Chapter 518
Meanwhile, Armand was unfazed when he was interrogated by the police. He answered what he knew and remained silent about matters lic liad no knowledge of.
Soon, his lawyer arrived.
With regards to the money laundering case and the lit-and-run accident, the respective culprits had been taken into custody.
As for the man who committed suicide, Armand’s lawyer brought documents to prove that the former had been fired a long time ago for harming the company’s interest. Since he was no longer an employee of Central Group, the company was not obligated to pay for his medical fees.
After further investigations, the police realized that Armand had nothing to do with the crimes and released him the day after.
Exiting the police station together with Armand, the lawyer asked softly, “Mr. Faulkner, do you need a ride”
Armand gently waved his hand. “Someone is picking me up.”
Outside the police station, the lawyer saw a black Bentley parked by the street. Leaning on it was a towering man with a cigarette between his lips.
Despite his charming looks and elegant features, he exuded an intimidating aura.
It was none other than the head of Specter Corporation-Cooper Sutton.
At the sight of Armand emerging from the police station with the lawyer, Cooper threw his cigarette to the ground and stubbed it out with his leather shoe. “Mr. Faulkner, I suppose they didn’t use the opportunity to wallop you since your face looks untouched.”
Unbutioning his collar, Armand responded with a casual smile. “It’s not that bad. In fact, I had three good meals yesterday.”
After a short banter, Cooper got into the driver’s seat and drove them out of the police station.
He remarked in a solemn tone, “To have his claws reach Jadeborough in just a few days, Old Mr. Zeigler’s network is powerful indeed.”
When the scandals relating to Central Group broke, he, too, got his public relations team to divert the attention away from Central Group with other news,
Unfortunately, the effort was futile since someone was makin sure Central Group stayed in the headlines.
Even though Central Group held a significant stake in Twitter, the latter didn’t dare challenge the Zeigler family.
“What happened with Mr. Lebon?” Cooper threw Armand a glance from the corner of his eye. “By selling off his stakes, has he emptied the company accounts?”
At the rate events were unfolding, the company’s stock might be worth nothing at all.
“I’m aware that his wife is twenty years younger than liim and comes from a powerful family. However, I didn’t realize she’s Old Mr. Zeigler’s granddaughter…” Cooper was at a loss for words.
