Chapter 372 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets
It was not until he saw the video of him depositing the money with Owen that he knew that he could not deny it. So, he started to
make up a story. He said he and Owen were friends. He happened to have some money, so he had proposed to Owen to jointly
open a drugstore. The money he gave Owen was the start-up capital. In order to make his words sound more convincing, Craig
even painted a vivid picture of the current landscape of traditional medicine with an unceasing flow of words. He said animatedly,
“Traditional medicine is gaining more popularity. The drugstores selling traditional medicine hardly had any business in the past.
But now, those stores are packed with customers. People are paying more attention to their health. “In the past, when they have
a nodule or something like that, they would undergo surgery to remove it. Now, more people trust traditional medicine. They will
buy traditional medicine to treat nodules.” Craig was rattling on it, but little did he know that the police only listened to the
evidence.
It was useless no matter what he said. The police just showed him the evidence that Michelle, Jared’s wife, had withdrawn 400
thousand dollars with him one day before earlier. The police officer who took Craig’s statement asked, “What else do you want to
say?” Craig rolled his eyes and continued to fabricate stories. He said Michelle was also optimistic about the current traditional
medicine market, so she wanted to invest some money and become a shareholder. “The dignified Mrs. Blake of Blake
Corporation wants to invest 400 thousand dollars in traditional medicine simply because she’s optimistic about the market?” the
police officer asked. Craig tried to cover up his lies, “That’s right. Mrs. Blake probably just wants to give it a try first and she will
invest more money in the future if everything goes well.” The police pulled out Craig’s contact list and questioned him sternly,
“You and Owen are friends, but you don’t even have his Whatsapp?” Craig’s pupils constricted in panic. He immediately
explained, “We always call each other. That’s why I didn’t add him on Whatsapp.” “How long have you been contacting each
other by phone? Only four days?” the police officer asked solemnly again.
Craig’s mind was in a tumult as he continued to spin his stories. “We’re... Police Officer, here is the thing. Owen and I haven’t
known each other for long, but we hit it off right away, I met him half a year ago when I went to the drugstore to buy medicine.
Every time I went there, we would Chat a little. Later on, we became closer and thought that we could open a drugstore
together.” “Owen said you only met each other four days. ago.” The police officer’s tone of voice became more serious. “Craig,
this is the police station. Every word you say can be used as evidence in court. I hope you won’t lie. Lying is extremely
disadvantageous to your defense or sentencing.” Craig grew more panicky when he heard the word sentencing. The police
continued to pressure him. “Owen has confessed that you have only known each other for four days. You gave him the money
and told him to change the medicinal ingredients on Madam Blake’s prescription.” Craig became dejected when he knew that he
couldn’t hide it anymore. The police officer pressed on, “Who asked you to do this? Craig, you’re a highly educated person. You
should know very well that there’s a huge difference between a mastermind and an accomplice.
Admitting to it and covering up for the mastermind will bring a completely different outcome too.” Craig heaved a long sigh and
began to disclose everything under pressure. He told the police that he was instigated by Jared. At first, he was unwilling to do
that. After all, it would take a person’s life. Jared said that Preston had woken up. If he wanted to take ownership of Blake
Corporation, he had to kill Madam Blake before she made her will. Jared was the old lady’s only son. After she died, all the
assets under her name would be inherited by him. Since Craig wanted to confess, he had to make it clear that Jared was the
mastermind. He couldn’t care less about offending his boss. now. When he was taken away by the police, he expected that
Jared would come to get him out. But after a long while, there was no sight of his boss. Since Owen had confessed, he really
could not conceal it anymore. After Craig made an admission, Doctor Darren also confessed. Doctor Darren had great medical
skills, but he was greedy and mentally weak.
When the police asked him where he got the gold bars from, he barely struggled to hide everything. With his face covered in
tears, he told them that Michelle had asked him out for a consultation and Jared had tempted him with the gold bars. However,
he denied that he wanted to harm anyone. Jared showed him a prescription and asked him which medicinal ingredients could be
substituted. He thought Jared wanted to replace the costly medicinal ingredients with cheap ones. Therefore, he had a casual
discussion with Jared. “He gave you more than one hundred gold bars. for a casual discussion?” the police questioned. Doctor
Darren explained repeatedly that he thought Blake Corporation made a lot of money, and that’s why Jared had rewarded him
handsomely. In fact, the doctor hated himself very much. When he first met Jared, he was mentally strong and very careful.
He didn’t write the prescription, and he had asked Jared to do so himself. Originally, he could have denied everything. But as
soon as he saw the police, he was so scared that his legs went weak. He couldn’t control himself and admitted something he
shouldn’t have admitted. It was too late to deny it now. He was also mad at his son for pushing him to the edge. Initially, they had
an agreement to wait until everything was completely over before selling the gold bars. But his son kept urging him. Now, he had
gotten himself into deep water. If he had known it, he wouldn’t have told his son about the gold. He was so mad at himself when
he thought about it. Under the police’s interrogation, he could only reveal everything honestly. All the evidence showed that Jared
and Michelle were the real masterminds. Caleb personally led his team to go and arrest them. At the villa.
Jared had a bad feeling. He thought that he could not wait any longer. He needed to make a move. Suddenly, he took Michelle’s
hand and said, “Honey, let’s go upstairs. I have something to tell you.” Seeing Jared’s solemn expression, Michelle also had a
fretful look on her face. She immediately followed her husband upstairs. Jared went straight into the study. After Michelle walked
into the room, Jared said gravely, “Close the door.” Michelle quickly did as he said. “Honey, come here,” Jared told his wife.
Michelle walked up to him and the man reached out to hold her hand.
“Jared, what’s wrong? You’re making me very scared.” Michelle was ill at ease when she saw that Jared looked as if it was the
end of the world. Jared let out a long sigh and said, “Michelle, we’re in big trouble.” Michelle looked unblinkingly at the man.
Jared stated, “Craig and the drugstore staff are in the police station, and Doctor Darren is unreachable. He has probably been
taken away by the police too. Soon, they will come to us.” “Didn’t we make a pact that we won’t give each other up even if we are
taken to the police station?” Michelle said angrily. Jared sighed again. “Most people will surrender when they get there.” Michelle
frowned. “Jared, what are you talking about? We did it very carefully and covertly. Let’s not scare ourselves, alright? Even if they
say it’s us, there’s no proof. We didn’t transfer the money to them, nor did we have any dealings with them.” “But you called
Doctor Darren,” said Jared.
