CHAPTERS 592 - 594
CHAPTER 592 SET UP A GOOD NET
Today, Carter Family, Victor James and other people who had good relations with them were all present. Only Robert Michael did not come.
Two days ago, Robert Michael drank with someone, he got drunk, fell asleep, woke up, drank again after waking up, and spent two to three whole days in the bar.
Within two to three days, Robert Michael seemed to have turned into another person. His original handsome appearance became extremely sloppy and slovenly.
Those who recognized him might not be able to recognize him with a single glance.
"Robert, you can't drink anymore. If you drink more, it will kill you." This was the 999th time the Ed Yates had said that.
He only said that and didn't really stop Robert Michael from drinking again. At the same time, he also added a glass of wine to Robert Michael's cup.
"Ed Yates, you also have a bunch of bullshit. Take care of yourself, don't f * cking care about me." Robert Michael drank another cup of wine.
Ed Yates then refilled the wine cup for Robert Michael, "Robert, why are you so troubled? Looking at your appearance, you really aren't the Robert Michael that I knew."
Robert Michael sneered: "Have you heard about the murder case that caused a sensation in Jiangbei recently?"
Ed Yates said indifferently: "Are you talking about the murder case at the Kowloon Pier? That case was so serious that it was hard not to know. "
Robert Michael drank the wine in his cup again. Without using his cup, he directly held the bottle: "Do you think that person died miserably?"
"I've seen pictures. It's covered in wounds and it's face is ruined … I wonder how much hatred there is between the murderer and the victim for them to do such a vicious thing. " Ed Yates shook his head and sighed, "If I was the relative of the victim, I would definitely tear the killer into a thousand pieces."
"Haha …Cut the murderer into ten thousand pieces? " Robert Michael smiled, held the bottle and drank a few mouthfuls, "Fuck, I know who the murderer is, but I can't do anything to him."
"You know who did it?" Ed Yates's expression seemed to be slightly shocked, but he said, "That's someone else's matter. If you know about it, then just keep quiet. These days, no one wants to meddle in other people's business."
"If it's someone else's matter, then I'm too lazy to bother about it …But that was my father. It was my father who was killed." Robert Michael stamped his feet and said, "I know who the culprit is, but I can't do anything about it."
"What?" Are you kidding? " Ed Yates's face was full of surprise. He spent a long time digesting this sentence, "Didn't Uncle George died in a car accident 20 years ago? How could he be the victim?"
Robert Michael took out his cell phone from his pants pocket and placed it on the table. I have evidence of Edwin Carter killing my father! The video and the recording on my phone can prove that the murderer is him. That beast, that Edwin Carter, that demon, had done so in front and behind others. Who knew how many evil things he had done in the dark … But I knew he had killed my father, and I couldn't do anything to him. My sister and my niece are still with him …Ahh…’
Robert Michael stretched out his arm and swept the wine cups on the table to the ground. The sound of the bottles breaking was heard for a while.
In the bustle of the bar, the incessant music, the conversations, the thirst for wine, no one had paid much attention to them.
In the eyes of others, Robert Michael's sweep meant that he was going to destroy the scene. In an instant, the music stopped and the security personnel came over one by one.
Without waiting for Ed Yates's orders, the people who had been waiting not far from them immediately went up, preventing others from getting close. They also proposed a plan to settle the matter, and in just a few minutes, they had dealt with the matter cleanly.
After the men left, the waiter brought Robert Michael another round of wine and said with a smile, "You two can drink as you like, throw it however you want, that gentleman over there has already paid for you."
Yates''s LY group is a well-known international company, their business scale is only second to the Shengtian group.
The Yates Family's LY group was like a thunderbolt in the ears at home. Yates''s current manager also frequently appeared in front of the media cameras, so it would be difficult for them not to know him.
Ed Yates was the young master of the Yates family, but because he had always been abroad, he rarely participated in the family business. He rarely appeared in the media, so not many people knew him.
On the other hand, his assistant, a very popular person next to CEO Yates', often represented Yates' and made a statement. His reputation was well-known, and anyone who knew him was kind to him.
"Robert, you're really drunk. You can't drink anymore. How about I find a place for you to sleep first?" While speaking, Ed Yates took a bottle of wine and pushed it to Robert Michael's side.
Robert Michael's nerves were already numb from the alcohol. He could not figure out what he was going to do. All he knew was that he had the alcohol in his hand, so he continued drinking.
Once drunk, he could forget about everything, and when drunk, he could not see the people he did not want to see.
Robert Michael held the wine bottle and drank from it one mouthful at a time. Ed Yates put on a pair of disposable gloves and picked up the phone that Robert Michael had placed on the table.
