Gluey Love Between Us novel Chapter 1657

Lucian looked at her and smiled coldly. "Do you want money or go to jail?"

The elder sister was stunned, and the look on her face went stiff. "What... what do you mean?" Jail? How could it be possible? Why would they go to jail?

No, she had to get the money as soon as possible.

Lucian's gaze was cold. Although he look very elegant, when he was angry, his cold face was rather frightening.

His black eyes were not as threatening as Victor's, but they still seemed to contain the power to make people scared. He would not lose his temper easily, but even the calmness would be enough to make people shiver.

The eldest sister lowered her head immediately, and her courage seemed to have been shattered totally.

Lucian didn't say anything to her anymore. He looked at Victor and said, "Take Eden back to rest first. Leave everything to me and Dean."

"Okay." Victor nodded. After saying something to the police officer, he left with Eden in his arms.

The three family members of the deceased were not so easy to deal with. Seeing Victor leaving, the mother and daughters were about to make trouble. Lucian took a step forward, and his deep eyes sharply swept the three of them, forcing them to swallow their words back.

On the other side, the reporters had already rushed into the lobby on the first floor, and Dean had already prepared for everything.

Lucian followed the onlookers to the door and took the family members of the deceased in. The police were there anyway, so there was nothing they need to worry about. They wanted to see how they would deal with the matter.

Irving looked at Victor and Eden who disappeared in the crowd. He pursed his lips bitterly and left without saying anything.

Victor got into the car with Eden and carefully fastened the seat belt for her.

"Why did you come all the way here?" Victor looked at her tired face, and his eyes became gentler.

"You didn't answer the phone nor send me a message. I was worried about you." Eden felt a little upset all of a sudden. They had been together all the time for the past few years, so she was naturally not used to it.

Usually, even when she left for a little while, he could not help calling her or sending her messages. If he suddenly stopped, she would not get used to it.

Victor smiled and his face became softer. "I already got home, but such a thing happened, so I had to return to the company and try to sort everything out. Lucian and Dean have been investigating Derick, so their phones have been muted.

But even if I was not with you, my heart was always by your side. I am so glad that you were worried when you didn't get a message from me. Because it means that you care about me."

Victor knew that she was worried, so he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, trying to comfort her.

Eden rolled her eyes at him. She didn't know how he still could joke about it at this time.

Thinking of what happened tonight, she asked, "What actually happened tonight? How did the employee jump off a building? I don't believe that Alwynn Group owed him a salary."

She knew that this matter must have something to do with the Simpson family.

Victor narrowed his eyes, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Derick Burris, who jumped off the building tonight, worked in the sales department. He was dignoised liver cancer three months ago, and he was actually dying. He was from a quite poor family, so he didn't have any treatment but saved all the money for his mother.

However, in the last few days of his life, he was used by someone and jumped off a building to commit suicide. Then they could blame everything on Alwynn Group so that he could get great compensation for his family.

The person who persuaded him to do this was his big sister. His big sister's husband is a gambler and a drug addict. He owed a lot of usury. Because of his sister, he was persuaded and did it for his family.

It only took Lucian, Dean, and Brian, four hours to find out everything.

We have the footage of Derick talking to his sister on the phone, as well as the diary he wrote on his computer. Luckily, he wrote everything about his sister on his computer. Although he deleted them, Lucian still copied them. After seeing the diary, everything was finally clear now.
