The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 862

Isaac frowned at Neil's short fuse.

"Your father was murdered. The police are building a case as we speak."

Neil did not buy it at all. "You're only making excuses for your wife. Do you think I'd believe something so outrageous? Do I look that stupid and gullible to you?"

Isaac really wanted to tell Neil he certainly was—he certainly was reluctant to speak with Neil's type, who always seemed to lack something in his cranium.

They even discovered that he was working at a Fortune 500 company when they did a background check on him.

How did he even get his job, with that measly bit of intelligence?

And how did he not get fired?

That was when James arrived with a policeman, who was the officer in charge of this case.

Neil was cowed a little right then. "You don't have the right of reason even if you get the cops. I'm not afraid."

James shot him a cool look. "Listen to what Officer Jenkins has to say first before you keep yapping."

"What…" James's eyes flashed, but he stayed silent at that.

Officer Jenkins then explained the entire incident to Neil, while adding, "We have sufficient witness and material proof."

James had found the poisoned glass that Dennis drank from, which meant they had physical evidence.

And it was with such concrete evidence that they could build a case so quickly.

Neil, however, was still skeptical. "You just made that up to avoid responsibility!"

"Then tell me, what reason would Irene Spencer have to hurt your father?" James asked in return. "Was there a grudge between them? If there was, would he have appointed Irene to be his successor?"

Neil said nothing, because he could not argue against that.

James then added, "The police have already performed an autopsy on your father. There was poisoning."
