Chapter 694 How Can She Clear Her Name
Violet stayed with Brady in the ward for a while before heading to the police station to get more information.
Before Eileen died, she handed the police a recording, accusing Violet of abusing her.
Even though Eileen had committed unforgivable crimes, everyone was equal before the law.
Even if Eileen was a criminal, Violet would be investigated for abusing her. There was no escaping that.
However, Violet was no longer the inexperienced girl fresh out of school who would panic and be at a loss when faced with trouble.
She was now Brady's wife and the mother of Henry and Nicole. She was capable of handling this.
So, she confidently went to the police station to discuss Eileen's false accusations of abuse.
The police weren't particularly inclined to pursue Violet, not because she was Brady's wife, but because Eileen's crimes were severe, and the recording could have been fabricated.
Moreover, the content of the recording alone wasn't enough to arrest Violet.
At most, she would receive a verbal warning.
But the problem was that Eileen had left a backup plan. When she was arrested, the police allowed her family to visit her.
As a result, her family made a copy of the recording.
Now it was circulating online. For Violet, once it was exposed, it would definitely further damage the Hall family's reputation. The previous scandal about Violet being a prostitute had already tarnished the Hall Group's image.
Let alone this abuse incident.
So, the police's stance was that they could give her a verbal warning and not investigate further, but she would need to manage the online public opinion herself.
Violet understood. After thanking the police, she left with her bodyguard.
Outside, Violet asked the bodyguard for an iPad and checked the online news. Sure enough, anything involving a wealthy family was headline news.
Yesterday, the headlines were about Eileen killing her mother-in-law. Today, it had turned into Eileen becoming a murderer because of Violet's abuse.
The implication was that Eileen's murder wasn't her fault; it was due to Violet's violent treatment.
And now that Eileen was dead, how could Violet clear her name?
She had underestimated Eileen's cunning.
Violet calmly read through all the online news. The bodyguard glanced at the news and hesitated before suggesting, "Do you need me to arrange for these news articles to be taken down?"
Violet handed the iPad back to the bodyguard and said, "No need. Eileen's family is holding a press conference this afternoon. If we delete the news, it will look like we're guilty. I can handle it."
The bodyguard nodded, "Understood."
"Get the car ready. I need to see Ava." Violet instructed.
Ava was in the entertainment industry and knew how to handle press conferences and statements, so she could help deal with Eileen's family.
The bodyguard respectfully followed orders, "Got it."
He went to the police station's parking lot to get the car, while Violet stood at the entrance, thinking about how to handle the situation.
Eileen's family wasn't easy to deal with.
They were previously middle-class, not as wealthy as the Hall family, but they had connections in the legal field.
They would likely try to suppress her.
Violet thought for a moment. She would see Ava first and then go to Hellen. When she moved out of the Devereux family, she left some of Evelyn's belongings with Hellen.
Among those belongings was evidence of Eileen's abuse when she was a mistress.
So, who was abusing whom would be clear. If Eileen hadn't pushed her to the limit this time, she wouldn't have brought out the photos. Those photos were a nightmare from her past.
She had planned to burn them because seeing them always made her feel cold, but Evelyn had insisted on keeping them to sue Eileen in the future.
After Evelyn passed away, the photos had just been sitting there unused. Now, they could finally be put to use.
