The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Why Instruct

Me To Target Miss Holland

In Arion’s office, Wilbur was adamant that Corrine should be detained, suspecting her

involvement.

Arion was stuck in a difficult position. Facing him was his daunting brother-in-law, and on his side, a reliable colleague.

He had no choice but to count on Corrine.

Thankfully, Corrine came through. She presented a recording from her phone.

The recording featured Donnelly’s declaration of being kidnapped and his captors

demand for ransom.

“Really, you went on a rescue?” Wilbur found it hard to believe.

He was skeptical that such a delicate-looking woman could boldly venture into such peril.

Taking a moment to steady himself, he said, “Assuming this is a kidnapping case…”

Corrine cut him off, reflecting for a moment before explaining evenly, “We shouldn’t jump to calling this kidnapping. Let’s start investigating these two to trace the larger conspiracy. Another accomplice has escaped; catching him quickly is crucial to prevent alerting the others.”

“Do you think this is linked to Brevard?” Jayden observed Corrine closely, his expression

contemplative.

Corrine replied, “I’ve already contacted CBP for the relevant files. I’ll leave the follow-up in your hands, Uncle Arion.”

At her mention of Uncle Arion, Jayden sneered, “What kind of uncle is he?”

Arion was momentarily speechless.

While the Ford family held significant clout, Jayden’s evident contempt in such a public

setting was inappropriate.

As the meeting seemed to conclude, Corrine asked, “Can I leave now?”

After a short hesitation, Wilbur responded, “I’ll see you out.”

As they approached the exit, Corine halted and looked back at Arion. “Uncle Arion, you’ve yet to mention who informed you of my situation.”

Arion responded casually, “It was Matias Jimenez from the Brighton Group.”

Corrine slightly raised an eyebrow, suppressing a smile. “Ah, so he was the one.”

It was clear Matias carried out the orders of Nate.

Contine was amused by the revelation, whereas Jayden, seated thoughtfully on the sofa, seemed lost in contemplation.

Leaving the police station, Corrine was quickly met by Matias who said, “Miss Holland, Mr. Hopkins is ready for you in the car.”

He aimed to accompany her to the vehicle.

However, Wilbur quickly intercepted him. “Matias, do you mind if I ask you something?”

“What’s your question?” Matias maintained his composure.

“There’s no conflict between us, so why instruct me to target Miss Holland personally?”
