Selma Payne’s POV:

I knew it was time to end this reunion. Now, there were more important things to be solved.

I looked to Sisley, indicating that he could go calm down. But he shook his head, looked at Julie, and lowered his gaze.

“I’m sorry, Julie, but we have little time.” I came to Julie and said, “I want to ask you some questions about what happened in the manor of the Golden Bell Pack over twenty years ago.”

Julie didn’t resist and nodded obediently. “I’ll tell you everything, Your Highness.”

I was a little surprised by her cooperative attitude. Julie saw it and smiled bitterly. “Please believe me, Your Highness. I sincerely want to help you solve your doubts. You know I’m already dead, so why should the dead fight against the living? I think I should tell you about what happened in that manor.

“If I’m not wrong, the others don’t remember anything now, right? If I don’t tell you, this will be a secret that will never be solved. Ms. Layla was a good person, she shouldn’t have had to face injustice.”

“Injustice? Do you know the inside story of Layla’s death?”

In response to my question, Julie lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Yes, or rather, I’m one of the murderers who killed Ms. Layla.”

Clang! A loud sound caused everyone in the room to look in that direction. Aldrich was holding Master Kevin back, and beside him were the fallen experimental supplies.

His eyes were red and full of hatred as he stared at Julie as if he couldn’t wait to tear her apart.

Julie was shocked. She looked at it carefully and said in realization, “It’s you, Sir. I… I know you. You and the other gentleman brought the other half of me from the Golden Bell Pack.”

Her eyes were hazy as she recalled something. When she looked at Kevin again, her gaze was filled with guilt and pain.

“Oh, you’re Ms. Layla’s lover. She showed me that ring, and you were getting married…

“Heavens! Heavens! Please forgive me, this was not my intention! I couldn’t help it, I couldn’t control myself!” She burst into tears. “Ms. Layla was a good person. She was very good to me and even said she would invite me to her wedding. But I… Oh, please, Sir, forgive me. I didn’t want to kill her!”

“But you still did!” Master Kevin roared and struggled under Aldrich’s grip, veins bulging on his forehead. “Why did you do it? Tell me! Why?”

However, Julie seemed to be suffering from some kind of embarrassment. She looked at a certain point in the void and muttered to herself.

I could only let Aldrich temporarily pull the agitated Kevin away and promise Kevin that we would definitely find out the whole story. They went to the observation room next door, where a one-way glass allowed them to see everything that happened in the laboratory.

I tried to comfort Julie, but it was no use. The soul realm was a blank piece of paper for me. At this moment, the silent Sisley suddenly stepped forward and called out to Julie, who was still immersed in her nightmare, “Madam… Grandma, please wake up!”

His voice made Julie stiffen, and she suddenly broke free from the nightmare of the past. She looked at him, her lips trembling, but she lowered her head and said nothing.

Julie lowered her gaze in disappointment and looked at me again. She said uneasily, “I’m sorry, Your Highness, I… I…”

“It doesn’t matter.” I shook my head. “You said that it wasn’t your intention to kill Layla. Would you like to tell me why?”

“It’s a long story. If you don’t mind, I can tell you from the beginning,” Julie said with a sad smile.

I nodded.

Julie was born into a poor family. Her parents passed away when she was very young. The relatives of the poor were also poor, so the relatives who adopted her saw this little girl, who did not bring much inheritance, as a burden. Julie had grown up in a cold environment, so it was natural that she yearned for true love.

As a result, everything happened naturally in the rebellious phase of her youth. Julie fell in love with a hooligan, listened to his fancy words, and dropped out of high school, thinking she could reap a happy love and a new life.

However, the reality was that the gangster was a scumbag. He sold Julie for a good price and ran away, leaving the terrified Julie in the underground bar.

Just like that, Julie began her career as a stripper. She hated the job. The services provided by the underground bar were disgusting. She could only keep relying on powerful investors to protect herself. The huge pressure made her despair, and she simply spent money and her life in the false pursuit to restrain the omnipresent pain.

She had thought that her life would end in her fall, but one day, a man appeared and changed everything..
