Chapter 372 Uncovering My Wifeâs Secrets It was not until he saw the video of him depositing the money with Owen that he knew that he could not deny it. So, he started to make up a story. He said he and Owen were friends. He happened to have some money, so he had proposed to Owen to jointly open a drugstore. The money he gave Owen was the start-up capital. In order to make his words sound more convincing, Craig even painted a vivid picture of the current landscape of traditional medicine with an unceasing flow of words. He said animatedly, âTraditional medicine is gaining more popularity. The drugstores selling traditional medicine hardly had any business in the past. But now, those stores are packed with customers. People are paying more attention to their health. âIn the past, when they have a nodule or something like that, they would undergo surgery to remove it. Now, more people trust traditional medicine. They will buy traditional medicine to treat nodules.â Craig was rattling on it, but little did he know that the police only listened to the evidence.
It was useless no matter what he said. The police just showed him the evidence that Michelle, Jaredâs wife, had withdrawn 400 thousand dollars with him one day before earlier. The police officer who took Craigâs statement asked, âWhat else do you want to say?â Craig rolled his eyes and continued to fabricate stories. He said Michelle was also optimistic about the current traditional medicine market, so she wanted to invest some money and become a shareholder. âThe dignified Mrs. Blake of Blake Corporation wants to invest 400 thousand dollars in traditional medicine simply because sheâs optimistic about the market?â the police officer asked. Craig tried to cover up his lies, âThatâs right. Mrs.
Blake probably just wants to give it a try first and she will invest more money in the future if everything goes well.â The police pulled out Craigâs contact list and questioned him sternly, âYou and Owen are friends, but you donât even have his Whatsapp?â Craigâs pupils constricted in panic. He immediately explained, âWe always call each other. Thatâs why I didnât add him on Whatsapp.â âHow long have you been contacting each other by phone? Only four days?â the police officer asked solemnly again.
Craigâs mind was in a tumult as he continued to spin his stories. âWeâre⦠Police Officer, here is the thing. Owen and I havenât known each other for long, but we hit it off right away, I met him half a year ago when I went to the drugstore to buy medicine. Every time I went there, we would Chat a little. Later on, we became closer and thought that we could open a drugstore together.â âOwen said you only met each other four days. ago.â The police officerâs tone of voice became more serious. âCraig, this is the police station. Every word you say can be used as evidence in court. I hope you wonât lie. Lying is extremely disadvantageous to your defense or sentencing.â Craig grew more panicky when he heard the word sentencing. The police continued to pressure him. âOwen has confessed that you have only known each other for four days. You gave him the money and told him to change the medicinal ingredients on Madam Blakeâs prescription.â Craig became dejected when he knew that he couldnât hide it anymore. The police officer pressed on, âWho asked you to do this? Craig, youâre a highly educated person. You should know very well that thereâs a huge difference between a mastermind and an accomplice.
Admitting to it and covering up for the mastermind will bring a completely different outcome too.â Craig heaved a long sigh and began to disclose everything under pressure. He told the police that he was instigated by Jared. At first, he was unwilling to do that. After all, it would take a personâs life. Jared said that Preston had woken up. If he wanted to take ownership of Blake Corporation, he had to kill Madam Blake before she made her will. Jared was the old ladyâs only son. After she died, all the assets under her name would be inherited by him. Since Craig wanted to confess, he had to make it clear that Jared was the mastermind. He couldnât care less about offending his boss. now. When he was taken away by the police, he expected that Jared would come to get him out. But after a long while, there was no sight of his boss. Since Owen had confessed, he really could not conceal it anymore. After Craig made an admission, Doctor Darren also confessed. Doctor Darren had great medical skills, but he was greedy and mentally weak.
When the police asked him where he got the gold bars from, he barely struggled to hide everything.
With his face covered in tears, he told them that Michelle had asked him out for a consultation and Jared had tempted him with the gold bars. However, he denied that he wanted to harm anyone. Jared showed him a prescription and asked him which medicinal ingredients could be substituted. He thought Jared wanted to replace the costly medicinal ingredients with cheap ones. Therefore, he had a casual discussion with Jared. âHe gave you more than one hundred gold bars. for a casual discussion?â the police questioned. Doctor Darren explained repeatedly that he thought Blake Corporation made a lot of money, and thatâs why Jared had rewarded him handsomely. In fact, the doctor hated himself very much. When he first met Jared, he was mentally strong and very careful.
He didnât write the prescription, and he had asked Jared to do so himself. Originally, he could have denied everything. But as soon as he saw the police, he was so scared that his legs went weak. He couldnât control himself and admitted something he shouldnât have admitted. It was too late to deny it now. He was also mad at his son for pushing him to the edge. Initially, they had an agreement to wait until everything was completely over before selling the gold bars. But his son kept urging him. Now, he had gotten himself into deep water. If he had known it, he wouldnât have told his son about the gold. He was so mad at himself when he thought about it. Under the policeâs interrogation, he could only reveal everything honestly. All the evidence showed that Jared and Michelle were the real masterminds.
Caleb personally led his team to go and arrest them. At the villa.
Jared had a bad feeling. He thought that he could not wait any longer. He needed to make a move.
Suddenly, he took Michelleâs hand and said, âHoney, letâs go upstairs. I have something to tell you.â
Seeing Jaredâs solemn expression, Michelle also had a fretful look on her face. She immediately followed her husband upstairs. Jared went straight into the study. After Michelle walked into the room, Jared said gravely, âClose the door.â Michelle quickly did as he said. âHoney, come here,â Jared told his wife. Michelle walked up to him and the man reached out to hold her hand.
âJared, whatâs wrong? Youâre making me very scared.â Michelle was ill at ease when she saw that Jared looked as if it was the end of the world. Jared let out a long sigh and said, âMichelle, weâre in big trouble.â Michelle looked unblinkingly at the man. Jared stated, âCraig and the drugstore staff are in the police station, and Doctor Darren is unreachable. He has probably been taken away by the police too.
Soon, they will come to us.â âDidnât we make a pact that we wonât give each other up even if we are taken to the police station?â Michelle said angrily. Jared sighed again. âMost people will surrender when they get there.â Michelle frowned. âJared, what are you talking about? We did it very carefully and covertly. Letâs not scare ourselves, alright? Even if they say itâs us, thereâs no proof. We didnât transfer the money to them, nor did we have any dealings with them.â âBut you called Doctor Darren,â said Jared.
