Chapter 79 Her True Colors
Laurel was well aware of what consequences Jasmine’s words would bring.
She was also well aware that her current behavior would ruin all the good impression she had made on
the Gilbert family.
But…
She lived another life.
She never thought about suffering again.
Not even a little bit.
She said, “I am not trying to prove my innocence because it is not necessary. I know none of you will
believe that Pamela’s death has nothing to do with me. I just want to tell everyone who is actually
responsible for Pamela’s death, and this matter is not that important to me, but it is important to all of
you.”
Although Marlene didn’t say anything, there was already a hint of impatience on her face.
She always thought that Laurel was genuine, kind, and virtuous.
Her son married Laurel, and she wholeheartedly accepted her. Besides, their family didn’t have so
many rules and regulations, and they always advocated freedom in love, without interfering too much in
the younger generation’s relationships. As long as it was someone her child liked, once

they entered the Gilbert family, she treated them as her own child.
Even Jasmine, whom she had never really liked, she could still force herself to accept with friendliness.
However, Marlene had no good feelings towards Laurel at that moment, and even felt a bit repulsed by
her.
Laurel observed Marlene’s emotional changes and calmly continued, “This matter is related to Tina.”
“What does it mean?” Jerri, who is usually more cheerful, quickly asked when she heard Laurel say
that.
“Pamela’s death was related to Tina,” Laurel repeated and revealed the truth directly, “It was Tina who
killed Pamela.”
“What are you talking about!” Marlene couldn’t control herself anymore. “Tina likes Pamela so much,
how could she possibly harm her? Laurel, I really like you and I know you’re feeling wronged in this
situation. I feel guilty too, but if you keep intentionally stirring up trouble like this, I will truly be angry.”
“I had evidence.” Laurel appeared much calmer in response to Marlene’s anger.
Marlene looked at Laurel.
Laurel shouted towards a corner of the hall, “Fiona, come
out.”
Fiona timidly walked out.
“Fiona, please tell everyone about what happened,” Laurel said gently.
Fiona, however, was still startled as usual.

She kept trembling.
Everyone was looking at Fiona.
They all felt a bit puzzled.

Fiona suddenly dropped to her knees in front of everyone and exclaimed, “It was me. It was me who
killed Pamela!”
Everyone was shocked.
Marlene was the first to react and she shouted at Fiona, “Why did you kill Pamela? You knew she was
Tina’s favorite pet! Why would you harm her? Hasn’t the Gilbert family been good enough to you? We
know your family is struggling, and we even secretly give you some money from time to time to help
with your household expenses. And yet, you would do such a thing!”
“Madam, it wasn’t my intention, truly it wasn’t me. I have always known that everyone in the family has
been very kind to me. I am willing to do anything to repay you all,” Fiona said, crying. “It was Ms.
Gilbert who asked me to kill Pamela.”
“Nonsense!” Phillip exclaimed angrily at that moment. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He couldn’t fully accept his beloved daughter being slandered like this.
He slapped the coffee table in front of him hard, looking extremely angry.
Fiona’s face turned pale with fright.
She couldn’t say a word for half a day.
“What kind of person is Tina, I still don’t know? How dare you

slander her like this! You don’t need to work for the Gilbert family anymore. Get out immediately!”
Phillip shouted loudly.
No one else dared to speak either.
After all these years, since Phillip stepped back to the second line, they had never seen him lose his
temper like this.
“Sir, I didn’t lie, I really didn’t lie. It was Ms. Gilbert who told me to do so, really…” Fiona kept crying and
shouting.
Phillip didn’t listen at all.
No one listened.
No one would believe that Tina would do such a thing.
So at that moment, Jasmine sarcastically said, “Laurel, your can come up with anything just to clear
your name. You even -conspired with the maid to lie for you. Not only did you lie,
but you also pinned it on Tina. You are even more despicable than I thought.”
Laurel stared at Jasmine and said, “Are you afraid that cleared my name? Is your ego unable to handle
it? After all, back then, you had a lot of trouble to deal with.”
“You!” Jasmine exclaimed, her body trembling with anger.
Laurel didn’t even look at Jasmine. She turned to Marlene, who was clearly already angry, and said,
“Marlene, I know it’s. hard for you all to believe this. I didn’t want to say it in the first place, but I feel like
if I don’t speak up, I’m really hurting. Tina.”
“What evidence do you have, after all?!” Marlene’s tone turned much colder, as if she didn’t want to
waste any more

words with Laurel.
Laurel walked up to Fiona and said, “You brought out the
evidence.”
Fiona seemed to still have some hesitation.

When Fiona caught sight of Laurel’s gaze, at that moment, she finally made up her mind.
She said, “Last night, before Ms. Gilbert went to bed, she suddenly asked me to kill Pamela. She didn’t
tell me why she wanted me to do it, just instructed me to kill Pamela and throw her into the backyard
pool without anyone knowing. She also asked me to bring the body to her room the next day. I actually
refused, but Ms. Gilbert insisted. She didn’t seem like she was joking. And she threatened to kick me
out if I didn’t comply. I compromised for the sake of my job…”
“Where is the evidence?” Jasmine asked coldly.
Fiona glanced at Jasmine with a hint of fright. Fiona was. already in a state of fear, and being suddenly
interrupted, she didn’t know what to say next.
Laurel’s face changed slightly, “Although she is a ser vant, please show her some respect and wait for
her to finish speaking.”
Jasmine’s face looked extremely unpleasant.
Was Laurel mocking her lack of respect for the ser vants?
Okay.
She wanted to see what tricks Laurel could come up with!

Yesterday, she warned Laurel to be careful of Tina, that little bitch. She was just casually mentioning it,
waiting to see Laurel’s joke.
The average person was really no match for Tina!
“Fiona, continue,” Laurel gently reminded.
Fiona nodded and said again, “Although I compromised, I still have a lot of doubts. I really don’t know
why Ms. Gilbert wanted to kill Pamela. Clearly, Pamela didn’t do anything wrong. It couldn’t be because
Pamela scratched Mr. Hayden. that Ms. Gilbert would treat Pamela like this. With so many questions
and uncertainties, I’m worried that what Ms. Gilbert said last night was just a fit of anger. If I really killed
Pamela, I won’t be able to explain it clearly if Ms. Gilbert investigates in the future. So, before I
prepared to kill Pamela, I went to Ms. Gilbert’s room again to confirm with her and left our recording
behind.”
