Chapter 47 Daphne, I truly underestimated you
"Are you sure you want me to check this?" Kevin asked tentatively after hearing her words.
Daphne gave a positive reply, "Yes."
Although Kevin was puzzled, he still agreed, "No problem!"
"After you finish checking, send me the information."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Daphne put down her phone and pulled the blanket over her to sleep.
The next morning, when she woke up early, she saw the message Kevin sent her: “Daphne, I searched all night and there doesn't seem to be anything special. The only woman who has entered his social circle is still Austin's friend.”
Daphne replied, "Okay, got it."
She didn't call to ask for more details. Kevin had been searching all night and should be asleep now, calling would definitely disturb him.
She thought that after coming here with Charles and staying quietly, nothing else would happen, but she still underestimated some people's ability to cause trouble. She hadn't finished eating breakfast when she found a charger to charge her phone. Charles came back from outside with Mark, who had a complicated expression following him.
Charles exuded a cold and sharp aura all over his body, and his gaze was like a sharp knife. He walked towards Daphne, his perfectly-fitted suit making him look tall and imposing. Without expecting it, Charles grabbed her by the neck and pressed her against the wall, his eyes filled with anger.
"Daphne, I truly misjudged you! When you vehemently denied it in the hospital, I believed you. You treat my trust in you like this!" Charles exerted great strength. Daphne's body sensed the danger and she instinctively kicked him, forcing Charles to release her neck. Daphne coughed violently, with a distinct five-finger mark on her fair and slender neck.
"Are you crazy?" Daphne couldn't contain her anger.
This was early in the morning. He didn't even greet her before strangling her. Is this what a normal person would do? Charles' eyes were cold and filled with anger, "Why did you send someone to run into Kayla? Tell me!"
"When did I send someone to do that?" Daphne was angry, but she had heard what he said earlier, "The police have already arrested the suspect. What are you going crazy for?"
Charles was burning with rage all over his body. Mark pushed his glasses With a slight pursing of her lips, Daphne spoke up, "The police station just called. They said a hired driver accused Miss Baker's suspect of the crime, claiming that you instructed him to do so."
In the normal procedure, the police would have come to arrest her. But since Miss Baker handed this matter to the boss, he stopped the arrest after being briefed by the police and came personally.
"Let's go to the police station," Daphne didn't want to argue with Charles any further. She believed in the law. If she didn't do it, even with multiple accusations against her, the law would prove her innocence without concrete evidence.
"Who are you acting innocent for?" Charles retorted; his tone filled with mockery. "During the hospital incident, didn't you use the same method to clear your own suspicion? Now you want to pull the same trick again?"
"Only those with a diseased mind need treatment." Daphne never expected the blame to fall on her again. "At this time, instead of coming to me and shouting a few words, why don't you investigate the whole incident thoroughly?"
"Daphne, I really underestimated you," Charles's voice grew heavier.
Daphne's patience was gradually wearing thin. Mark felt the pressure and didn't dare to take a breath.
"Do you really think I don't know what you're scheming?" Charles's eyes showed a glimpse of unknown emotions.
Daphne confronted him. "What am I scheming?"
"If you go to the police station, with Evan's ability, it would be a piece of cake for him to get you out," Charles said, not realizing the emotions that flashed through his mind when he made the statement. "And with influential figures in the legal field, clearing your suspicion would be even simpler."
Daphne couldn't be bothered to engage in any more discussion with him. She had never seen such a foolish person before.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Mark spoke nervously, "Boss, I don't believe Miss Murphy would do such a thing, she..."
"Shut up!" Charles angrily interrupted.
Mark obediently complied, saying, "Yes."
Daphne's mind raced, and she finally made a decision. "No matter what, do you firmly believe that I did this?"
"Yes," Charles stated firmly.
Daphne met his gaze head-on. "If I can prove it wasn't me?"
Charles remained silent, but his eyes and expression told her clearly; “this was something you did, there is no other possibility.”
"If I can prove it wasn't me, then you will kneel down here and apologize to me," Daphne blurted out, reaching her breaking point.
A chill surged through Charles. "And if you fail to prove it, you will kneel down and apologize to Kayla."
Daphne shifted her gaze away from him and calmly looked at Mark. "Let me use the computer."
"Give it to her," Charles ordered.
Mark obediently handed it over. Daphne turned on the computer, and as soon as the screen lit up, Mark wanted to tell her the password, but before he could, Daphne's fingers tapped the keyboard twice, and the computer unlocked. Mark was shocked.
Charles furrowed his eyebrows. Daphne placed the computer on the table and started searching for information in a different position.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a flashing letter "K" appeared on the left side of the screen when the computer was officially working. That was Daphne's code, the code of the hacker queen. She had never thought of using this technique. But now that things had come to this point, if she didn't uncover the truth, she would only be falsely accused again and again.
While she was searching here, Kevin was aware of it. Kevin had been researching all night and sent the information to Daphne before going to sleep. However, he couldn't sleep after staying up all night, so he got out of bed after lying there for a while. Just as he was about to reply to the message Daphne sent him, a flashing letter "K" suddenly appeared on the computer screen!
Kevin couldn’t help but exclaim.” Fuck! Daphne showed up???” He absentmindedly picked up his phone, about to make a call to ask what was going on but stopped himself.
Daphne was busy now, and calling her would definitely interrupt her thoughts. He couldn't call. But he was really curious! What exactly happened that made Daphne return and why at this particular time? After thinking for a moment, he posted this gossip in their chatting group. Everyone in the group knew about Daphne's identity.
Kevin: “Everyone, come out and I'll tell you a mind-blowing secret. Daphne has appeared!!!!”
Kevin: “My most admired K!”
