The Runaway Groom 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.”

The private autopsy performed under Isaac’s orders was highly irregular, so James told Neil that it was the police.

In fact, the police themselves told James that it was not difficult to smooth things over.

Naturally, Neil was left dumbstruck.

“W-What did you do to my father?!” he snapped, pointing an accusing finger at James. “Don’t you touch him!”

“The police have to do their investigations, or would you rather your father died with justice denied?”

Neil was silent—he certainly would not want that.

If there really was someone who did murder his father, he would punish them!

“Was what he said true? You’re not bribed, are you?” Neil asked as he walked towards Officer Jenkins, confused as

to what was really the truth just then.

“It’s all true,” Officer Jenkins told him dutifully. “It’s not the first time New Suns Pharma is culpable in murder or

conspiracy to murder. They actually distributed problematic medication before that led to several deaths, but the

families decided to settle instead of pressing charges since they were paid a lot of money. We’ve also received a tip

recently and launched an investigation on their company, which revealed more than a few suspicious operations—

all I want to say is that they can and will murder your father for money.”

Neil stumbled a couple stacks backward, while asking himself inwardly if it was true.

“Feel free to ask me if you have any questions. I’ll answer everything to my knowledge,” Officer Jenkins said.

“Just… Let me have a moment,” Neil said.

He was certainly confused.

“Of course,” Officer Jenkins replied. “You can come to me anytime.”

And with a nod at Isaac, he left.

James brought Neil a glass of water, saying, “Now think carefully about what you’re going to do.”

Neil gulped, and looked at James anxiously. “You’re not lying, are you? I can’t let my father’s death go

unanswered…”

“No, I’m not,” James told him confidently.

Neil suddenly hid his face behind his palms and started to bawl.
