Enchanted By His Charm Chapter 972 972: I Am Innocent



Chalrs pressed on, "Your brother always wanted you to join the Runestone for assistance."

"Actually, he wanted to make a na for myself in the racing arena," Jordan clarified.

Chalrs understood the intent behind his response and emitted a snort of understanding.

Jordan inquired, "Are you, Officer Chalrs?"

Chalrs maintained eye contact with him.

"I believe it would be wise for you to investigate individuals who hold a grudge against my brother," Jordan suggested.

Chalrs locked eyes with Jordan and assured him, "Rest assured, the police will thoroughly explore any leads."

Jordan observed him for a mont and let out a disdainful snort, replying, "I certainly hope so."

In stark contrast to Jordan's hostile deanor towards the police, others displayed a high level of cooperation during the investigation.

The second individual questioned was one of Joseph's business partners or competitors, as their involvent could not be disregarded in potential conflicts of interest that could have led to the homicide.

Leo was the final person to undergo police questioning.

The police inquired about Leo's relationship with Joseph, indicating their thorough investigation from the past up until the present.

"Since Jenny's death, have you harbored any resentnt towards Joseph?" the police asked.

Leo chuckled, responding, "I am dissatisfied with him due to his ruthlessness."

"In terms of work?" the police clarified.

"Yes," Leo honestly admitted. "While I understand that the business realm can be likened to a battlefield, as a forr brother, he repeatedly pushed into situations where I felt trapped and had no way out. So, I am highly dissatisfied with him."

"Do you hate him?" the police probed further.

"No, I'm simply angry with him," Leo clarified.

"I've heard rumors about a dispute between you and Joseph regarding the new autumn and winter products. Is there any truth to that?" the police inquired.

"It's just a baseless rumor. To my knowledge, Runestone's new autumn and winter products are still in the preparation phase," Leo clarified.

"Are you aware that the prosecutors have initiated an investigation into Joseph?" the police pressed.

Leo maintained his smile and responded, "I'm sorry, but I truly have no knowledge of that."

"Let's discuss Ruby's murder. Do you believe Joseph is responsible?" the police asked.

Leo replied casually, "While Joseph may be ruthless in business, to believe he would resort to murder? That's unthinkable, Officer. It's evident that soone is trying to fra him. He's too clever to commit a cri right at his own doorstep, especially imdiately following an argunt and in the presence of witnesses."

The police ticulously recorded each statent as they conducted a comprehensive investigation, leaving no mber of the Lake family unexamined.

Shirley, who typically exuded arrogance, displayed signs of nervousness within the police station. She sat down and glanced at the cup placed in front of her.

The police instructed her to recount the events that transpired on the night of the incident in the conference room.

Shirley proceeded to narrate the details as requested.

Shirley's emotional state was still evident, her eyes red and swollen from crying due to Ruby's death.

"So, you're suggesting that Joseph intended to manipulate the situation at Runestone to acquire the shares you possess?" I think you should take a look at

Shirley said tearfully. "It must be the case."

"Did Ruby have any conflicts with anyone?" the police inquired.

"She was always engrossed in her cake shop, only focused on her work. Who could have a grudge against her? The only source of her displeasure was Joseph," Shirley replied.

Given Shirley's unstable mood, the police decided to keep their questioning brief.

Roy and Cassie, in turn, cooperated with the police investigation.

When asked if Joseph could be capable of killing Ruby, both Roy and Cassie firmly stated that it was impossible. They expressed disbelief that Joseph would engage in such a grave act.

They presented evidence supporting their claims, such as their absence from the premises after the eting, as well as the fact that the elevator in the building was operational at the ti. The image of two individuals leaving the building was captured by the elevator's surveillance cara.

Shirley and William appeared fatigued and sowhat distracted as they responded to the police's inquiries.

The assistant inford Chalrs about Kelly, a witness who seed composed and ready to provide answers, prompting Chalrs to begin the questioning process systematically.

"I had no clue what they were discussing," Kelly recounted, her voice tinged with weariness.

"You left the Runestone early?" the police questioned.

"Yes, because of my daughter..." Kelly's voice choked with emotion. "I was worried about her."

"Throughout the entire ti, the Lake family had been strongly against Joseph holding the Lake shares. How did you co to agree that night?" the police asked.

"I never intended to transfer my shares to Joseph, and when he made the request that night, almost everyone from the Lake family present objected. However, he proposed a temporary loan, and that's why I agreed. The situation at Runestone is currently in chaos, and I also hope to restore so calm as soon as possible," Kelly explained.

Surveillance footage indeed captured images of Kelly leaving the building as she departed in the elevator with other individuals. The police also located the person who had taken the elevator that night, and he confird Kelly's departure.

When it was William's turn to be questioned, his voice was hoarse and strained.

"As you're not in a board eting, who can confirm that you were at ho with your daughter?" the police inquired.

Upon hearing this, William appeared flustered and hastily replied, "Officer, I truly was at ho with my daughter. Her condition is extrely critical, and I couldn't leave her side. She can vouch for my presence at ho."

His voice carried a sense of urgency, fearing that the police might suspect him.

Chalrs noticed William's nervousness, which was a common reaction in such situations.

"Besides your daughter Lilith, is there anyone else who can confirm your presence at ho?" Chalrs asked.

William anxiously clenched his fingers and licked his lips, trying to recall any potential witnesses. Suddenly, he rembered, "There were servants in my house. They can testify that I was at ho throughout the entire night."

He hastily added, "Officer, I am innocent, truly."

Chalrs raised his hand to interrupt him and instructed his assistant to record William's statent.

The police proceeded to investigate the Lake family's household servants, who confird that William had indeed stayed at ho to accompany Lilith. They attested to the fact that Lilith's condition at the ti was highly unstable.

As the focus shifted to questioning Lilith, they observed her increasing nervousness. She tightly clung to Jay as if seeking comfort and security. One of her hands firmly held onto Jay's clothing, reminiscent of a distressed child.

Fortunately, Lilith appeared to be sober now, free from any substance addiction.

Chalrs and Jay were acquainted, and upon witnessing this scene, Chalrs turned to Jay and remarked, "I truly admire you." Not many people can endure the heartache of witnessing their loved one going through the detoxification process. Chalrs sincerely admired Jay's strength and resilience.
