NovelAppChapter 71
“Don’t worry, Mr. Galley. If we are discovered, we will take all the blame. We won’t let you out!” Someone said.
“Just tell me the truth,” Roman shook his head. “There’s no need to hide it for me.”
“Right now, I am not much different from them.”
“I am not a good person. I deserve to be punished.”
They hesitated.
In the end, they said nothing and drove away.
Roman walked to the warehouse door, sat on the grass, lit a cigarette, and gazed up at the night sky.
After he had finished smoking, he opened his phone, accessed his mailbox, and typed in a string of numbers.
Then he edited a text message and sent it out.
[Brielle, I’m Roman. I’ve done a lot of things that have let you down, but I’ve thought it through carefully and I don’t regret it.
Should another chance be given to me, my decision would still be the same as before.]
[All along, compared to family, I value benefits more.]
[Ever since I inadvertently witnessed you and grandfather confronting each other, I sensed that you were not a good person,
even more cold-blooded than me. It is enough for one family to have a cold-blooded individual; having more would make the
house restless.
[I could see clearly that Pearl was deliberately framing you, and at times I even assisted her.]
[But in the beginning, I just wanted to drive you out of the Galley family.
[If you remain in the Galley family, you will cause us unease and bring us eternal da mnation.]
[The result now proves that my guess is correct.]
[In order to protect the Galley family’s foundation, I later wanted to take your life, as I could see that you were intent on bringing
about our bankruptcy and destroying our family.]
[Unfortunately, I failed.]
[I also don’t feel regret. I am willing to accept the bet.]
[I have no other purpose in contacting you now other than to inform you that Brooks and Pearl have already been punished. After
sending this message, I will take my own life as a way of repaying the harm I have caused you.]
[Galley family only has the three of us who want to kill you. Mom and second brother, third brother, are just st upid. After being
deceived, they are just a little indifferent to you. The retribution they have suffered now is enough to make up for the harm they
have done to you. I hope that you will not find trouble with them again in the future.]
He chose a video from the album.
He sent it along with the message.
That video was one in which Brooks and Pearl had both lost their hands and feet.
After sending the message, Roman took out a gun from his pocket.
At this moment, the phone he had just put down rang.
It was the notification sound of the message.
[Where is Pearl’s mother?]
Roman looked at the text message.
It was easy for Brielle to find out where l’earl’s mother was, but she still asked him. She was definitely with a purpose.
He understood what she meant....
Roman smiled and put the gun away.
He was destined to die and go to hell, so it made no difference if someone else perished.
He preferred to just treat it as a gift for her...
It was already ten o’clock at night.
Brielle was still awake.
She expressionlessly watched the video that Roman had sent over.
Looking at the miserable state of Brooks and Pearl, she didn’t have much of a reaction.
As for the text.
It was too long.
She had no interest in what they said..
Around one in the morning. Brielle received another message.
This time, there was only one video.
She checked it out.
In the video, a villa was ablaze.
A woman in the villa was locked inside and was wrapped in flames.
After Brielle had finished reading it, she immediately phoned the fire department.
“Greetings, a fire has been set, but I’m unaware of the whereabouts of the property. I have a video in my possession, and I can
send it to you for further inspection.”
Brielle added a fire officer on WhatsApp and sent the video.
The fire officer contacted the police to help check the location.
By the time they found the location and rushed over, it was already an hour later.
The firefighters threw themselves into the fire for two hours before putting it out.
The people in the villa had been burned to death, and there was no way to save them.
The police found the corpse of an adult male outside the villa.
li was Roman, who had been at large!
He had killed himself with a headshot.
Because it was Brielle who had called the police and she had provided a fire video, she was called to the police station to
cooperate with the investigation.
Brielle only went to the police station the next morning.
When she arrived at the police station, Jordan and Sarah were also there.
Sarah cried until she fainted several times.
Jordan’s eyes were also red.
When Brielle saw them, she only glanced at them indifferently and followed the police into the interrogation room to record the
statement.
After completing the basic identity check, the police officer inquired, “They said you phoned the fire department last night and
gave them a video of the fire. How did you come by that video?”
Brielle answered truthfully, “It was Roman who sent it to me.”
The policeman said, “Show me your phone.”
Brielle honestly took out her phone and opened the text message. She was very cooperative.
The policeman glanced at the fire video and then looked at the text message on the top.
When he saw the video of Brooks and Pearl, the policeman’s face changed.
The policeman asked Brielle seriously, “Roman sent you another video of criminal activity. Why didn’t you alert the authorities?”
Brielle said, “At first, I didn’t watch that video. Later, he sent me another video. I opened it, but because I thought the fire was
more serious, I called the fire police first. After that, I forgot the earlier one on it.”
