Chapter 698
Sweet Subterfuge
Forty minutes later, Dashiell Montgomery, the police allicer in charge of this case, brought in a middleâ
aged woman in her lorties.
The woman was dressed rather plainly, and her eyes were red from crying. The moment she saw Ronan, her tears began to fal again. âWhy the hell did you destroy someoneâs car?! Mr. Montgomery had already explained things to her before they came inâOf course, she was told that Ronan had smashed the car to steal things. âWe have good jobs with okay salaries. We arenât poor enough to need to steal things to Ive, do we?â
Faced with his wifeâs questioning. Ronan looked down quiltly.â He wanted to say something but just sighed in the end. âDid you bring the thing I told you to?â He changed the subject.
The woman wiped her eyes and drew out a USB drive from her down jacket. âWhat is this thing that you need me to send it all the way from home?â When she spoke, her voice still showed her anger toward her husband.
âNever mind that!â Ronan snapped with imitation.
âOh, so youâre the reasonable one now? The womanâs expression changed, and she looked like she was going to fight with Renan.
Dylan quickly stopped her and took the USB drive from her. He stuck the drive into the computer and found an audio file.
âPlease go out and wailâ he said to Ronanâs wife.
Ronanâs wile hesitated for a moment. She looked at Dylan and then at Ronan before asking carefully.
âYou wonât torture him, right?â
Dylan burst out laughing. âMaâam, we arenât allowed to dish out private punishments anymore. If youâre caught, you will be punished for it.â
Ronanâs wife let out a noise of understanding and seemed to relax now. âThen when can he leave?â
she asked again.
âWell-â Dylan glanced at Kevan. âItâs hard to say. Weâll have to see if he cooperates with us.â
Ronanâs wife anxiously said to Ronan, âCooperate with the officers, okay? Admit your faults and comect your mistakes! Our son and I are still waiting for you to spend the new year togetherâ
Romanâs eyes turned red. âOkay,â he replied in a hoarse voice.
The audio file in the USB drive was just like Ronar said. It recorded the process of Ronans deal with Bryan.
Bryan told Roman the time that Larissa would leave the hotel and told him to complete his task before that.
âIf you fail your family will get fucked like you.â
The dark and cruel threat was completely different from everyoneâs impression of Mr. Harrison, who was supposedly kind and gentlemanly.
Ronan asked Bryan the reason why he wanted to kidnap Larissa and threaten Kevan, but Bryan just shut him un with, âItâs none of your business. Just do as youâre told.â
âSirs, Iâve given you the evidence. Can you let me go now? Ronan smiled flatteringly. âMy wile and son are waiting for me!â
Kevan gave him a cool look and said. âI never said that Iâll let you go.â
Ronan was stunned for a moment before he shouted, âYou lied to me?â
âI only promised you to protect your family.â Kevan stood up with the USB drive in hand. âFailed kidnapping and murder attempts The police wouldnât let you go even if I wanted to free you.â
Ronan was so angry that his face turned red. âYou liar!â
âOr, you donât want me to protect your wife and child? Kevan raised an eyebrow Hearing this, Ronan paled, and his head drooped. âIâm sorry. Mr. Rogers, I overslepped. You can do whatever you want to me as long as you can protect my wife and son.â
