Chapter 301: Taking Advantage
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
That night, Ruby and Susan got along well.
Susan knew nothing about this plan, so all her actions were real. She really thought that she and Ruby could continue to get along well.
After Ruby entered the room, Susan went in as if she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ruby. During this time, Susan wanted to pat Ruby’s head and hug her shoulders, but Ruby avoided Susan with a look of resistance.
Ruby’s attitude toward Susan was the same as before, except that there was less fear this time.
Lauren wondered if the fear that Ruby showed in front of them before was all an act on her part.
She was so innocent at that time. She just wanted to help Ruby.
Lauren shook her head.
At that time, Ruby also deliberately revealed to Lauren the chocolate cake incident, and she also “accidentally” showed her wound to Lauren.
Everything seemed so unintentional, but maybe this was all part of Ruby’s plan.
Ruby may have taken advantage of Lauren’s innocence and enthusiasm to achieve her goals.
At ten o’clock in the evening, the lights in Ruby’s room had been turned off, and Ruby was already lying in bed, as if asleep.
The policeman looked at Lauren and Franklin. “Does this method really work? The two of them seem to get along quite well.”
“No, it will definitely work!”
Lauren had already sorted out the whole matter. She had also identified the points that she had found strange in the past.
As they did not want to miss any scenes, Lauren and Franklin did not go home that night.
After staying up until midnight, Lauren could not stay up any longer. She lay on Franklin’s shoulder and fell asleep.
The next day was a school day. At 6:30 in the morning, movement could be heard from Ruby’s room.
So it was true that Ruby woke up naturally at half-past six.
When Lauren was shaken awake by Franklin, she couldn’t help but admire humans who can get up so early.
Lauren didn’t wait for long this morning. The scene she had been waiting for appeared.
Ruby sat in front of the desk. She held a knife in her right hand and rolled up the sleeve of her shirt with her left hand.
Lauren stared at the monitor. The surrounding police officers also widened their eyes as they watched Ruby doing something unbelievable.
Ruby was very ruthless when she injured herself. She picked up the knife and slashed her arm. The cut was not deep, but from the surveillance footage, it could be seen that she was bleeding.
“Officer, is this enough evidence?”
The policeman nodded. “Enough.”
Then they rushed into Ruby’s house and stopped her in her room.
When Susan, who was following the police into Ruby’s room in a hurry, saw Ruby with a knife in her right hand and blood oozing out of her left arm, she quickly ran over and took the knife from Ruby’s right hand.
“Ruby, what...what are you doing?!”
Lauren and Franklin followed closely behind. This was the first time Lauren saw Ruby reveal such an astonished expression.
The police moved very quickly and immediately brought Susan and Ruby to the police station.
“Lauren, please come along.”
The police officer glanced at Franklin. Franklin nodded and said, “Yes, let’s go together as well. Lauren is probably more aware of this matter than any of you.”
Lauren was one step behind the police when they took them away.
She went to Ruby’s desk and picked up what she had written yesterday.
Lauren thought that Ruby had a strange look on her face when she wrote this.
It was a suicide note.
In this suicide note, she was accusing Susan with every single word and sentence.
The content was mainly about how Susan, as a mother, had abused her all day long, and she could not take it anymore, hence she decided to commit suicide.
Lauren’s eyes widened when she saw the suicide note. She did not expect Ruby to have such a plan.
Or rather, she did not expect Greta to have such a plan.
Greta was already dead, but she wanted to harm Ruby and use Ruby’s death to frame Susan.
No wonder Ruby was so calm last night. She had already made her final preparations.
She was going to die anyway, so what was there to be afraid of?
Lauren stared at the suicide note for a long time before she folded it and put it into her pocket. She followed Franklin to the police station.
The person being interrogated this time was Ruby.
Even the police officer noticed something was wrong. “This little girl is only five or six years old. Why doesn’t she look scared at all?”
“That’s right. She’s only five or six years old. Can we get any useful information from her?”
Another slightly older policeman knocked on the two young policemen’s heads.
“Of course, you can.. This five or six-year-old child already has her own thoughts, and she even knew to use a knife to cut herself and frame her own mother. Not only does this child have her own thoughts, but her thoughts are also too scary!”
