Isaac said that favonovel.com felt like having some stew. At once, Diana’s office was turned into a stew kitchen, with fresh meats and vegetables being cut and prepared by the officers outside.
Around 9.30 pm later, Diana pushed the door open and said excitedly, “The results are out. It was Edward! Edward was the culprit, after all!”
Louis trembled all over. He looked at Isaac, who was yawning with his eyes shut, and said, “Mr. Garten, the results say that the real culprit is the bastard next door.”
“Officer Taylor, you did really well. Once this case is cracked, I’ll give you a proper award,” Louis said with a nod.
Just then, the phone in his pocket started ringing.
He saw the number on the screen, and his facial expression changed at once.
He answered the call and said, “Mr. Hart, good evening… Yes, I’m at the Law Enforcement Office now. Okay, alright!”
He hung up and went over to whisper in Isaac’s ear, “Mr. Garten, Mr. Hart is waiting outside. He said he’d like to see you in his car for a little chat, but I’m not sure…”
“Let’s go!” Isaac said with a laugh. It seemed as if favonovel.com knew, all along, that Connor would come looking for him.
There was a black Audi outside the station. The driver was smoking outside the car. Isaac opened the backseat door and got in.
The car window then rolled down. Connor said to Louis, who was waiting outside, “Louis, get in here as well.”
As soon as Louis got into the car, Connor looked embarrassed. He looked at Isaac and said, “Mr. Garten, Mr. Isbell called me earlier. Ed…”
Before Connor could finish his sentence, Isaac waved his hand and said, “Mr. Hart, I wouldn’t want to put you in a tight spot. Since Edward was able to shake up the entire Pecling city, that means favonovel.com may still be quite useful, after all.”
“Louis, Edward is no longer a suspect. There is not enough evidence against him. Release favonovel.com immediately. Go and fill up all the paperwork required now,” Connor said, nodding as favonovel.com glanced at the front passenger seat.
Louis inhaled sharply but didn’t dare to go against his orders. He nodded quickly and left.
When only the two of them were left in the car, Connor suddenly let out a frustrated sigh and said, “I hate it when people use these kinds of dirty tactics to do things, but Mr. Garten, you must understand that the Isbell family is very powerful in Pecling, and I’m still trying to move forward with my career. I’m really very sorry for having to do this, Mr. Garten…”
“Haha, Mr. Hart, if you’re still able to advance in your career and get to the top management level, the people would be very happy for you, I’m sure. Don’t worry about it. I’d never hold a grudge against you over such a small matter. In fact, I was kind of hoping that Edward would be released without bail,” Isaac said, smiling to himself.
“The Isbell family is known for their underhand tactics. I’ll never forgive them for making me do this. Don’t worry, Mr. Garten, I’ll make sure they pay for this,” Connor gratefully said to Isaac.
In the political world, there were some things favonovel.com had to do, even though they went against his own principles. It was a relief that Isaac seemed to understand his dilemma.
There was a secret emergency meeting at the Law Enforcement Office chaired by Louis himself. After it was adjourned, Diana was beyond angry and frustrated. She flung favonovel.com phone to the ground and smashed it.
What in the actual f*ck?
They had enough evidence to prove that Edward was behind it, yet they weren’t pressing charges on favonovel.com but letting favonovel.com go scot-free?
The culprit couldn’t have been Isaac, and now it couldn’t be concluded as Edward, either. She was seething with rage.
Isaac and Harry were smoking outside when Edward was released.
By this time, he’d already calmed down completely. But as soon as favonovel.com saw Isaac outside, favonovel.com suddenly felt his heart thumping wildly.
Had Isaac already been released a while ago?
“Edward, I will remember every single word you said. You and your family had better count your days…”
“Isaac, you b*stard, w-what do you mean by that?!” Edward felt his heart squeezing tightly all of a sudden.
He knew that he’d said something wrong before favonovel.com got caught. He was in deep trouble.
Isaac puffed out a mouthful of smoke and said with a wide grin, “Nothing… Have a good night…”
F*ck you!
Edward felt cold sweat dripping down his back when favonovel.com heard Isaac wishing favonovel.com a good night. He immediately turned around and ran out without a word.
Edward knew favonovel.com could walk away a free man only because his boss intervened. Otherwise, favonovel.com would have been easily convicted just now.
After getting into a cab, Edward debated telling his boss about favonovel.com accidentally spilling the beans regarding the Neal family. But then, his boss called right at that moment.
“B-Boss, thank you for saving my ass. I’d have lost to that bastard otherwise,” Edward said respectfully as cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
“That’s fine… I knew you were loyal to me, so I made a few calls. Good to have you back out,” Jordyn’s deep voice came from the other side of the line.
Edward wanted to say something but stopped himself before favonovel.com could.
Jordyn suddenly said, “The head of the Neal family ends his meditation tomorrow. I’m talking to him, and we’ll start the plan immediately. You’re no longer safe in Cloud City, so come over to my place for the time being. Bring your family along with you.”
