Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3005

Karen narrowed her eyes. "So you're saying that I have to provide evidence?"

"Whatever crime it is, there must be proof, right? With just this recording, how am I supposed to question Luke? Besides, Luke is too busy for these little tricks. I believe he's innocent. This man might be intentionally framing him," said Old Master Mallory as he let out a yawn.

Being old, he had a habit of taking a nap. Being woken up like this made him feel very tired.

Karen's face turned pale. "Fine, just you wait. I'll go get the bank transaction records now. We'll settle this based on evidence!"

She refused to believe that even with the evidence laid out in front of him, Old Master Mallory would still side with Luke.

Karen left in a huff.

Old Master Mallory let out another yawn, and Mr. Griffin reminded him, "Sir, you should rest for a while."

Old Master Mallory thought it was a good idea. He got up with his cane, but just as he was about to head to the bedroom, he stopped to remind Mr. Griffin, "Oh, by the way, let Luke know about this."

He had temporarily dealt with the trouble, but Luke needed to be informed.

"Yes, I'll inform him shortly.” Mr. Griffin nodded.

"Alright. If she comes with those transaction records later, then we'll talk. I'm going to take a nap.” Even though Old Master Mallory said so, he did not really feel threatened by the so-called transaction records.

It would be strange for Luke to leave behind such evidence.

After Karen left Crawford Manor, she hurriedly returned to the villa where Silas was being held.

Later, she realized she might not need Silas to go to the bank for statements. As long as she got the transaction records, she could find out the account number and investigate at the bank.

She knew who the people around Luke were. Hence, once she identified the account holder, it would point to Luke orchestrating this.

Karen planned everything well. Then, she stood in front of Silas again.

Silas' mouth was gagged with a rag.

Disgusted, Karen lifted her jaw, signaling for someone to remove the cloth.

Silas took a deep breath and then started coughing.

Karen took two steps back, as though she was avoiding a deadly virus. When the coughing stopped, she approached and said, "You mentioned someone transferred money to you, right? Show me the transaction records. I need to know the account details."

Silas froze for a moment, then shivered suddenly. He gave Karen a pitiful look.

There were no transaction records. It was all a lie…

Karen felt a pang of unease when she saw his reaction.

"Where are the transaction records?" Karen pressed, afraid that if she waited a second longer, the records would disappear.

"There… There are no transaction records." Silas shook his head, his face contorting in pain.

"What did you say?!" Karen widened her eyes, glaring at him fiercely. "You claimed there were transaction records before. Were you lying to me?"

Silas quickly explained, "I was afraid you'd keep hitting me... Actually, those people gave me cash. There's no bank transaction record at all."

"Cash?" Karen stepped back, catching onto what he said. "Who are these people you're talking about?"

Silas wore a bitter expression and answered, "They’re the ones who've been protecting me.

They handed me cash directly, no banks involved."

Karen's expression darkened even more. Without the bank’s involvement, no transaction records meant no evidence. The only evidence was Silas' words.
