Chapter 281 I Didn't Mean to Kill Her
Since childhood, Phoebe had always been afraid of Craig. Being looked at with such eyes by him instantly made her tense up, to the point where she couldn't even breathe.
"I didn't mean to kill her," she lowered her head, unable to meet Craig's gaze.
"You didn't mean to kill me? The speed at which you rushed towards me didn't seem like you were planning to spare me," Evelyn later checked the surveillance footage, and that's when she felt a sense of dread. If Dermot hadn't appeared in time, she might have lost her life by now.
Phoebe wanted to argue back, but upon feeling Craig's gaze, she had to retract her words. "I was originally planning to stop right in front of you, just to scare you. But unexpectedly, the brakes suddenly malfunctioned, even I was startled."
"Do you think anyone would believe that?" Evelyn looked at her, clearly not believing Phoebe's words.
Phoebe gritted her teeth. If it wasn't for Craig being here, she wouldn't have wanted to explain so much. "If you don't believe it, then forget it. I really didn't mean to kill you," she coldly snorted and then lay down pretending to sleep, as if it didn't matter what they did.
Craig averted his gaze and looked at Evelyn. "She wouldn't dare to lie in front of me."
Furthermore, Craig also believed that Phoebe didn't have the courage. It shouldn't be a lie to say she wanted to scare Evelyn.
Evelyn pursed her lips. In fact, she also knew that Phoebe didn't have the courage, but she still felt that it was too coincidental and had a hard time believing it.
"That car should still be there, you can investigate," Craig said.
Evelyn nodded at his words, "Of course, I will investigate."
"However, even if Phoebe didn't mean to kill me, it doesn't mean she is innocent. If you want to persuade me to let her go using this, then you're being too naive," she wouldn't let her go so easily.
Evelyn saying this didn't surprise Craig, he knew this woman was not so easily appeased. "You can make a condition, as long as it's not excessive, I can consider agreeing."
In the end, he decided to protect Phoebe.
Upon hearing this, Evelyn's eyes instantly lit up. What could she gain from Craig?
Just as she was worrying about what conditions to propose, Dermot casually mentioned, "I remember you have a clothing factory under your name, right?"
Upon hearing this, Evelyn's eyes brightened. Although she had established her own clothing design company, she didn't have her own factory. The designs could only be outsourced to other factories, which was not conducive to quality control.
If she had her own factory, then all these problems could be easily solved.
Craig couldn't laugh. Although that factory doesn't have its own brand, just working for others each year can make him earn at least a few billion dollars. It really makes him unwilling to just hand it over to Evelyn like this.
But Evelyn doesn't care if he is willing or not, she directly says, "I want the factory that Dermot just mentioned."
"There's too much at stake," Craig thinks that in terms of this matter, it's not worth that high of a value.
"If you're not willing, then forget it. I can just release the surveillance video. Let's see how you'll protect Phoebe then," Evelyn doesn't care, anyway, she won't be at a loss.
Craig is infuriated by her attitude and gives her a warning look, "Evelyn, I advise you to leave yourself a way out. In case Dermot no longer protects you, then you won't even know how you died."
