As soon as Shane’s car stopped at the police station entrance, he encountered Franklin Sutton.
Franklin Sutton had always found Shane distasteful, but seeing Audrey Sutton with him this ti, he gave her face and didn’t make things difficult for him.
From the officer in charge of the case, they learned: "That person is a fool, has ntal issues, but surely soone must have instructed him to do this. In the police car, he kept mumbling things like ’kill’ and ’give sothing good to eat.’ He must have been used, but it’s impossible to communicate with him to get any information, as he constantly just demands food."
Audrey Sutton also went with Shane to see the suspect, who indeed appeared to be a fool. They heard he was a holess person from the urban village, and no one knew where he ca from or what his na was.
People familiar with him said that if you gave him food and asked him to do sothing, he would do it.
But typically, everyone only asked him to clean or take out the trash; murder was new.
Clearly, soone had taken advantage of this.
Audrey thought of Lan Irving’s smile and an idea erged in her mind.
Could all of this have been orchestrated by Lan Irving?
But hiring a fool to do such a thing, if that stab had struck a vital point, was it too big a gamble?
Currently, there is no evidence pointing to Lan Irving, and Audrey doesn’t dare tell Shane her suspicion, fearing he would think she was being petty and biased against Lan Irving.
Moreover, since Lan Irving had just taken a blow for him, if she ca out now and said it was Lan Irving’s conspiracy, Shane would surely think her narrow-minded and foolish.
Returning to the car, after Shane started the engine, he said, "I’ll take you back to school first. With the investigation still ongoing, don’t wander around if you don’t have to, wait for after school, and also watch out for your own safety at school."
Audrey worriedly said to him, "It’s you who should be careful; that person seed to be after you. If soone is truly out to harm you, having failed this ti, they might plan sothing else; it’s you who should be more cautious."
Shane smiled, "Got it. But whoever they are, they won’t get a second chance after this failed attempt."
"Don’t be careless."
"Don’t worry. I won’t let you beco a widow so young."
Audrey glared at him and muttered, "Why are you in the mood to joke at a ti like this?"
He laughed but said no more.
The car fell silent for a bit, and as they were nearing the school, he suddenly said, "Sorry for dragging you into this ss."
Audrey paused, thought about his words, and then said, "...After all, in the eyes of the outside world, we’re husband and wife, helping each other is only right."
Shane curled his lips into a smile, which seed slightly forced, as if he wasn’t quite satisfied with her response.
Audrey hesitated, pushed the car door open, and before stepping out, she reminded him again, "Take care."
"Mm."
Pretending not to be reluctant, Audrey walked towards the dormitory building, but halfway there, she turned to look back, only to see his car still parked at the entrance.
The car window was tightly shut, and she wasn’t sure if he was watching her.
She quickly looked away and ran into the dormitory building.
In fact, what she wanted to say just now was that she wasn’t afraid of these troubles and wished he would bother her for a lifeti.
It’s just that this answer is still a little hard to express right now.
After climbing upstairs, Audrey stood at the edge of the corridor and glanced over—the spot that was empty when he parked was now vacant, having left soti unknown.
When Audrey returned to her dorm, Flora Lane and others were discussing the unexpected event at the funeral.
Seeing Audrey co in, Barry Barrett hurriedly asked, "Are you alright, Sutton?"
Audrey shook her head with a smile, "I’m okay."
Seraphina Vaughn asked her, "Was it really Vincent Warner who did it?"
"The police are still investigating, I don’t know the specific reasons either."
Flora Lane comnted, "I just saw online that the death of the eldest son of the Warner family seed not to be an accident. So say Vincent Warner orchestrated it to take the family fortune all for himself."
Barry Barrett remarked, "He actually turned on his close brother like that. The will said half each, not like he was getting nothing, yet he went so far as to kill, that’s really inhumane."
Seraphina Vaughn said, "People are never satisfied."
Audrey contemplatively said, "I don’t think it was Vincent Warner."
The three of them simultaneously looked at her, and Barry asked, "Sutton, do you know so inside information? Tell us."
"How would I know any inside information? I just feel like he doesn’t seem to be that kind of person."
Seraphina nodded, "Indeed, I’ve seen a few interviews with Vincent Warner, he seems quite gentle and amicable."
Flora Lane cautioned, "You can never know soone’s true heart. Aud, be extra careful with your Third Young Master these days."
Audrey nodded, lost in thought, as she tidied up the textbooks on her desk.
The reason she believed Vincent Warner wasn’t the true villain was twofold: from her few encounters, he didn’t seem like soone blinded by greed, and Lan Irving’s unusual reaction.
Looking back, during the sudden turn of events, Lan Irving was so distance away from her and Shane. For her to rush over to block the knife, her reaction and speed seed astonishingly quick.
The scene was chaotic at the ti, and Audrey didn’t see clearly how Lan Irving ca over, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt it seed like Lan Irving knew in advance about the impending attack, which is why she so precisely and quickly blocked the blade.
Of course, all these are just Audrey’s speculations without evidence, and she can’t judge Lan Irving guilty based on this alone.
After all, Lan Irving did take that stab for real.
If all this was indeed Lan Irving’s sche, it would an that Audrey had been underestimating her all along, her inner ruthlessness not less than that of Clarissa Morgan.
After the funeral, Shane and Vincent Warner both ca forward to clarify the events that happened there.
Although Shane still harbored doubts about Vincent, outwardly he helped clear Vincent’s na, claiming it was rely a random act by a ntally ill person, an accident, unrelated to anyone else.
Ultimately, rumors of the brothers killing each other would impact the future progress of the Warner Group.
The wave had settled, but it didn’t an the investigation into the matter was over.
Shane arranged for the assailant to be sent to the best psychiatric hospital for isolation and protection because he believed the mastermind would still try to silence him, leaving them completely clueless at that ti.
If it really was Vincent, then this ti, he must catch him slipping, even as a form of vengeance for his brother.
Around five in the afternoon, Shane left the office and called Audrey: "Where are you?"
On the phone, Audrey replied, "At the hospital?"
Shane frowned slightly, speaking with a steady tone, "What are you doing at the hospital? Are you not feeling well?"
"Visiting your little secretary, of course."
