Chapter 333: Assets Frozen!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the police station in Houston.
Jordan, Victoria, and Russell were interrogated in different rooms of the police station.
Norman was not dead, but no one had heard from him in the last 11 years, so both Martin and Russell decided that he was kidnapped by Jordan’s father.
Hence, Jordan’s father became the key to this case,
Holding the photo that Russell had submitted, Commissioner Louis said to Jordan, “Mr. Steele, we have also communicated with the police in Paris. Your father, Rowan Steele, was the last person to meet with Mr. Norman Clarke.”
“We have adequate reason to suspect that Mr. Norman Clarke’s disappearance is related to your father. So, I hope you will take the initiative to contact your father and figure out Mr. Norman Clarke’s whereabouts sooner.”
“Mr. Norman Clarke’s daughter, Victoria, is your girlfriend. You’d want her to reunite with her father sooner too, right?”
Jordan thought about it and felt that there was no reason not to call his father, since his father didn’t kill anyone.
“Sure.”
Jordan then called his father in front of Commissioner Louis.
However, his father strangely didn’t pick up.
Afterwards, he called Frank and his grandfather, but neither of them answered.
“Could it be that they already know that I went to the police station?”
As a mysterious family, the Steeles naturally couldn’t be contactable at all times.
“I’m sorry, I can’t reach them,” Jordan said.
“Can you provide your father’s address?” Commissioner Louis asked.
Jordan shook his head and said, “He is often abroad and he moves to a different place from time to time. I haven’t met him for years.”
Commissioner Louis said to a police officer, “Go check if there are any records of Rowan Steele coming to the US in the past few years.”
“Yes!”
Soon, the police officer came over after checking the information and reported, “Commissioner Louis, we’ve checked and there is no information about Rowan Steele.”
Commissioner Louis nodded and asked Jordan, “Mr. Jordan, your grandfather lives in England now, right? Where exactly in England?”
Jordan said, “My apologies. This concerns my grandfather’s personal privacy. Please pardon me for not being able to disclose his address. Moreover, my grandfather has nothing to do with this matter.”
Commissioner Louis said, “Here’s the thing. We discovered that the funds in your account were transferred from abroad and we doubt the legitimacy of the funds.”
“Unless you can get your grandfather to return abroad to prove that point, we will temporarily freeze all your bank accounts!”
‘Freeze my accounts!?!’
Jordan didn’t expect it to be so serious!
“Why do you have to freeze my accounts? My grandfather has been running numerous businesses in the US since decades ago, and all of our assets are earned from proper businesses,” Jordan defended himself.
Commissioner Louis laughed and said, “Mr. Steele, please calm down, we’re just suspecting it. As you know, your father was first accused of murder, and now he is suspected of holding someone captive. Besides, you’re in close contact with gangsters like Pablo Dalton and his underlings.”
“We have no choice but to temporarily freeze your funds to find out the source of your funds.”
“If your grandfather can personally come to the US and explain it, it won’t be an issue, and we can unfreeze your accounts at any time.”
Jordan could tell that they had frozen his assets, undoubtedly to make his grandfather come back from abroad.
“What kind of person wants to lure my grandfather back here? Could it be Lauren’s grandfather, Martin Howard?”
Commissioner Louis continued, “Of course, you may also file for an appeal if you have any questions about this, Mr. Steele.”
Jordan said indifferently, “I will.”
