Chapter 507: Chapter 450: Recording
The breakfast at Clark Manor today was extremely generous, generous to the point that… Lila Campbell felt like they wanted Finley Clark to eat back all the meals he missed over the past decade.
“Eat properly, what are you doing?” Lila Campbell flicked Charles Amos’ head, “What did you do last night? You are looking listless.”
“You ask him.” Charles Amos glanced at Harton Clark.
Everyone at the table immediately looked at Harton Clark.
Harton Clark looked innocent, “What’s wrong with me? I even told you a story before you went to sleep last night.”
Charles Amos’ eyebrows almost shot up in amusement with this mention, “You have the nerve to say it out loud. You told me a ghost story. I dreamt I was chased by a female ghost all night, I am completely exhausted.”
Everyone at the table fell silent for a brief moment, then suddenly burst out in laughter.
Tom Wayne didn’t sleep last night, but he was in high spirits now. He laughed and said: “How dare you even tease a child.”
“Where do you see a child, he is a little devil.” Harton Clark said, “And a little devil who specializes in causing trouble.”
Charles Amos pursed his lips and started to eat his meal silently.
After Kevin Clark had peeled the egg, he broke it open and put the yolk in Charles’s bowl.
Charles, watching Kevin putting things into the bowl next to him, said without lifting his head, “Thank you, Dad.”
Kevin was taken aback and immediately turned to look at Charles.
All the people at the table became silent for a brief moment, looking at Charles and Kevin.
They saw the seldom surprise, joy, and somewhat overwhelmed emotions all mixed together on Kevin’s face.
Charles, appearing quite spiritless and seemingly lost in daydreaming, didn’t pay much attention to everyone at the table. He tilts his head to look at the food in his bowl.
An egg yolk.
!!!
His wandering soul semi-returned instantly.
He looked at the egg yolk for a while, then looked up at Kevin.
At the moment their eyes met, Kevin felt a pang of guilt in his heart.
But it was just a tiny bit.
And so, he took out the yolk, stretched his hand, and put it in Harton’s bowl who was sitting opposite him.
Harton, seeing the newly appeared egg yolk in his bowl, was like: “??????”
Then… Charles suddenly raised his voice: “Mom, Dad is picky about his food.”
“Hmm, I saw it.” Lila Campbell seeing the peeled egg in her dish by Kevin.
“So?” Charles said.
“So…” Lila Campbell took out the yolk from the egg, gave it to Kevin. Then turned to Charles, “Satisfied?”
“Yes.”
Kevin: “……”
Elina Clark, Tom Wayne, and Nathan Clark’s family were all holding back laughter.
Harton Clark ate the yolk in his bowl, chuckled, and thought to himself.
When he left home years ago, his younger brother was at the top of the food chain at home.
Now… at least someone could handle him.
…
After breakfast, Lila Campbell went to the Research Institute with Kevin as usual.
The driver was in front driving.
The two of them were sitting in the back.
Ever since they got in the car, Lila Campbell has been leaning back in her seat with her eyes closed resting. While Kevin’s one hand was holding his cell phone replying to messages, the other hand was gently rubbing her waist.
“Were the Miles family taken away?” Lila Campbell said with her eyes closed.
“Hmm.” Kevin Clark, looking at his phone, said, “Thirteen minutes ago, a video was posted by the media showing the Miles family being taken away by the police. Jack Thompson has also been rescued. He was tied in the trunk of a car, couldn’t even walk when he got out, so was taken to the hospital.”
Kevin Clark paused and said: “Jack Thompson was helped out of the Miles family, and since he saw the media, he has been shouting that he has a recording and evidence of the Miles family directing him.”
Charlotte Lane opened her eyes, and after a moment said: “He’s not completely stupid.”
“So, we can completely vindicate Claudia Zane.” Kevin Clark said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Charlotte Lane’s phone rang. It was a call from Holt Lawrence.
“Speak.” Charlotte Lane answered the call.
“Amelia Miles ran away before the police arrived. She must have seen the video posted online by the aunt. She is now at the airport, has bought a ticket to the M Continent and is about to go through security.” Holt Lawrence said, “Should we stop her, or what?”
Charlotte Lane thought about it and said: “Let her go. Keep a close eye on her to see who else is behind her.”
“Okay.” said Holt Lawrence, “That’s what I was thinking too. If we are to eliminate them, we should uproot them.”
“Hmm.”
…
Two days after the Miles family was taken away, the police released the tape recording provided by Ariel Lee.
The sound was indeed a bit unclear and there was some noise, but it was not difficult to hear that it was the voice of Old Master Miles and Ariel Lee’s voice.
Concrete evidence of intentional murder.
Besides, the evidence mentioned by Jack Thompson was revealed. A recording lasting more than an hour. No editing was done, everything was sent out.
According to Jack Thompson’s confession and the content of the recording, the whole process of the incident was roughly restored.
Jack Thompson’s company was facing bankruptcy, and he had once sought out Johanes Miles.
It was the time that Charlotte Lane had found from the surveillance of the tea room when the two met.
Jack Thompson wanted Johanes Miles to help him out of the spirit of college friendship, but the situation of the Miles Group was also bad, and Johanes Miles refused him.
However… two days later, the old master of the Miles family suddenly contacted him.
The two agreed to meet at a coffee shop where there was no surveillance on the whole street.
That is the day Jack Thompson made the recording with the voice recorder.
The old master agreed to invest two million to help Jack Thompson’s company through the crisis. The premise is… Jack Thompson has to do him a favor.
That is, let Jack Thompson pretend to confess out of guilt because of drunk, frame Claudia Zane and slander her for having a relationship with him.
It was Claudia Zane who cheated first.
Remove the Miles family and the Miles Group from this matter. Restore some of the reputation of the Miles family.
As long as this matter can be successful, if the Miles Group improves, the Miles family will give him another two million afterwards.
The old master also said that he didn’t have to worry about all the matters, he just needed to show his face.
The manuscript will be written for him.
From the recording, Jack Thompson initially refused.
He said: “Claudia and we are all college classmates. She is such a good girl, how can I ruin her reputation after her death.”
But after nearly an hour of persuasion from the old master, Jack Thompson agreed in the face of huge benefits.
That day after he agreed, the old master gave him two suitcases with one million cash in them and let him take them away.
The other million will be given to him after he releases the video.
Jack Thompson made the video a few days later, and then took it to the coffee house to show it to the old master.
According to Jack Thompson’s confession.
The old man felt okay after watching it that day, and asked him to set it up for timed forwarding.
Then he left the coffee shop with the other million, and was put in a car. He had been in the trunk since then.
The reason for the tape recorder was that he was afraid of accidents, so he left one and recorded the sound and put it in the safe at home.
And told his wife, if he was missing for more than twelve hours, call the police. If he couldn’t be found in a week, give the voice recorder in the safe to the police.
But it didn’t take a week, he was found in two nights.
The voice recorder was equipped with a storage card, and it had not been played on any device with a network, so neither Charlotte Lane nor Celestial Pivot found out.
