NovelEnglishChapter 1304: Cliff froze, struggling to understand the mixture of doubt, sadness, and disappointment in her eyes. Each emotion struck a nerve.
"Why do you ask?" In a hushed tone, Laney asked, "Did you crash into Merrick by accident?" Cliff's gaze turned cold.
"You suspect I wanted to kill him?" Laney didn't deny it.

Tears began to form in Laney's eyes as she watched him. She was left wondering if he confessed this way, and failing to understand why he did so.
Laney's emotions crumbled as she spoke in a low voice, but there was a clear sense of reprimand in her words. "How could you be so reckless? I've made it clear that Merrick and I are merely friends. If it bothers you to seeat his races, why didn't you discuss it with me? How could murder even cross your mind? Merrick is the sole son of the Acosta family. Did you consider the consequences of your actions if Merrick had met his end in that crash? Cliff, murder is a serious crime. It leads to prison. How could you even entertain the thought of killing him?" Cliff responded with cold detachment, "As you've said, murder is a crime. Do you really think I'd be foolish enough to destroy my life over a competitor?" Laney raised an eyebrow.

"You should go check on your good friend Merrick. If something happens to him, as you seem to think I caused, I couldn't escape the consequences, could I?" Laney's eyes narrowed. She stared at Cliff for a long moment.
"Cliff..." Unmoved, Cliff spoke sternly, "Leave." Silently wiping her tears, Laney stood up and walked out.
Cliff watched her leave with shaky steps. His anger continued to build, causing him to cough harshly.
Outside, the guards watching over Cliff saw Laney rushing away in tears. They felt an urge to follow her, but hesitated before turning back to open the door.
