Rogue

Chapter 71

“Mr. Gallagher, don’t worry. If we’re exposed, we’ll take all the blame and won’t tell anyone about your someone said.

Edward shook his head and said, “Just tell the truth. Don’t hide it for my sake. I’m not much different from them now. I’m not a good person, and I deserve to be punished.”

They wanted to say something but stopped.

Finally, they didn’t say anything and drove away.

Edward walked to the storehouse door, sat on the grass, lit a cigarette, and looked up at the night sky.

After smoking, he turned on his phone, clicked on the text message icon, and entered a number.

Then, he typed a text message and sent it.

[Evangeline, this is Edward. I’ve done you wrong a lot, but after thinking it through, I don’t regret it. If I were given another chance, my choice would be the same as before. Ive always valued profit more than family. Since I accidentally saw your confrontation with Grandpa, I felt that you were not a good person. You’re even more cold–blooded than I am. It’s enough to have one cold–blooded person in the family. Having more will cause chaos in the family. It’s not that I can’t tell Meghan had set you up on purpose. Sometimes, I even helped her. But at first, I just wanted to kick you out of the Gallagher family. If you stay in our family, we’ll never have peace and will be doomed. Now, the outcome has proved that my guess was correct. Later on, I tried to kill you because I figured out that you wanted our family to go bankrupt and ruin us. To save the family’s business, I thought of getting rid of you. Unfortunately, I failed. However, I don’t feel any regret and am willing to admit defeat. I’m contacting you now to tell you that George and Meghan have gotten what they deserved. I don’t mean anything else. After sending this message, I’ll end myself and use my life to pay for the harm I’ve caused you. Only three people in the Gallagher family want to kill you. Mom, Jas, and Sam were just stupid and cold to you after being deceived. The retribution they have suffered now is enough to make up for your sufferings. I hope you won’t mess with them in the future.]

He sent a video together with the text message.

The video was of George and Meghan losing their limbs.

After sending the message, Edward took out a gun from his pocket,

Just then, the phone he had just put down rang ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

It was a message notification tone.

[Where is Meghan’s mother!]

Edward looked at the message seriously.

It was easy for Evangeline to find out where Meghan’s mother was, but she asked him about it unnecessarily. She certainly wasn’t seeking trouble without a valid reason.

He understood what she meant. Edward smiled and put the gun away.

“We are bound to go to hell anyway. It doesn’t matter if one more person dies. I’ll just think of it as a gift for her, he thought.

It was already ten o’clock at night.

• Evangeline was still awake.

She repeatedly watched the video that Edward had sent, her expression remaining impassive.

Looking at George’s and Meghan’s miserable faces, she was rather unfazed.

As for the text, she didn’t read it because it was too long.

She only remembered what had happened, not what others had said.

What one said may be against their will, but what one had done, even if unintentional, could cause actual harm

At about one o’clock at midnight, Evangeline received another text message.

She clicked on it and watched.

In the video, a mansion was burning.

A woman was locked inside, surrounded by flames.

After seeing that, Evangeline called the firefighters immediately.

“Hello, there’s an arson, but I don’t know the specific location. I have a video and can send it to you for investigation,” she reported.

Evangeline added a fireman on WhatsApp and sent him the video.

The fire department contacted the police to locate the place.

It took them an hour to reach the scene after discovering the location.

Subsequently, it took the firemen two hours to extinguish the fire.

The people in the mansion were burned to death, and there was no chance of resurrecting them.

The police also found a body of an adult male outside the mansion

It was Edward, who was on the run.

He had shot himself in the head.

As it was Evangeline who called the police and provided the video of the fire, she was summoned to the station to cooperate with the investigation Evangeline went to the police station the following day.

When she arrived at the police station, Samson and Bethany were there.

Bethany almost fainted from crying.

Evangeline just glanced at them indifferently and followed the policeman into the interrogation room to record her statement.

After the policeman completed the basic identity check, he asked. “The fire department said that you reported the fire last night and provided them with a video of the scene. How did you get the video?”

Evangeline answered truthfully, “Edward sent it to me.”

The policeman said, ‘Give me your phone.”

Evangeline took our her phone obediently and opened the text message. She was quite cooperative.

The policeman watched the video of the fire and then read the text message.

After seeing the video of George and Meghan, the policeman’s face changed dramatically.

The policeman questioned Evangeline solemnly. “Edward also sent you another video of a murder, Why didn’t you call the police?”

