Xiao Juan had been tense the whole time, but she was rendered speechless by Lu Manman’s cold words.
“So, you can actually take care of Daisy?” Lu Manman asked again. When she saw that she was silent, she pressed on. “There are so many cameras in this house, and they contain videos for at least half a year. It’s not that I don’t have the time to watch them, but I just don’t want to use this method to verify the authenticity of your words. I hope you can be honest with yourself and tell us!”
“Yes,” Xiao Juan suddenly said. “I can get close to Daisy. I was afraid that Miss would be too tired taking care of Daisy alone, so I played with Daisy often and treated it sincerely. All animals have feelings. If I’m nice to it, it will naturally be nice to me.”
“Does Mo Li know that Daisy is close to you?”
Xiao Juan bit her lip.
“Alright. Actually, whether Mo Li knows that you’re able to get close to Daisy doesn’t really matter to me today. Let’s return to the topic.” Lu Manman changed the topic. “The important thing is the eight hundred thousand yuan. Eight hundred thousand yuan isn’t a small sum to you, and it might not be a huge sum to Mo Li, but I don’t believe that Mo Li would give it to you casually. Hence, I have reason to suspect that you stole Mo Li’s private bank card. You and Mo Li are so close. It won’t be surprising that you know the password to her bank card…”
“I didn’t steal anything from Miss. How could I possibly steal from her? Miss willingly gave me this sum of money!”
“Why did she give you so much at once? Didn’t you say that Mo Li would privately give you some money to make up for your family use? Why did she give it to you all at once?!”
“I said it’s because Miss wants to help with my brothers’ college, and that’s why…”
“Xiao Juan, we can call the police regarding your dishonesty,” Lu Manman said coldly. “You’d better think about it. If you go to jail, what will happen to your brothers?”
“I, I… I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I go to jail?”
“Because you stole eight hundred thousand yuan from Mo Li! Under our country’s law, you can be sentenced to at least ten years in prison!”
“I said I didn’t steal it. Miss gave it to me on her own accord. She made me, made me…” Xiao Juan was so agitated she could not say a word. Her body was trembling, and she was flabbergasted.
“She was the one who asked you to help her kill Daisy, right?” Lu Manman said very softly and calmly as if she was simply saying that the weather was nice today.
Xiao Juan looked at her with red eyes as if wondering how she knew everything.
Of course, the two elders of the Mo family were the most anxious at this point. They suddenly got off the couch, and Jiang Yuyan said angrily, “Lu Manman, what are you talking about?! How could Mo Li let Daisy be killed? She doted on it so much!”
“Mom, don’t get agitated. You can’t just look at the surface of things. Of course, I don’t think Sister is that bad, but I’ve always thought that she must have her reasons for doing this. Moreover, we’ll know if she really did it or not once we ask Xiao Juan.” Lu Manman looked at Xiao Juan again.
Jiang Yuyan swallowed her anger and looked at Xiao Juan severely. “Xiao Juan, be honest. What’s going on?!”
“Madam, I…”
“Don’t dillydally! Just say it!”
“Madam, I really don’t want to go to jail, and I don’t want to betray Miss, but the fact is…” Xiao Juan’s eyes were red from crying, and her voice was choked with sobs. “Miss suddenly came to look for me yesterday and told me that she had transferred a sum of money to my account. She told me to take good care of my brothers. I was really touched back then, and I didn’t know why Miss would suddenly give me such a huge sum of money. She just told me to help her kill Daisy and leave the Mo family’s villa from now on.”
