Chapter 740 The Venomous Snake

Beathan's jaw clenched momentarily.

It had only been around five hours since he left Placidville, yet even his secretary had been arrested. Clearly, this

was a well-laid trap, and they'd been waiting for him to fall right into it

However, he responded in an innocent manner, feigning surprise. "Is that so? Has Jake confessed to it?" Jace, the

police officer, responded with a question of his own. "What do you think, Mr. Collins?" Beathan knew that was a

part of his tactics. The police would never reveal how much they knew, leaving him to guess on his own. They

were hoping he'd slip up and expose himself.

Beathan cautiously probed, "This is a serious case. How could | dare to speculate? But since you've brought me

to the station, does that mean Jake said | ordered him to do this?"

Jace calmly countered, "Shouldn't you know the things that your secretary has done?"

Beathan shrugged. "He's my secretary, not my clone. Let's be honest, parents can't always control their children,

so how can | control him?

"He's merely my employee. Maybe | can keep tabs on him during work hours, but whatever he does after work is

his own business. He doesn't need to report those to me. So, honestly, | have no idea."

The one-way glass windows of the interrogation room only enabled those outside to have a clear view of the

inside. Those inside could not see what was outside.

At that moment, Emelie, who was supposedly dead, stood outside. She was watching Beathan.

It was no wonder William had said he was incredibly difficult to deal with. His experience as a lawyer had gave

him the composure to sit in an interrogation room stoically. Born with a secretive and ruthless personality, he

continued to contend and test the police even after being caught.

Inside the room, Jace asked again, "Jake has no grudge against Emelie. Why would he hire someone to attack

her?"

Beathan chuckled. "How would | know? You should ask Jake."

Jace used his first card. "We traced Jake's phone signal. When Felix called him, the location was pinged at your

house. Are you saying you knew nothing about that?"

Beathan frowned slightly. "Was that also on the 16th? Letthink..."

He pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "I remember now. That day we were working late at my

place on a case. But just because he took a call at my house doesn't mean he was acting under my orders,

right?"

The two officers exchanged glances and remained silent for a moment. With that, Beathan realized that the

police had no direct evidence against him.

He grew more relaxed. "Although criminal summons can last as long as 24 hours, surely you won't keephere

until the time's up before lettinggo, right?"

"Don't worry, we have more questions for you." Jace dropped the topic for now and switched gears." Where were

you on January 23rd? What were you doing?"

"That was so long ago, so | can't remember clearly. If it was during the day, | was probably working at the firm. If

it was at night, | might have been at hor out for a drink with friends," Beathan said.

Then, he asked, "What happened on January 23rd?"

Jace replied, "On January 23rd, Emelie was involved in a deliberate car accident outside the Sheldon Suites,

harming one person. The driver claimed to be a new driver who mistook the gas pedal for the brake pedal, but

we have evidence proving she was paid to do that. The person who paid her was Jake."

He sighed.

The police officer next to Emelie remarked, "It's rare to see a suspect with such strong nerves."

At this point, Emelie saw no need to watch further. She nodded at the officers and left.
