Chapter 344
Third People's POV
At noon, the sun hid in the clouds and the sky was dark as if there would be a blizzard at any time.
Emily paced back and forth in the room uneasily. She had someone keep an eye on the development of the accident. She didn't expect that the accident would end in just a few days. The family of the deceased accepted Blake's large sum of compensation. The man she picked was still held at the police station. Thus, Emily felt as if she was waiting for the coming of death. She felt sadder day by day.
The man had received 100,000 from Emily. Emily believed that she would be investigated soon. However, she didn't understand why the police hadn't called her yet.
This matter had already come to an end.
On the night that the man was arrested, he confessed everything. The police found out that the man had several bank accounts. Although he received the money in batches, there were 100,000 in total. The money and the man's ambiguous attitude as well as his vague confession attracted the attention of the police.
In the end, the man was beaten by pressure. Then the man told the police everything about tricking his brother into drinking, sending him to the construction site, and letting him lie on the bare floor to sleep. The man became the murderer and broke down out of shock.
This matter was stopped by Blake. Blake suggested locking up the man first and not pursuing the matter for the time being. The evidence and clues they gathered were enough to arrest the person behind the scenes at any time.
Blake did this for the sake of Emerson.
Emily couldn't get any news. She became more and more afraid because she knew nothing. She felt that the police would find her at any time. They would take her away and lock her in a dark and damp cell. In the future, Emily would no longer be a noble lady. She would no longer be able to drive a luxury car, wear branded clothes, and put on air before those rich girls of the same circle.
Emily's pretty long hair would be cut off. Her face would no longer be pretty as time went by. She would die alone in prison or be bullied.
"No, I don't want to live such a terrible life. I don't want it!" Emily was so frightened that goosebumps rose all over her body.
"Emily, what's wrong?" Richard suddenly came down from upstairs and asked softly when he saw Emily hugging herself and huddled.
Emily quickly hid the fear in her face, but she didn't look fine. "Daddy, do you need me to prepare anything for your flight tomorrow?"
"Do you want to go back with me?" Richard suddenly asked.
"Me? No, I won't go back. Daddy, I'll stay here and wait for the good news from you and Nick." Emily had thought of going back to see Blake, but now, fear had overcome her infatuation for him, so she didn't care to go back.
"Alright, I won't force you. I have something important to do after I go back this time." A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Richard's face. "I suspect that Blake was investigating Marc's matter back then."
Emily was dumbfounded. She asked anxiously, "Daddy, isn't Marc living in seclusion because his mate rejected him? Why is Blake looking into it?"
Richard suddenly sneered. "You still don't understand me!"
Emily trembled uncontrollably. Yes, she still didn't understand Richard.
Even though they had been father and daughter for so many years, Emily was still fearful of Richard.
"Daddy, does it have anything to do with you?" Emily knew nothing about this matter before. She only felt that it was an accident because werewolves were loyal to their mates.
Now that Emily thought about it, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Richard did not admit it. He only said coldly. "There was one person. It's my fault that I was merciful back then and let her go. I didn't expect that the person would ruin my plans."
"Who is it?" Emily asked curiously.
"You'd better not know too much about it. It won't do you any good!" Richard decided not to say too much.
Emily paled in fright, and she suppressed her curiosity.
Emily felt extremely regretful. She had thought of that bad idea to get credits. But now, she had shot herself in the foot. She deserved it.
Meanwhile, Leo had been drinking for the entire night because of Sunny. In the morning. Leo endured his headache and returned home.
When Leo saw the two phones that he had casually thrown on the ground, he reached out and picked them up.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Damn woman. You lied to me!" Leo murmured. He didn't like the feeling of being deceived by his intimate mate. It was like a knife stabbing his heart.
Leo looked at the phones. Both of the phones belonged to Sunny. He was afraid that she would contact Olivia, so he took her phone away. He didn't expect her to buy a new one.
Leo suddenly picked out the new phone and clicked it open.
He didn't know if Sunny was being careless, since she didn't set a password for this new phone.
Leo opened Sunny's new phone and casually checked the things inside. He first opened the photo album, and it was blank.
Then, he opened the music list, and it was also blank.
Finally, Lea clicked on the recording button.
Suddenly, Leo saw a piece of a recording in it. It was recorded on the afternoon of the day when Sunny disappeared.
Leo froze. He clicked on the recording in disbelief.
Then, he heard the conversation between Olivia and Sunny.
Leo trembled slightly. He did not expect that he would find this evidence.
Leo listened to the content of the recording without missing a word. He froze after listening to it. Then, as if he was afraid that he was not sober enough, he rushed into the bathroom and poured cold water on his face. The bone-piercing chill made Leo shiver. This time, he was really sober.
Leo returned to the parlor, picked up Sunny's phone, and listened carefully again.
Olivia's tone was filled with regret and reluctance. It made Leo clench his fists in anger. Did this woman deserve to repent? She hurt his parents for money. Did she just realize that it was so cruel?
What made Leo more disappointed was Richard's behavior. Richard had gone too far. He was simply evil!
To get the royal wolf pack, Richard had disguised himself for so many years. He had played such a vicious trick behind the scene. Richard was the one who found Olivia and pushed her onto Marc. Although Leo still needed a link to figure it out, he believed that Richard planned the whole thing.
The more Leo thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he took the phone and went to Blake's company.
On the way, Leo held the steering wheel tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. He endured great anger and resentment.
Leo murmured, "Sunny, I don't know if you are kind or stupid!" The beautiful eyes that were struggling with pain flashed past Leo's mind.
Sunny actually got the recording of Olivia's words, but she did not give it to him immediately. She was still protecting Olivia. As Leo's mate, she chose her family.
Leo's heart was like experiencing a storm. He was manic, confused, and wanted to find a reason to calm down.
When he reached the Imperial Building, Leo stepped in directly and strode toward Blake's private elevator.
Leo was Blake's younger brother and had never hidden his identity. Therefore, when he strode through the hall, no one would stop him.
The doors closed and the elevator rose rapidly.
Leo held the phone tightly and stepped into Blake's office.
