Chapter 24

Unexpected

Clara began to feel nervous but as time passed she began to get calm and soon she began to notice various things .

She knew that old lady would be soon caught since she has left the fingerprints on the knife but luckily she was smart and used her kerchief to leave no trace of her .

But she was worried about two things !

She didn't know whether George really ate the food and she was also worried of the old lady !

She didn't know why she wanted to kill George and she had no trust in that women .

If she get caught then Clara would be soon selled out too . She didn't want to get caught since she has a younger sister to take care so she decided to kill the old women too but first she wanted to make sure that George has taken the poisoned food .

She left the room and went towards George room . She wanted to check on him so she was looking outside of his room , listening to any sounds but suddenly the door was opened and George pulled her inside.

This frightened her but soon she began to act like she was interested in him , she had a knife hid inside her clothes so she thought of killing him immediately .

So In order to distract him , she began to undress which made George got attracted to her body .

She began to reach for her dress but John and Austin barged in the room , ruining the chance . She acted like she was in panic and immediately left there but inside her heart was very calm .

She saw the empty plate in the room and she knew that George has took the food so she has to only wait for the poison to act .

So she waited patiently and in the hallway, George was finally dead from the poision .

She was very happy inside but outside she acted like everyone else .

But something happened , Austin began to doubt on her , she heard John and Austin conversation in the first floor ! She felt like he was talking to her directly!

She began to get scared when he said

"I saw everything!"

She knew that she must have been found out by Austin but she didn't know how !

In fear and shock, She now began her second plan to kill the women and make it looke like a suicide. Soon she also succeeded in that too .

After that she went to Austin room and attacked him , when she saw him on the floor bleeding, she immediately ran away to her room since she want afraid of anyone noticing her .

Since George has gone , only Austin left in the second floor. This confidence made her careless and a mistake occurred!

That supposed to be dead Austin was never hurt to begin with and she never expected it .

She knew when she striked at him , she would be caught but she had hopes that she would take her sister and leave this city !

She planned to escape with her sister !

Clara wanted just a distraction so that's why she wanted to Austin and she killed the old women because she wanted to buy some time .

But everything changed.....

.....

Back to present !

Liam and everyone finally learnt the truth !

So this is what happened!

That's who the cook was killed !

George and the old lady.....

Liam suddenly asked her

"Why would the old women want to kill George ?"

Clara shook her head and said

"I don't know.....she never said the reason to me ! All I know is that she also had deep hatred like me !"

Everyone had complicated emotions now .

So Clara played us all fools .....

John looked at Clara and said sincerely

"Clara it's enough! .....just surrender! There is still chance for you.....think about your younger sister ! Who will take care of her !"

Clara shook slightly hearing this and her head beacme a mess !

John couldn't help but ask Liam

"Officer , what would her punishment be ?"

Liam was looking at her and said to John

"Since George was killed by the old women ...she will only be charged for killing the old women and the cook will be a half murder case .....attempted murder case -"

Austin stopped him

"Officer ! She is talking nonsense and I never said about filing a case to her ! So leave that thing aside !"

Clara looked at Austin in shock while everyone looked at him strangely.

This guy ...!

Liam asked again

"Are you sure ?"

Austin nodded !

Liam looked at Clara and said

"....then I can forget about you threatening me .....and most you would get ten year punishment ....but if you hire a best lawer then you can reduce it to half ..."

Clara eyes shone but she hesitated.

Getting a best lawyer.....she didn't have that capability .

John spoke

"Leave that thing to me !"

Clara looked at him in shock

"You...."

John smiled and said confidently

"Don't worry ! I will hire the best lawyer in this city and don't worry I will take care of your sister till you get released..."

Clara lowered the gun and asked strangely

"Why..."

John smiled and said

"Cause I loved you ....and I will be waiting for you ! Clara it's enough!"

Hearing his words , Clara dropped the gun and fell to the floor while shedding tears .

Liam took the gun and said to John

"Not bad kid !"

Austin patted John shoulder while saying

"You truly a good person....I mean good kid !"

John was speechless!

Why are you all calling me kid !

The case was finally over...

Everyone relaxed and suddenly a door room opened and tim could be seen coming from the room.

Marcel seeing him immediately asked in anger

"Where have you gone to !"

Tim was shocked seeing everyone was looking at him in anger !

He scratched his head and said

"I ate too much food this morning so I got a loose stomach so I went to washroom boss ...."

As he said , a unpleasant smell and a sound could be heard from him .

He froze for a second and immediately gave a smile at everyone.

"I....."

Everyone immediately said in union!

"Get lost from here !..."

He immediately went towards the rooms and locked the door .
