My Husband Is A Gary Stu novel Chapter 1164

Chapter 1165

“I couldn't find anything about anyone having a grudge against him,” Sally said. “Perhaps the Gaudette family has evidence of his embezzlement or cheating, and he was afraid that they would use it to threaten him. He should be the one killing them; why would they kill him instead?”

Sally had been intending to use the same methods to send Edward to prison. Instead, he ended up dying all of a sudden.

Cooper pondered for a few seconds before uttering in a low voice, “Perhaps the Gaudette family found out that we were investigating Edward and discovered something. They could be afraid that Robert would take advantage of the situation and that Edward would stand on Robert's side, making it disadvantageous for them. Thus, they decided it would be easier if he was taken care of.”

He added, “Edward has many matters to take care of at the end of every year. It's possible to pass it off as death from overwork.”

“The Gaudette family did not want Mr. Zane to be released because they were afraid that he would help Edward with his embezzlement.” Sally pursed her lips, her voice bitter.

Apart from discovering that Edward had kept a mistress, she had not found anything else.

Cooper laughed. “I've already gotten what I came for. It doesn't matter if the Gaudette family destroys the evidence.”

Sally promptly asked, “What did you find?”

Just then, the doorbell rang. Since Cooper was not answering her question, Sally could only open the door grudgingly. The hotel receptionist was standing outside.

Sally's takeout had arrived, and the receptionist had it brought to her room.

Setting down her supper on the coffee table, Sally said, “Previously, I also stayed at this hotel when I came over to Baykeep. The burgers and fried chicken from this store are pretty good.”

A few hours had passed since Cooper arrived at the bar, and he was actually feeling a little hungry.

Just as he was accepting the food offered by Sally, he suddenly exclaimed, “Why do I feel like there's a hidden motive? Are you trying to ply me with food so that I'd serve you properly later on?”

The two of them had always gotten down to business. Ordinarily, Cooper never said much in front of her.

Despite the fact that they were the only two people in the room, Sally was shocked to hear him say something so obscene all of a sudden that she nearly dropped the burger that she was holding.

Cooper was amused by her awkward reaction. He laughed quietly. “Relax, Ms. Loake. I was only teasing.”
