Chapter 72 Scalded (2)
"Take him back and interrogate him properly. How dare he stole a luxury car worth tens of millions of
dollars and smashed it. Throw him into prison," Jordan hissed.
"I didn't steal the car. This car was lent to me by a relative. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
James' voice now was as soft as a whisper.
The police relied on the clues provided by James and notified the relative James was referring to.
James' relative rushed to the police station, and when he saw Jordan, he greeted, "Mr. Reed, why are
you here?"
When Jordan saw that he was actually William's butler, he sneered and asked, "Did you lend him this
car, or did he steal it?"
The butler said with a sullen expression, "He is my nephew. He came to visit San Fetillo these few
days, and when he saw the car, he wanted to take it for a ride. I had turned him down. But, I didn't
expect that he would still drive it out while I was asleep. Mr. Reed, please forgive me this time."
"So, he was driving the car without permission. Isn't it stealing then? Did you all hear it clearly?" Jordan
asked the police with a simper.
The police nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it loud and clear!"
"I won't be the one to decide. William has the final say. As for this car thief, the police can judge it
themselves," Jordan continued coldly. Ignoring the butler's begging, he took Irene and others out of the
police station.
Irene breathed a sigh of relief on the way out. "Fortunately, you're here. Otherwise, we wouldn't know
what we should've done today."
"Remember to call me when you encounter something you can't solve in the future!" Jordan glared at
Irene. "If you can't deal with it, then what's the point of my presence?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Irene smiled in embarrassment. "I'm just afraid that you don't have the time."
"I prioritize anything that concerns you. Even if I were busy, I would always take some time out to deal
with it." Jordan looked at Irene meaningfully.
Irene's face became hot, and she quickly changed the topic, "Are they going to fire the butler? He was
clueless about what had happened. It's such a pity that he will get fired because of this matter!"
"Foolish girl!" Jordan glowered at her. "How do I know such a foolish woman like you? Have you
forgotten that you were driven into a corner by that guy just now?"
"But it has nothing to do with the butler. I just think that he's innocent," Irene chirped.
"Innocent? Only a fool like you will think he is innocent." Jordan smiled mirthlessly.
"I'll let you know that butler is not innocent at all. My friend, William is from Fransburg, so he's usually
not in the country. That butler has always managed his house and cars in San Fetillo. However, the
butler has been renting William's cars to outsiders to earn some quick cash. Moreover, he got even
bolder recently and used William's luxury cars to make a deal with others."
"What kind of a deal?" Irene was confused.
"A staged crash!" Jordan answered, "They specifically pick rich people as their victims. They have
already done such things several times in the past few months."
"How did you know?" Irene was puzzled.
"This luxury car's accessory factory has shares in the Golden Age Group, and I heard about this matter
from there. However, they've only been targeting rich people. Why would they come for you guys this
time?" Jordan wondered.
"It's probably a coincidence!" Thomas replied. "I guess they're looking for rich people to make their
move on, but I somehow bumped into their car."
That was the best explanation. Jordan nodded and looked at Irene with a warm smile. "Since I've done
you a favor today, you should treat me to a big meal as gratitude!"
As Jordan mentioned 'a big meal', Irene finally remembered that Kinsey was still waiting for her to send
her food. "Oh no, I still have to send food to Kinsey!"
Margaret had thought about ways to deal with Irene for the longest time, but she didn't consider Marie's
suggestion as she was also a mother. She couldn't threaten a mother with her child, so Marie gave her
another idea.
Edric said that Irene got remarried because of financial difficulties after their divorce, which showed that
her financial condition must be awful.
Marie and Margaret got onto the topic of making a staged crash with a luxury car. A luxury car that was
usually worth tens of millions of dollars would cost more than a hundred thousand dollars just to repaint
a bumped area. If it were slightly worse, it would usually cost millions of dollars. Since Irene was poor,
she certainly couldn't afford the bill.
By the time, she would be stuck in a hopeless situation, and Margaret would come forward to help her
solve that problem by asking her to leave the city in return for the favor. With that, Margaret could
quickly achieve her goal.
Marie was Margaret's classmate, hence she had a good relationship with Margaret. When Margaret's
father had an affair with another woman and was being exposed, it was Marie who stayed by
Margaret's side.
Due to that, Margaret trusted Marie a lot.
After Marie came up with the idea of staging a crash, Margaret agreed to it and asked her to look for
someone that could do so.
Although Marie was only a doctor, she had many connections, therefore Margaret let Marie deal with
that matter.
She quickly found someone and told Margaret that the other party demanded quite a pricey rate.
Margaret didn't care about the money, yet she couldn't help hesitating. Was it really acceptable to do
so?
Due to her uncertainty, she never carried out the plan. However, when she saw how Irene had caused
Edric's pitiful condition the other day at the hospital, her flicker of irritation and anger immediately got
the better of her. She directly called Marie and asked her to arrange that matter immediately.
Marie immediately agreed and said that she would arrange for someone to be on standby, and
Margaret would see the result on the same day. She also requested for Margaret to pay the deposit
first. As Margaret was furious, she paid the deposit without a second thought.
After settling the deposit, Margaret waited for the good news to arrive, but she never expected that
Jordan's appearance would interrupt her plans. Their scheme failed because of Jordan, and the people
who staged the crash were also sent to prison. Fortunately, those people were very professional and
did not disclose their identities to the police.
Margaret finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt dejected. Marie persuaded her not to be soft-
hearted anymore. If she continued to be compassionate towards Irene, the consequences would be
unimaginable. Therefore, Marie suggested using Irene's child as a hostage again.
Margaret was on the fence for a while, but she couldn't think of any other way, hence she agreed.
