Eudora sat down in front of Bob.
She spoke in a slow and orderly manner, "You're right, he's the department store tycoon! He's also the person who paid you to create trouble this time!"
Bob shook his head again and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
After that, he requested to leave again.
"I request for the visit to be stopped."
"Do you really want to leave? Did Heinz agree to give you one million dollars? One million dollars isn't too expensive of a reimbursement for a person like you to stay in prison for a period of time! However, if you were to spend time in prison but lose your money, then..."
"That'd be impossible!" Bob retorted loudly.
Eudora immediately smiled and said, "So you do admit to it?"
Only then did Bob realize that he had been fooled.
He immediately banged the table and shouted, "What exactly do you want? I won't say anything else!" "I don't need you to say anything! I'm just telling you out of goodwill that Heinz has been detained because of a criminal case, and the evidence is conclusive. I think he won't be able to get out of there! Are you sure you still want to work for him?" "You're lying to me again. I won't believe you this time!"
"It's up to you where you want to believe me or not!" Eudora stood up with a smile.
"I've said all that I should. As for the rest, you can think about it yourself!"
This time, it was Bob that was anxious. He said, "Wait, don't go. Explain everything to me clearly!"
Eudora no longer turned her head back. What she said was already enough to deal with such a greedy person. She knew that he would naturally do as she planned!
Indeed, after Eudora left, Bob began to lose his mind.
After returning to his own detention room, he was restless and kept walking back and forth.
Some of the guards felt that he was acting strange, so they came to him and asked, "What's wrong with you? If you have any problems, you can tell us!"
After giving it some thought, Bob said, "Oh, it's just a little stuffy here. Since I'm being detained now, can I read the newspaper?"
It just so happened that the guard was holding the day's newspaper in his hand and had just finished reading it.
When hearing his request, the newspaper was handed over to Bob as the guard said, "I’ve just finished reading it, so I'll let you read it for a while!"
After Bob took the newspaper, he immediately sat down on the chair and read it carefully.
Heinz had been arrested in the morning, and it was already late at night. The news had already been reported in the evening paper.
After all, Heinz was the heir of the department store company. His arrest would definitely get published as an article in the news!
Bob's fingers kept shaking after he finished reading the news.
After a while, he called out for the guard just now.
"I request to see my family!"
The guard refused his request immediately and said, "You've been involved in a criminal case. You can't see anyone except a lawyer! Furthermore, with your current situation, do you think that your family would still be willing to see you?"
Eudora had been allowed to enter because of the lawyer's arrangement!
Bob clenched his fists. He knew that he had done a lot of unforgivable things to his parents. The last time he beat his father, he had gotten kicked out of the house.
Thinking about it, he knew that they definitely did not want to see him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Then, I want to report something. Is that okay?"
For a person like him, all he had left was himself. Since Heinz was no longer going to give him money, why would he spend a few years in jail with those accusations on his back?
There was no other way out!
Even his own biological parents had been beaten up. How could he be merciful towards a man who did not give him money? There's no way that would happen!
When the guard heard that he was going to turn himself in, he interrogated him immediately overnight.
He told the guard that Heinz had paid him and the others to create a commotion and to beat someone up. The intention was to land Amos in prison. He also presented some evidence to support his story.
The evidence also stated that the so- called conspiracy between Amos and Harley had been staged by Heinz!
Late at night, at the entrance of the police station.
Charlie instructed in a low voice, "Mrs. Granger, it's better for you to wait in the car! It's still a little cold outside!"
