Chapter 513 Rescue Failed
The two of them walked to the gate of the Melville Manor, and Katherine stopped to look at Sophie. "Miss Jones, if you have something to say, you can say it here!" she urged.
Sophie looked around, a bit reluctant as she spoke, "But... there are surveillance cameras here. The Melville family's surveillance system can probably record sound, right?"
Katherine raised an eyebrow as she explained, "The Melville family's surveillance system does record sound, but unless something happens, no one checks the surveillance records. So, no one will find out what you said. Miss Jones, go ahead!"
Sophie looked distressed, then stated, "Even if no one checks the records, leaving a record still makes me feel ashamed and it's difficult to speak... Katherine, since you've already walked with me here, it wouldn't hurt to walk a few more steps, right? The alley up ahead is farther away, so it won't record any sound! Come with me there, and we'll talk."
Katherine looked up at the surveillance cameras anxiously, then looked at the alley Sophie pointed to...
Not only would it not record sound there, but it was also a blind spot for the cameras.
Sophie was deliberately leading her to a blind spot, and she had been so reluctant to let Fiona come out just now. She couldn't let her guard down...
Seeing Katherine hesitate, Sophie added, "Katherine, are you worried I might do something?"
Katherine raised an eyebrow in doubt and retorted, "Aren't you?"
Sophie gave a bitter smile. She replied, "Katherine, you're overthinking! You've already told me Scarlett's true nature, so what reason do I have to continue do her bidding? Besides, even if I wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't choose this moment! Everyone in the Melville family knows I came to see you today. Fiona just saw you walk me out. Not only do I not dare to do anything to you, but I'm also afraid the Melville family would blame me if something happened to you now!"
Katherine squinted her eyes and thought for a moment. It did make sense, so she smiled and agreed, "True, let's go then. It's just a few more steps!"
Katherine followed Sophie to the entrance of the alley but didn't enter. She asked patiently, "Can you talk now?"
Sophie nodded in affirmation and replied, "Yes, I can."
Katherine said sternly "Then tell me, what inappropriate things has Alex done that I don't know about?"
Sophie looked into Katherine's eyes, her gaze gradually darkening in fear. She struggled to speak, "It's about Alex. He ..."
She dragged out her words, seeming embarrassed or perhaps deliberately stalling...
Suddenly, the sound of a car engine came from the alley. Sophie glanced into the alley, confirmed the situation, and then suddenly pushed Katherine hard, saying viciously, "Katherine, I've had enough of you. Go to hell!"
Katherine's pupils dilated in horror as she realized it was too late and that she had walked into the trap. She was pushed into the middle of the alley and heard the sound of a car speeding towards her. Instinctively, she looked toward the source of the sound. In broad daylight, the car's high beams blinded her.
A loud crash!
Katherine's whole body rolled onto the car's windshield and then fell to the ground, blood gushing from the back of her head...
The car reversed, quickly turned onto the main road, passed by the Melville family gate, and sped away!
Sophie deliberately chased the car for a few steps, making sure she was recorded by the surveillance cameras looking anxious, then ran back to the scene of the accident!
In the mansion area, each household had excellent soundproofing, so no one heard the crash...
Katherine lay in a pool of blood, eyes closed, seemingly lifeless.
Sophie looked down at Katherine's lifeless body, her eyes filled with cold disgust as she blurted out, "You think you can drive a wedge between Scarlett and me? Did you really think I would believe you? Katherine, you malicious woman, you got what you deserved!"
After a few minutes, confirming that Katherine would never wake up again, Sophie put on a frightened expression and ran into the Melville family, shouting, "Jackie, Sandra, Fiona! Come out quickly! Katherine was hit by a car!"
Hearing the shouting, Anton, the butler, was the first to rush out, his face full of shock. "Miss Jones, what did you just say?!" he exclaimed.
Sophie cried, "Just now, after Katherine walked me out, I told her she didn't need to walk me back, but she insisted on making sure I got a cab. I couldn't refuse, so I let her accompany me. But suddenly, a car came out of the alley and hit Katherine, then drove away!"
"What?!" Sandra and Jackie, who had just come out, heard Sophie's explanation. Sandra was so shocked she almost fainted. Fortunately, Jackie, who was in a wheelchair, caught her in time, preventing her from falling...
Jackie, more composed, asked, "How is she now, and where is she?"
Sophie, with tears streaming down her face, said, "Katherine is lying outside, bleeding a lot. I tried CPR, but there was no response..."
Sandra clutched her chest, looking like she was about to have a heart attack...
Jackie, with a stern expression, asked, "Did you call an ambulance?"
Sophie, in a panic, shook her head, "No, I... I was too anxious and forgot... I'll call 911 right now..."
Jackie sternly ordered Anton, "Send someone out to check on Katherine. Before the ambulance arrives, have the family doctor go see her!"
Anton had already sent someone out, "Yes, Mr. Melville. What about Alex Melville..."
Jackie thought for a moment, "Don't call him yet. We don't want him to get anxious and have an accident on the way!"
Anton agreed with Jackie's reasoning and quickly followed the family doctor out...
Sandra, clutching her chest, tears streaming from her kind, aged eyes, prayed fervently, "Katherine... Katherine must be okay..."
As she spoke, Sandra tried to get up to go see for herself, but Jackie stopped her, "At a time like this, you shouldn't go out and cause more trouble! If you faint, should the doctor save you first or Katherine?"
Sandra, understanding her health condition, listened to Jackie, wiped her tears, and sat down to take some heart medication...
The sound of the ambulance siren wailed.
The hospital was filled with the scent of death and disinfectant...
The light in the emergency room stayed on, and outside, some people looked grave, whileothers were tearful.
Alex rushed to the hospital after finishing a meeting and hearing from Leander about what had happened.
Bernard arrived first after receiving a call from Sophie.
Seeing Alex arrive so late, Bernard threw down his crutches and punched him, "You bastard, is this how you take care of my sister?"
