Filled with rage, Joaquin stomped toward Pablo and punched the latter with all his might.
Groaning in pain, Pablo collapsed to the ground.
“You little sh*t! I treated you well! Two years ago, when that brat from the Jameson family kissed your
ex-girlfriend, I was the one who helped you take revenge! I was beaten by my grandfather after that
incident and got so badly injured that I was practically bedridden for three whole days, yet I never
blamed you! How dare you try to destroy my career and life! What did I do to you to deserve that?”
Growing increasingly incensed, Joaquin lifted Pablo by the collar and punched the latter twice.
The corner of Pablo’s lips soon bled as his face swelled.
Cedrick and Gwendolyn stood aside and watched wordlessly.
It wasn’t until Pablo was on the verge of passing out that Cedrick shouted, “That’s enough! Nico, pull
Mr. Zipper away.
” Without delay, Nico stepped forward and dragged Joaquin back by force.
Joaquin was still infuriated, so he viciously kicked Pablo’s waist two more times.
Moaning in pain, Pablo winced and breathed laboriously.
Probably because he felt guilty, he didn’t say a word nor retaliate despite being beaten up badly.
Gwendolyn wordlessly observed him and the look on his face for a moment.
“I can tell you feel guilty about what you did to Joaquin, Pablo.
I think you’re not the mastermind behind this incident.
Someone directed you to do this.
Am I right?” Lowering his head, Pablo remained quiet.
Cedrick glared at Pablo coldly and added, “I asked people to check your bank account statement.
You deposited thirty million in the bank yesterday, and you deposited another fifty million today.
However, you haven’t been working for the past six months, and your family didn’t provide you with any
allowance.
Do you think I won’t suspect where you got the money from?” Pablo still kept his mouth shut.
Hence, Cedrick turned to look at the wall on the right, gesturing for Pablo to look at the interrogation
tools hung on it.
“This is a secret interrogation room the Federal Bureau of Investigation uses to question felons.
Even the best-trained spies and secret agents can’t endure the torture induced by those tools.
Meanwhile, you’re just the pampered son of an affluent family.
How long do you think you can hold on, hmm?” Pablo was so terrified that he paled and shuddered
even harder.
Gritting his teeth, Joaquin barked, “I think he should experience what all these tools have to offer!
Letting an ingrate like him live is a waste of Earth’s resources!” After Cedrick and Joaquin played their
roles as the bad cops, it was Gwendolyn’s turn to play the good cop.
With a kind expression, she spoke tenderly.
“This isn’t a small matter, Pablo.
Joaquin’s life will be ruined if the matter isn’t resolved well.
He’ll be forever branded as a lascivious star.
You know what kind of person he is.
He’ll do anything he can to help his friends and families.
He even aided you multiple times in the past.
That’s why he’s very hurt by your betrayal.
” Pablo lowered his line of sight and dared not look at Joaquin.
He was overwhelmed with guilt for hours after he posted those pictures online and saw that they went
viral.
“I’m sorry.
I didn’t expect it would hurt Joaquin that much.
” He sobbed sorrowfully.
“I accidentally spent too much money while having fun in Norham some time ago.
However, I didn’t have the guts to ask for money from my family.
One day, someone abruptly approached me.
” Gwendolyn knitted her eyebrows.
“Who is it?” “I don’t know.
” Shaking his head, he continued, “They contacted me through the dark net, though I think they’re a
woman.
She said she’s a fan of Pablo’s with a weird fetish.
She wants pictures of Joaquin lying on a bed with women, though she promised me it was only for her
personal fun and that she wouldn’t leak them out.
When I heard her offer of eighty million, I faltered.
I even deliberately lost Jeffrey’s golden watch so he had an excuse to check the bar’s surveillance
footage.
While he was at it, I asked him to help me delete that half an hour of footage, just in case.
I was dumbfounded when the pictures circulated on the internet, too.
I even tried to contact the woman again but to no avail.
She didn’t transfer the money directly into my account.
Instead, she asked me to pick up the check at a designated location before I deposited it myself.
I panicked, so I bought a ticket during the afternoon, ready to flee the country.
I didn’t expect to be captured.
” Joaquin was speechless after listening to the story.
“What fan? She’s clearly a demon attempting to wipe out my family!” Concurrently, Cedrick and
Gwendolyn exchanged a glance.
This isn’t as simple as we initially thought.
Cedrick asked, “Which company is the check payable to?” After thinking about the question seriously,
Pablo answered, “I didn’t see it clearly back then, though I think I saw the word… Harris? Hmm, maybe
not…” Gwendolyn’s expression darkened the moment she heard that.
Cedrick continued, “You caused this mess, so you need to make it up to Joaquin.
Nico will bring you to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to take your statement.
You need to take responsibility for your wrongdoings, understand?” Joaquin lowered his head in defeat,
accepting his fate.
“Yes.
I made a mistake and harmed Joaquin.
I’ll take full responsibility for that.
” Promptly, Cedrick glanced at Nico.
Without delay, Nico brought Joaquin and Pablo to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Once the matter had been settled, the bureau’s official account would announce Joaquin’s innocence.
Cedrick and Gwendolyn were the only ones left in the interrogation room.
Wearing a serious frown, Gwendolyn spoke.
“Whoever’s behind this, their target wasn’t Joaquin.
It was me.
Joaquin was just a means to an end.
” “I doubt we’ll find anything substantial in the dark net.
The account the culprit used was probably fake.
Do you have any suspects?” wondered Cedrick.
“It could be Uncle Gideon.
I’ll investigate the matter after returning.
Whoever did this knows I’ll definitely help Joaquin out.
Additionally, I think they’re intentionally distracting me from a bigger scheme they’re cooking up.
” “Aren’t you returning to the Harris residence in two days, Gwenny? Marcus will be handing you the
position of CEO of Harris Group during that time, right?” Gwendolyn nodded.
“And also the right to inherit all assets of the family.
Once the contract is signed, the entire Harris family will belong to me.
The Harris family didn’t really have a head, though whoever earned the right of inheritance would be its
leader.
Cedrick pulled her into his embrace with worry written all over his handsome face.
“How about we delay the contract signing? I’m sure they’ll strike right away if everything is too rushed.
However, this is your family matter, and we’re not married yet, so I don’t have the right to participate in
it.
Gwenny, I’m concerned.
” Cradling his face, Gwendolyn analyzed the pros and cons, “They will get impatient since they don’t
have much time, and they’ll likely make mistakes when they strike.
If I drag this on, they’ll have time to prepare, and the likelihood of me falling for their dangerous scheme
increases.
Don’t worry.
My brothers will have my back when I return to the Harris residence.
Danger won’t befall me.
” “Gwenny—” Cedrick uttered before Gwendolyn pressed her finger on his mouth, cutting him off.
“You know me, Ceddy.
Once I decide on something, you can’t change my mind.
” Smiling casually, she continued, “Perhaps the situation two days later won’t be as dangerous as you
think.
Instead, the truth might even be revealed.
”
