Chapter 331 The Unraveling Truth
Maggie, a former employee of Technologent Group, accused Abigail, the former proprietress of the group, of murder. The evidence appeared conclusive, prompting the police to visit the Hill Group residence and take Abigail, the eldest daughter of the family, into custody.
The media quickly picked up the story, with overwhelming coverage linking it to the unresolved murder case of Frey three years prior.
Frey's accusation of murder was revealed to have been a setup orchestrated by Abigail, with an anonymous surveillance tape being sent to the task force investigating the case.
As the task force dug deeper, more shocking evidence surfaced. This included details of Frey's case three years ago and the intentional injury she suffered in a women's prison where her child was forcibly removed. Videos of Frey's abuse also came to light.
Furthermore, the accidental deaths of several criminal suspects involved in the case of Frey's child, along with the fire at the Shen residence following her car accident, were all exposed.
The lengthy timeline, high death toll, and involvement of numerous wealthy families sparked widespread public outrage in Saeville.

Peyton took great care of Frey, setting up a table and a wicker chair under the tree for her to embroider cross-stitch in a festive red color.
She encouraged Frey to embroider a set of pillowcases as practice, suggesting she might need them for her future marriage.
Frey understood that Peyton was trying to distract her from the overwhelming news and public scrutiny that could drive anyone crazy.
No matter how brave you were, it was hard to withstand the relentless public opinion.noveldrama
Each news segment echoed Frey's screams of torture and displayed bloody photos and videos.
Nathaniel had negotiated with the
court to see if the trial could be
dismissed. The court agreed, but the leaked videos had already done the damage.
