Chapter 269
The next morning, Mareus arrived at-the company as usual, walking through the entrance with a calm expression as employees moved around the busy lobby. Nobody looking at him would have guessed that he had spent the previous night exposing a secret that had been buried for years.
He stepped into the main office area and was barely halfway toward his desk when Betty suddenly rushed toward him. Her face was filled with disbelief, and she was holding her phone tightly in one hand as though she had just received the biggest shock of her life.
“Marcus p>
He turned toward her.
Betty stopped in front of him, breathing slightly faster from hurrying over.
“Did you hear the news p>
Marcus raised an eyebrow. “What news p>
Betty stared at him for a moment before quickly unlocking her phone and showing him the screen. “They confessed. All four of them. They admitted that they killed Aaron p>
Marcus stared at the screen for a few seconds before widening his eyes. “So it’s true?.” He shook his head slowly, putting on an expression of complete surprise. “I just heard about it too. Ohhh… I can’t believe this p>
Betty nodded repeatedly, still struggling to process everything.
“I can’t believe it either. For years, everyone thought Aaron had committed suicide. There wasn’t enough evidence to prove otherwise, and suddenly, after all these years, there is a recording and a confession p>
Marcus shook his head.
“Maybe some karma finally hit them p>
Betty frowned slightly.
She looked at him for several seconds without saying anything. Something about the way Marcus had reacted made her suspicious, and she slowly leaned closer.
“Hmm p>
Marcus looked at her.
Betty lowered her voice.”Do you have anything to do with this p>

Marcus immediately scoffed. “Why would you think that p>
His expression remained innocent. “I didn’t do anything p>
Betty continued staring at him, clearly unconvinced.
“Forget it p>
She looked back at the news on her phone, and a small smile finally appeared. “I’m just happy. Finally p>
Her voice carried genuine relief.
Just then, her phone suddenly began ringing.
She looked down at the screen. The number was unfamiliar. “Hello p>
Her expression changed almost immediately.
“Yes, this is Betty p>
She listened silently.
Her eyebrows slowly pulled together.
“From the police station p>
Marcus glanced at her.
Betty’s expression became confused. “Hmm… what for p>
She listened again, her eyes moving toward Marcus. “Okay. I’ll come p>
The call ended.
Betty lowered the phone slowly and stared at the screen for a moment.
Marcus raised an eyebrow. “What happened p>
Betty looked at him. “They said I should come to the police station. They didn’t tell me the reason tho p>
Marcus nodded, and stated, “You should go, it might be something very important p>
Betty suddenly reached toward his arm. “Marcus, please come with me p>
Marcus nodded agreed.
Marcus and Betty arrived at the police station a short while later. The moment they stepped

inside, Betty looked around nervously until a uniformed officer approached them and introduced herself
“Good morning. I’m Officer Daniels,” the woman said respectfully. “Please, follow me p>
Betty nodded and followed her down the corridor, with Marcus walking quietly beside her. The officer kept glancing at them with an unusually respectful expression, as though she already knew exactly who they were.
They soon reached a small room where the head of the police station was waiting. He immediately stood when Betty entered and greeted her politely before turning toward Marcus.
“Please, have a seat p>
Betty nodded, but before she could respond, the door suddenly opened. A woman rushed inside.
Betty turned toward the sound and froze.
It was Ms. Dellinana.
Aaron’s mother stopped the moment she saw Betty standing there. Her expression changed, and she slowly lowered her hands as memories of the past flooded her mind. She had heard the news that morning.
She had heard that the four boys had confessed to killing Aaron.
And now, standing before Betty, she suddenly remembered all the years she had blamed her.
She had believed Betty was somehow responsible for her son’s death. She had carried that anger for years, never knowing that Aaron had been murdered and she always treated Betty bad for it. Her eyes filled with tears.
Before either woman could speak, a metallic sound echoed from the corridor p>
The cell gate opened.
Cory, Gabriel, Darren, and Mr. Warren were brought out by several officers.
They looked completely different from the wealthy men they had once been. Their clothes were disheveled, their faces bruised, and their bodies looked exhausted after everything they had endured.
They were stopped directly in front of Betty and Ms. Dellinana. None of them looked at Marcus.
Marcus had already warned them not to reveal that they knew him.
Ms. Dellinana stared at them. Her lips trembled as she sniffled. “You killed my son p>

Her voice cracked as tears rolled down her cheeks.
“You all did that p>
The four men looked at one another. There was no point denying it anymore. One after another, they dropped to their knees.
“We’re sorry,” Cory pleaded.
“Please forgive us,” Gabriel said, tears appearing in his eyes.
“We really did it,” Darren admitted, his voice shaking. “We are sorry p>
Betty covered her mouth as tears streamed down her face. Ms. Dellinana also cried.
Seeing the men who had once seemed untouchable now kneeling before them, miserable and broken, brought a painful sense of satisfaction. They were finally being punished for what they had done to Aaron.
“You people are wicked,” Ms. Dellinana said through her tears. “I will never forgive you p>
She shook her head firmly. “I will never forgive you for taking my son from me p>
Betty wiped her tears and looked at them. “I will never forgive you either p>
The head of the police station stepped forward.
“They were only brought here so you could see them and hear their confession. You don’t have to forgive them p>
Ms. Dellinana looked at the officers.
“I hope they all rot in jail p>
The head officer nodded.
“We will make sure they face the consequences of what they did p>
The officers immediately grabbed the four men and pulled them back toward the cells.
“Wait!” Cory cried. “Please p>
Darren kept looking around desperately, as though searching for some way to escape.
Warren remained silent, his face filled with desperation as they dragged him away.
