Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621 David Broke Down In Tears

After chatting with Gwendolyn, Cedrick went to the interrogation room.

Neville had been waiting at the door for a while.

The door to the interrogation room opened, revealing a spacious room with a table in the middle.

David sat there obediently, not even puffing on a cigarette.

Seeing Cedrick enter, David immediately tried to stand up but was held down by two police officers on both sides and made to sit back down. “Cedrick, I was on a business trip. Why did you suddenly call me back?”

Cedrick fixated his dark, piercing gaze on David in silence.

A series of dull thuds sounded as he strode in wearing his military boots.

He walked to a table several meters opposite David and sat down. Only then did he start to speak. “Uncle David, if you were on a business trip, why were you living so pathetically, staying in an ordinary motel and eating cheap food? You were obviously avoiding me.”

His deep and composed voice didn't reveal a hint of his emotions, but his overwhelming presence was oppressive.

David's countenance stiffened slightly before he swiftly forced an amicable smile. “What are you talking about? Why would I hide from you? I was on a business trip to Livingsfill and unexpectedly lost my ID and wallet, so I borrowed some money from an old friend and had to economize.”

Cedrick wasn't interested in listening to him beat around the bush, so he glanced at Neville.

Neville fathomed his boss' intention and bowed respectfully. Before leaving, he instructed the police officers to secure David's hands to the handcuffs on the interrogation table. Then, he led the other officers out of the room.

After the heavy door of the spacious interrogation room was closed, only Cedrick and David were left alone inside.

Cedrick got up and moved to the table in front of David. He narrowed his pensive gaze, laced with covert fury, while scrutinizing his uncle.

David was taken aback by Cedrick's threatening aura.

Having known the latter for so long and because they had never been at odds, Cedrick had always been friendly to David and his family, never making things difficult or treating them harshly. At times, he would even secretly offer them assistance.

Also, ever since Cedrick took over the Jenson family, David's family had been living more comfortably than when Valentino was in charge.

“Cedrick, you—”

Before David could ask, Cedrick cut to the chase. “Uncle David, I've figured out pretty much the whole truth about my parents' car accident. Are you still going to keep me in the dark?”

David widened his eyes and slumped weakly like a deflated balloon. “You already know...”

He sighed in resignation. “Since you deliberately sent someone to capture me at Livingsfill, I suppose Yael has pushed all the blame on me.”

Cedrick pressed further, “On the day of the accident, were you the one sitting in the driver's seat?”

David nodded. “Yes.”

Then, he pondered briefly, shook his head, and began defending himself, “That day, Yael and I attended a social gathering, and we both drank a lot. I wanted to call a driver, but he insisted on driving himself, so I agreed. I clearly remember him sitting in the driver's seat.”

Cedrick said expressionlessly, “Go on.”

“On our way home that day, Yael mentioned how Dad favored Zack and wasn't willing to hand over the position of successor to him. Yael wanted to win me over to help him, but I refused. We argued, and I chose to ignore him. I remember I was sitting in the backseat while he drove. I fell asleep in the back, but when I woke up, Logan, Dad, and many police officers were staring at me. I did indeed drink a considerable amount of alcohol that day, so much so that I was in a daze. After being forced to sober up, I was taken by my dad to the ancestral hall and severely beaten. Yael insisted that I was driving, and we argued about it. However, due to how drunk I was, I kept thinking that I must have blacked out and everything that happened earlier was just my imagination.”