Evangeline said, “At first, I didn’t watch that video. Then, he sent me another one, and I clicked on it. But because I thought the fire was more

serious, I called the fire department first. After that, I forgot about the previous video”

The policeman’s expression was grim.

Evangeline ülted her head and asked innocently, “Is it illegal not to call the police?”

The policeman twitched his lips and replied, “It’s not a crime”

In such a case, he couldn’t hold her accountable.

She wasn’t at the scene, so she had no obligation to help.

At best, people would only condemn her conscience.

The policeman sent the video to his colleagues and asked them to investigate the location in the video.

Then, the policeman continued to ask Evangeline seriously, “Did you deliberately not call the police leading Edward to kill the housekeeper whe

swapped lives with you?”

Evangeline said, “All the conversation between me and Edward is in the text messages. Which part does it seem to you that I was trying to induce him?”

The policeman was speechless.

Finally, Evangeline finished her statement and was dismissed

Evangeline walked out of the police station and was about to leave when Bethany’s crying voice came from behind. “Evangeline“”

Evangeline stopped and looked at Bethany Mrs Gallagher, what’s the matter

Bethany’s heart clenched and more rears poured down her cheeks

Mrs Gallagher She doesn’t even want to call me Mom anymore. Hese could ab daughter” she exclaimed inwardly.

Seeing Bethany being emotional, Samion spoke for her. Triangeline. Pililia vent do so. Why didn’t you persuade him? Why didn’t you tell nett!

[I can’t believe Edward is dead. It feels almost like a dream I saw him show up ten days ago 1

[I don’t know why, but when I heard d the news of his death,

[Wake up, people. Don’t feel sorry for a murderer He killed Pamela and sabotaged Evangeline several times. He deserved it!

II heard from my relatives who work at a police station that Edward burned someone to death before ending his life last night…

[Damn it. He even tried to pull someone down with him before dying. He certainly deserves in die

[This is quite unexpected. Not long ago, the Callagher Group is still a well–known enterprise in Hofcaster, and the Gallagher family is also one of the richest families in Hofcaster. However, less than a month later, they are on the verge of bankruptcy…]

[What do you mean they are about to go bankrupt? They already are. I heard that Gallagher Group is restructuring now, and they will change their enterprise name soon.]

[It’s quite sad…]

[This is the Gallagher family’s karma. If you do something terrible, you should pay for it!)

[The Gallagher family has managed to convince me that what comes around goes around, which also gives me a little hope as a powerless and incompetent person from the bottom class of society. When one encounters unfairness, one can at least hope the other party gets what they deserve.l

[Congratulations to Evangeline! She finally got her revenge!

wanna see her!]

[Please stop taking a break, Evangeline. Hurry up and join a show. Even if you don’t, you can also do a livestream!]

[Ahhh! It’s another day of missing Evangeline so badly again! I have watched the recorded Jungle Survival more than ten times, but I still can’t get enough of it!

At first, the netizens were still talking about Edward.

However, they started asking Evangeline to join a show.

At this moment, someone posted a screenshot on Twitter, and it became trending instantly.

The hashtag wrote: [Evangeline is joining Xtreme Survival.

Another read: [Xtreme Survival has officially announced the list of contestants.]

[Damn it! Is this true? I can’t be fake news, right? I can’t believe Evangeline is going to participate in the new season of Xtreme Survival’s livestream!

[I also suspect that this is fake. Is it because they think we don’t know how to use VPN and purposely edited the screenshot to trick us?]

[You’re right. It must be fake. How could Evangeline participate in that disgusting show!]

[Although Evangeline is competent, there is still a big gap between her and the contestants in Xtreme Survival. Those contestants are genuinely talented. Crawling and climbing trees in darkness doesn’t mean she’s better than them.]

[I just checked it on another foreign platform. The news is true. It’s the official list published on Xtreme Survival’s official page!!

[Ahhh! Why would Evangeline do such a thing? Evangeline, please don’t participate, or you’ll suffer badly!]

[Alas, I can already unagine how miserable Evangeline will end up.)

[Evangeline is really overestimating herself. I can’t believe she is participating in Xtreme Survival. It’s her problem if she has a death wish, but don’t embarrass Clusia!)

If she joins the show, we’ll be humiliated and mocked by other countries..

I didn’t expect Evangeline to be so full of herself. Now I have a terrible impression of her!]

It’s so disgusting…]
