Chapter 2621 Get Others to Do the Dirty Work
“Who was it from?”
“The investment was from Noah’s account. Just before Noah was arrested by the police, the bank said that Noah transferred the money at the last minute. If not mistaken, this money will be transferred to the Nelson family.”
“It looks like Noah didn’t plan to hide his identity for long even if we didn’t attend Floyd’s birthday banquet.”
Selena curled her lips and thought that it was still too late.
It was as if something grazed her heart and made her emotions surge nonstop like the rough waves on the sea.
It felt like an idea was emerging.
“No, he’s not that stupid. Eric, I have a feeling that something is wrong. Although my uncle and aunt hate me, there’s no need to kill me. What good will it do them to have me dead?”
Selena grasped the most crucial point. “Even if Noah gave them money, they would still end up offending you!”
Eric looked at Selena deeply. He stretched out his hand and pinched her face as a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
“Mrs. Ferguson, have you become smarter?”
Selena frowned. Did Eric already think of this a long time ago?
Eric said seriously, “So, I suspect that Noah was instigated by another person. Noah could have hidden his identity since he had been doing so safely for twenty years. Why did he suddenly show his hand? Someone must have wanted to get rid of Noah.”
When Selena heard this, the thoughts in her mind suddenly became clear.
“You mean, someone wanted us to do the dirty work?”
“Right.”
Eric smiled.
The doctor came over. “Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, Jennifer has woken up.”
Eric nodded, then took Selena’s hand and walked out.
Since the last time they found out about Jennifer drugging the nurse, the doctor did not dare to keep Jennifer awake all day.
They would add some sleeping pills to her medicine.
This was the only way Jennifer would behave,
The doctor moved another patient who was staying with Jennifer out in advance before Eric and Selena went in.
Seeing the couple, Jennifer sat up on the bed in an instant. Her eyes were sober and sharp.
“You’re finally here! Mr. Ferguson, Selena, you have locked me up long enough. Why don’t you let me go? I promise that I won’t say a word after I get out. I won’t trouble you again. I’ll go as far away as I can and never appear in front of you again…”
Jennifer wanted to shed tears of grievance, but after sobbing for a long time, no tears came out.
Selena knew that Jennifer was just acting.
Anyway, Jennifer was not acting for Selena.
Women did not care about another woman’s tears.
However, a man would be moved by a woman’s tears.
Selena raised her eyes to see Eric’s expression.
Eric’s face was stern with a chill in his eyes. He looked at Jennifer with impatience and disgust.
“Last time, you deliberately misled us to find trouble with Floyd. Did you want to divert attention from Noah, or did you want the Stanton family and the Ferguson family to turn against each other?”
Eric asked bluntly.
Jennifer was stunned for a moment.
Eric did not want to beat around the bush, nor did he need to.
If Jennifer could not provide any useful information, Eric would not let her go easily.
Jennifer misled them to Floyd, which indeed caused a rift between the Stantons and Fergusons.
If Eric had not been humble and taken the initiative to apologize, the Stantons and the Fergusons would have turned against each other, like fire and ice.
They easily used a single name to destabilize the relationship between Ferguson Corporation and Stanton Corporation.
Upon closer look, it was not difficult to see that Jennifer might have said Floyd’s name on purpose.
Jennifer blinked to hide her gaffe.
“What? What did I say? When did I say that? I don’t remember… Isn’t Floyd the chairman of Stanton Corporation? How could I have contact with such a bigwig?”
Jennifer truly was a first-rate actor.
Eric snorted coldly, pulled Selena over, and walked out.
Jennifer suddenly panicked.
“Wait a moment…”
“I remember now! It was Noah… Noah is your biological father. He ordered me to kidnap you and gave me a sum of money. There, I told you everything now. Can I leave this place?”
Jennifer looked expectantly at the couple in front of her.
She would have never said this, but at this time, she confessed everything without much effort.
However, it was too late.
Eric’s eyes were cold without the slightest ripple. He paused, then turned to look at her.
“I don’t want to know what already happened.”
Jennifer’s whole body stiffened, and her face became increasingly glum.
Selena watched from the sidelines. She admired Eric’s negotiation skills.
Eric stood there and looked at Jennifer, giving off a very strong sense of oppression.
It felt like he could see through Jennifer’s lies.
Jennifer could not stand the pressure and was quickly defeated.
Seeing that Jennifer was silent, Eric turned around and walked out again.
Jennifer was finally afraid.
She shouted in a panic.
“I’ll tell you!”
Her voice trembled slightly.
Hesitation and struggle were written all over her face.
Even if Jennifer was wary, that person was still not as powerful as Eric.
She had already provoked Eric by misleading him before.
Now, Eric already knew the truth and wanted Jennifer to confess.
If Jennifer did not confess, she might be stuck in this psychiatric hospital for the rest of her life!
“Noah gave me the money and asked me to attack Selena. But before he approached, someone came to me first.”
Jennifer lowered her eyes. Her expression was somewhat flustered…
Eric and Selena looked at each other, but they did not speak.
……
One hour later, the couple left hand in hand and got into the car.
Selena could not help but ask, “Are you sure that the person will show themself?”
“If I’m guessing correctly, they should show themself soon. Otherwise, Noah’s sacrifice would be in vain.”
Selena chuckled lightly.
“Noah has also been evil all his life. He never expected to be played by another person.”
“You can still laugh?”
Eric looked at her with a half-smile.
He had underestimated Selena’s ability to withstand stress.
Selena leaned on his shoulder and sighed. His warm scent made her feel at ease.
“Of course, I can! I have you, anyway.”
……
Stanton Mansion.
Everyone was in a bad mood recently due to Noah’s affairs.
Aida did not return to the Stanton Mansion until her face was recovered so as not to make Floyd feel uncomfortable.
Although Floyd did not say it, he was furious and blamed himself because of what Noah did, especially after the police told him the results of the investigation. Noah was involved in both commercial and
criminal cases.
Only then did Floyd realize that he did not know anything about his younger brother.
Usually, Floyd only felt that Noah was incapable at work and was easily deceived because Noah could let go of a project if others coaxed him.
Noah also married an aggressive woman and treated his stepdaughter as a treasure. That was why his stepdaughter developed an arrogant and domineering character. In the end, she got into trouble and implicated him.