The police officer’s face was very ugly.
#
Brielle tilted her head and asked innocently, “Is it illegal not to call the police?”
N
*
“It’s not against the law,” the policeman said, moving his lips.
In her situation, it was even more impossible to blame her.
She was not at the scene and had no obligation to help.
At most, she would suffer moral condemnation.
The policeman sent the video to his colleague and asked them to investigate the location of the video.
Then the policeman continued to ask Brielle seriously, “Did you deliberately not call the police and lure Roman to help you kill the
nanny who exchanged your life?” .
Brielle said, “All the communication between Roman and me is on my phone. Check it properly. What made you think that way?”
The policeman was speechless.
In the end, Brielle finished her statement and was released.
Brielle walked out of the police station and was about to leave when Sarah’s tearful voice came from behind her, “Brielle!”
Brielle stopped and looked at Sarah. “Ms. Lark, what’s the matter?”
Ms. Lark...
So Brielle was even not willing to call her mom anymore?
She actually used such a strange way of addressing her.
Had she completely lost this daughter?
Seeing that Sarah was agitated, Jordan spoke on her behalf, “Brielle, Roman sent you a text before he committed suicide. He
told you that he wanted to commit suicide. Why didn’t you dissuade him? Why didn’t you inform us?”
Brielle mocked, “It has nothing to do with me.
“In addition, I like to hear about his death.”
“You are too cold-blooded...” Jordan shook his head in disappointment.
Brielle ignored them and turned to leave.
Ocean City quickly announced the news of Roman committing suicide on Twitter.
The news of Brooks and Pearl being abused was not made public, due to two reasons.
Firstly, they had not found them yet.
Secondly, they had been messed up too badly. If it was announced, it would cause social panic.
[It was like a dream that Roman was actually dead, even though I had seen him appear more than ten days ago.]
[Hearing of his death, I was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, and feeling quite upset.]
[Wake up, everyone! Don’t show any sympathy for the murderer; he killed Lola and attempted to frame Brielle multiple times. He
deserves what he gets!]
[I heard from a relative of mine who works at the police station that Roman had set a fire and burned someone to death before
taking his own life last night.]
[Da mn, he wanted to take someone down with him before he passed away? Then he deserved his fate!]
[In the blink of an eye, Galley Group, once a renowned company in Ocean City, and the Galley family, one of the wealthiest in the
city, were on the brink of bankruptcy within a month.]
[He’s already bankrupt, okay? I heard that the Galley Group is currently selling itself out, and not long from now, they’ll be
changing their name.]
It’s quite heartbreaking.]
[The Galley family deserves retribution for their misdeeds!]
[The Galley family instilled in me the belief that evil begets evil, giving me a glimmer of hope as someone at the bottom of society
with no power or ability. If I ever face injustice, I can at least hope that the perpetrator will receive their due retribution.]
[Congratulations, Sister E, you have achieved your revenge at last!]
[Speaking of Sister E, she has already taken a long break after filming Wilderness Survival. So why hasn’t she taken up a new
job yet? Even the production team’s dogs wouldn’t dare to take such an extended break!]
[I implore Sister E not to take a break; instead, hurry and join the program. Even if you don’t join the program, at least throw us a
bone by doing a live-streaming.]
[Ah, another day when I’m missing Sister E like crazy. I’ve already watched Wilderness Survival’s recording more than ten times
and still can’t get enough!]
At first, the netizens were still talking about Roman.
But later, it became a collective call for Brielle to go on the program.
Someone just uploaded a tweet screenshot, instantly sparking a hot search.
[Brielle Taking On Extreme Survival!]
[Extreme Survival Contestants Announced]
[W TF! Is this real or fake? It can’t be real, right? Sister E actually wants to participate in the new season’s Extreme Survival live
broadcast recording?]
[I also suspect that this is fake. Could it be that someone deliberately photoshopped it?]
[That’s right, it must be fake. How could Sister E participate in such a disgusting program?]
[Although Sister E is powerful, there is still a vast difference between her and the contestants of Extreme Survival, who are all
highly skilled and experienced. Comparing them would be like comparing apples to oranges.]
[I just went to the Internet to take a look. The news is true. Extreme Survival has personally announced the name list!]
[Why is Sister E so reckless? Don’t join in; you’ll be treated very poorly.]
[ *Sigh* I can already imagine how miserable Sister E will end up.]
[Brielle is really overestimating herself. She actually went to participate in Extreme Survival. She is courting death. Don’t lose
face for us!]
[Her participation will surely bring about our humiliation and ridicule from other countries.]
[I didn’t expect Brielle to be so ignorant. I instantly have no good impression of her!]
[So disgusting...]
