Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301 

True to his word, Harrison did exactly what he promised

The next day, the police received an anonymous email

The email detailed the case process extensively and provided such comprehensive evidence that it was enough to close the case on the spot

The sheriff, after toiling for so long with nothing to show for it, was left without words

What the hell was this

A free lunch

Even though it felt a bit odd, cracking the case was still good news

After validating the email evidence and confirming its legitimacy, the police issued a statement

Firstly, there was a video clip, seemingly shot by a hidden camera. It proved that Jane was murdered, and the perpetrator was that security guard

Secondly, there was an audio recording. It appeared to be orders from a higherup to the security guard, telling him to take out Jane and pin it on Ben and Susan

Thirdly, the security guard had a small tattoo on the back of his neck. After checking, this tattoo was found to be the signature symbol of the Phoenix Collective. The archivist who committed suicide had an 

identical tattoo too

Putting these points together, the real situation was that both individuals were members of the Phoenix 

Collective, and their actions were directed by the organization to frame Ben and Susan in order to 

achieve the goal of inciting unrest in Coraland

This announcement had evidence and logic

A few minutes later, the Phoenix Collective even retweeted the official post, directly admitting to the 

1/6 

case

With that, the case was closed

Online users passed the investigation findings to the security guard’s wife. Yet, the individual who had earlier professed to be seeking justice for her father vanished abruptly once the evidence came to light

The police then released another statement, indicating that the wife had abruptly left the country, believed to be leaving for Riowert

For a time, everyone was somewhat speechless

They’d been completely taken advantage of once more

Alright, I’ve been burned before. Next time I hear any gossip about Ben and Susan, I’ll take it with a grain of salt.” 

I was wrong again.” 

I just have to say that the way this couple flips the script every single time is beyond anything you could predict. Just when I thought we were looking at a straightforward murder, it spins into a plot cooked up by an international cabal. You wouldn’t even see twists like this on a TV show. I’m completely 

blown away.” 

I’m done talking. I just need a moment to myself.” 

Life threw another curveball

Susan looked at the official announcement and was also very surprised

She furrowed her brow, Why does it have to be so complicated? Thankfully, the authorities uncovered the evidence. Without it, we’d have a tough time proving our innocence. And dealing with the Phoenix

Collective is just a headache.” 

Ben just smiled without saying a word

Yet, he harbored different thoughts

Chapter 301 

The true puppet master was certainly not the Phoenix Collective

The Phoenix Collective was merely a scapegoat that Harrison had long prepared

The real organization Harrison belonged to remained hidden in the shadows

Harrison, a celebrity of global renown, also possessed a fortune in the hundreds of billions

Someone like that might have been affiliated with a group, and chances are he wasn’t a key player; if he were, they wouldn’t have tossed him into the fray so carelessly

This organization wielded enormous financial power and had covertly cultivated a network of devoted followers willing to lay down their lives for the cause

Most importantly, this organization remained shrouded in secrecy, operating under the radar

It was only because they made a move against Ben that he caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg

Ben didn’t grasp the full extent of the iceberg

He had this nagging suspicion that after this whole ordeal, the organization would likely slip back into 

the shadows

When it reemerged, it wouldn’t be just minor scuffles like we saw this time

Ben’s eyes narrowed as if he could see a bloody, tumultuous future ahead

He had many guesses and worries, but he said nothing

He just gave a wry smile and said, Yeah, the Phoenix Collective was absolutely despicable.” 

His Susan only needed to be happy and he would handle the rest

The case was closed

Ben and Susan were no longer confined

Chapter 301 

When Ben and Susan came down, they found Charlie and Judith cozily sipping coffee together

Eason and Penny were also there

Charlie, the cat’s out of the bag,Judith said, letting out a sigh. You’ve been on pins and needles all this time, haven’t you?” 

Charlie grinned, taking a sip of his coffee, Not in the least. This little episode? The kids could easily run 

the show.” 

Penelope chimed in with a tease, Dad, you’ve been going on these midnight walks for days now, or have you forgotten?” 

Charlie’s expression soured, What are you getting at? I just overate, that’s all. Couldn’t sleep because of it! It’s not like I was up worrying about them.” 

Well, well,Penelope replied helplessly

The others also started to laugh

Then, after the storm came the calm

Their mood was skyhigh and each person seemed happier than the last

Ben and Susan witnessed exactly that kind of harmonious scene

Judith’s eyes suddenly met Susan’s across the way. A spark of recognition flashed, and she hurried over, eagerly taking Susan’s hand in a firm, warm grasp

Ben was squeezed to the side

Seeing Judith holding onto Susan’s hand, he felt a lump in his throat

Judith couldn’t bother with Ben’s feelings. She ushered Susan over to the couch and flopped down 

beside her

Ben had intended to sit on the other side
