BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1098 The Confession
Three days later
As she agreed, Evelyn arrived at the cemetery. Felix insisted on coming along, so the two made their way to Melody\'s gravesite.
She hadn\'t been here since Napier tried to rape her in her apartment. She was ashamed and scared of upsetting Melody.
It had been nearly three years. The tombstone was still clean, but she couldn\'t see Napier. The house he lived in looked abandoned.
Standing in front of the tomb, staring at Melody\'s photo, Evelyn had mixed feelings.
\'Melody, please be strong in your next life.\'
A few minutes of quiet contemplation later, she asked Felix to place the briefcases of cash at the spot where Napier used to sit.
Just then, a man in a denim coat holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums came out of nowhere. It seemed that he also wanted to pay his respects to the dead. When he walked past Evelyn, he suddenly changed directions and charged at her.
But Felix had been watching her like a hawk. Before the man could pounce on Evelyn, the bodyguard stepped between them.
The man moved quickly and hit Felix with an axe kick. It caught the bodyguard by surprise, and he fell to his knees.
Felix pushed through the pain and got up quickly to rejoin the fray.
Nearby, several snipers took the safeties off their weapons, and began sighting through their scopes. They all were hoping to get a clear shot at Evelyn\'s mysterious attacker.
But the attacker also had a gun. He called out in a loud voice meant to carry his words to all concerned, "I\'ll count to three. I want everyone gone except me and Evelyn. Stay, and she dies."
Evelyn looked at the man but she didn\'t recognize him. But that voice... It was strange. He didn\'t look like Napier, but the voice was unmistakable. "Napier?" she asked.
With a weird smile, he answered, "Yes, it\'s me."
He had undergone plastic surgery to change his appea
hat\'s none of my business!" Napier said impatiently.
"Okay. Then let me ask you another question. Why did Evander quit his job? He had an easy position at the Huo manor."
Napier sneered, "You really did your research. You even know about Evander!"
"Of course, because I found the transfer order online!" An expert in computers, Sheffield was able to track down everything done on the Internet.
Evelyn looked at him in shock. \'Did Evander have something to do with Napier too?\' She never knew.
"He saw me in Keegan Guan\'s car. That night, I killed Keegan. In order to stop Evander from turning me in, I threatened the lives of his wife and son, and then he left the Huo family."
So that explained it.
Keegan Guan was Evelyn\'s third ex-boyfriend, a prosecutor. He was killed on his way home after dropping her off at the Huo manor.
"Chief Tao told everybody his name is Neale, but his real name is Penley Tao. After he killed his twin brother, he assumed his identity. He\'s been living a lie for 19 years. And of course I know you\'re his nephew. After you committed those crimes, he buried the evidence. Then, he told the victims\' families and the Huo family that nothing could be done. He also manufactured evidence to mislead everyone." Carlos trusted Penley. Maybe too much. So he had never figured out that Napier was the murderer.
