Chapter 993
Furious, Chet started babbling, cursing from time to time. He was even repeatedly reminded not to make loud noises!
"Chet, I'm not even anxious. What are you angry about?"
Danica was actually willing to come forward and clarify for him. In that case, it was likely that the incident had nothing to do with her.
Chet took a deep breath. He was clearly anxious and frustrated.
"Frederick, the nature of this case really is terrible. I met up with Master Trevor just now. He found a lot of people, but none of them dared meddle in this. It seemed to be very tricky! Also, our stock... has dropped!"
If he ever found out who was behind that, he'd definitely skin that person alive!
"I knew it. That's one of the reasons why I called you over."
As their eyes met, Chet suddenly realized that from the beginning to the end, Frederick had been exceptionally cool-headed. Almost at the same time, his fickleness calmed down as well.
"Frederick?"
Frederick motioned him to get closer. He leaned in a little as well before saying a few words in a low voice.
"Understood! It's just, Frederick, won't it be too risky for us? In just a few days, never mind that we might lose more than hundreds of billions of dollars..."
"That's just market value, and they are just numbers! With Sofare Entertainment still existing, it's not easy for Soaver International to close down! This is also one of the reasons why we brothers calculated our shares in the first place. Isn't it a good thing to buy back the remaining stock at a low price? What you have to do now is not to worry about my case but to prevent others from taking advantage of the opportunity to buy our stock in bulk! With the stock dropping, there must be some shareholders who can't sit still! Some people are really short-sighted!"
When Soaver International first started, it was a shareholding system. During those years, although he had been buying the stocks vigorously, trying to take back all the shares as much as possible, the greater the Soaver International got, the harder it was to buy back the shares. At that moment, it was actually a good opportunity, even though it was also a pain to bear!
However, as long as his company was still there, it would just be the shrinking of its market value. It would be easy for it to bounce back to its original value. It didn't matter to them as they understood that a company which was at its peak would certainly experience a slight decline. After all, what they wanted was shares, not the market value!
"I get what you mean! Don't worry! I'll definitely handle the company's affairs well!" Chet also knew that the 'some people' he was talking about were those from the Clements family.
In short, they were facing troubles inside and outside!
"Alright. You don't have to worry about the Clements family. You don't have to say another word either. I'll ask Trevor to deal with this matter! As for the lawsuit, Noah is in charge. We didn't do anything. They can't hold us accountable. In this aspect, you will only need to cooperate with Noah for the time being! Of course, if you have time, you'd better pay some attention to it. I don't want to stay in prison for the rest of my life! I don't know why, but I feel that this matter is not that simple. Maybe it's not even a coincidence!"
"Do you mean that someone might have taken advantage of this opportunity to deliberately
create this accident?"
Frederick nodded and said, "It's just an intuition. I can't say for sure, but I'm innocent, so I'm not afraid! I'll get out of here sooner or later..."
"I understand! I'll prioritize them accordingly and continue searching for evidence! Frederick, Mr. Bowles and Mr. Johnson have sent people to search for evidence for you. Two heads are better than one. You'll be fine!"
"Yes. That's enough. It's time for you to go! Don't worry about me!"
Frederick waved his hand. Suddenly, he knocked himself on the head again, "By the way, get someone to bring Dotter in! Also, it's not difficult for you to bring in some good food, nice clothes, and books that could kill boredom, is it?" Dotter? The puppy? He was speechless...
With a sigh, Chet stood up. His heart was not as heavy as when he had entered the door. Obviously, he was much more relaxed. He made an OK gesture, but he couldn't help but to tease.
"Do you really think that you're here for a vacation? Frederick, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'll ask Axel to send the things over. If there's anything, I'll come and visit you!" "Alright..."
In the following few days, the news of Frederick being suspected of murdering and burning a body had made headlines. Compared to the case, his love life behind it was more interesting to the people. There was once that even his hair turning grey overnight had been composed into countless legendary versions. Naturally, the people were divided into two sides. Everyone was gossiping about it. Some even got into fights because of it. On another occasion, Mr. Clements' hair turning grey turned to have some dark and evil elements related to it,
stimulating curiousness.
Mr. Clements, together with the other members of The Four Great Masters of Casterwich City, once again stirred up the whole city.
At that time, everyone put down their
work and got busy with that matter.
They didn't expect so many things to happen during that period of time. Afraid that Victoria would know about Alleia's accident and had her situation worsened, Trevor didn't dare tell her anything about it. He had also delayed the plan of her discharge from the hospital. He even deliberately turned off her
information system and confiscated
her cell phone and laptop, which she usually used, to let her concentrate on resting and drawing.
Fortunately, Trevor didn't have to see the same headline every day after the incident was no longer the hottest topic in town. In addition, there were a lot of things to deal with at home. Trevor was busy every day. That day, after explaining to his family and reporting the progress, Trevor called Willy to discuss about it.
On the phone, Willy frowned and said.
"I know, it's a matter of life and death. Lauren's lawsuit is no rush. I talked to her. Two more days do not matter. I asked Noah to completely focus on his case. My men checked all over and they couldn't find any missing person who matches her characteristics at all. In nightclubs and entertainment venues, I haven't found anyone who matches either. Could it be that she's a prostitute?"
"Other than that, I really can't figure out who else could be missing for that many days without anyone calling the police. I also asked around, but there's no progress!"
"All right! Then I'll enlarge the scope of searching..."
Lauren walked out with a bowl of fruit and saw Willy furrowing his brows while on the phone again.
Seeing that he was at his wit's end, she herself was also wronged. On top of that, she was also pregnant. Regardless if it was because she felt pity for the victim, or that if she was still a wrongly accused defendant herself, Lauren just hoped that the case would come to light. She seemed to have thought of something and walked over to him.
"Looking for a needle in a haystack isn't going to work! To determine the identity of the deceased, we need to find a way to break down or narrow the scope from the corpse. Sharon is a forensic medical expert. Although she's not responsible for this case, I think she's more professional than us. Do you want me to ask her for you?"
Lauren's words made Willy knock himself on his head.
"That's right! How could I forget about her? She's a forensic medical expert and is more related to this kind of stuff than Carson! Laurie, could you please contact her? Or, can you ask her out for a meal? I'll invite Carson too. Perhaps they can have a breakthrough through their discussion!"
Just like that, they went their separate ways to make their phone calls.
