Chapter 596

Author: Summer Blossom
Sharon's sobs grew louder in the interrogation room. Her voice was choked with emotion as she explained, "I never meant to hurt Macie. I was just scared. I didn't want to go to jail.

"Besides, Macie and I are friends. Why would I actually do something to hurt my friend? Please don't make me out to be some kind of monster!

"I wasn't thinking straight back then. I was emotional and impulsive. That was the first time I ever broke the law…"

The police officer noticed that Sharon was dodging her questions and twisting the narrative to make herself look like the victim. She wasn't addressing what really mattered.

The officer was about to press harder when her colleague stepped into the room and whispered in her ear. The female officer looked out the window at Elias and had no choice but to back off for the time being.

They'd been questioning Sharon all day with no luck. The latter was unbelievably thick-skinned and stubborn. The only way to crack her would probably involve more pressu

    Edmund tightened his grip on his phone when he heard that. "Alright."After hanging up, he pursed his lips and headed to the office to find Elias.He believed that this had to be cut off at the root. The Fowlers had already caught on and were almost certain that they were involved. They even staked the goodwill between their two families to pursue this matter.With one violent incident after another, the Fowler family would never let it slide. Moreover, this wasn't something that could be settled with money.Things might have been different if it had only been Edward's ex-wife who was hurt. However, Edward had been caught in it. He'd been in a car accident and broken two ribs. On top of that, he was Yosef's only grandson and the future head of the Fowler family.Hence, if the Fowlers managed to locate Rico, the Hales and the Fowler family would become enemies from that moment on. Naturally, he didn't want things to come to that, especially since they were planning to build a centr

    There were only a handful of people who could spend 40 million dollars without batting an eye. "It must be Sharon. She's the one who wants Macie dead!" Edward spat, clenching his fists. "That money definitely came from Elias. Those two are both attempted murderers!"Yosef had his suspicions, too, but without any evidence, there was no way to prove it was them."How could a grown man like Rico vanish into thin air?" Edward fumed. "It's been over ten days. Elias must have hidden him somewhere, so every lead would end with him!"His chest heaved from anger, sending a dull ache through his injured ribs. Noticing his change in expression, Nolan hurriedly said, "Calm down, Mr. Fowler. You're still injured!""How am I supposed to stay calm?" Edward barked. "That hitman is right in front of me, yet I can't bring him to justice. He's already destroyed all the evidence. What, am I supposed to watch while Macie suffers in silence?"Nolan eased Edward back down onto the bed. Yosef said lo

    Edward's recovery over the past two days at the hospital had been remarkable. He was in good spirits, and he looked healthier than most patients, as he was already able to get out of bed and take a few steps."Mr. Fowler, you're young, so you bounced back fast," Nolan said as he helped him. Still, Edward couldn't be discharged yet. He needed more rest and couldn't return to work.This time, the car accident Edward was involved in couldn't be kept under wraps because it happened right outside HG Corporation. There had been plenty of witnesses. The news spread through the upper circles of the business industry within hours.Everyone also learned the identity of the woman he had saved—Macie, Edward's wife. Edward had once posted their marriage certificate on social media, and the woman's name and face matched perfectly. Before long, word went around that Edward was a man who loved his wife so much that he'd risk his life for her.Now that Macie's identity was out in the open, curios

    "Sharon sure donated a lot," Elias casually remarked."Yeah, she has such a kind heart! At first, she was only planning to donate 20 million dollars. But when she saw how much those sick children were suffering, she felt so bad that she burst into tears and donated another 30 million," Mira elaborated.Elias pursed his lips, as it all sounded perfectly reasonable. After exchanging a few more words with her, he hung up the phone and ordered Mitch, "Keep an eye on the foundation's account this week. I want to know if any of Sharon's donations are being funneled out or moved around."After hearing that, Mitch froze for a moment before nodding. He wondered if Elias was suspecting that Sharon was using the foundation as a front for something illegal."There's something else I didn't mention earlier, Mr. Hale," Mitch added. "The cops caught the hit-and-run driver at 2:00 am. He was on a motorcycle, about to cross into another province. "He's a repeat offender. He's used the same disgui

    In the orphanage office, a potbellied middle-aged man lounged in his chair. He had one leg crossed over the other, looking perfectly at ease. When he read the word "Deal" pop up on his phone, a smug smile tugged at his lips.He'd known Sharon would agree. Never mind 30 million dollars—if he had asked for another 50 million, she would've given it.However, when one was fishing, they would not reel in the big one all at once. Push too hard, and their catch might break free, leaving them with nothing. Thus, the better strategy was to take it slow, step by step.After that man left that morning, he'd been thinking about the reason behind it all. Why was Sharon so well-informed, and what kind of grudge did she have against Macie that she'd go so far as to want her dead? The more he thought about it, the clearer the picture became. The other day, Sharon had altered her records, changing her age to appear two years younger and tampering with the ages of other children.He had actually s

    Elias pressed his lips into a thin line. At this point, he no longer believed a single word Sharon said.Macie clearly hadn't loved Edward. The divorce agreement had made that obvious. She'd walked away with nothing, choosing to have a clean break.Macie had even gone through two trials, doing everything she could to end their marriage. The moment she left the Fowler family, she'd joined Brightech Studios, the company owned by the senior she liked.Elias glanced at the portrait of Brightech Studios' CEO. He had to admit that the man was good-looking. Based on what he'd heard, everyone at Brightech Studios knew about the rumors between Julian and Macie. Just a couple of days ago, Julian had even sent a company-wide email to clear her name. So, Elias figured that Julian and Macie would probably end up together. Julian was the man Macie truly loved, after all.He was still turning the thought over in his mind when his office door opened. When he looked up, he saw his father, Edmund.
