Chapter 949: A Family Full of Schemes
"I have evidence."
Owen Winton squinted his eyes at Zoey Sanders, his face calm, though turmoil brewed inside him.
"Evidence? What evidence do you have? Everyone just witnessed with their own eyes Wyatt Lewis stabbing Emma Winton, so what's the meaning of all of you coming out to argue? Are you saying our eyes deceived us?"
"Even what you see with your own eyes might not be true. Who dares to say they saw everything clearly in such chaos just now? Was it you? You? Or you?"
Zoey Sanders, with her head still wrapped in bandages, lifted her gaze, scanning the faces of Owen Winton, the police, and some bystanders.
Clearly, none dared to accurately respond to her.
Because there were simply too many people just now, and everything happened in an instant, making it really hard to see clearly.
Even the few police officers present didn't see clearly. If they had seen clearly, if Wyatt Lewis had maliciously stabbed Emma Winton, they wouldn't have been so polite to Wyatt Lewis but would have immediately arrested him.
Because there were still doubts, the police did not easily make arrests.
Owen Winton continued, his voice dark and filled with anger, "The knife fell from his hand, his hands were covered in blood; these are all things everyone saw with their own eyes, didn't they? For you to argue for a murderer, doesn't that indicate some ulterior motive?"
"When you judged my daughter, your words were sharp. Now that it's one of your own, you argue in a hundred different ways. Everyone saw it, yet you still don't have the courage to admit it. Is this your usual way of handling things?"
Aria Richardson coldly said, "If Wyatt truly did it, we would naturally admit it. But since he didn't, why should we confess?"
Aria Richardson stepped forward, pointing at Wyatt Lewis's injured hand, and addressed everyone present, "If he really wanted to kill Emma Winton, why would he cut his hand so badly by gripping the blade and suppressing his strength?"
"If he truly intended to kill Emma Winton, he had plenty of time and opportunity over the past two weeks. Why would he choose to act in such a public setting? Is he an idiot not to consider his future and reputation?"
"This incident started because someone maliciously caused trouble, detaining the officers to give Emma Winton the chance to rush towards us. Emma already had a knife in her hand; she deliberately dragged and scratched me, infuriating Wyatt, prompting him to push her away. Taking advantage of the moment, she grabbed Wyatt's hand and forced the dagger into his hand, stabbing herself."
"This is ridiculous," Owen Winton retorted loudly, listening to Aria Richardson, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead at some point.
"The reason you haven't acted against her these days is that she's been under police watch. You couldn't find an opportunity to attack, and precisely because Emma was always guarded in her hospital room, she couldn't have obtained a dagger."
"That's not necessarily true. You, Chairman Winton, have great influence. It's still possible to seize the chance to slip her a foldable dagger during the chaos," Wyatt Lewis squinted and said with sharp and icy words.
Owen Winton's facial expression froze for a moment, and he let out a sarcastic chuckle, "Words alone don't prove anything. Show us your so-called evidence if you have it. Let us see your proof."
Owen Winton looked at Zoey Sanders beside him.
Zoey Sanders raised her phone. Seeing the chaos here just now, she feared something serious might happen. Since she was idle upstairs, she recorded the situation on her phone.
"Take a look."
Even though Owen Winton's face remained calm, his shirt under his black suit was soaked with sweat. He clenched his fists, his gaze never daring to leave Zoey Sanders' face.
Everyone curiously looked toward Zoey Sanders' phone.
Owen Winton squinted his eyes sharply, but upon seeing the end, he let out a sneer.
"What do you think this video proves?"
"Didn't you see her own body crash into Brother Wyatt's hand?"
Because Zoey Sanders was in a VIP room on the fifteenth floor, the distance made the footage unclear. It didn't capture how Emma Winton placed the dagger into Wyatt Lewis's hand, but it did clearly show Emma Winton directly colliding with Wyatt Lewis.
"How does this prove anything? At that moment, during their tugging and pulling, why couldn't it have been that Emma Winton failed to maintain her balance and lunged forward? Does this prove Wyatt Lewis didn't attack?"
"You wicked old man, twisting words and reasoning. Your family is malicious, trying to incriminate others," Zoey Sanders's beautiful eyes were filled with anger.
"Fine, even if it's as you say, with so many reporters here, I refuse to believe not a single one captured what happened on camera."