After a few minutes, the phone had locked automatically. Ed Yates grabbed Robert Michael's hand and unlocked the phone with his fingerprint.
He quickly flipped to the video and audio recording Robert Michael mentioned. He opened it and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more he smiled.
His smile was like that of a soul reaper from hell.
He had already prepared for this battle for so long, it was time to rein in the net.
"..."
After dinner, the parents of the Carter Family returned to Yanran Villa.
Victor James said that he would be receiving a VIP from A Country in the next few days. After lunch, he went back to the Jiangbei Military Region to prepare.
Angela Carter's play was postponed for a few days, so she still had time to stay at home for a few more days.
Janell stuck to her little aunt. She didn't sleep with her parents at night, so she had already crawled into her little aunt's bed and pestered her little aunt to tell her fairy tales.
Edwin Carter was as busy as ever. He had been busy all day, and after dinner, he began to be busy again. Recently, he had been busy to the point that he had no time to work out.
After the hustle and bustle, the house suddenly became quiet again, so quiet that Jane Ronan was not used to it. Even Janell, who could help her relieve her boredom, went to sleep with her little aunt.
Jane Ronan was so bored that she wandered around the room a few times. She wanted to find something to do, but realized that she really had nothing to do.
After thinking about it, she thought about Laura who was far away in the United States. She immediately took out her phone and called Laura. Last month, when she spoke to Laura, Laura said that she would be home soon, but she still hadn't come back yet and didn't know when she would be back.
Just as Jane Ronan picked up her phone, she received a message from Robert Michael. It was a video message.
CHAPTER 593 - IT WAS EDWIN CARTER?
Jane Ronan did not open the video immediately. Instead, she replied to Robert Michael with a voice message, "Brother, do you really not have the time to come to Orchard Villa when you have the time to drink with your friends?"
…………….
Andrew was their adopted child. Jane Ronan and Edwin Carter would raise him as if he was their own child.
On the day that they officially adopted Andrew, of course, they hoped that their most important family members would be present. That would mean that the whole family would approve of Andrew and let everyone know that his future name was Andrew Carter.
Yesterday, she notified Robert Michael, but Robert Michael didn't come. This made Jane Ronan a little unhappy.
Robert Michael didn't reply to Jane Ronan's voice message. She waited for a while, but didn't receive a reply. Only then did she click on the video that Robert Michael sent her.
When the video was switched on, it was clear that the recording was from Robert Michael's home. Jane Ronan immediately realized what was happening and sat up straight.
The video played slowly. When she heard the doorbell, Jane Ronan's heart clenched tightly. She almost held her breath as she continued watching.
When she saw her father walk out of the room, Jane Ronan's entire body went limp, and her cell phone almost fell out of her hand.
She had seen her father. She had seen her father who was alive and could move …
Even though her father's face was covered with scars, she felt no fear at all. She could almost see what her father looked like through his scarred face.
In her eyes, her father was so handsome and young, just like twenty years ago.
Jane Ronan saw her father walk to the door and peek through the peephole. Seeing that it was someone he didn't know, he decided not to open the door and went back into the room.
Not long after, the person who knocked on the door opened the door with a key and quickly tied up his father before leaving.
The instant the door opened, Jane Ronan's gaze practically fixed onto a person.
Jane Ronan remembered the face of one of the two men who kidnapped her father. It was the man who did the work for Edwin Carter beside Luis George.
A few days ago, after they buried their father, they rushed back from Kyoto. At the airport, Robert Michael even pointed out that person to her, asking if she knew that person and whether that person was working for Edwin Carter.
At that time, she was so sure that the man was doing things for Edwin Carter, but at this moment, she wished that the man was a traitor like Sienna Henry. Whatever he did was at the behest of others, it had nothing to do with Edwin Carter.
However, Jane Ronan was clear that after the incident with Sienna Henry, Edwin Carter had Luis George check the background of everyone around him.
So what was going on now?
Why was it someone close to Edwin Carter that kidnapped his father?
Jane Ronan did not know how she watched the video. After watching the video, she froze and forgot all her reactions.
To be precise, she didn't know who she was, didn't know where she was, didn't know if she was dreaming or not.
She was probably dreaming, she thought.
She must be dreaming.
If she wasn't dreaming, how could she possibly see such a terrifying thing?
"Yes, yes, I must be dreaming." Jane Ronan mumbled as she pinched her thigh.
It hurts!
In other words, she was not dreaming. The video she had just seen was real. It was real.
Jane Ronan closed her eyes and sucked in a deep breath of cold air, stabilizing her emotions.
She opened the video again and watched it again to see if she was hallucinating. She wanted to see if the person in the video was the person she knew.
