Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Hiring a Murderer
“Suicide out of fear of punishnt?” Carolline Ruiz stared at the four characters on the screen, muttering the words to herself in disbelief.
An accident at most, after all, even if it was drunk driving, it would only result in the revocation of the driver’s license and imprisonnt for a few years, would it really be serious enough to commit suicide out of fear of punishnt?
“…” gan Clifton took back her phone, and Carolline Ruiz’s head followed as gan Clifton laughed and explained, “The text description says that the driver was so scared of taking responsibility that he scared himself to death and committed suicide in the end due to unbearable ntal tornt.”
“ntal tornt?” Carolline Ruiz was sowhat puzzled, as there were many traffic accidents in the world every day, and none of the perpetrators seed to have suffered such ntal tornt.
“Do you find it incredible too, don’t you?” gan Clifton raised her eyebrows. She thought this whole thing was mysterious, so she had soone investigate what Matilda Ferguson was doing during the ti Bryan Cooper had his car accident.
At that ti, Carolline Ruiz had called to tell her to inform Matilda Ferguson, but she didn’t want to. However, when she saw the news this morning and was having dinner with her parents, she inquired about it indirectly.
It was only then that she learned that Matilda Ferguson’s aunt and uncle had already found another man for Matilda Ferguson, and that Matilda Ferguson was with that man on that day. gan Clifton truly found Matilda Ferguson disgusting.
At the sa ti, she felt sorry for Bryan Cooper, as well as for the even more foolish Carolline Ruiz.
“So, Bryan Cooper really can’t stand up anymore?” gan Clifton suddenly shifted the topic, and Carolline Ruiz was almost caught off guard, unable to understand how her thinking could be so jumpy.
“He chose to give up on his own.” After a brief mont of astonishnt, Carolline Ruiz’s answer was sowhat helpless, and she felt annoyed when she thought about it.
She truly couldn’t understand why Bryan Cooper would choose to give up when he had the chance to get better. He was utterly unreceptive, which frustrated her.
“Carolline, do you think this car accident was a conspiracy? What if soone hired an assassin and now that Bryan Cooper is in this state, the driver should die in guilt.” And the hidden mastermind behind the scenes wouldn’t have to worry about being exposed.
The more gan Clifton spoke, the more she believed this to be true. It didn’t matter if Bryan Cooper was dead or not; if he died, it would be for the best. However, if he didn’t die this ti, the perpetrator would at least be satisfied, as Bryan Cooper was crippled. So at this point, the driver should be disposed of like a dead dog to avoid arousing suspicion from the Hawkins Family.
After all, there was no airtight wall in the world. No one would feel good with soone else holding their handle.
“…You’ve been watching too many ssy things.” Carolline Ruiz was stunned for a mont before replying like this.
She didn’t think that Bryan Cooper was a repulsive person, even after he said all those words to her. She still didn’t hate him. Her likes and dislikes were sowhat biased, so if she didn’t hate soone, they probably wouldn’t have any enemies.
Besides, she sincerely thought that gan Clifton had seen too many cases of murder for love and hatred in the news. Carolline Ruiz preferred not to see them.
As she said, she believed that although the world was vast, every corner might not be bright and clean, but she still chose to believe that in this world, there were more places with brightness and cleanliness.
Looking at Bryan Cooper’s case, for example, if it weren’t for everyone’s joint efforts to help, perhaps the perpetrator driver might have taken the opportunity to escape in the chaos and wouldn’t have committed suicide for fear of punishnt.
At that ti, both her mind and body were focused on Bryan Cooper, so naturally, she couldn’t pay attention to the driver’s situation.
“Do you think you’re the only one who suspects this? I can tell you that on the day Bryan Cooper was rescued, the old Mr. Hawkins and his special assistant, Xavier Estrada, went to the Police Station to investigate.” gan Clifton rolled her eyes. It was just that they didn’t find anything in the end.
“…” Carolline Ruiz couldn’t say anything. What the Hawkins Family mbers suspected was their own family affair. She rembered that she had indeed t Xavier Estrada when she ca out that day. Did Bryan Cooper suspect sothing as well?
However, if it was a case of hiring an assassin to kill, would it have sothing to do with Matilda Ferguson?
In Carolline Ruiz’s mind, the face of the man next to Matilda Ferguson suddenly appeared.
She didn’t know that man.
There wasn’t much ti for them to waste, and they hadn’t even finished their cola when Sophie Thompson called them. The two hurried back to the dormitory.
——
At the sa ti, the Hawkins Family was in an extrely angry atmosphere at ho, an atmosphere that had lasted all day.
After the driver committed suicide in prison due to fear of punishnt, the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins were furious, and Austin Hawkins imdiately went out to investigate.
William Hawkins also wanted to intervene and was about to call Edo Holt when he was stopped by Bryan Cooper.
When Bryan Cooper arrived, his father, Austin Hawkins, had already left, so naturally, he couldn’t stop him. However, William Hawkins let Bryan Cooper stop him. Bryan was used to dealing with his own issues.
Originally, Bryan wanted to comfort his grandparents more, but in the end, because of Xavier Estrada’s arrival, he glanced at them and then returned to his place with Xavier Estrada.
The two old people sighed with their heads bowed. If the perpetrator didn’t die at this ti, they might have believed that this car accident was just an accident. But the sudden death of the perpetrator now made this accident seem more intentional.
No one was a fool. It was clear that soone was targeting Bryan Cooper intentionally, but he overlooked it.
Just that he didn’t think those who targeted him were all because of his business capabilities, perhaps there were other reasons as well. So, he specifically instructed Xavier Estrada on so matters.
Anyway, people dead are dead, and if he couldn’t find any clues here, he would look for them elsewhere in the future.
“Xavier, I’m sorry. It’s my incompetence.” Xavier Estrada was full of apologies. He had been careful and considerate, but he never expected the driver to choose suicide in the end.
“It has nothing to do with you. It’s just that soone is more ruthless than us.” While staying at ho these days, Bryan Cooper thought a lot and also realized a lot. Even though he had tried to remain as low-key as possible, it was clear that he had still made enemies.
It was apparent that soone was deliberately targeting him, and he hadn’t noticed it himself.
However, he didn’t think that the people targeting him were solely because of his business or other reasons. So, he instructed Xavier Estrada on so specific things.
With that being said, Bryan Cooper handed over a few MMS ssages he had received from Ailin Ferguson to Xavier Estrada to take a look, remaining calm and composed.
Xavier Estrada flipped through the MMS ssages, his pupils suddenly shrinking before he returned the phone to Bryan Cooper, “Sir, I’ll go first.”
Bryan Cooper didn’t object and calmly watched the pond where he had raised so koi fish. He picked up a bag of feed from the grass, gently pinching it in his hand, and slowly approached the pond.
