Keira hurriedly stopped her. "Don't say anything. Don't go against your professional ethics."
Holly paused.
Then she coughed to cover up her embarrassment. "Actually, it was okay to tell you about the recording. It had nothing to do with the case. I was just..."
She fell silent before finally admitting it. "I just wanted to make things difficult for you."
Keira didn't know what to say.
She rubbed her brow in resignation. "Well, then tell me."
Holly looked embarrassed. Her face was still serious as she spoke. "The last words were: dear niece, Connor knows the secret too. Please make sure his tuition fee is covered."
"..."
The room was quiet for a while.
Keira frowned. Even though she had guessed that Finley wouldn't leave a message about any secrets and that Connor surely knew something, she still found the message strange.
She had gone to Finley intending to pay five million to buy the secret.
If she learned the secret from Finley, why would she still have to cover Connor's tuition?
Or was it that Finley had never planned to sell her the secret?
Keira shook her head, grateful for her arrangement.
She didn't accuse Connor of being the murderer right after the crime, otherwise, she might never be able to pry the truth out of him.
Now, she would for Connor to crack under the criticism!
However, Holly was a bit worried. "Keira, don't overdo it. If he throws away his phone, you'll lose the most crucial piece of evidence, and you'll never turn this case around!"
At this, Keira frowned.
After the incident, she was taken to the police station right away and didn't get a chance to tell Samuel what needed to be done. She wondered if Connor had changed his phone...
"No, he won't."
Lewis suddenly interjected. He said calmly, "After the incident, Connor threw away his original phone and switched to an identical one. I've already retrieved the first one."
A spark flickered in Keira's eyes, and she smiled, "Impressive, Mr. Horton."
Since taking over the company, Lewis had heard countless compliments, but the straightforward praise from Keira made his cheeks slightly flushed.
He smiled slightly. "You flatter me, Miss Olsen."
Holly looked from one to the other and suddenly said, "You two are married, yet you call each other 'Mr. Horton' and 'Miss Olsen'. I first thought you weren't acquainted, but you actually seem to understand each other so well. Is this your form of displaying affection?"
"..."
The room fell quiet all of a sudden.
Keira looked away from Lewis and seemed to be blushing.
She felt fine when others addressed her as Miss Olsen, but Lewis's deep voice was like a feather lightly teasing her heart, bringing a tingling sensation...
She didn't notice Lewis's ears turning red.
...
Meanwhile, Connor had no idea what was coming for him.
Shortly after leaving the hospital, he returned to his college campus.
He happily repaid his roommates the twenty-thousand cash he borrowed.
