“Who was it from?”
“The investment was from Noah’s account. Just before Noah was arrested by the police, the bank said that Noah transferred the money at the last minute. If not mistaken, this money will be transferred to the Nelson family.”
“It looks like Noah didn’t plan to hide his identity for long even if we didn’t attend Floyd’s birthday banquet.”
Selena curled her lips and thought that it was still too late.
It was as if something grazed her heart and made her emotions surge nonstop like the rough waves on the sea.
It felt like an idea was emerging.
“No, he’s not that stupid. Eric, I have a feeling that something is wrong. Although my uncle and aunt hate me, there’s no need to kill me. What good will it do them to have me dead?”
Selena grasped the most crucial point. “Even if Noah gave them money, they would still end up offending you!”
Eric looked at Selena deeply. He stretched out his hand and pinched her face as a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
“Mrs. Ferguson, have you become smarter?”
Selena frowned. Did Eric already think of this a long time ago?
Eric said seriously, “So, I suspect that Noah was instigated by another person. Noah could have hidden his identity since he had been doing so safely for twenty years. Why did he suddenly show his hand? Someone must have wanted to get rid of Noah.”
When Selena heard this, the thoughts in her mind suddenly became clear.
“You mean, someone wanted us to do the dirty work?”
“Right.”
Eric smiled.
The doctor came over. “Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, Jennifer has woken up.”
Eric nodded, then took Selena’s hand and walked out.
Since the last time they found out about Jennifer drugging the nurse, the doctor did not dare to keep Jennifer awake all day.
They would add some sleeping pills to her medicine.
This was the only way Jennifer would behave,
The doctor moved another patient who was staying with Jennifer out in advance before Eric and Selena went in.
Seeing the couple, Jennifer sat up on the bed in an instant. Her eyes were sober and sharp.
“You’re finally here! Mr. Ferguson, Selena, you have locked me up long enough. Why don’t you let me go? I promise that I won’t say a word after I get out. I won’t trouble you again. I’ll go as far away as I can and never appear in front of you again…”
Jennifer wanted to shed tears of grievance, but after sobbing for a long time, no tears came out.
Selena knew that Jennifer was just acting.
Anyway, Jennifer was not acting for Selena.
Women did not care about another woman’s tears.
However, a man would be moved by a woman’s tears.
Selena raised her eyes to see Eric’s expression.
Eric’s face was stern with a chill in his eyes. He looked at Jennifer with impatience and disgust.
“Last time, you deliberately misled us to find trouble with Floyd. Did you want to divert attention from Noah, or did you want the Stanton family and the Ferguson family to turn against each other?”
Eric asked bluntly.
Jennifer was stunned for a moment.
Eric did not want to beat around the bush, nor did he need to.
If Jennifer could not provide any useful information, Eric would not let her go easily.
Jennifer misled them to Floyd, which indeed caused a rift between the Stantons and Fergusons.
If Eric had not been humble and taken the initiative to apologize, the Stantons and the Fergusons would have turned against each other, like fire and ice.
They easily used a single name to destabilize the relationship between Ferguson Corporation and Stanton Corporation.
Upon closer look, it was not difficult to see that Jennifer might have said Floyd’s name on purpose.
Jennifer blinked to hide her gaffe.
“What? What did I say? When did I say that? I don’t remember… Isn’t Floyd the chairman of Stanton Corporation? How could I have contact with such a bigwig?”
Jennifer truly was a first-rate actor.
Eric snorted coldly, pulled Selena over, and walked out.
