsley said confidently.

“Mr. Gage responded to Ms. Gage’s incidence of her illness at the gate of the University of Washington.”
