Chapter 430 New Clues, Witness
Niamh's obedient demeanor did not make Ophelia relax her guard or reduce her suspicion of her in the slightest.
Niamh's behavior was all a facade. Even if the law had not found Niamh guilty, it did not mean she was innocent.
Ophelia had seen the video of Sybil's murder, which was extremely gruesome. Only a heartless and ruthless person could have done such a thing.
Landon had not been able to find any evidence, and Niamh had an alibi, which had brought the case to a standstill.
Hearing footsteps, Niamh turned to glance at Ophelia. In Niamh's eyes, there was fear, hatred, and envy.
After a brief look, Niamh withdrew her gaze.
Ophelia walked over and said, "Niamh, move out of here within three days. I will come to take possession of the house in three days."
Hearing this, Niamh wanted to stand up and argue, but seeing Finnegan nearby, she suppressed her impulse and sat back down.
"Ophelia, you've already got Parks Corporation. Why do you have to go to such extremes? I've lived here for over ten years. What right do you have to kick me out?" Niamh stared at Ophelia. "Even if I'm not the heiress of Parks Corporation, my last name is still Parks."
"I said you need to move out, so you must move out. If you haven't moved out in three days, don't blame me for having you thrown out," Ophelia said, not wasting words with Niamh.
She then turned to Emerson and said, "Emerson, please keep an eye on things. Apart from her personal belongings, not a single brick or tile should be taken from here."
"Yes, Miss," Emerson replied respectfully.
"Ophelia, you're bullying me."
Niamh felt the murderous aura from Finnegan and swallowed the rest of her words.
Finnegan stood up, walked over to Ophelia, and took her hand. "Honey, let's go. I'll send some people over later to help Niamh pack her things."
Although he said help, it was actually to supervise and ensure Niamh left.
Niamh was furious but dared not speak out. After they left, she vented her anger on Emerson. "You're just a dog raised by the Parks Family. Who do you think you are, daring to help Ophelia watch over me?"
Emerson, unflinching, replied, "Even if I'm a dog, I must recognize the right master. Ophelia is the true master. You are nothing. Dovie and Natalie have long since separated from the family. You are living here only as guests. Of course, Ophelia has the right to reclaim the house."
Niamh, enraged, slapped Emerson. "Lapdog."
Emerson felt very aggrieved but did not retaliate. She turned and left.
Niamh was furious to the point of madness.
The next day, there were only two hours left until the 48-hour mark. Without new evidence, Natalie could be released on bail.
Ophelia was also anxious. She knew Natalie was a suspect, but the current situation was very unfavorable.
Ophelia went to the hospital again, this time with Tate. Finnegan had gone to the company for some business.
Ophelia stood still in the intensive care unit where Dovie had stayed, staring at the room. As long as she didn't open that door, it was as if the person was still alive, and time had turned back.
Now, another patient occupied the intensive care unit. A boy, about eight years old, was peeking inside from the window. Ophelia thought the boy was a relative of the patient inside and didn't think much of it.
After a while, a woman came over. "What are you doing here? Let's go." The woman had a harsh attitude and tone, grabbing the boy's ear. The boy, timid, did not resist. "Mom, someone died in there."
"People die in there all the time. What's so strange about that?" the woman said. "Those who get to stay in there are all critically ill."
As they walked past Ophelia, the boy's voice came from behind. "Mom, no, I saw it. That bad aunt messed with the IV tube, and that's why the lady in the bed died. Really, believe me."
The woman quickly covered the boy's mouth. "Don't talk nonsense." She looked around, afraid someone might hear and cause trouble.
However, Ophelia had already heard. The boy's words made her think, so she walked over excitedly. "Little boy, is what you said true? Do you remember which day you saw it?"
