Chapter 364: Chapter 364: The Perfect Public Relations
It’s Anne Linden!
"The one who wanted to kill Dylan Quinn was me, it has nothing to do with Nina."
Anne Linden came in, calmly admitting to the matter.
Sebastian Blackwood’s eyes narrowed deeply. He knew Anne Linden, Nina Shaw’s biological mother, and in this situation of confessing, she bore a heavy suspicion of taking the blame.
However—"Evidence has already proven that it was indeed Anne Linden who hired a killer."
The transaction records and motive for murder were all there.
Anne Linden said, "Nina is my daughter. As a mother, I know she most wants to marry Master Blackwood. I have been a completely unqualified mother, not having her by my side growing up, I always feel I’ve let her down."
"A while ago, I inadvertently learned that she was being coerced by Dylan Quinn, Dylan threatened her into having relations with him. Considering her marriage to Master Blackwood was known by everyone, I was worried Dylan would use this to threaten Nina afterwards, so I developed a murderous intention."
"I want to give my daughter a future without worries. Now I only regret not finding someone more capable, not dealing with Dylan Quinn thoroughly, and letting my Nina suffer such disgrace on this crucial day!"
At the end of the sentence, Anne Linden both laughed and cried, looking completely mad.
Julian Hawthorne frowned with disdain: "I knew it, Nina couldn’t possibly have hired someone to kill. Turns out, it was you, this old witch, causing trouble behind the scenes!"
"Let my Nina go, my Nina is innocent. Whatever you want to do, come at me instead!"
Anne Linden, however, rushed madly towards the interrogation room, yelling and screaming like she had gone insane.
The comrades at the police station immediately took action and detained her.
Nina Shaw heard the commotion over there. After comparing the evidence, her suspicion was basically cleared.
Private affairs with lovers aren’t managed by the police. Half an hour later, Nina Shaw was released without charges.
"Nina... Nina..."
The moment she stepped out, Anne Linden wanted to rush toward her.
Nina Shaw frowned impatiently, why did this Anne Linden come over?
But soon, she heard people around saying Anne Linden came to confess, and immediately, Nina Shaw understood.
This Anne Linden was finally serving a purpose!
"Aunt Anne, how could you do such a thing? This is illegal."
Nina Shaw’s tears came easily, speaking with grievance and heartache.
Anne Linden shook her head: "Nina, you are your mother’s daughter. As long as it’s for your good, your mother can do anything..."
Not long after, the official result was released through the media.
[After comparing evidence, Nina Shaw does not have the suspicion of hiring a killer, the mastermind was Anne Linden, Nina Shaw’s biological mother. Due to Dylan Quinn repeatedly threatening Nina with money matters, her mother harbored anger and thus developed murderous intentions.]
Soon after this result was released, Nina Shaw also sent out a message: [I apologize to everyone, today was supposed to be the grand wedding ceremony between Brother Sebastian and me, but all of this has been messed up by these events. I am very pained and very sorry.]
[Four years ago, while recovering abroad, I was mentally and physically weak, missing Brother Sebastian greatly, and upon seeing Dylan Quinn, who bore a resemblance to Brother Sebastian, I lost myself.]
[But later, Dylan Quinn repeatedly used this matter to threaten me and extorted money from me multiple times. I was scared and had no choice but to accept his conditions, leading to harm to myself! Now I sincerely repent. Although Anne Linden is my mother, she committed a crime. Everything will follow the law’s demands; whatever the law requires for handling, that’s the result.]
[Additionally, I donate fifty million in the name of the education council to impoverished mountain areas nationwide, all for the free assistance of dropout children, hoping these children grow up happily!]
There’s no denying that this was a perfectly executed public relations play!
Reason and emotion were both laid out, summarizing what she did with the word "forced," she then genuinely admitted the wrongdoing and cooperated with the official work. Finally, the large sum donation cemented Nina Shaw’s benevolent image completely!
At this moment.
A man stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, read Nina Shaw’s message to the end, and a satisfied smile appeared at his lips.
"Ha, not a fool after all, still holds some use."
He originally planned to abandon Nina Shaw as a chess piece.
