Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499

Cedrick paused and narrowed his eyes. “So it was planned?”

“Yes. I’ve looked into Miss Clark’s personal life. Amy Jacqueline was in the mall at the time, and Ivan was in the office. Neither had the time to do it, and there were no suspicious transactions from their accounts either. Those two couldn’t have been the culprit.”

“What about the surveillance cameras?”

“The board was too big and could easily hide a few people underneath it, so I’m afraid that surveillance footage wouldn’t be of much help,” Alex said gingerly.

Completely losing his appetite, Cedrick gazed up at the reflection on the glass window. He had thought that it was merely an accident and was thus surprised that someone was behind it. Had he been one step slower or were not swift enough to shove Catelyn aside, perhaps both Catelyn and him would be in the funeral home at this moment.

“Anything from Nine?”

Alex was stunned. “You suspect that the Ninth Master is behind this, Master Cedrick?”

“Isn’t this what he always does to pawns he no longer has use for?”

“Information of what happened hasn’t reached Sapphire City yet, and everything is still under investigation. I’ll try my best to find the person who loosened the screws and have that person lead me back to the real culprit who plotted this.”

Alex paused for a moment before he added carefully, “I don’t think the Ninth Master is behind this. If he wanted Miss Clark dead, he would have never freed her and the two young masters back in Sapphire City.”

Cedrick’s expression darkened as he clenched his fists. “Whether it’s him or not, we’re not letting this go. Check everyone in Sapphire City. It could be anyone.”

“Understood. I’ll investigate this matter dutifully.”

Once Alex left, Cedrick got up expressionlessly and strode towards the window, staring down at the exotic buildings of Franche with a fierce look on his face.

He had plotted against many throughout his life and had been set up multiple times, but if someone dared to lay their hands on Catelyn and the twins, he would make them regret being born into this world.

Meanwhile, in a certain private manor in Sapphire City.!
