CURRENTLY EDITING
His dark brown eyes narrowed as he glared at me. He still wasn’t giving in. "I want to speak with my lawyer if you are accusing me of being a thief. I want to defend myself," he cockily demanded.
"You are refusing to speak any further?" I said. "That’s fine. I’ve already alerted the police, and I have multiple men already investigating you as we speak. If you refuse to talk, I’ll find out the truth in due time," I told him coldly. "And I swear, Edward, if I find out that you are in any way related to what happened to my son and any other evidence, you’re going to regret not talking now. You are on leave from your role starting today."
I then signalled to my bodyguards, who stood beside him. They escorted Edward to the seating area and watched him as I waited for my men on dispatch to his house with the police.
My gaze shifted to Jasmine, who was eyeing Edward she nervously biting her lip. I imagine she was worried about Anthony. I hoped that within a few hours we would get an update on that.
I organized an immediate shutdown of all activities on the top floor as I planned to have all of Edwards’ work investigated. I had a separate group of my men searching his office.
Within the next hour, I received an update on Edwards on what my men and the police had found at Edwards’ house.
I talked to my bodyguard who who talked to Jasmine and me. "We searched his home, sir," he said. "We have found several documents belonging to the Acland group and have found anomalous activities in his accounts; however, we did not find Master Anthony."
I clicked my Tongue.
"Oh my god," Jasmine said. "It really is him."
"Continue searching his home and investigating him. I want all updates as soon as possible.
"Yes, sir," he said and walked away.
Jasmine and I went to Edward, who was waiting in the seating area with the guards.
It took everything in me not to just punch. His nonchalant attitude was pissing me off.
"The police are searching your home as we speak. They have already found damining evidence tying you to the stolen funds of the company," I informed him.
"As I said, I’ll speak with my lawyers," he said. i was growing impatient with him.
"Call off your ransom and return my son, Edward. You’re not getting my company, so give it up now!" I threatened him. There was more than enough evidence to suggest he was the perpetrator.
He looked up at me but said nothing. Still refusing to speak.
"Edward, where is my son?" Jasmine demanded him as she became emotional. "Please, he has nothing to do with this, so just leave. We’ve already caught you, so let him go!"
She was too close to him, I thought to myself. "Jasmine," I started.
Then, with an unpredictable quickness, Edward suddenly lunged toward Jasmine and grabbed her. Jasmine yelled out in shock. My bodyguards tried to stop him, but then immediately held back as Edward threatened to do something.
