Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 22: Prove my guilt

Sheriff Chandler saw the situation and knew that there was definitely a problem, and he wouldn't agree to Mrs. Sanders' request, and he immediately said, "Okay, no problem, but you promised to Don't forget what you said."

As soon as he said these words, Mrs. Lawrence's face turned pale in an instant, but Mrs. Sanders remained expressionless: "Don't worry, I will never break my word."

Sheriff Chandler nodded with satisfaction, nodded to several police officers, and walked out of the church. Evan followed him out. Although Mrs. Sanders did not ask for it, Evan walked out of the church. The text will still look people.

No one knows what Mrs. Sanders and Mrs. Lawrence said. Evan and Sheriff Chandler stayed at the church door for about an hour before Mrs. Sanders came out with a pale face , followed by Mrs. Lawrence, whose face was even more ugly.

Mrs. Sanders barely glanced at Mrs. Lawrence, turned around and walked to Mr. Chandler's side, Mr. Chandler hurriedly held her right hand and took care of her with a worried look.

Sheriff Chandler looked at Mrs. Sanders excitedly and said, "Madam, what you promised should be fulfilled at this time."

Mrs. Sanders nodded and was about to open her mouth when Mrs. Lawrence suddenly said, "I did it."

Her language is cold and short, without a trace of emotion.

It's nothing like her usual dramatization.

Sheriff Chandler was stunned for a while: "What did you say?" he asked.

"I did it," Mrs. Lawrence looked at Sheriff Chandler, her eyes calm: "It was indeed me who killed John, Sheriff Chandler."

Sheriff Chandler instantly put a smile on his face, ignored Mrs. Sanders, and walked directly to Mrs. Lawrence: "You finally pleaded guilty, to be honest, relying only on the evidence I have, It is enough to send you to the gallows, but out of respect for your husband, I am willing to let you admit it yourself, so please forgive me, why did you do such a thing? John is your son. !”

Mrs. Lawrence's face twitched for a moment: "He's not my son."

Sergeant Chandler looked at Mrs. Lawrence in astonishment.

"He did not follow my advice to get engaged to Miss Catherine, and repeatedly went against my will. When I was arguing with him, I lost my hand and caused such a result." Mrs. Lawrence finished her words without wavering her ears. The words almost seemed a little cold, and Mrs. Sanders had been crying and slumped in Mr. Chandler's arms.

Sheriff Chandler watched this bizarre scene. He was very smart and didn't say anything. If there are some secrets, let him keep a secret attitude. This town can't stand any more blows.

Sheriff Chandler finally left with an indifferent Mrs. Lawrence.

Looking at their backs, Evan's expression was a little incredible: "she...how could..."

Mrs. Sanders sneered: "I have done a lot of bad things, and of course there will be a day when I can't bear it. God blesses Derainlier, and at the same time will not let this vicious woman go."

Evan looked back at Mrs. Sanders in surprise. He had never seen Mrs. Sanders with such mean words. It seems that a mother's love for her child can indeed change a person.

Evan has long speculated about Mrs. Sanders' secret, the low weeping in front of the Virgin Mary after the Lawrence's banquet, the illness she suffered after John's death, the loss of life she said, all made Evan suspected that the little John, who was loved by the Lawrence and his wife, was related to Mrs. Sanders. Now it seems that he is indeed right. Mrs. Sanders is little John's biological mother.

As for Mrs. Lawrence...

Looking in the direction where Sheriff Chandler was leaving, Evan sighed. A woman can do anything if she finds out that her husband is unfaithful to her, even if she has raised a child for so long.

Mrs. Sanders was helped away by Mr. Chandler again, and Evan also turned around and entered the church. He also had a lot of emotion in his heart about today's events.

The news of Mrs. Lawrence's confession spread the next day, and the entire town of Derainier was caught in the whirlpool of rumors. At this time, the Lawrence family stood on the cusp of the storm.

At this time, Evan welcomed Mr. Lawrence's visit. He was no longer as bright as before. His clothes were a little wrinkled, and his neat black hair was long gone. Bai Bai, the whole person looks like he is ten years older, and his eyes are full of mourning.

He was already short and completely stooped. He looked at Evan and said in a low voice, "Pastor Bruce, Sheriff Chandler has completely stopped seeing me now, can you tell him for me? One, Mary she... she..." Mr. Lawrence was almost speechless, he buried his face in his hands, and big drops of turbid tears flowed down his fingers.

