My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 644

Chapter 644 Scapegoating

Austin wanted to throw mud at Ayan and mislead the public into getting justice for him, so his schedule was almost transparent to the media. He was just afraid that others could not find him, and he revealed his whereabouts without reservation.

In less than half an hour, a large group of media came to the hotel he was staying in, waiting downstairs.

He thought it was his way that had worked, and he thought of all the wording and reasons and excuses to mislead everyone.

But before he came out of the hotel, he heard a question from the crowd: "Excuse me, Mr. Norman. You said that your wife Cora was also in the villa where the fire broke out. Why didn't you find her in advance if you knew she was there? Or did you just want to get rid of your wife, who had disgraced you, and ignite the fire on purpose?"

These queries immediately stiffened Austin's face. It was completely different from what he envisioned.

He grimaced, swept a glance at Jeremiah at his side, lowered his voice and asked, "What's it?"

Jeremiah was also unaware of the situation and wanted to speak out in defense, but was interrupted by one question after another from the media before he had a chance to speak.

Everyone was questioning Austin: "Please tell us if you had anything to do with the fire or not."

"It's been a day since the fire. Why didn't you call the police when you knew your wife Cora was also inside the villa?"

"Why do you know something the police don't even know?"

One question after another left Austin at a loss as to how to respond.

He stood there frozen for a while without any reaction. The media's live camera was also always focused on him. His appearance naturally and immediately set off a lot of storms on the Internet. Netizens also questioned him.

"Austin is hiding something, isn't he?"

"Why don't you dare to retort? It's because they asked to the point, right?"

"Please ask the police to strictly investigate this man. I think he is not a good person. He must be thoroughly investigated. We can not let him go."

"I'll trade my five years of youth for a truth!"

"Seconded!!!"

"..."

The constant questioning made Austin's murder of his wife top the hot search straight away, and Preston was immediately aware of the news.

Secretary Sean asked, "Mr. Walker, will Austin implicate us now that he is in the limelight of the entire network?"

"No, even his secretary does not know too much about our connections. Even if we are implicated, people will just think we are wrongly accused. You contact Austin anonymously and ask him find a way to get out of it, otherwise Norman Group will also be involved."

Preston swept a faint glance at the online message and then turned off his phone. He closed his eyes and his face flashed with fatigue.

Austin became the target of public criticism. The development of things could not be natural. There must be someone behind the manipulation.

Who is this person?

Preston knew it by heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly, the bottom of his eyes slipping through a wry coldness.

On Austin's side, he finally managed to get away from the hotel gate, but there were still stubborn reporters who had been chasing his car trying to get first-hand news.

Austin urged Jeremiah to drive faster while his phone rang at that moment.

Too many calls coming in, he had to turn off his work-specific cell phone. And now it was a private numbernot known by many people.

He asked, in a somewhat hurry tone, "Who is it?"

The other side did not reveal its identity, but only said lightly; "Mr. Norman, if you get away from this matter, then find a scapegoat, otherwise even the Norman Group will be implicated."

After saying this, and not waiting for Austin to respond, the other side hung up.

Austin's face darkened, and for a long time he did not speak. After a few seconds, he opened his mouth and said, "Go to the police station."

Jeremiah nodded and drove straight to the police station.

Because Austin had previously called the police to look for Cora, he needed the police to testify that he had been looking for his wife for a long time.
