Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013: Admit Guilt_1 Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013: Admit Guilt_1 The prison guard immediately unlocked Jane McCain’s handcuffs on the spot.

Jane stared blankly at her wrists, then looked at Purple Summers, first in a daze and then in disbelief.

The charges were dropped.

She didn’t need to wait for the court hearing to be over; she was already innocent.

Jane McCain had gained her freedom.

Ruby Spencer wrapped her daughter in a tight embrace, overcome with emotion, while Purple Summers, Zara Jameson, and Aria Jackson also crowded around.

Everyone was so happy.

“Thank you so much!” Jane looked at her friends, struggling to express her gratitude, and suddenly hugged Purple Summers by the neck and planted a firm kiss on her cheek!

“Purple, thank you!”

Purple Summers laughed out loud.

Jane then hugged Aria Jackson and kissed her on the face!

“Sister Aria, thank you!”

Zara Jameson was not left out, receiving a kiss from Jane, who said between tears and laughter, “I didn’t really help much.”

“Just sitting there supporting me, you’ve helped me a lot!” Jane said.

Aria Jackson promptly teased, “Allen Rivera contributed the most, his efforts are indispensable.”

Prosecutors Allen Rivera and Ian Conner stood not far away, watching this scene unfold.

Jane happily ran up to them.

Allen Rivera raised an eyebrow, faintly anticipating what was coming. He hesitated about whether to dodge but was a step too late and was caught by Jane who planted a kiss on his face!

–It was nothing to do with romantic affection, just playful teasing among friends and the release of pent-up emotions. Jane often interacted with foreigners, so a peck on the cheek was no big deal.

Allen Rivera felt quite uncomfortable though, his emotions inexplicably aflutter.

“Eh…” After kissing him, Jane looked puzzled and smacked her lips, “Allen Rivera, your face… why does it seem sour?”

Allen Rivera: “…”

Ian Conner, standing beside Allen Rivera, instinctively sniffed and wore a complex expression as he quietly covered his nose.

Allen Rivera awkwardly said, “I accidentally got splashed with water on the way here.”

Purple Summers and Aria Jackson burst into laughter!

“Allen Rivera! Your face is red!” Aria Jackson laughed the hardest, having worked together for years, it was the first time she saw a poker face change, which was truly rare.

“I’ll be going now, need to wash up.” The blush was only momentary; Allen Rivera’s expression quickly returned to its usual seriousness.

“Remember to come for dinner after you’re done!” Aria Jackson called out to him, “Jane McCain is treating us; it’s a send-off party for everyone, lifting the bad luck away!”

Jane’s return to her country was originally to joyfully get married, but then her husband became a murderer, and she herself was mistaken for a killer–truly unlucky.

Ruby Spencer held a small gathering at home, inviting the few people who had worked hard on the case. Everyone relaxed and enjoyed the food and drink, unwinding from the tension that had persisted for several days.

As the gathering was drawing to a close, Allen Rivera finally showed up.

His clothes immaculate, his hair clean and fresh.

Aria Jackson teased him, “You took forever to wash! You’re not making up your face in front of a mirror!”

Allen Rivera replied with his characteristic formality, “I made a trip to the police station, that’s why I’m late. Dion Benson has confessed.”

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

“That was quick…” Purple Summers murmured. She had thought the guy would put up a struggle.

“Zane Matthew, also known as Philly, was hospitalized for a month. During and after his hospitalization, all the bills–for follow-up visits and medications–were charged to Dion Benson’s credit card,” explained Allen Rivera. “Dion Benson couldn’t conceal the relationship between them, so he had no choice but to confess.”

“Then why did he commit murder?” Jane asked. “Did those brothers offend him?”

Allen Rivera was silent.

Everyone looked at him, waiting for an answer.

With no other option, Allen Rivera said, “Dion Benson and Philly were in a romantic relationship, and they had an argument that led to Dion accidentally killing Philly. Later, Philly’s older brother, Kyle Matthew, came looking for him. The brothers looked very similar, and perhaps due to a transference of feelings, Dion grew fond of Kyle. However, their relationship did not last long before Kyle realized something was amiss. In order not to be exposed, Dion reverted to old methods and killed Kyle.”
