Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

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withdrawn 400 thousand dollars with him one day before earlier.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.
