Enchanted By His Charm Chapter 963 963: Someone Trying To Frame Him



As Joseph opened the docunt, he discovered a photo attached to it, displaying an eagle-shaped tal decoration. Joseph recognized the decoration since he had been injured by it before.

Chalrs pointed at the photo, expecting a response from Joseph.

However, Joseph remained silent.

"Joseph, you can't stay silent. You have to answer my question," Chalrs insisted, enunciating each word.

Joseph smiled faintly and replied, "I can't recall with certainty. Perhaps you're right."

"You can't rember clearly because you were arguing with Ruby at that ti, correct?" Chalrs asked, his tone serious.

The light in Joseph's eyes gradually dimd. After a brief pause, he responded, "Yes, Ruby was upset, and I also sustained an accidental injury."

Chalrs continued, "Based on my investigation, I discovered that the Runestone Group was originally founded by your father-in-law, Henry, who allegedly acquired your family's property. It is evident that you hold a grudge against him. Consequently, you've been plotting to regain control of the Runestone Group over the years. However, Ruby beca aware of your intentions and demanded that you depart from the company. In fact, she even threatened to expose your sche if you refused to comply. The security personnel overheard your argunt. Joseph, do you still intend to deny your actions?"

Joseph, devoid of mood swings, asked, "What is it that you want to say?

Chalrs continued calmly, "The relationship between Ruby and Ery was exposed, and you seized the opportunity to acquire the Lake family's shares using this information. Ery, unable to withstand the public scrutiny, tragically took her own life. Ruby harbored suspicions that you were behind this tragedy, leading to multiple argunts between the two of you. Around 10:40 last night, just before the cri took place, Ruby confronted you once again, threatening you to leave the Runestone Group or face consequences. Faced with Ruby's hostile deanor, you ultimately decided to kill her. You incapacitated her by striking her with the eagle-shaped decoration and then disposed of her body in the bushes. It was raining outside, and you believed that the evidence could be effectively destroyed. Furthermore, you sustained a scratch from the decoration inadvertently during the struggle," Chalrs explained in a composed manner.

Joseph remained motionless, attentively listening to Chalrs, before replying, "Chalrs, as I have previously stated, your account is based solely on your own conjecture."

"Joseph, confidence is one thing, but arrogance won't serve you well. Do you take for a fool? You murdered Ruby, and yet you still believe there is no evidence against you?" Chalrs furrowed his eyebrows. "I discovered traces of your blood and fibers from your clothing in her nails. We conducted a DNA test, and it confird that the blood found under her nails matches the blood on this decoration," Chalrs continued.

Joseph remained composed and calmly explained, "Ruby grabbed onto when I was attempting to leave, so it's natural to find traces of my clothing fibers in her nails. Furthermore, the eagle-shaped decoration indeed scratched my hand, hence the presence of my blood on it."

"Joseph, do you genuinely believe that the police and the judge will believe your explanations?" Chalrs questioned.

Joseph smiled faintly and responded, "I am rely stating the truth. While I am confident, you must understand that a confident person would never engage in foolish actions. If I had indeed decided to kill Ruby, I would not be foolish enough to dispose of her body in such an easily discoverable manner."

Chalrs acknowledged, "Your argunt sounds reasonable, but it could also be a deliberate attempt to mislead our investigation. Nevertheless, our police cannot dismiss any possibilities."

Joseph sneered at Chalrs and retorted, "But do you solve cases based on conjecture? Or are you determined to extract a false confession through torture?" He then gestured towards the monitoring equipnt and continued, "Are you planning to disregard due process and resort to such thods?"

Chalrs beca visibly displeased, his eyebrows furrowing in a frown. "Are you suggesting that you have been frad?" he asked in response.

"It's apparent," Joseph replied calmly.

"But by whom?" Chalrs inquired.

Joseph leaned back in his chair and responded composedly, "There are nurous individuals who would wish for my demise."

"Joseph, I understand that you have a team of top-notch lawyers, but they can't assist you in this interrogation room. It would be in your best interest to cooperate with ," Chalrs said angrily.

While Chalrs remained indignant, Joseph maintained his calm deanor. "Sir, there's no need to worry. I am well aware of the law. However, I must also remind you that, at this mont, you lack evidence. Therefore, I am rely a suspect and not a murderer. I can only recount what transpired on that night. After I left the company, I was unaware of what occurred thereafter. It's also plausible that soone may have infiltrated the company and committed the cri," Joseph explained in a casual tone.

Chalrs clenched his hands, recalling what Tanner had previously told him. Tanner had warned Chalrs about Joseph's difficult nature.

The atmosphere within the Runestone Group was fraught with tension. The eting room, now a cri scene, was cordoned off, and the employees whispered among themselves. Shirley's cries could be heard, and everyone in the company was well aware of Joseph's absence.

The following day, the police lifted the block and concluded their evidence collection at the Runestone Group. The senior leaders, in an attempt to maintain so semblance of normalcy, urged the directors to reassure the employees. However, it was evident that no one could truly focus on their work.

The shareholders, filled with curiosity and concern, arrived at the company early, eager to learn about the unfolding situation. To their surprise, Joseph, who was now a suspect, had been taken away by the police.

The impact on the Runestone Group was anticipated to be negative, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the company's future.

As Irish entered the eting room, all eyes turned towards her. As Joseph's wife, she knew she had to address the public and provide an explanation, considering Joseph's absence due to being taken into police custody.

Before Irish could utter a word, Shirley rushed towards her, grasping her hands as if in a state of madness. Irish winced in pain and instinctively lowered her head, only to discover that Shirley's long nails had scratched her. Shirley was known for maintaining her nails at great expense.

Irish was in a weakened state and had little patience for Shirley's outburst. Despite understanding that Shirley must be devastated by Ruby's death, the wound on her arms heightened her irritability. With a furrowed brow, Irish pushed Shirley away.

Witnessing this, Roy imdiately intervened, stepping in to restrain his mother. Roy himself appeared exhausted, his eyes were bloodshot from the emotional toll. After all, Ruby was his biological sister.

"Mom, please calm down. This has nothing to do with Irish," Roy implored, his voice filled with weariness.

Shirley, however, remained defiant. "Joseph killed my daughter, and Irish must be his accomplice. You are completely heartless!" Shirley shouted, her gaze fixed on Irish, her eyes burning with anger.