When she watched the video this time, Jane Ronan was very calm, even more calm than she had imagined. She watched the entire video without a shred of emotion.
After she finished reading, she put down her cell phone and leaned against the sofa. She silently closed her eyes. Her mind was in a mess and her mind was muddled.
Was it really Edwin Carter who killed his father?
No, it couldn't be Edwin Carter, it definitely couldn't be Edwin Carter.
Jane Ronan believed that even if everyone in the world could kill her father, that person definitely wasn't Edwin Carter.
Edwin Carter was so good to her that he wanted to give her the whole world.
She had disappeared for three years and Edwin Carter had been waiting for her for three years. Usually, she could feel that Edwin Carter was protecting her with all his heart, afraid that she would get hurt.
How could Edwin Carter do such a cruel thing to her father?
But if it wasn't Edwin Carter, then who else could it be?
She knew one of the kidnappers very well. It was the person who was working for Edwin Carter.
Whatever he did, he would definitely listen to Edwin Carter.
At this moment, Jane Ronan wished that the person beside Edwin Carter was a traitor. Everything he did was at the behest of others.
But who would order him?
Jane Ronan knew very well that the probability of this hypothesis happening was very small, so small that it was almost impossible to happen.
With trembling hands, she called Robert Michael, hoping that Robert Michael would give her an explanation.
Robert Michael didn't answer the call.
He didn't answer the call once, but Jane Ronan called it a second time … Finally, on the fifth time, someone answered the phone.
"Brother …" By the time she said that word, Jane Ronan was trembling so badly that she couldn't finish her sentence.
" I’m drinking, don't disturb me!" Robert Michael only said one sentence before heavily hanging up the phone.
Jane Ronan's heart beat faster and faster as she listened to the busy beeping. It was so fast that it felt like it wanted to jump out of her throat.
"What are you thinking about, not sleeping so late at night?"
Edwin Carter's low and deep voice entered Jane Ronan's ears, instantly waking her up. She subconsciously hid her phone behind her back and stammered as she looked at him, "N-nothing?"
"Are you alright?" Jane Ronan was flustered, but how could Edwin Carter not see that? He reached out his hand to touch her forehead, but there was no fever. What was the reason?
"I... I'm fine …" Jane Ronan wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but her trembling body betrayed her.
"Jane Ronan!" Edwin Carter emphasized his voice, and was a little angry, "If there's anything you want to tell me, don't hide it in your heart. I am your husband, and if the sky is falling. I will support you."
"Edwin Carter...I …" Jane Ronan jumped into Edwin Carter's arms and hugged him tightly, "I'm scared, I'm really scared."
Edwin Carter embraced Jane Ronan's trembling body. "What are you afraid of, tell me! I'm by your side, don't be afraid! "
"I am afraid we will be separated! I'm afraid someone will frame you! I'm afraid of many, many, many things …" But she didn't dare to tell him about the video she saw.
CHAPTER 594 TELL YOU EVERYTHING
"Jane Ronan!" Edwin Carter patted Jane Ronan's back and said her name in a low voice, "No one can hurt me, don't worry about me."
"But …" Jane Ronan didn't know how to explain it to Edwin Carter.
She believed Edwin Carter wouldn't do anything to hurt her father, but he couldn't explain what that video was about.
Perhaps, only by finding Robert Michael would she be able to understand the whole story.
"No buts." Edwin Carter rubbed her head and kissed on her forehead, "Trust me, go get some sleep first. When you wake up, everything will be fine."
These days, Jane Ronan was busy taking care of the adoption of Andrew. Edwin Carter guessed that she was too tired, so she could rest for the night.
"Yes." Jane Ronan nodded obediently.
Edwin Carter carried her in his arms and walked into the bedroom. He gently put her on the bed and said, "You go to sleep first, I'm going to take a shower."
Edwin Carter stood up and was about to leave when Jane Ronan grabbed him. Seeing his worried eyes, she let go of his hand and said, "You go wash. I'll go to sleep first."
She didn't want to disturb Edwin Carter's rest because it was already so late.
"Good girl!" Edwin Carter rubbed her head before turning around to take a bath.
Jane Ronan lay on the bed with her eyes closed. She was obviously very sleepy, but she could not fall asleep no matter what.
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what was going on with the video.
Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. When I wake up tomorrow, I'll find Robert Michael and find out about the details. She must investigate this matter clearly and definitely not wrongly accuse Edwin Carter.
Not long after that, Edwin Carter came out of the shower and lay down beside Jane Ronan. He placed a hand on her abdomen. "Jane Ronan, don't worry."
