Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 769

Chapter 769

Catelyn looked at the officers in the center, frowned, and tugged at the hem of Cedrick's clothes. "Cedrick, stop making trouble! Let's leave now!"

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I'm the murderer, or that I'm looking for trouble?" There was no warmth in Cedrick's deep eyes.

Catelyn did not dare to admit that she was afraid of both. Even though she believed from the bottom of her heart that he was not the murderer, she was afraid that something else would catch her by surprise.

He never explained his whereabouts last night, and the police officers would undoubtedly ask for an alibi later.

She tried to persuade him politely, "You're the CEO of the Mason Group, which is a public figure in a way. Even if you didn't do anything, you'll still be the topic of the public's chatter while you're here! Let's go and have the lawyer or Charles deal with it. Since the case has been filed, I'm sure the police will prove your innocence."

"Until then, we won't go anywhere!" Cedrickinterrupted her domineeringly. "I can't stand being suspected of committing a crime that I didn't commit!"

"It was my fault. I shouldn't doubt you. Let's go home, okay?" Catelyn turned softhearted and started to beg him.

Alas, Cedrickhad no intention of leaving. Instead, he took a sip of his drink and said, "Don't you want to find out who's the culprit that hit your mother?"

Catelyn felt helpless.

It was because she knew the man was Cedrick that she was afraid.

Cedrick stared at her for a moment, put down the paper cup in his hand, and his sharp eyes narrowed coldly. "First of all, I'm not a murderer. Second, I want to know the truth even if you don't. Since you don't believe what I say, then let those who you believe give you the answer."

Catelyn knew that there was no other way to persuade him anymore, so she acquiesced to stay by his side.

Cedrick no longer spared a word for Catelyn afterward, while she did not know what to say to him at the moment.

Silence enveloped the two.

Cup after cup, and hour after hour.

Finally, when Catelyn came out of the bathroom for the second time, an officer came up to them with evidence and witnesses.

The witness should have been Quinn, but she did not answer her phone. In the end, the policemen found an old couple in their 60s and 70s as witnesses.

When the old couple saw Cedrick, they immediately pointed at him, shouting, "Officer, is the car at the door his? He's the murderer! We saw ourselves that this was the car that hit the woman!"

Cedrick suddenly shot up from his seat, and his black eyes shone fiercely. "You better watch your mouth. What do you mean, the car is mine and I'm the murderer? Do you need me to explain to you about 'mimic cars'?"

Seeing how fierce Cedrick was, the old man pulled his wife behind him and stared at him furiously. "Your car still has marks of impact. Who else could it be if it's not you?"

It was a luxury car, and the old man was dead sure with his statement.

Cedrick's hand that hung by the side of his leg slowly squeezed into a fist, and his thin lips raised into a mocking arc. "You must be over sixty, right? The accident happened at night, so how did you see it clearly from such a long distance?"

The old couple choked upon hearing this.
