Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Another Wife Killer?

[Isn’t this black ash familiar?]

[I know this one! Last time, after my Jingjing used the Brocade Bag to save someone, the Talisman Paper had this kind of black ash!]

[I heard that when the Talisman Paper blocks disaster, it turns to ash! Could it really be true?]

[So, was it the Life-saving Bag Scarlett Jennings gave her that saved her life?!]

[Oh my! What kind of Talisman Paper is this powerful?! Share the link with me!]

[I’m also asking for the link!]

[The show needs to put out the link, don’t make me beg!]

The guests present apparently also vaguely guessed what that black ash was, but Evander Simpson didn’t know. When he saw her opening her palm, he was somewhat puzzled,

"Nora, what are you...?"

Nora Woods saw him still pretending and immediately sneered, "Don’t you recognize it? This ash is from the Talisman Paper inside the Brocade Bag Miss Jennings gave me, the one you secretly threw away later."

If she hadn’t experienced it herself, Nora Woods wouldn’t have believed such magical things truly existed in the world.

At the moment of the fall, she really thought she was going to die, but as she was about to hit the ground, it felt as though some power helped absorb the brunt of the impact. She was still in pain, but she realized her condition wasn’t too bad.

At Nora Woods’ words, Evander Simpson’s complexion changed slightly. Nora watched him, her eyes filled with bitterness,

"...If I hadn’t found out midway that the Brocade Bag in my backpack was gone, I wouldn’t have believed you deliberately pushed me off the mountain...

Because you heard it can save lives, you threw it away on a notion that it’s better to believe than not, Evander Simpson, you hoped I’d die."

"No!" Evander defended himself vehemently, "Nora, how could you think of me like that? Just because of a Brocade Bag? It was merely an accident that I fell down the mountain, and it was even your idea to go hiking. How could I..."

"That’s because you kept saying you regretted not seeing the sunset at Sunbeam Mountain when we left!"

Nora interrupted him excitedly. If not for the pain, she would’ve jumped up to confront him.

"After Miss Jennings gave me her Life-saving Bag, I looked it up online. People said the Talisman Paper inside was drawn by a master and actually effective, so I had already taken the Talisman Paper out a long time ago. The Bag you threw away was empty!"

But until she realized the Brocade Bag was missing midway, she hadn’t suspected Evander Simpson, until... he pretended to fall and accidentally pushed her off the cliff...

It was then Nora Woods knew it was a premeditated murder!

Yet she couldn’t understand.

"I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong to you. We’ve been fine, so why would you do this to me..."

Evander Simpson’s face was very unpleasant, but he also knew that without evidence today, as long as he didn’t admit, it wouldn’t fall on him, so he remained looking pained and confused,

"I didn’t, I didn’t! Why don’t you trust me?!"

While the two pulled at each other, Scarlett Jennings finally spoke again, the calmness in her voice unchanged,

"Whether it happened or not will be clear once the police investigate."

She looked at Evander, her almond eyes slowly surveying his face. After a while, she concluded,

"The Financial Palace is dull, and a bloodline added to the Couple’s Palace... you’ve been short on money lately, haven’t you?"

At Scarlett Jennings’ words, Evander Simpson’s expression changed instantly, while Nora Woods came to a realizational disbelief looking at Evander,

"It was for money? Because of that investment you told me about? You wanted to kill me for that little money?!"

Hearing this, Evander’s lips twitched harshly; now it was truly difficult to hold back,

"For that little money... ha, you’re from a wealthy family, of course, you look down on that money. But if it means so little to you, why did your father stop giving me investment?

I know, you all look down on me, think I can never succeed! I was just upset... I wanted to teach your father a lesson..."

As he spoke, he regretfully hugged his head, his voice full of remorse,

"But I just thought about it and never intended to harm you. I didn’t know why I acted this way..."

He really hadn’t planned to act; before this, he merely contemplated.

Even if he truly were to act, it should’ve been well-planned, not like today, where issues could be easily discovered...

Evander Simpson was truly frustrated.

But few present believed him.

Killing a wife wasn’t unheard of these days, and declarations of undying love were no longer about romance but murder techniques.

Facades like his were not believed by anyone present; even children in the live stream’s audience were skeptical.

[Another dreadful man!]

[Getting married is really dangerous nowadays, and my mom keeps urging me to marry!]

[Right? Women have it especially rough, it’s either domestic abuse or being dismembered, what woman still dares to marry?]

[Who says boys aren’t in danger? There are plenty of stories about husbands getting killed online!]

[Exactly, that wife who fought back after ten years of abuse, even his parents forgave her. Just who do you think had it worse?]

[Ever heard of someone achieving enlightenment by killing their husband? No? Shows that women inherently hold a more dangerous position in marriage!]

[...I have no argument against this.]

The live broadcast barrage began debating fervently again, only for Scarlett Jennings to voice agreement with Evander Simpson’s words.

"I believe what you said."

Everyone: ???

Evander Simpson: ???

Scarlett Jennings observed the accumulated black Resentful Energy on his brow, seeing a thread of it linking to the inn owner, exactly like she’d seen between that arguing young couple earlier.

"You indeed started just by thinking and had no real intent to act, at least not today. But instead, you acted as if countless voices inside yelled at you to hurry and do it, why put off till tomorrow..."

Live broadcast viewers: ...

You have a way with words.

It’s absurdly fitting.

Listening to Scarlett Jennings, Evander Simpson seemed to find a kindred spirit, nodding fervently again and again.

Yes, that was exactly it!

He truly hadn’t planned to act!

No one understood why Scarlett Jennings was explaining for this attempted murder, except Evander Simpson, who seemed to comprehend her underlying meaning.

"Are you saying he was also influenced by Resentful Energy?"

Speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Grayson Crawford, apparently remembering Scarlett Jennings’ previous words and added, asking hesitantly,

"Also influenced by the inn owner’s Resentful Energy?"

The topic suddenly returned to Grayson Crawford.

Especially when Scarlett Jennings nodded again, confirming, the live stream’s audience began exercising their strong imagination.

[I must state my previous bold guess!]

[Truth be told, I had the same guess!]

[Scarlett Jennings has twice mentioned Resentful Energy on the owner, but how did it get there? Isn’t Resentful Energy supposed to come from a discontented soul after death, so isn’t it possible... the inn owner’s Resentful Energy comes from his dead wife?]

[Before, everyone online praised the owner and his wife’s love, but if it was real love, where’d the Resentful Energy come from?]

[Is it possible we all got deceived by the inn owner...]
