The news was everywhere. Everywhere was the news that Jeffery had selfishly kidnapped someone and caused a car accident that killed three people and injured one.
Everyone knew that Jeffery and Victoria hated each other. And Jeffery had always thought that Victoria had killed her own sister, plus that was why his sister had died at such a young age.
Now that this news had been made public, people were willing to believe it. After all, Victoria had died not long ago from a car accident. And there were four people in the car, and three of them died. And people wondered why Victoria was in the van, so thatâs why it had become a hot topic now.
The Nelson Family was an influential family. Even when the family nanny went out, she wasnât in the van. It must be said that there was no cheap van in their home. Yet Victoria died in a van. Wasnât that suspicious? And how could there not be an inside story?
The official statement the police had given earlier was a car accident caused by a rear-end collision. Although there were many people who were suspicious of this statement, people didnât dare make wild guesses, as they would be sued for spreading rumors. And now that the news had suddenly broken, people felt sad. And at the same time, people began to discuss the dispute between the people involved in this traffic accident.
People were always interested in the drama that happened in influential families, which was the most popular gossip that people liked to read. And people were interested in seeing those rich and powerful people fighting each other.
If they were really ordinary people fighting each other, no one would pay attention to them.
Therefore, only famous and powerful families fighting each other attracted peopleâs attention.
Charles was surprised. After all, Jeffery was an influential man. Yet now he was being exposed to such news. Therefore, this traffic accident was definitely not a trivial matter.
Could it be Jayden, did he quarrel with Jeffery over Victoriaâs death, Charles thought silently in his heart.
Otherwise, he really couldnât think of any other reasons. Wait a minute.
Suddenly, his eyes widened. Could it be that Matthew had taken revenge on Jeffery because he knew who he was?
If that was the case, then was Victoria really killed by Jeffery?
This last assumption made sense to him. After all, if Jayden was going to fight Jeffery, he wouldnât have waited until now to do it. And Jeffery had given Victoria a hard time over the years, so only the latter made sense to Charles.
Matthew discovered Victoriaâs identity, so he took his revenge on Jeffery, as he needed an answer.
Jeffery had really suffered a lot this time. And Charles felt he deserved it for making his adoptive father suffer then.
âNow where are we going?â asked Tom. He had been driving all night, so he looked a little tired.
Charles glanced at him and said, âTo the WY Group.â
Tom sighed. He didnât think Charles was stupid, but how could he be so stubborn when it came to Dolores? Charles knew she had children and a husband, but he still loved her. And he didnât know what Dolores was telling Charles, that she was making him go to B-town at night. And she thought Charles was very irrational in doing so.
Although she didnât understand Charles, she couldnât tell him her doubts.
Therefore, he had to drive to WY Group as Charles ordered him.
At that moment, in the office of the president of WY Group, the large screen that had been used during the meeting or used to watch the stock market trend had been converted into a TV set to watch the news.
Armand and Boyce lay lazily on the couch as they watched the news.
Matthewâs backstabbing plan had worked. And the man Declan had sent to investigate had picked up the lead deliberately laid out by Boyce and had led his man to discover that Jeffery was involved in Eddieâs downfall.
When Eddie was in trouble, Declan suspected that Jeffery would help him based on the relationship between Jeffery and Eddie. However, Jeffery did not help Eddie, but did nothing. Therefore, he felt disappointed with Jeffery at that time. He felt that people were very snobbish and indifferent.
So he believed his subordinatesâ investigation report. In addition, his subordinates also found out that Jeffery had really forced Matthew to marry, so he was convinced of this report.
Declanâs subordinates told him that the reason Matthew and Jeffery were at odds was a woman. At the time, there was a woman near Matthew, and he liked her. However, Jeffery didnât like the woman with Matthew, so he did his best to separate them, which upset Matthew.
Boyce certainly did not let Declanâs subordinates know that the woman Jeffery forced Matthew to marry was Eddieâs daughter.
He only let Declanâs underlings learn that Jeffery had indeed forced Matthew to marry someone. As for the wealthy family the woman came from, they didnât know.
If Declan knew that the woman Jeffery forced Matthew to marry was Eddieâs daughter, then it would make no sense for them to frame Jeffery for hurting Eddie.
The results of both investigations were primarily to convince Declan that Eddieâs downfall was due to Jeffery. And he wanted Declan to know how ruthless and cold Jeffery was. Matthew deliberately revealed everything about Eddie to Declan because Matthew and Jeffery were conflicted.
This way, everything was explained. And only in this way could he completely fool Declan and allow him to come forward to take action against Jeffery first.
If the two turned on each other, it would be a dramatic scene that would make people applaud.
âNext, we just need to reveal the identity of the other two deceased, then Jeffery will not be able to deny it in any way.
Once the identity of the other two deceased as thugs is revealed, it would prove that Victoria died in a car accident because she was kidnapped.
I believed Declan had proof that Jeffery had asked for his help in kidnapping Victoria. Otherwise, Declan would not have acted when he learned Jefferyâs identity.
Since Declan acted against him, he had to be prepared.
However, Matthew didnât plan to let Declan get away with it. He wanted to make all the masterminds involved in Victoriaâs kidnapping pay the price.
All they had to do next was wait and see what happened. They waited for Declan to play all his cards right before making their move. They found the one the boy said was looking for his cousin in the last few days. The person looking for his cousin was the one sent by Declanâs manager.
They would secretly arrange for this person to contact the manager. And then they would secretly take pictures once they both met to prove Declanâs involvement in this matter.
They thought it would be a lot of fun if they could use the trending topic of Jefferyâs involvement in the car accident to draw out another important person.
âItâs almost dawn. Shall we get something to eat?â Boyce looked over at Matthew, who was about to be buried in papers behind his desk. Two stacks of papers lay on his wide desk, which looked tall and thick. And those papers were piled up like a mountain.
The shirt Matthew wore looked wrinkled, while his tie hung askew in front of his chest. He had acquired two large companies without a plan, so he had to make plans. If he didnât want the large sums of money he had invested to go down the drain, he had to come up with a strategic plan and use the acquired companies to make as much profit as possible.
Boyce shot a glance at Armand, âWhy donât we get him something to eat?â
He couldnât watch Matthew torture himself to death, could he? And Matthew had little time to rest because he had to manage the companyâs business and investigate Jeffery at the same time.
Armand was in bad shape, who also looked lethargic. He wouldnât have gotten up if Boyce hadnât pulled him up.
When he opened the office door, he saw Abbott enter and was followed by others.
Boyce was surprised. And he couldnât help wondering why Charles was here.
Had Charles come to interfere after he had learned what had happened to Jeffery?
