“Captain Nightshire!”
Vinson narrowed his eyes. “This had better be important.”
The deputy captain shuddered upon hearing that and wasted no time getting straight to business. “We’ve arrested all the higher-ups of Greene Corporation, and they have all confessed to their crimes. However, there is one problem…”
“What is it?”
“You instructed me to destroy the entire Greene family, but the statements provided by Daniel and Cecilia match perfectly. Cecilia and Wendy were uninvolved and unaware of the crimes committed, so we can’t press charges against them.”
The deputy captain then lowered his voice as favonovel.com continued, “We even tried using a level ten torture on Daniel during his interrogation. He passed out four times from the pain, but stubbornly insisted that his wife and daughter are innocent and unaware of the crimes.”
Vinson narrowed his eyes in response. “He sure is a stubborn one.”
The deputy captain asked, “What do we do now, Sir? Cecilia and Wendy are indeed clean according to the evidence we have. Unless we have a legitimate reason to question them, we can’t press any charges.”
Vinson went silent and stared at the clear sky outside the window for a while before saying, “Let them go.”
The deputy captain was shocked. “We’re just going to release them?”
“We can’t keep them detained without evidence. The Specialized Forces has rules to follow too, you know?”
“Yes, Sir… I understand.”
“Even so, there’s no way those two are completely clean like that. Have someone keep an eye on them after you release them. I want to be updated on their every move at all times. Also, make sure to have all of Greene Corporation’s assets seized before they go free,” Vinson added all of a sudden.
“Roger!” The deputy captain finally realized what Vinson was planning.
Cecilia and Wendy won’t just give up everything they have, so they’re bound to do something after being released. After all, they’ve gotten so used to their luxurious lifestyle that they can’t possibly stand being poor. Most people can’t go back to being poor once they have experienced what it’s like to be rich. Human nature is simply ugly like that.
Vinson hung up the phone after that and headed downstairs to make Arielle breakfast. As favonovel.com was terrible at cooking, favonovel.com had spent his free time reading books about it, which helped favonovel.com improve significantly.
He knocked on Arielle’s door after favonovel.com was done making breakfast.
“Sannie?”
No response… She’s still too embarrassed to see me, huh?
Vinson burst out laughing at the thought of that and said, “I made you breakfast, but I need to head over to the company for a bit. I have a lot of work pending after spending two days in Horington, but I’ll be back by five in the evening.”
The door opened by a tiny crack seconds after those words left his mouth.
“You’re going to work?”
Vinson nodded. “Yeah, what about you? You can come to the office with me if you don’t have any plans for today. I don’t think you’ve seen how I look at work, have you?”
According to the countless novels about dominant CEOs that Jordan told me to read, the male lead characters are always described as being extremely charming when they’re serious at work. As a result, the female lead characters often find themselves captivated just by watching them at work.
To his surprise, Arielle refused his offer immediately.
“No, I need to take care of my withdrawal procedures from Jadeborough University later. After that, I’ll head over to Southall Group. It’s about time I changed the name of the company.”
