Chapter 331 Prove Her Innocence

Gizem chuckled.

Yareli insists on framing me; does she really think that everyone else is stupid?

“Samuel, I’m telling the truth,” Yareli stated firmly.

Samuel cast her a cold gaze. “Who told you she did it?”

Yareli paused. Her eyes were filled with guilt as she added, “The ones you captured! Someone told me that they have confessed. This whole thing was orchestrated by this woman!”

Samuel’s cold stare remained. “I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

Yareli bit her lip.

She didn’t know which part she had messed up.

“Samuel, don’t forget what I mean to you!” Yareli expressed her displeasure.

Samuel’s handsome face turned grim. “I hate threats. I don’t mind killing you, and then wait for death myself.”

Yareli froze.

Gizem smiled faintly at her, and then calmly walked past her.

Overcome by anger, Yareli gnashed her teeth.

For some reason, Gizem was in a very good mood.

She followed Samuel into Florinia Manor.

The captives had been locked in the tower there.

They had all been tortured by Gizem to the extreme, and were in indescribable pain because they did not receive timely treatment.

They all got excited when they finally saw Samuel show up, but their faces fell when they spotted Gizem right behind him.

Gizem snickered. “You all work for me. Is this how you react when you see me coming to save you?”

Samuel threw her a sideways glance.

She had actually gone on a preemptive strike.

This put the few people in an awkward situation.

“What are your names?” Gizem asked smilingly.

There was a malicious intend behind her smile, which made them shudder.

Gizem then looked at the woman. “What’s your name? As your leader, I don’t really remember.”

The woman bit her lip. “I’m Alice Dashwood.”

Gizem slowly crouched down. Grinning, she said, “Oh, Alice. What have you done? I’ve given you so many benefits, and yet you still betrayed me. How could you?”

Alice got confused.

Why isn’t she severing ties with me?

“Oh, right. Why don’t you tell Mr. Macari what benefits I’ve given you?” Gizem flashed a half-smile. “If anything, I don’t think I’m an exploitative tyrant. Since you work for me, I’ll surely not mistreat you.”

Alice exchanged glances with the others.

“If you can provide the evidence, Mr. Macari will let you go. I can handle the rest alone,” Gizem added with a raised brow.

However, they didn’t believe her.

“Mr. Macari, am I right?” Gizem turned to Samuel and shot him a look.

He nodded nonchalantly.

“You have no idea how inhumane Mr. Macari can be. He knows I’m the mastermind behind the whole thing, so he grabbed me from the hospital and took me here,” Gizem said helplessly. “I may seem calm and composed right now, but I’m actually scared to death. Mr. Macari and I struck a deal. If you can provide the evidence, I can be left in one piece. Come on, give me an answer. Don’t delay my death.”

Everyone was speechless.

“Don’t you want to get your injuries looked at?” she asked meaningfully.

It was then that Alice piped up, “Don’t you remember? You gave us a lot of money.”

“How did I do that?” Gizem asked.

“You transferred it,” Alice answered.

“Words are not enough. Hand over the account number, and Mr. Macari will check it out,” Gizem instructed.

Alice hesitated.

“What are you waiting for?” Gizem frowned. “Don’t you want to live? You’ve betrayed me, so might as well get it over with.”

Alice looked at the others.

Then, she opened her mouth and provided an account number.

Gizem turned to Samuel. “Mr. Macari, you may go check.”

Casting her an impassive gaze, he responded, “You’re coming with me!”

“Fine.” Gizem trailed behind him.

After they stepped out, she explained, “Mr. Macari, I’m guessing you have some sort of expert on your side. Get them to check Alice’s account. I’m sure you’ll find the account she received the money from.”

“Do you think I’ll believe that?” Samuel said with a distant gaze.

Gizem was stunned. She went on, “If you don’t believe me, Mr. Macari, there’s nothing I can do. If you’re so sure that I did it, you can do whatever you plan to do to me.”

She got tired of explaining.

Samuel glanced at her coldly, thinking that it would be far-fetched to consider this a pitiful act.

Her move wasn’t a smart one because it completely exposed her.

He could tell that Gizem was smart and cautious.

She couldn’t have committed such a grave mistake, unless she was framed.

If so, then that person’s goal was simple. They could kill two birds with one stone. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

They could get rid of Gizem and, at the same time, cause him to lose his daughter.

Who could hate Gizem so much and dislike my daughter as well?

The answer was obvious.

“Tyson,” Samuel muttered coldly.

Tyson walked over to him. “Yes, Mr. Macari?”

“Take her home,” Samuel instructed irately.

Tyson peered at Gizem, his eyes filled with doubt. “Understood.”

Didn’t Mr. Macari bring her here to interrogate her? Why is he sending her away so suddenly?

Gizem was stunned too as she blinked. “Do you believe me?”

Samuel said nothing.

Watching him, she chuckled.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons, an indication that she was indeed happy.

Samuel stared into her eyes.

Kathleen used to be just like that.

“Go,” he said coldly.

“Okay.” Gizem nodded and left with Tyson.

Then, Samuel got his subordinates to check the account Alice had provided.

In the tower, no one was guarding the captives who were all tied up.

“Do you think Samuel will believe what I said?” Alice asked worriedly.

“Relax. Even if he doesn’t, once he checks, he’ll find out that it was Gizem who transferred the money to us,” her companion said.

“Right. Soon, we’ll be free. I need to get treatment soon, or I’ll really go blind!”

Samuel sat in the study, listening to their conversation.

He had installed a bugging device in the tower.

In the beginning, they wouldn’t give in.

After what Gizem did, they eventually spoke.

Just then, Eil opened the door of the study.

He placed the tablet in front of Samuel. “Daddy, I’ve checked. The account that Alice mentioned is really hers, but the one that transferred money to her seems problematic. Truthfully, it’s under Gizem’s name, but after a quick check, I found that Gizem is not even that bank’s client. Someone’s modified the information.”

Samuel lifted the boy and placed him on his lap. “Who asked you to check?”

“I know what you’re thinking, Daddy.” Eil glanced sideways at Samuel. “But I’m not about to accuse Dr. Zabinski of something she didn’t do.”

Samuel asked, “Do you like her?”

“Of course,” Eil replied calmly. “But I know she can’t replace Mommy.”

Samuel stroked the boy’s head and said in a low voice, “Eil, you’re the older brother. I’m relieved to know that you’re so calm and confident.”

Eil was overjoyed at the compliment.

Samuel’s tone was heavy as he continued, “In the future, with you in charge, I believe the family is in good hands.”
