Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Revealed Their Conspiracy

Renee hurriedly said, "The police said the fire was caused by old wiring. How would there be a murder? Peter is already dead, isn't he?"

"Do you think Peter is the real culprit? If he were, he wouldn't have been killed in the detention center."

After Remington spoke, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Cynthia asked, "Remi, how did Peter die? How would he be killed in the detention center?"

Everyone waited for an answer, and Remington explained, "Someone added a toxin called Tabun to Peter's drinking water, which caused his death. And I have investigated and found out that Peter's mineral water was tampered with before it was sent to the police. The one who can commit a crime under the nose of the police and kill Peter without leaving a trace must be very cunning."

Remington's sharp gaze swept over the faces of Renee, Carlos, and Samuel.

Renee's eyes flickered slightly, while Carlos showed no expression.

Samuel remained calm and composed, asking, "Who the h*ll was so cruel as to do such a thing? Have you found the person who poisoned Peter?"

"Of course I have!" Remington shouted, "Winger!"

Soon, Winger brought in a middle-aged man who seemed honest and straightforward.

Carlos's eyes darkened when he saw the man being brought in.

"This is Edward, the cook responsible for making food for the detention center. Peter died after eating the food and drinking the water he provided," Winger explained.

Gabriella asked, "Edward, did you have any grudges with Peter? Why did you kill him?"

Edward looked troubled and remained silent.

Remington snapped, "Edward, now is your chance to come clean. Why did you kill Peter?"

Edward glanced at Remington and quickly cast a glance at Carlos, who was standing beside him, hesitant to speak.

"Do you want me to remind you of it?" Remington took a document from Winger. "This is your personal account statement. On the third day after Peter's death, you received 75 thousand dollars. Tell me, how did you get the money?"

Remington's imposing aura made Edward break out in a cold sweat and his hands tremble uncontrollably.

"Well...."

Edward instinctively looked toward Carlos.

Meanwhile, Carlos frowned and gave him a cold, intimidating stare, secretly exerting pressure on him.

Edward broke out in even more cold sweat, not knowing what to do.

"Edward, I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, you'll be the one going to jail," Remington threatened.

Upon hearing Remington's words, Edward was so scared that he got down to his knees.

"No, please don't! I'll tell you. It was him who transferred 75 thousand dollars to me."

Edward pointed his finger at Carlos.

Carlos immediately rebuked, "Shut up! Do you have any proof to support your claim? I don't even know you. How can you slander me here?"

"Carlos Minton!"

Remington snorted coldly, which startled everyone.
