Chapter 38: Gratitude and apology
Wu Yue hurriedly explained. "Y-Yes. He belonged to my Grandma mainly but after she passed away, I have been taking care of him."
"Mrs. Dai suffered an allergic reaction because of fur. Since you were seated directly opposite her, you were in close contact with her as much as Miss. Ma. It could be possible that there might have been some cat fur stuck on you which she inhaled if it got exposed in the air."
"W-wait!" Wu Yue exclaimed slightly loudly. "Are you blaming me for her death?"
Jia didn't mince her words. "Please lower your voice, Miss. Wu. This seemed to be an accident to me before, but you had a motive in harming Mrs. Dai. You were present in the theater and you have a pet whose fur might have potentially been a part to trigger her allergy. At this juncture, I cannot be sure of your intentions. It seems too much to pass it off as just a coincidence."
Wu Yue trembled hard. The color from her face was rapidly draining.
Just then from the other side of the corridor, she heard Mingshen's chirpy voice, "The cool grandma with cool eyesight is much better now all thanks to me~"
She parked this interrogation aside for now and said, "Come with me, Miss. Wu."
As they left, Yin Chin revealed herself from the corner and quickly walked up to her niece. "Why did she come here?"
"She got to know that Wu Yue and I met each other before. Now she thinks that Wu Yue has a motive. Shit. What should I do? I am already in detention! What if she thinks that we are together!"
She cautiously asked, "You didn't mention anything about my argument with that old bitch, right?"
"I didn't. But Aunt, you have to help me!"
