Chapter 952
Before Genevieve could speak, Rebecca had wrapped her arms around her. “You can do it right here. I'm her
cousin.”
The two bodyguards were shocked by her words, and so, too, was Evan's aunt.
The Zeigler family's grandchildren all kept a low profile in their daily lives. However, they were all in Baykeep, and
the children of the rich and influential families were all from the same circle. Hence, the bodyguards recognized
Rebecca.
Despite that, they were confused by Rebecca's claims about her being Genevieve's cousin.
Seeing how Rebecca was protecting Genevieve, and because Rebecca was Felix's daughter, the bodyguards could
not forcefully take Genevieve away with them.
“Ms. Rachford, did you see anyone on your way to the restroom?”
After all, from the surveillance footage, they saw Genevieve walking out of the room and heading toward the
restroom a few seconds before the blackout.
However, when the power supply cut off, the surveillance cameras went out as well, right when she was still in the

Meanwhile, the stinging pain on her forehead had Genevieve trying to rub her head. However, she was quickly
stopped by Rebecca. Upon hearing the bodyguards' question, she replied, “No, I didn't see anyone. I was already at
the entrance of the toilet when the power went out. I finished everything in the dark, and I was not afraid at all. At
least, not until a shriek rang out.”
“You didn't even hear any footsteps?” The bodyguards were unconvinced, for one had to pass by Charice's room to
enter the restroom.
Genevieve gave it a thought and replied, “I can't remember.”
At the same time, the bodyguards' cold and unflinching gaze locked on Genevieve.
“What's the meaning of this? You think she's the murderer?” Rebecca found it absurdly hilarious. “The murderer
must be familiar with the layout around here to be able to commit the murder so quickly. Today, however, is our
first time visiting this place.”
Rebecca then lifted Genevieve's hands and showed them to the bodyguards. “You're a bodyguard, so you should
know that the hands of a person that uses a gun all the time have calluses all over. But do you see any on her
hands?”
Genevieve's hands were silky smooth and fair. There was not even a single callus on her hands.
At the same time, another man entered the room and showed his phone to the bodyguards. “I just got my hands on
the surveillance footage of the hallway near the restroom.”
From the footage, Genevieve was seen walking toward the restroom, and power was cut off when she was almost
at the restroom entrance.
Though everything was just as Genevieve said, it was still possible that she could have doubled back to murder
Charice.
However, the bodyguards quickly discarded this idea. This was because Genevieve's hands had no calluses, which
meant that she had never used a gun before. Besides, the gun had been fired at close range to Charice, which
meant the blood would stain Genevieve's clothes if she had been the culprit.
Even if she changed into a new set of clothes, there would still be the smell of blood on her, which the bodyguards
did not detect right now.
“I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.” After learning everything they needed to know, the bodyguards left.
In the meantime, Rebecca, who could feel Genevieve trembling, comforted her, “Mrs. Hompton's murder is not a
minor accident, so, naturally, they needed to investigate thoroughly. It's fine now.”
The duo then changed into a new set of clothes and left the beauty salon.
Despite the beauty salon and the bodyguards' best efforts to cover it up, word about the murder of Nigel's wife
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmspread quickly on social media.
When Rebecca and Genevieve returned to the Zeigler residence, Herbert had already seen it on the news.
After learning that Genevieve was interrogated and deemed a suspect by the bodyguards, the old man was furious.
Fortunately, he quickly regained his cool after learning that the bodyguards did not harm Genevieve as they merely
asked her some questions. Otherwise, he would never let them off for bullying his granddaughter.
Herbert quickly had his private doctor deal with the injury on Genevieve's forehead. After the wound was treated,
Genevieve returned to her room after telling them she was tired and needed rest.
The moment she entered her room, her phone rang again.
Genevieve glanced at her phone, and after seeing the caller, she pursed her lips. After shutting her door, she
accepted the call.
A man's voice laughed before praising, “To be able to kill Mrs. Hompton in two minutes during your first visit to that
beauty salon? Whoa. You're really amazing, Genevieve!”
Genevieve bit her lower lip hard, suppressing her urge to curse. “I've already done what you wanted me to do.
You'd better keep your promise.”
“Don't worry, Genevieve. I'm a person that always plays by the rules.” Harry laughed.
After that, he put the phone closer to his lips and asked softly, “How did it feel to kill someone for the first time?
Welcome to hell, Genevieve.”
