Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2181

“We're in deep water ourselves, so we can't lie for you any longer, Sheldon! Haven't you noticed that one of us is missing here?” Eric protested.

Huh, he's right... One of the witnesses isn't here right now... Where is that guy? Did Jared miss out on one of them? No, that doesn't seem possible... Given the Mitxel family's power, it should be a piece of cake for them to find out who that guy is.

Sheldon thought to himself with a frown as he stared at them.

“He refused to cooperate with Mr. Jared, so Mr. Jared had him shot... I... I don't want to die! I have parents and children waiting for me at home! I can't afford to die, so I gave Mr. Jared my full cooperation! I told him everything he wanted to know, and I did everything he asked me to!” Eric explained.

Sheldon shuddered in fear after hearing that.

What the f*ck? If what Mr. Saunders said is true, then that means Jared has killed our people here in Eurasia! Holy sh*t... The Mitxel family is way more powerful than I can imagine!

Having realized that he could be killed at any moment, Sheldon was utterly terrified.

Jared took a puff of his cigar and blew the smoke in Sheldon's face as he asked, “So, what more do you have to say for yourself?”

If I confess to killing Rhett, Jared is sure to take my life on the spot!

Sheldon was so consumed by fear that he had a mental breakdown and froze right then and there.

“Still won't admit to it, huh? Fine, bring up the rest of the evidence!” Jared continued.

His subordinates pulled out a projector and played a video in front of everyone.

The footage was recorded from the building opposite of the one where Rhett met his doom.

Sheldon could clearly be seen getting into an argument with Rhett, and the two of them even started fighting at one point.

However, Rhett stopped moving moments later and slowly walked toward the window like a robot. The next thing they knew, Rhett had jumped out of the window without any hesitation.

Something was obviously very wrong with Rhett at the time.

While the video couldn't prove that Sheldon killed him, it was enough to show that he had something to do with Rhett's death.

Sheldon went pale and simply stared blankly at the video being played.

W-What the hell is going on here? Who recorded this video? Wait... If they managed to record Rhett's death on camera, why didn't they hand it over to the police instead?

Sheldon's was not able to think straight at that point.

“Tell me, what on earth happened to Rhett? Why did he have such a blank look in his eyes? Why were his movements so stiff? Why did he kill himself by jumping out of the window?” Jared pressed on.

Sheldon flailed his arms anxiously as he stammered, “I... don't know! I really don't know! It's my fault! I wanted to stop him from jumping, but it all happened too quickly! Besides, Rhett was too strong for me to stop him anyway!”

“Why did you stuff Zeke's pocket into Rhett's hand before he jumped? Were you trying to frame Zeke for his death?” Jared asked with a sneer.

There were simply too many strange things about this incident, so it made perfect sense for Jared to ask a lot about it.

Sheldon was so caught off guard by his question that he didn't even know what to say in response.

“Look, I don't care what you've done to Rhett. I don't care if you were the one who killed him either. You will do me a favor if you want to live,” Jared continued.

Sheldon was overjoyed when he heard that Jared wasn't going to kill him.

“What is it, Mr. Jared? Just give me the word, and I will do my best to get it done!” he said.

“I want you to help me take out Linton Group,” Jared replied.

Take out Linton Group? Well, this is quite the surprise! Rhett and Zeke are such close friends, so why would Jared want to go after Linton Group? He knows Zeke and Linton Group have nothing to do with Rhett's death!
