Shawn slumped on the ground, extremely embarrassed. He raised his eyes to glance at me and said, “I
didn’t touch her. If you don't believe me, you can run some tests.”
Dennis didn’t say a word, just looked at Shawn indifferently. Although Dennis was silent, the coldness
in his icy eyes was enough to kill someone.
Shawn paused briefly. And then he continued, “I was only responsible for taking Ms. Clara to her
designated hotel following Ms. George's order. | had no idea what would happen after.”
This Ms. George that Shawn was talking about was Yara George.
“Is that all?” Dennis asked, his eyes darkening.
Shawn nodded, “That's all. | didn’t know who the man waiting in the hotel room was. When | sent Ms.
Clara in, he had his back against me. But he was very tall, about five foot eleven, and he had a very
aloof aura.”
Dennis didn't speak. Since Toby wasn't there, Shawn worried that Dennis would still use his parents
and fiancee to threaten him into talking more.
Shawn had explained everything he knew, “Ms. George gave me three hundred thousand dollars for
this. The money is still in that royal blue Ferrari. If it wasn’t for my future wife’s dowry, | would never
have done such a thing at all.”
He looked at Dennis pleadingly, “Mr. George, | beg you - You can do whatever you want to me, but
don’t hurt my family, please.”
Dennis still didn’t speak. Toby came in with a bag of juice and some matcha pastries.
Toby asked someone to bring in a table and put the cakes out neatly. Toby then looked at me and said,
“Mrs. George, please enjoy!”
I...
After speaking, Toby looked at Dennis and said, “She's outside.”
Shawn thought it was his family, so he freaked out immediately and looked at Dennis angrily, “Dennis
George, you despicable villain! You said that you would keep my family out of this. You freaking liar!”
Toby told the two big men to pin Shawn down, and he said coldly, “Who told you that it was your family
that had come?”
At the same time, there appeared the sound of high heels from the outside - It was no one else who
came in, but Yara George.
The weather in Newton Town was mild. Although it was only January, the temperature had already
picked up.
But it wasn’t hot yet.
Yara wore a long dress, elegant and grand, and her high heels were extra bright.
She was originally a classy woman, but now she was brought to a place that was incompatible with her
temperament, which made her seem a little embarrassed.
There were two men in black beside Yara. She was brought here against her will.
When Yara walked in and found Dennis was there, her face paled a bit. She spoke, “Dennis, why are
you here?”
Dennis’s slender body leaned back - His body moved leisurely and wantonly. He raised his eyebrows
and looked at Yara, “Why wouldn’l be here?”
Shawn was beaten out of shape - Yara saw him, and her legs went weak. She almost slumped onto the
ground.
Dennis rubbed between his eyebrows, looked at Shawn, and said, “Go ahead, repeat what you just told
us.”
Seeing that it was not his family, Shawn’s face became less stressed now. He calmed down and his
thoughts became clearer.
“Five days ago, Ms. George gave me a call after the Gibson group’s annual leave and she told me to
do something for her. She will reward me three hundred thousand dollars afterward. Typically I wouldn’t
do such things. But my fiancee is pregnant, and we need the same amount of money for the wedding
and the baby's birth. If we don’t have it, her parents will be taking her to the hospital for an abortion!”
He took a deep breath and continued, “My parents are both from the countryside. They have lived by
farming all their lives, and they have built a house recently. They have already borrowed a lot of money,
and there’s no way they can offer the three hundred thousand dollars to my future in-laws. So, for the
money, I made a deal with Ms. George.”
“You are talking nonsense!” Yara got angry. “I have never called you, nor did I give you any money.
Don’t frame me!”
Shawn looked at her, “The money is still in the car, and the car keys were put under the wall outside the
Gibsons Villa for my fear of being discovered. That was what you have told me.
The three hundred thousand was in cash, and you have put it in that royal blue Ferrari.”
“I haven’t touched that money yet, you can go and see for yourself. I don’t have to lie!”
Dennis didn’t say anything, but he just looked at Toby. Toby nodded and said, “I have checked, and
there is indeed three hundred thousand cash in the car. There are no serial numbers on the bills, so
they weren’t taken from the bank, and there’s no way to track down where the money was from.”
Yara looked at Dennis - She seemed a little broken, “Dennis, I’m your aunt. I have no reason to hurt
your wife. Don’t believe him!”
Toby stepped forward, handed the phone to Dennis, and said, “Ms. Yara have met Ms. Olivia once All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
before, in Newton Town.”
Dennis looked at Toby’s phone, afterward, his eyes fell on Yara, his voice became particularly cold,
“You were here in Newton Town early?”
Yara turned pale and spoke, “I... I came early to see my father.”
“What were you meeting Olivia Pearson for?” Dennis seemed impatient, and his eyes were cold.
Yara’s body was trembling lightly, “Olivia asked me to meet. She knew that I have given Clara the
things from Luna. Olivia threatened me to deceive Clara for her, otherwise, she would tell Luna about
this and make her turn against me.”
“Heh!” Dennis sneered and went silent again.
After a long time, Dennis looked at me. He saw that I hadn’t touched the juice box or any of the pastries
in front of me. He frowned slightly, “Would you like something else?”
I shook my head, “No, thanks. I am good.”
“Are you tired?” He reached out his hand to pull on me.
I nodded.
I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to go on with the investigation anymore. If Yara was the one who did
it, what would Dennis do then?
Olivia was also involved. For Dennis, these two women equaled responsibilities and inescapable family
relationships. No matter how much he hated them, he might not be able to punish them.
I did feel a bit tired, so I spoke, “Dennis, could you please take me home to get some rest?”
Dennis nodded. He glanced coldly at the two people on the ground, then looked at Toby and said, “Call
the police and let the officers handle the rest.”
Luna was startled, and her eyes were filled with fear, “Dennis, you have no evidence. You can’t do this
to me.”
Dennis looked at her, and his eyes darkened, “We can wait until the police finish investigating, then we
will settle this my way.”
He would handle this his way!
For a while, Luna slumped and sat on the ground, helpless and at a loss.
Getting out of the factory, I got into the car, leaned back in my seat, closed my eyes, and felt so
exhausted.
A warmth came from the palm of my hand. It was Dennis holding my hand. He started the car. His
voice was calm, “Don’t worry, babe. Everything’s going to be okay!”
I pursed my lips and didn’t speak - But I kept wondering who that person would be.
Back at the villa, I was a little drowsy. Dennis took me back to the bedroom. After he ordered the sitters
about a few things, he left.
I was lying in bed, so sleepy, but couldn’t fall asleep.
Pulling out my phone, I called Jackie Wells. She answered right after a few rings.
