Chapter 1682
Donald leaned the cigar against the rim of the ashtray and reached out to draw a card. “Then did you expect Mr. Reese to die?”
“No, Mr. Reese’s death is beyond my expectations,” Nollace responded calmly. “On the contrary, some people hope that Mr. Reese’s death will cause a conflict of interest between you and me.”
Donald’s movement froze for a split second, and he lifted his gaze, glanced at Nollace, but did not speak.
Nollace looked at him calmly. “The person who killed Mr. Reese wanted to start a war. The public is now on your back, but you didn’t lay a single finger on Ms. Reese the other night, did you?”
If Donald had not touched Lara, then Jonah and Donald would have nothing to argue about. Thus, if there was no argument, Donald would not have the motive to end Mr. Reese’s life.
The public’s speculation was that Lara had once rejected Donald, and that made him vengeful, so he chose to settle the score with such a move.
Therefore, as long as Lara was not held captive by Donald, the rumors would collapse on themselves eventually. The matter that Nollace had overlooked gave Donald a chance
to clear his name.
Donald thought about his words, and after a few minutes, he laughed loudly. “It seems that you have the ability to resolve this matter. I’ll trust you for the time being.”
He placed the poker cards down and got up. “It’s thanks to you that I’ve benefited from Lisa. She’s such a great pawn, so why not make good use of her?”
He then left with his men.
Edison walked up to Nollace’s side, leaned over, and said something to him.
Nollace narrowed his eyes and did not say anything.
