Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 331: Chapter 331

"The relationship between the victim and the suspect is still unclear, but with Hayes Group's supermarket about to open, this shocking incident might have a major impact on the launch. We'll be watching closely for any updates."
Not long after, another news update came through. "Breaking news! Andrew Hayes, the former CEO of Hayes Group, is preparing to return and take back control of the company. What will happen next? Stay tuned for more updates."
Monroe couldn't shake the feeling that Stella was getting caught up in some invisible web. At the same time, he had this nagging suspicion that there was more to Anna and Andrew than met the eye.
Monroe asked a maid and learned that Anna was at home, so he hurried over right away. Not far away, he saw Andrew and Anna arguing.
Andrew shouted, "You said you had nothing to do with that doctor, Anna. Why did you do this? I worked so hard to raise you, hoping you'd marry a good person one day, but you and that doctor... Have you no shame?"
Anna shot back, "What was I supposed to do? I was so young. He tricked me and threatened me. I was too scared to go to the police or tell you.
"I had to pretend like I enjoyed it, but inside, I was miserable. What's the point of blaming me now? Didn't I already help you out?"
"But you—" Andrew started.
"Anyway, he's dead now. Talking about it won't change anything. The cops will never pin this on me, anyway," Anna said.
Monroe tuned out the rest of their conversation. Everything he'd suspected was now confirmed. He couldn't believe that the girl he was into was actually so terrifying. She killed someone, a full-grown man.
Both of them seemed to realize Monroe was there. Then Andrew shot Anna a look. Anna was shocked.
When the doctor died, Andrew immediately suspected Anna. She had no way to hide it from him, so she had no choice but to admit it. Anyway, as long as she spun any story for Andrew, he'd believe it without question.
But now that Monroe knew the truth, Anna was totally panicking inside.
Monroe walked up to the two of them and asked, "Did you kill that doctor on purpose?"
Andrew tried to speak up for Anna, but Monroe cut him off before he could say a word. He kept staring at Anna and waiting for her answer.
"Yes, I did kill him," Anna said.
Andrew stared at Anna in utter disbelief. He thought, 'How could she just confess like that in front of Monroe?'
Anna didn't even glance at Andrew, but he seemed to get the message. Without another word, he quietly walked away.
Monroe hadn't expected Anna to confess so directly. He couldn't help but look at her in a whole new light.
Anna said, "I really had no choice. Whether you believe me or not, I did it. That doctor had been treating me since I was a kid. I knew him, I depended on him, and I trusted him more than anyone.
"But I never imagined that right after I turned eighteen, he would assault me in the exam room. My parents were just outside. I wanted to fight back, but he threatened me.
"He said if I dared to tell anyone, he'd leak the video of him assaulting me. I was so young and terrified, and I couldn't do anything. Just the thought of that video getting out, of my family losing all their dignity...
"I swallowed it all and kept quiet. But I never thought my silence would only make things worse. For years, he kept abusing me, and I was too scared to tell anyone.
"Just a few days ago, he sent those videos to Stella. I was terrified she'd expose me, so I went to beg her for help, but she... she just turned her back on me..."
