Chapter 462
Chapter 462 Is Joe Guilty?
That is to say, Aaron's actual location now may not be at the last position where the radar signal disappeared
Daisy was right, this is indeed good news for me, at least I can tell myself that Aaron is not in that area now
But her last sentence sank my heart to the bottom of the valley again, the faulty plane belonged to Joe!
I admit that my thoughts were somewhat malicious, but the fact is... If Aaron and Joe had gone on this business trip together and had experienced such a thing, then it wouldn't have mattered to me whose name the plane was
under
The current situation is that, according to Cinder's previous investigation, Joe was originally supposed to go to California with Aaron. However, on the day of departure, this trip was temporarily canceled due to other matters within the company
All of this was too coincidental. Now Aaron's whereabouts are unknown, but Joe is unharmed and staying in New York. I couldn't help but think of Cinder's hesitant expression when she discovered this matter earlier. To be honest, as Aaron's wife, it is hard for me not to suspect that this is a conspiracy by Joe
Although the brothers had a good relationship, and although Joe had always been decent to me and the children, human nature is terrifying
Who can guarantee that someone who has
always been good will not be driven by self-interest and become a villain?
I could hardly control my emotions and immediately went to the Morris family's mansion after asking Cinder to come and take care of the two children for me
As the car drove into the familiar mansion in the darkness, I couldn't help but take a deep breath
Although I have never felt the word "bustling" during my stay here, tonight the mansion seems unusually quiet
Mrs. Maria, Aaron's stepmother, was still at the hospital taking care of old Morris. Occasionally, a few servants would pass by in the yard, which reminded me of scenes from those horror movies
So I unconsciously quickened my pace until I pushed open the door to the inner room and saw the lights in the living room, as well as Joe sitting on the sofa, before finally breathing a sigh of relief
But obviously, I couldn't relax at this point
After the fear of the darkness outside dissipated, I immediately remembered the purpose of my hurried arrival today
When Joe curiously stood up and asked me what I was here for, I blurted out, "You have known for a long time that there is a problem with the radar system of your aircraft, right? Whether Aaron's disappearance was accidental or intentional, I need you to give me an answer!"
I admit my tone didn't sound good, so Joe was almost stunned in place after these words were
said, and then he asked me in surprise, "What are you saying? Olive, are you suspecting me of intentionally hurting Aaron?"
"It's just a reasonable guess! If you didn't know there was a problem with the plane, why would you change your itinerary at the last minute before the business trip? Joe, I never believe in coincidences in the world, or rather, I firmly believe that any coincidence is artificially created."
I stared into Joe's eyes and saw his gaze slowly shift away as I spoke. He seemed to want to explain something to me, but several times he opened his mouth and swallowed his words back
Guilty
Although emotionally, I really don't want to use
this word to describe Joe. But in my eyes at this moment, his evasive gaze and hesitant demeanor can only be explained by guilt, I can't think of any other reason
People change. Old Morris, who used to be a powerful figure in the business empire, has also become introspective and afraid of losing everything he has. He has become power-hungry and is willing to manipulate even his own son
Therefore, Joe may also develop feelings of jealousy after Aaron's recent success
I constantly rationalized my own speculations in my mind, and then confidently stared at Joe, attempting to find even bigger flaws in his eyes
But the reality was not as I had imagined. Joe did not angrily admit to committing a crime against Aaron, nor did he passionately defend himself for something he had not done
He didn't even forcefully refute a single word I said, but instead gently called out my name
"Olive, I know not being able to reach Aaron has been a big blow to you, but we have to believe that he is not in danger and he will definitely come back safely. As for the temporary change in plans you mentioned, I swear I had no idea that I would be removed from the list to go to California until my father told me. If you still don't believe it and want some peace of mind, you can check any deployment documents of the company in my name, all of which have my father's signature
"Please believe me, I would never do anything that would harm you... or Aaron."
