Chapter 1427: Daphne Wells, Go to Hell
A night passed, and there was still no news of Claire. Rowan's heart was hollowed out with worry. Gazing at the misty rain-covered
river, his eyes were as dark and deep as an ancient well.
"Dr. Watson! The culprit responsible for harming Miss Russell is here!" Tristan's subordinate shouted at Rowan's back, dragging
Daphne Wells and quickening their pace.
Rowan turned at the sound, and through the heavy rain curtain, he saw someone pulling Daphne Wells towards him. Daphne Wells
struggled to break free, guiltily avoiding Rowan's gaze.
"Dr. Watson! It was her who pushed Miss Russell into the river!" Tristan's subordinate reported loudly, "She admitted it to Miss
Swain! Then she tried to kill her and silence her by pushing Miss Swain down as well! Fortunately, Mr. Marsh rescued her in time!"
Hearing this, Rowan froze in place, his umbrella dropping to the ground. His astonished eyes stared at Daphne Wells. Daphne Wells
was dragged over by Tristan's subordinate, soaked to the bone and shivering with cold. She had injuries on her abdomen and

"Dr. Watson! It was her who pushed Miss Russell into the river!" The subordinate shouted, filled with hatred. Surrounding police
officers rushed over.
Rowan's faith collapsed in an instant. He rushed forward, grabbed Daphne Wells by the shoulders, and gritted his teeth, asking,
"You pushed her down?! You wanted Claire to die?!"
"lI didn't! It wasn't me! It wasn't me...!" Daphne Wells didn't want to go to jail. Her courage left her as she saw the surrounding
police. "lt wasn't me!" she immediately denied, her tone unwavering, "Letgo! | didn't! Letgo!"
But Rowan seemed ready to crush her, his eyes spewing hatred and fury. "Then why are you here?!" In the pouring rain, Rowan
violently shook Daphne Wells by the shoulders, his eyes nearly mad. "I'm asking you! Where is Claire?! Daphne Wells! Where is
Claire?!"
"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me..." Daphne Wells feigned weakness, putting on her best acting performance, "I don't know,
Rowan. You can't falsely accusejust because you like her and dislike me."
"You're lying! You admitted it in front of Miss Swain!" Tristan's subordinate couldn't stand it any longer, "You even tried to kill her
and silence her by pushing her down as well!"
Daphne Wells stopped resisting. In the face of Rowan's near-mad strength, she couldn't break free. She let him shake her like a
madman, almost causing her to have a concussion.
"Daphne Wells! Go to hell!" Rowan's eyes blazed with fury as he punched her in the face, knocking her to the ground. Daphne
Wells lay heavily in the puddle of mud.
Everyone around was shocked.
Rowan grabbed her and pulled her up again. Sorrow covered his face, and his eyes shone with danger. "Does Claire's
disappearance have anything to do with you?!"

Rowan's anger pierced her heart. His gaze was like a sharp knife, stabbing Daphne Wells directly in the heart. It was Rowan's love
for Claire that pierced Daphne Wells' heart. So, she let him shake her, question her, and hate her...
Facing his gaze, which seemed to want to rip her apart, Daphne Wells' lips curled into a bitter smile. "Rowan, you'll never see her
again. Hahaha! You'll never see her again! She's already dead!"
A surge of fury erupted from the depths of Rowan's heart. "Ahh-!" He roared in pain, looking at her as his enemy. He grabbed
Daphne Wells by the collar and yanked her towards him.
His other hand clenched into a fist, and he ruthlessly punched her in the face. "Go to hell, Daphne Wells!" Rowan lost his mind,
beating her furiously and yelling at her, "Die! Die!"
The police officers watched him pummel the woman mercilessly. Their hearts ached for her, but they understood his pain and
didn't stop him.
Daphne Wells' head was nearly beaten off by Rowan. The pain was unbearable, like she was being tortured. Stars burst in her
vision, and her sight blurred with blood in her mouth.
