Alma froze.
“Marlon’s dead?” she asked in a trembling voice. “Ronnie and his father, too?”
The inspector smiled.
“That’s right.”
“We suspect that the person who heavily injured Anthony is also involved in these incidents.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t accuse anyone without solid proof.”
“Though we’re requesting you to cooperate with the investigation, it doesn’t mean you’re guilty of anything.
Silas squinted at the inspector. “Have you really figured out who the murderer was?”
He was certain the police shouldn’t be going against him in the first place.
After all, based on Anthony’s testimony, it should’ve been clear that Silas wasn’t involved.
He couldn’t figure out who had so much power to make the police forget about all the evidence and shift all blame toward him.
‘Is Harvey really powerful enough to clear the accusations on him?’
‘Is that why I’m being blamed when I’m trying to take his credit?’
The thought came to Silas’s mind, but he immediately squashed it a second later.
Harvey was a fierce man, but the Braff family had total control over the police and the government.
The Braffs were also honest and just. How could Harvey actually ask Soren to wipe away all his traces?
The inspector looked politely at Silas, who appeared puzzled.
“I know this is hard for you, Young Master John.”
“But we do need you to come back with us.”
“Both Ms. Zimmer and Maya’s testimonials state that you were the one who rushed into the Royal Clubhouse and beat up Anthony until he had a concussion.”
“With your power, it seems plausible that you got someone to kill Ronnie and Raylan so Anthony wouldn’t be able to take revenge against you.”
“Even so, these are just speculations. We need you to figure out how everything actually went.”
“Just go with them, Young Master John,” Lilian said. Of course, she had no idea just how serious the case was.
“We’ll testify for you!” she added eagerly.
“You were forced to hurt Anthony!”
“You had to save Mandy!”
“Self-defense is expected, anyway!”
“You’d never hire someone to murder people!”
“Maya will help you. You’ll be fine! Your hand was forced!”
“We’ll get you the best lawyer, too!”
“More importantly, you’re a young master of the John family. Who’d dare make you take such huge blame anyway?”
Lilian and Simon kept running their mouths, as if the police had nothing to incriminate Silas with. Silas’s eyes twitched frantically after hearing those words.
Only he understood that his position in the family wasn’t actually that prominent. The John family would never go against the Braff family for a small fry like him.
More importantly, Ronnie and Raylan were supported by someone more powerful.
If word were to spread that Silas was the one who got them both killed, nobody would be able to save him!
“Shut up! Shut up!”
Alma realized the severity of the situation.
“What are the chances of my brother being convicted?”
