Chapter 294 Is Your Heart Made of Stone?
An hour later, Joseph arrived at the hospital, followed by Lucas with Wren in tow.
Joseph glanced toward the hospital ward and asked, “Have the police arrived?”
“Yes, and Benjamin has regained consciousness. They’re questioning him right now,” Chloe replied.
He nodded, knocked on the door, and entered the room. Benjamin had been incessantly arguing his case until Wren appeared before him. Instantly, his spirit withered, and he appeared dejected.
Benjamin looked at Chloe and murmured, “How long have you been planning this?”
“Not long. About the time you divorced Karen,” Chloe replied.
“And you manipulated the paternity test report too?” Benjamin asked.
“You could say that,” Chloe confirmed.
With these words, Chloe shattered Benjamin’s final illusion. He admitted his guilt and claimed that Karen was the mastermind.
Considering the seriousness of the crime, the police swiftly arrested Karen. At the time of her arrest, Karen was at a beauty salon with a friend, proudly boasting about Ava’s imminent. marriage into a prestigious family in Docwood.
Her friend was taken aback. “Are you referring to the Whitmans?”
“Yes. In a few days, Mr. Jonathan will be bringing Ava home to meet his parents. I think they’ll announce their wedding soon,” Karen gleefully shared.
In Docwood, one could not stand firm without strong support. Thanks to Calvin who had been introducing Ava as his goddaughter to the outside world-even though his influence could not match the Whitmans, he could not be taken lightly either-Jonathan was quite satisfied with Ava’s association with him.
Her friend inquired, “Mr. Jonathan? The son of Mr. Preston?”
“That’s right. He’s Ava’s boyfriend,” Karen confirmed.
“I’m not sure if I should say this, but I remember he isn’t the eldest grandson in the Whitman family. In families like the Whitmans, the first child typically inherits the family wealth,” her friend added.
Karen cunningly smiled and said, “You don’t understand. I’ve done my research. The eldest grandson of the Whitmans is usually abroad, and the family business is managed by Mr. Jonathan.”
“You’re absolutely right! When Ava becomes part of the Whitmans through marriage, your life will be filled with opulence and comfort. When she becomes Mr. Jonathan’s wife, as your friend, I’ll bask in the glory of your elevated status just by sharing this news!” her friend exclaimed with excitement.
But before the words could fully sink in, several uniformed police officers burst through the door.
“Karen Smith? Based on a report, you are suspected of intentional homicide. We request that you accompany us to the police station for interrogation,” one of the officers declared.
Karen was dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of the police. “O-Officers, y-you must have mistaken me for someone else,” she stammered in disbelief.
