You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 283

Whether she was thinking of running away or killing Greg, it all came down to the same thing.

But now, with no pregnancy, what was it all for? Everything she’d done suddenly seemed pointless.

Brandon didn’t even blink at the pain on her face. He just kept going. “You said you didn’t know Greg, but the photos prove you two met a long time ago.”

“You claimed Greg raped you and you lost the baby, but Ms. Phipps, you were never pregnant.”

“Your whole story is full of holes. We have every reason to believe this was premeditated murder.”

“I have the medical reports to prove it,” Kelly shot back, voice trembling with desperation.

“You can have your family bring them in,” Brandon answered, all business.

“And how do you explain the photos?” he pushed.

Three years they’d known each other, with plenty of contact. Pretending she didn’t know Greg was just covering something up.

“Where did those photos come from?” Kelly refused to let it go.

“Someone posted them on your college forum. Probably a student of yours.” Brandon pulled up the post and handed her his phone.

Kelly stared at the screen. Her face went completely blank.

A student claiming to know her was airing all her dirty laundry online, accusing her of unfair treatment, attaching photo after photo. Maybe they’d snapped the pictures just to vent with friends, but now those photos had turned into damning evidence.

“No matter what, he raped me. That’s the truth,” she said, her voice raw and thin.

The detective leaned back in his chair, sipping tea. “Ms. Phipps, you know there’s no such thing as ‘no evidence’ in our world.”

“Forensics always finds a way to make the dead speak.”

Kelly sat in heavy silence.

“What are you looking at? You’re smiling so hard your face might split.”

On the way back to Cloud Peak, Patricia couldn’t put her phone down. There was no way to hide her grin.

Oliver noticed and held out his hand. She passed him the phone.
