Chapter 352 The Truth
Eugene was still sitting on the sofa, and he was playing games on his phone. He didn’t even lift his eyes and just asked coldly, “So, will you tell me now?”
Robin wasn’t willing to talk, but if he refused, he would die. He never wanted to experience that punishment ever again. His mind started racing and he only spoke after a while, “Will you let me go if I tell you?”
Eugene continued to play his mobile game as he sneered, “You’re bargaining before you even speak? What right do you have?”
Robin surrendered and replied, “It was my cousin, Aleena Jones, who wanted me to look for Luca Matthews!”
After hearing his reply, Eugene’s body froze, causing the character in his mobile game to be slain. He looked at Robin in astonishment. “Aleena Jones?”
Robin peeked at him. “Yes.”
Although Eugene had suspected it might be Aleena Jones, he didn’t think she would have the guts. Who knew that it would really be her?
“Go on!”
Robin continued, “Aleena likes you a lot. Previously at Ruby Palace, after you had given her a warning and left with Miss Maxwell, she had me look for Luca Matthews. We wanted him to have an alliance with us to spite Miss Maxwell, but before we could carry out our plan, Luca Matthews was already dead. At first, we thought it was just an accident, then we found out that Luca had once sent someone to run into Miss Maxwell. But this time, it really wasn’t us who sent Luca to run into Miss Maxwell.”
The pupils of Eugene’s eyes constricted. “What was your plan for Olivia?”
Robin carefully peeked at Eugene’s face again. “W-We also planned on using drunk driving as an excuse, but it really wasn’t us this time. Our plan was supposed to be enacted three days later, but by then, Luca had already run into Miss Maxwell and died. We were afraid that you would think we were the ones who did it, so we cancelled the plan.”
Eugene frowned as Robin’s answer was surprising. “Do you have any evidence that it wasn’t you who did it?”
Robin panicked and explained hurriedly, “I-I don’t have any proof, but it really wasn’t us. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Aleena. We originally thought Luca’s death had something to do with you.”
Eugene closed his eyes. If it wasn’t them, this matter would be more complicated.
It was obvious that someone was trying to frame them. This person not only knew of Aleena and Robin’s plan, but also took advantage of this chance to target Olivia.
They knew that he would investigate, and even managed to kill Matthews before he could get to him.
Even to this day, he could only find out that Matthews had been in close contact with Robin. However, his instincts were telling him that Robin was telling the truth.
This person was so meticulous it was frightening!
Besides that, that person seemed to be very well-connected and never left a trace!
Eugene got up and prepared to leave.
Robin pleaded with him. “Eugene, please let me go. We really didn’t do anything. It was Matthews who took action himself and we had no idea about it either.”
Eugene stopped and lowered his gaze at him. “Even if it wasn’t you who did it this time, but if it wasn’t for the two of you who suggested this plan, Matthews wouldn’t have followed the plan. What are you feeling aggrieved about?”
With that, he turned around and walked away.
Curtis immediately followed him. “President Nolan, what should we do now?”
Eugene was a little annoyed as this meant that they had reached a dead end again. He gave it a thought and said, “Go back and check on everyone who had been in contact with Luca Matthews for this month. There must be someone else who is suspicious.”
Curtis looked at Eugene and held back from what he wanted to say. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that President Nolan was making a mountain out of a molehill.
In the end, he couldn’t hold back anymore and finally asked, “President Nolan, do you think we’re overcomplicating things? Maybe it was Luca Matthews who did it, and his death was just an accident.”
