Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 

The sheriff sighed and tucked the file away

The sheriff found the case to be somewhat tricky

In this case, if Ben and Susan are really involved, the fallout would be massive

Ben held the reins of Coraland’s information sector. If anything happened to him, the local economy might take a step backward

Besides Susan’s own abilities, she now had the added advantage of her parents being the king and 

queen of Tonico

The couple, finally back together with their longlost daughter, stood firm against relentless pressure to return home, choosing to remain in Coraland instead

What would happen if they were told Susan had to be arrested

What would the couple’s reaction be

Could the relationship between Coraland and Tonico remain as harmonious

See, the case was not considered such a big deal

Yet, since it involved Ben and Susan, it also bore implications for the very fate of Coraland as a nation

Now, this case must be investigated

Not only must it be investigated, but it must be clear and understandable

But the entire investigation process must be covert. It absolutely couldn’t be leaked to the public

The sheriff thought this way, carefully securing the file in the safe

What a mess

Chapter 297 

The sheriff was busy for a long while, only returning home in the middle of the night

He had just dozed off when a phone call startled him awake

He hurriedly picked up the phone

He suddenly looked pale after a brief exchange, What? It’s out there? The info hit the Internet! Seriously? I thought we had a deal that it was top secret!” 

Fine, wait at the station. I’ll be right there.” 

The sheriff threw on his coat and rushed out the door

By the side of the safe, several police officers were already on standby

The sheriff glanced at the empty safe and his face soured instantly

At this moment, his cell phone rang again

He answered the call and his face instantly turned a shade paler

Then he hung up the phone and set it down

His voice took on a grave tone, The archivist took his own life. At his place, they found the missing files along with a suicide note. He wrote that he took the documents to shine a light on the wrongdoing of 

Ben and Susan, all in the name of justice.” 

After the sheriff spoke, a hush fell over the room

Whether the archivist spoke the truth or not, he had taken his own life

And with that, what was false seemed to become true

This case, which they had always wanted to handle discreetly, was now exposed to the public

The possible media frenzy and its unforeseeable repercussions were anyone’s guess

The sheriff inhaled deeply and said, Now, the press is probably having a field day. At this point, we 

need to” 

Wait a minute,one of the officers said. Sheriff, It’s not that bad.” 

The sheriff was puzzled

He mused, The archivist taking his own life to reveal these documents, especially with the highprofile names involved, is bound to cause a media frenzy.” 

Sensing the sheriff’s point, the officer gave a wry smile and said, Generally speaking, public opinion would indeed go against us. But this time… 

Never mind. Sheriff, have a look at this.” 

The officer handed over his cell phone

The sheriff glanced at the first hot comment under the exposed post and fell silent

The hot comment went like this

I totally bought into your nonsense! A year ago, when Susan got into Storm Group, you all claimed she slept her way to the top. I fell for it and badmouthed her. Turns out, it was just envy talking; she’s actually got the chops. A few months on, you said Susan was twotiming. I bought into that too, and gleefully spread the word. And who was this socalled lover? Ben himself? Fast forward a few months, and you’re accusing Susan’s Starry Romanceof being a ripoff. I was so gullible to believe that, only to be proven wrong again! Just recently, there were rumors that Susan is bossy and picks on her sister, and there I was, still stinging from the last rumor, backing you up. And now? Before I can even recover from the last debacle, you’re pinning a murder on Susan? If I fall for that, I’m the biggest fool around.” 

This hot comment was liked over fifty thousand times

And underneath, there’s a crowd of people showing their support

Mrs. Landor has been the target of slander a lot this past year, but every time there’s been a new twist

Now, even with this latest scandal breaking, it looks like folks online are hesitant to drag her name through the mud again,the officer said

Chapter 297 

The sheriff was suddenly embarrassed

How should this be put

Is it that Susan has bad luck, being slandered so many times

Or is it good luck that she’s been cleared after being slandered so many times

After all these instances, whistleblowers, no matter how earnest, can no longer persuade anyone to believe the negative rumors about Susan

The sheriff cleared his throat and said, Seeing as the public is being reasonable, let’s start with a tweet on Twitter to clarify things, and then take the investigation public. That should speed up getting some 

truth.” 

Alright.” 

Everyone chimed in together

At the Landor residence

Ben glanced at the tweet that had been leaked, his eyes narrowing slightly

How interesting!Ben thought to himself

All this just to set him and Susan up in a trap that might not even succeed

In this short time, three lives have already been lost

Jane, the security guard, and the archivist

To frame them completely, who knew how many more lives would get tangled up in this mess later

Ben was clueless

All he was certain of was that average folks couldn’t pull off such wicked deeds, nor could they set such a sophisticated trap