Jane Ronan squeezed into Edwin Carter's arms and rubbed her head against his chest. "Edwin Carter, we will always be fine, right?"
She asked with uncertainty because she was too flustered. She clearly chose to believe Edwin Carter, but she was still afraid.
"I will." Edwin Carter hugged her tightly, "Go to sleep."
That night, dawn had finally arrived.
Jane Ronan had not slept for almost the entire night, and only when the sun rose did she begin to fall asleep.
She didn't sleep well, nor did Edwin Carter. However, Edwin Carter still had to get up early to work, so Jane Ronan could sleep for a while longer.
Over the years, Edwin Carter habitually got up early and sat by the window to read the newspaper while waiting for Jane Ronan to wake up.
Today, Jane Ronan only fell asleep at dawn and would probably not wake up until noon. Edwin Carter got up and went to the company first, telling Linda not to disturb Jane Ronan.
Edwin Carter didn't know that Jane Ronan was still awake. As soon as he stepped out of the room, Jane Ronan opened her eyes.
She would not be able to sleep until she had made things clear.
She had to contact Robert Michael to find out what happened.
Jane Ronan got up and found her phone. She called Robert Michael again. Just like last night, she called him a few times before answering.
"Jane, what's the matter?" Robert Michael's attitude was much better, but from the sound of it, it was obvious that he had been drunk and had not woken up yet.
"Robert Michael, what happened to the video you sent me?" Jane Ronan would rather believe that the video was faked by someone else than believe that Edwin Carter was the mastermind behind the murder of their father.
"What video?" Robert Michael turned his body lazily. He was still in a half-awake state and couldn't remember what Jane Ronan had said in the video.
Jane Ronan said angrily, "It's a video you sent me last night."
"Last night?" Hearing that, Robert Michael hurriedly opened his messages and looked at the dialog between him and Jane Ronan. A video appeared.
When he saw that video, he exclaimed to himself that he was finished!
After he got drunk, he didn't know anything. He didn't know how he managed to send a video to Jane Ronan, nor did he know how he got to the hotel.
On the other end of the phone, Jane Ronan continued, "Tell me, what exactly is going on? I need to know the truth. "
"I …" Since Jane Ronan already knew about what happened, Robert Michael didn't want to hide it anymore.
He decided to follow his father's will and save Jane Ronan and Janell. Only by staying away from Edwin Carter, that demon, Jane and Janell obtain true happiness.
He took a deep breath and said, "You want to know what's going on, don't you?"
"Of course I want to know. I don't want anyone to make any decisions for me. " No matter what the truth was, Jane Ronan had to face it herself.
Edwin Carter could not decide for her, Robert Michael also could not decide for her, she was an independent individual.
None of them could make decisions for her, either for her husband or her brother.
Robert Michael continued, "Then come to my place, I will explain it to you slowly."
…………………
When she stepped into Robert Michael's house again, Jane Ronan felt completely different. She suddenly felt that she could see her father walking around the room, calling her with a smile .
Thinking of this, Jane Ronan was on the verge of tears.
Robert Michael interrupted her and said, "Since you want to know, then I will tell you everything. After knowing the truth, you can decide what to do. I won't interfere with your decision."
"Alright, go ahead. Tell me everything, and don't hide anything. " Jane Ronan bit her lips as she tried to calm herself down.
No matter what kind of news she heard from Robert Michael, she had to be calm. Only by being calm could she find flaws and prove Edwin Carter's innocence.
At this moment, in Jane Ronan's heart, she still believed in Edwin Carter. She believed that Edwin Carter would never hurt her father.
Because he had no motive.
"Do you remember when Angela Carter was kidnapped and almost lost her life?" Robert Michael's voice hit Jane Ronan's eardrums one word at a time.
Jane Ronan nodded. "Of course. But we haven't found the killer yet. Or maybe they don't want to tell me who did it. "
Robert Michael continued, "Do you remember the crystal shoes that Janell received for her birthday? Do you remember that anonymous call you received? "
"I remember." How could Jane Ronan possibly forget such a terrifying incident?
"All these things are done by one person." Robert Michael sighed and looked at Jane Ronan, "This person is our father. He kidnapped Angela Carter and almost killed her. He personally prepared a birthday present for his daughter. He often called you anonymously."
"Brother, what are you talking about? If there is no evidence, then don't spout nonsense. " Jane Ronan shook her head. She wished with all her heart that she had misheard him. She must have misheard him.
How could her father do such a heinous thing?
Sending Janell's crystal shoes and giving her an anonymous call were understandable. Jane Ronan also believed that her father would do such a thing, but she definitely didn't believe that her father would kidnap Angela Carter.
