Chapter 31 I Killed Someone
She looked at me and continued, “That car was driven away by the Conner Group’s CFO Ryan Clayton
five days ago and hasn’t been sent back so far, has it?”
I didn’t know so much about the itinerary of a car. I gasped slightly, “How did you know there was a
body in the trunk of that car?”
The sun shone, but her look was cold and oppressive, which made me feel cold unconsciously. After a
long time, she leisurely said, “I killed someone.”
I was almost scared back, but I had seen more amazing things than this. I calmed down. I looked at her
and said, “Did you kill someone? The body was hidden in the trunk of the Conner Group’s public car?”
She nodded and probably saw someone passing by. Frowning, she said, “That car is now parked in
Downers Valley. If you don’t believe me, you can go and see it with me.
I had a headache and frowned. “Why did you come to me?” Normal people would turn themselves in to
the police, or pack up their things and run away, but she came to me.
She looked at me with glazed eyes. “I wasn’t coming to you. I came to see your father. I’ve been here a This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
few times. He’s been in treatment all the time, and most of the time he’s not awake, so I came to see
you.”
“See my father?”
She nodded. “You probably think I killed someone and should turn » myself in or run away, but I don’t
want to do this yet. I haven’t finished
my work yet. I know I’m going to die. I’m sure I’m going to die. Before I

die, I want people to know why I killed someone. At least, let me die innocently.”
Looking at her slightly pale face, I gasped and said, “The police will clear your name.”
“No!” She suddenly raised her voice and looked at me with scarlet eyes. “Even if the police know, they
will not tell the public, but you can. You are the successor of the Conner Group. You can.”
After talking to her so much, I still don’t know why she came to me. I knew in my heart that if I kept
talking along her train of thought, I would only become a vent for her emotions.
After a moment of silence, I looked at her and said, “Who did you kill?”
“Ryan,” She looked at me, and stressed, “The Conner Group’s CFO Ryan Clayton.”
My brain was in a mess, and for a moment I was full of doubts, hesitating to find a way to call the
police. She didn’t seem to be lying.
She looked at me, staring at me motionless and said, “Ms. Conner, can you find a place to sit with
me?”
I wanted to refuse, but this matter involved the Conner Group, and the CFO was killed. No matter what
the reason, the discussion wast enough to make Song fall into a big storm. Now that my father is still in
the hospital, Song has a lot of things to say. If something happens, Song will lose a lot of money.
Probably considering my concerns, she looked at me and said, “Don’t worry. I’m not a crazy killer. I just
want to talk to you. I want you to hear my story, okay?”
After a moment of hesitation, I nodded to see what she wanted to say

to me. “There’s a coffee shop opposite the mall. Let’s go there and have a talk?”
She nodded and agreed.
I chose the coffee shop in the shopping mall. On the one hand, there were many people and strict
security in the shopping mall. On the other hand, there was an army base next to the shopping mall. If
she really had any ill intentions about me, I would have a better chance of getting out safely.
In the coffee shop, I handed her the menu. She shook her head and- said to the waiter, “Just a glass of
boiled water, thank you.
Seeing this, I ordered a cup of coffee casually, looked at her, and said, “Are you Ryan’s friend, or…”
She was somewhat attractive. Her eyes were very charming. She might be older than me, and she was
very feminine. Middle-aged men would like a woman like her.
Such a woman messed with a CFO and even killed him. I could only think that she killed her for love.
“Wife!” She opened her mouth, looked at me, and said, “I’m his wife, legally.”
A wife killed her husband?
I frowned slightly, looked at her, and said, “Did he do something wrong?”
She nodded and had a sad look. “He destroyed my family. Over the past ten years, I have worked hard
to make money. We have no children. I think we can save more money and live a better life when we
are old. A year ago, he said that the Conner Group had invested in a new project with good prospects.
Senior employees of the company could buy shares in the project and become shareholders in the
project. He was very optimistic. He asked me to give him all the money I had

saved over the years. As long as this project is up, we will earn enough pension money.”
I paused. “Did you give him the money?”
She looked a little sad. “At first I thought it was too risky and worried. that he would cheat me, so I
checked the project privately, but the reputation of this project turned out to be really good, and now it’s
up.”
“Bright Media?” I remembered it was invested by the Conner Group a
year ago.
She nodded. “Yes, that’s the project.”
