Chapter 467
Mrs. Mendes hesitated before continuing. "After Tina jumped, | was terrified—I didn't know what to do except cry.
Then she appeared. She said she would helpget justice. She planned everything-what to say, what to do.
She was clearly helping me... Are you saying she's the one who killed my daughter?"
Sarah could see right through Mrs. Mendes's thoughts—all she cared about was
the money.
Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Sarah spoke again. "Mrs. Mendes, your daughter might have been killed
by her. Worse, she might have been pushed off that rooftop while she was still alive. Do you still think she was
helping you?"
"That's impossible!" The words pushed off the rooftop were too horrifying. She didn't even dare to imagine it.
She had never been a loving mother to Tina, but that was still her child. A living, breathing person.
The thought of Tina standing on that rooftop, terrified and helpless, made her stomach twist. Even if she had
yelled at Tina that day, she didn't believe her daughter had truly lost all hope.
"Believe it or not, your daughter is gone. You've held her photo in your arms for days. Even if that woman didn't
physically push her, she must have played a part in her death. So tellwhat did she say to you? What did she
give you?" Sarah's voice was firm, pressing for the truth.
Mrs. Mendes's eyes turned red. For the first time, she felt real grief.
A deep, aching sadness from the depths of her heart.
But after a long pause, she closed her eyes and forced herself to say, "I don't know."

Sarah felt as if all her strength had drained from her body. "You do know. Tell me."
"Why do you keep pushing me? | told you-I don't know! My daughter died because of you!"
Disappointment filled Sarah's eyes. Without hesitation, she grabbed Mrs. Mendes's wrist and dragged her to
Tina's photo.
"Look at your daughter. Look into her eyes and tellagain that you know nothing!" Sarah's voice was sharp,
relentless. "I'm telling you your daughter might have been murdered! And you still won't speak?"
Mrs. Mendes averted her gaze, her voice tinged with guilt. "I don't know anything about what you're saying. And
don't think tellingall this will clear your name. If you keep pushing me, I'll call the police!"
"Go ahead!" Sarah shoved her phone into Mrs. Mendes's hands. "Call them."
Mrs. Mendes felt as if Sarah had gone completely mad. "Get out! Don't ever cback! | won't give up on the
compensation!"
Sarah was forcibly thrown out of the apartment.
At the very least, she had found a breakthrough.
