Seeing that Sasha wasn’t saying anything, James was infuriated. “Sasha, speak up! I’ve raised you up and treated you well, but this is how you repay me?”
Sasha gritted her teeth and was about to admit it. However, just then, Matthew walked forward and said, “This matter has nothing to do with Sasha!”
Everybody turned to look at him while Eric scoffed, “Oh, if it isn’t the Cunningham family’s useless son-in-law. Are you in charge of protecting Sasha now?”
James got angry out of embarrassment. “Who let this b*stard into the office?! Guards! Where are the security guards? Get him out of here!”
Helen yelled, “Matthew, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to ruin Sasha’s father? Once Sasha admits it, her father wouldn’t need to go to jail. What evil intentions do you have?”
Matthew was furious. “You’re only concerned whether your husband would be imprisoned, but have you ever considered the consequences that Sasha would have to bear? Mr. Jones is a con man and the company was defrauded of 300 million. If Sasha admitted to transferring the money, how many years would she need to stay in jail?”
Helen flared up. “I’ll say this one more time—Mr. Jones is not a con man! Once we solve the problem with the shareholders, the company will definitely receive ten times of profit and we’ll be rich!” Matthew shook his head and said, “Why are you still daydreaming? What makes you think Mr. Jones is not a con man? Do you know that he is already on the run?!”
“O-On the run?” Helen was stunned. “What are you talking about? Why would Mr. Jones be on the run?”
“I just came back from Mr. Jones’s house and nobody was there!”
Hearing this, James roared, “B*llshit! I’m sure Mr. Jones is busy with something else. Why would he be on the run? Matthew, if you continue to accuse Mr. Jones of such nonsense, I’ll fight you!”
Matthew instantly felt speechless. Why doesn’t he know that he was fooled?
Just then, they heard a commotion outside. Following that, a group of police walked over.
After the leader of the police team understood the situation, he directly looked at James with a solemn expression on his face. “This Mr. Jones that you’re talking about, what does he look like?”
James hurriedly described Mr. Jones’s appearance and the leader immediately frowned. Then, he pulled out his phone and showed him a picture. “Is this the man you’re talking about?”
James glanced at his phone and quickly answered. “Yes, that’s him!” “I knew it!” The leader’s eyes widened before he sighed and said, “We are still one step late. I never thought that this con man would be capable enough to defraud someone of 300 million!”
“Wh-What?!” James was completely dumbfounded and he stuttered. “H-He is a con man?”
“Yes!” The leader nodded. “He is a con man wanted in Jersey for conning more than 100 million. Not long ago, we received news that he was hiding in Eastcliff. We have been looking for him for a long time and never thought that his plan had already succeeded! 300 million is a huge amount. What were you thinking? Why did you give it to him?”
“I-I...” James was gasping for air as he slowly slumped to the ground.
“Darling! You’re scaring me!” Helen was sobbing as she spoke. “I’m sure that they got the wrong person. How could Mr. Jones be a con man? This man is definitely a fake police!”
Sasha was already pale as she muttered, “Captain Cole has been working in the police force for over twenty years. He is not a fake police officer.”
Hearing this, Helen started to panic. In a trembling voice, she said, “I-Is it possible that he’s talking about someone else? Mr. Jones lives in a high-end villa…”