Evan looked at Mr. Lawrence and really didn't know what to say. Finally, he sighed and whispered, "You go back first, Sheriff Chandler knows what to do."

Mr. Lawrence bowed his head, not looking at Evan at all, only a faint sob.

Evan closed his mouth in embarrassment. After a long time, Mr. Lawrence finally raised his head with a trace of tears on his face. He looked at Evan with some despair, and suddenly said: "God will not reject Mary. Outside, isn't it, Reverend Bruce?" Mary was Mrs. Lawrence's name.

Evan paused for a while, and finally nodded: "The merciful God will not reject any lost soul."

Mr. Lawrence seems to have seized a chance and clasped Evan's hands tightly: "Mr. Pastor, is what you said true?"

Evan frowned and tried to pull his hand out, but in the end did nothing and nodded.

Mr. Lawrence relaxed, he nodded to Evan gratefully, and left the church.

Looking at the back of Mr. Lawrence, Evan frowned slightly and said nothing.

When this matter was resolved, Evan's eyes returned to Duke Wilson. The impact of the last incident on him was too great. He had to know what Dr. Hester said before he could. The attitude of Duke Wilson changed.

Just before Evan could take action, Dr. Hester invited Evan to his house the next morning.

Evan was very surprised. Although he had an intersection with Dr. Hester before, he did not have any deep friendship. Dr. Hester's sudden invitation made many thoughts in his mind.

Although Evan had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he still arrived at Dr. Hester's house on time. Dr. Hester was very happy with Evan's arrival. He even took out silver cutlery to entertain Evan. .

Evan was a little flattered. The bottle of red wine he brought at random seemed to be inferior.

Dr. Hester was not surprised at all. He welcomed Evan in with a very enthusiastic attitude. Arya also came out of the living room, dressed very formally, wearing a light green skirt, which complemented her White skin and red lips, the more attractive.

Seeing Evan coming in, Arya saluted very reservedly, Evan smiled and nodded, the relationship between the two is really gentle.

Dr. Hester stood on the side and smiled very happily, he stretched out his hand towards Evan: "Pastor Bruce, please take a seat, it's great that you can come today, Arya has been looking forward to it. You're here." After speaking, he felt something was wrong, and hurriedly added: "Of course, and me."

Evan's original smile suddenly froze. He is not a stunner, and he can even be regarded as a battle-hardened man. If Dr. Hester's words can be considered explicit, if he can't hear the overtones , then he's really an idiot.

Alia lowered her head blushing, gently tugged at the corner of Dr. Hester's shirt, and whispered, "Father, it's time to invite Pastor Bruce to dinner."

Dr. Hester laughed more and more happily: "Pastor Bruce, I'm so sorry, or what Arya said, please sit down, Arya has prepared a very rich dinner today."

Evan looked at Dr. Hester and sat down slowly. He now finally understood the meaning of Dr. Hester's weird smile at the time. He wanted to match himself and Arya.

Evan thought this was a bit absurd, but at the same time he was also a little bit of cosmic joy. Was this what Dr. Hester said to Duke Wilson that day? If so, if Duke Wilson insisted on letting him go, does it mean that he did not agree with himself and Arya either.

Evan suddenly felt that Dr. Hester was too cute.

It can be seen that the dinner was carefully prepared. Dr. Hester kept trying to adjust the atmosphere before Evan and Arya, but Evan was obviously inattentive, and Arya was not very cooperative, even if Dr. Hester tried his best, but failed to make the relationship between the two men half-hearted.

The last three people finished their meal without embarrassment. Dr. Hester sent Evan out of the house with obvious annoyance, but Evan was full of relief. He walked out of Dr. Hester's house briskly. In my mind, I quickly came up with new ideas for future plans.

Looking at today's situation, Arya is a little reluctant. In fact, this is normal. This book was originally about Arya and the Duke's feelings. There is the beginning and the end, and looking at the expressions of Arya when she faced the duke a few times before, it can be seen that she may have feelings for the duke in her heart.

Evan walks in the darkness, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. Across the cold night, he is like a loner walking between black and white. He looks at the road ahead, but there is no trace in his heart. Even if he has feelings, he will never give up the golden backer of the Duke no matter what.
