Chapter 371 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets
Michelle kept calling Doctor Darren, but no one picked up the phone. She looked at Jared helplessly and said, “Jared, I guess he has forgotten to bring his phone. It’s also possible that he has seen the news about us and is afraid of getting into trouble, so he’s not answering our calls.” Jared said with a long face, “It is fine if he is just afraid of getting into trouble. What worries me is that the police might have talked to him.” He was very confident before, but after Craig was taken away by the police, he began to panic. Michelle was also a little worried. “That can’t be, right? We specially asked him to come over at night. I also sent the servants away. No one knows we met him except our own people.” “Mm,” Jared responded coldly. Craig had also thought that nothing would go wrong. But in the end, he was still captured by the police. Suddenly, Jared thought of something. He took his jacket and headed outside. Michelle immediately asked, “Jared, where are you going? She was on edge because her husband had just come back from the hospital and he was going out again.
“Police station,” Jared replied. “What are you going to do?” Michelle was afraid that Jared was going to make a confession. She hurriedly pulled him back. “Jared, things might not be as bad as we thought. No matter what, we can’t turn ourselves in.” “Am I that stupid? I’m going there to see Craig,” Jared said irritably. “Oh, I see. Go quickly then. Go!” Michelle urged. Jared went to the police station, trying to get his assistant out. But after making some queries, he learned that Craig was in the interview room and he was not allowed to see him. So, he immediately contacted an old friend at the police station. His old friend told him that the case was handled by his nemesis, Caleb Leigh, and his hands were tied. Jared had no choice but to wait.
He asked the driver to park the car outside the police station and wait in the car. He checked his phone while waiting. The news about the Blake family had drawn widespread attention. Almost all the newspapers in Jadeboroug were reporting them. Just like before, the public was split into two groups. Some supported Jared, while others condemn him fiercely. As he was reading the news, his phone
suddenly beeped. It was a notification about a piece of updated news. He immediately clicked on it. Jadeborough’s largest media outlet released a video. In the video, Craig was depositing cash at the bank counter with Owen. Their faces could be seen clearly. The reporter even circled their faces and indicated that one was Craig Ashworth, Jared Blake’s executive assistant and the other was Owen Scott, the drugstore employee.
In addition to that, the reporter also wrote that Lucy, Madam Blake’s personal servant, had been going to the drugstore to buy medicine from Owen. After the news came out, the comments section exploded. “Holy shit, this is too much for me to take. It is so terrible. What else can I say? It must be because Jared saw that Preston had regained his memory. He was afraid that Madam Blake would hand over Blake Corporation to Preston, so he couldn’t wait to get rid of the old lady. Madam Blake needs to take medicine regularly. It thus gave Jared an idea to ask the drugstore employee to tamper with the medicine.” “It’s possible that he’s tried other tricks, such as directly swapping the medicine at home. But maybe the people around Madam Blake were very meticulous. He didn’t have a chance to do it. Therefore, he asked someone from the drugstore to tamper with the medicine when filling the prescription.” “Yes, that’s what I thought too.” “This is horrible. Maybe it wasn’t an accident that Preston got hit by a car back then.
Someone had planned it.” “It’s very likely. Also, Preston’s mother passed away at a young age. I wonder if she really died of illness or she was murdered.” “Wealthy families are terrifying.” “That’s right. So much has happened to them recently.” “I hope the police can find the real culprit soon!” Jared looked at the news and immediately ordered the driver to drive him home. Things were looking very bad for him. The drugstore employee and his assistant had been exposed. Perhaps the police had also found Doctor Darren. He could not figure out why Preston had suddenly become so smart and resourceful. But no matter what, he had to think of a way to protect himself now. In a short while, Jared reached home. As soon as he entered the house, Michelle asked anxiously, “Jared, how was it? Did you get to see Craig?” A Jared’s face darkened. “No, I didn’t.”Michelle’s face dropped. “There’s updated news. Have you seen it? How did they find out?” “Preston isn’t who he used to be,” Jared
remarked. “What should we do then?” Michelle was at a loss. When she was fighting Selena in the past, she had her children and Jared on her side, so she had nothing to be afraid of. She often showed up in front of Selena to piss her off. And she would purposely send Selena photos of her with Jared. She didn’t break the law or commit any crime.
She just did things to upset Selena from time to time, but it eventually killed Selena. Jared glanced at Michelle and said with a frown, “Let’s wait and see.” Since he didn’t have a better idea, he would assess the situation first. If there was really no way out, he could only sacrifice Michelle. Over at Preston’s side. His hacker friend had been hacking all the way to the truth. He found out that Jared’s assistant, Craig, had given money to Owen. And Owen’s girlfriend had been showing off luxury items on social media after 400 thousand dollars was deposited into her account. Apart from that, he hacked into Michelle’s bank account and discovered that she had recently withdrawn a large sum of money. Michelle also contacted an old traditional medicine doctor whose surname was Darren. He then hacked into the surveillance camera along the road the old traditional medicine doctor had traveled and learned that he was going to Jared’s villa. In the age of big data, there was no secret. He aimed at the doctor and found out that he had sold 70 to 80 gold bricks in the past two days. It was very suspicious that an old traditional medicine doctor sold such a large number of gold bricks.
The police first arrested Owen, then Craig and the old traditional medicine doctor. At first, Owen was very calm in the interview room. But when the police showed him his girlfriend’s Instagram posts, he was stunned. He had clearly told his girlfriend not to touch the money first. It was ill-gotten wealth. They had to wait until everything blew over to use the money. Otherwise, they might go to jail. His girlfriend had also promised him that she wouldn’t touch the money, saying that they could save it for their wedding and house. Unexpectedly, not only did she spend the money on luxury goods, but she also posted them on Instagram and blocked only him. Owen cursed in his mind, “What the hell.” He denied his relationship with his girlfriend. However, the police pulled out a bunch of photos of him taken with his girlfriend. They also showed him the video of him depositing the money with Craig and the time
when the cash was credited into his girlfriend’s account. All the dots were connected. With more and more evidence presented to him, Owen couldn’t deny it anymore. He had no choice but to admit that he had indeed taken the money to help swap the medicine. In another interview room, Jared’s assistant, Craig, was in a similar situation. Having been working for Jared for a few decades, he was a shrewd veteran in the business world. At first, he also denied that he had asked Owen to tamper with the medicine.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
