novelxo Chapter 400 Neglecting Her
The next day, Molly woke up to a long message from Sebastian, which instantly brightened her mood like the sunny day outside.
Sebastian explained he had just started a new job with heavy responsibilities and had neglected her. He asked her not to be mad, saying, "In my heart, you'll always be the most important." He also promised that once things calmed down, he'd take an early vacation. "I'll go on a road trip with you, anywhere you want."
Sebastian added, "Molly, wait for me."
His words comforted her, making her feel special.
Since leaving the hospital, Sebastian had practically been living at the police station.
That morning, the Morales Group submitted evidence to Sebastian about the Tooker Group's fraudulent accounting.
In the afternoon, Emma showed up at the police station for the first time in days, looking at Glen, whose hair had turned completely white.
"Dad, how did this happen?" she asked.
Glen, who had sobered up a lot, asked, "Did you get it?"
Emma, knowing he meant the ten million dollars, nodded while crying.
Glen sighed in relief, "You go abroad, don't come back."
Emma's vision blurred with tears. Glen and Dennis had made a deal: Glen would take all the blame so Emma could get the money and be safe. Glen looked at Emma through the glass, maybe for the last time.
Emma tearfully watched Glen being taken away, feeling helpless.
She went to the Olteran Group, hoping Patrick could help rescue Glen, but she didn't even make it past their front door.
Next, she sought out Shawn from the Olteran family for help. Shawn received her, but Vera had been lured out for a walk by Cindy beforehand.
Vera was puzzled. "Cindy, are you hiding something from me?"
Shawn told Emma, "Have Glen tell me who instructed him to use a fake body to deceive me back then, and I'll save him."
The next news she received was that Glen had been sentenced to ten years in prison.
Emma sat on the ground, not knowing what to do.
Later, she disappeared.
Sebastian, with his considerable influence, found things easier to manage.
He handed off Glen's case to his subordinates and met privately with Patrick.
Patrick arranged to meet him at a coffee shop.
Sebastian said, "Glen took all the blame, and Emma went abroad."
Both were calm. Patrick pointed him in another direction. "You should visit the Miller family."
Sebastian wasn't a fool and didn't drink the coffee. "Mr. Kelly's lead came from you, and you directed me to capture Glen. Now you want me to investigate the Miller family. I'm beginning to think you're using me."
Patrick said, "Using is a harsh word. Let's say we have the same goal and a common enemy. Investigating the Miller family is your duty as a cop. Meanwhile, Alan is also after Molly!
Patrick's tone turned serious as he added, "The person Alan saw in the photo I sent you was Dennis' driver. Dennis is likely the one pulling the strings behind the Tooker Group and might even be the mastermind behind the events sixteen years ago."
Sebastian's grip on the coffee cup tightened. "Do you have evidence?"
"Motivation is enough," ;Patrick said.
They sat in the coffee shop for two hours before parting ways to handle their tasks.
Sebastian took his team to Vertex Innovations Group to find Alan and check his whereabouts last Tuesday night.
Alan, aware of Jerry's sensitive position, falsely claimed, "I was resting at home that night."
Sebastian showed him a photo of meeting Jeffrey. "If your memory's failing you, why don't you come with us to the interrogation room and refresh your memory?"
When Jesse and Dawn heard that Alan had been taken in, Dawn was distraught, demanding that Sebastian return Alan immediately or face a scene at the MS Group's entrance.
Jesse was exasperated with Dawn, pleading for her not to make things worse.
"Damn it! Once Alan's back, we're getting a divorce," Jesse shouted.
Jeffrey was about to take Dennis to the suburban villa to visit Emily.
But before they could leave, the police arrived.
Glancing at Dennis in the back seat, Jeffrey felt a jolt of anxiety. He thought, 'What on earth could be the reason for this sudden visit?'
Jeffrey was taken away, and the police asked Dennis, "Mr. Turner, where are you going? I can take you."
Dennis forced a smile. "I'll wait for Jeffrey to come back."
Jeffrey was brought to the interrogation room. Sebastian had all his personal info. In his youth, Jeffrey was a martial arts champion with a bright future but ended up as Dennis' bodyguard for decades. Sebastian called Sam over and whispered something.
Sam got the hint and entered the interrogation room with a notebook and another colleague.
Jeffrey asked calmly, "Why did you arrest me?"
Sam countered, "You don't know why we arrested you, yet you came with us?"
Jeffrey was silent for a moment, then cunningly said, "Since you came to arrest me, I should cooperate. It's my duty as a citizen."
Sam said, "Do you know why Mr. Chase isn't personally interrogating you? Because he's the victim of a car accident, and by regulations, he must avoid it."
Jeffrey's hands clenched into fists, his eyes blinking rapidly.
Sebastian, in his police uniform, observed from the doorway.
Hearing about Sebastian's car accident, Jeffrey was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What car accident? What is he avoiding?"
Sam realized he wasn't falling for the trick.
Sebastian picked up the intercom and told Sam, "He's already on guard. Switch to questions about Vertex Innovations Group."
Sam skipped the car accident topic and said, "Last Tuesday, you confiscated all electronic devices from Mr. Miller of Vertex Innovations Group and took him to the suburbs. Who did you meet?" "It was just a private chat between him and me."
Sebastian, known for his skill in interrogation, instructed Sam to skip the meeting details and move on to the accident.
In half an hour, Sam jumped back and forth with questions for Jeffrey.
Jeffrey started calm but grew increasingly agitated. His fists clenched in frustration, and he seemed ready to lunge at Sam.
Suddenly, Jerry's men stormed in.
"Mr. Chase, are you getting too arrogant?" Jerry challenged.
Sebastian responded coolly, "If I do nothing, you'll still find a way to accuse me of misconduct. This isn't just about a suspension anymore. "Am I right?"
Jerry shot back, "Are you really choosing to stand against me completely?"
