The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 456

After a night of interrogation, the two men who had been arrested confessed, but they didn’t know who had hired them. All they knew was that there was money in it for them, and since they were desperate, they took the risk.

Drug tests were administered as per protocol, and both men tested positive for a history of drug use. After the interrogation concluded, the officers sent them to a rehab facility.

The injured woman, whose condition had stabilized after treatment at the hospital, was also interrogated through the night.

Unlike the two men, she knew a little more. She gave up an “upline” contact. She claimed that this person had given her twenty thousand dollars to seduce Joseph and ruin his reputation, with a promise of another twenty thousand upon success.

She had taken out an online loan and was being blackmailed with explicit photos that would be sent to her friends and family if she didn't pay up. Desperate for money, she agreed to the illegal scheme despite knowing the risks.

“Officers, I only did it because I needed the money. I know it was wrong, but I was desperate. I have a sick grandmother and an unemployed father to support. I can’t go to jail…” the woman sobbed, consumed by regret.

“Does your hardship give you the right to harm others?” an officer pressed. “Now, tell us exactly how you got injured. And remember, if you lie or falsely accuse someone, it will only add to your charges.”

It was already four in the morning, but the interrogation continued.

Exhausted and with her willpower completely shattered, the woman finally broke. “It… it was an accident during our struggle…”

“Who stabbed you?”

“It… it was Mr. Baird,” she said, her eyes darting away as she tried to frame Joseph. The contact had told her that as long as Joseph’s reputation was destroyed, she’d get the rest of the money. Even if she ended up in jail, the payout seemed worth it.

“Are you sure it was Mr. Baird?” the officer asked again.

“Ye… yes, I’m sure.”

The officers had her sign the interrogation record, confirming she was responsible for her statement.

Shortly after the interrogation wrapped up, Roderic received the news.

In the hospital room, both Joseph and Harvey were asleep. Roderic got up, stepped outside with his phone, and answered in a low voice.

After hearing the details, Roderic stated firmly, “Mr. Baird would never do something like that. He was still conscious at the time. She must be taking advantage of the lack of evidence to deliberately frame him.”
