Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 587

After hearing what he said, Quinn's pupils contracted slightly. "Stop making slanderous charges against me! I didn't look for you at all, let alone pay you to do such a thing."

Stan looked at her. "You left the car keys in the office and I went there to take them myself. There's half a million in cash in the car, and it's still there at the moment. I haven't touched a single cent. I believe the money will be the most direct evidence."

Theo did not say anything and merely looked at Keith. Keith nodded and said, "There’s indeed half a million i n cash in the car. The cash is in sequential order, so I'm sure it should be quite easy to find out where it came from."

Quinn looked at Theo, her emotions breaking down a little. "Theo, I’m your cousin. Why would I hurt your wife? You can't believe his words so easily."

Keith went over and handed a phone to Theo, saying," Ms. Grant and Ms. Cindy met a few days ago."

After looking at the photos on Keith's phone, Theo looked at Quinn with a cold gaze, and his voice was particularly cold as well. "Didn't you say that you weren’t coming back to Salt City for New Year's this year?"

Quinn's complexion was pale. She said in a trembling voice, "I... I thought it was better to go home for New Year’s, that's why I went back. But as soon as I got home, I remembered my grandmother who passed away and was filled with grief, hence I came back to Whaldorf City on the second day."

"Why did you meet up with Cindy, then? I remember you're not close enough to her that you would drink coffee with her in a coffee shop." Theo's patience was wearing thin, and his tone grew even colder.

Quinn's lips trembled slightly. "I didn't take the initiative to ask her out. She was the one who asked m e out. When she learned that I was the one who released the negative news about Petra, she threatened me to trick Wanda out of the house or she would ask Grayson to bring Zimmer Corporations down."

The Zimmers had all passed away, and as the newly-appointed director, Quinn had not gained the approval of many shareholders. It would inevitably cause the Zimmers' shares to crash. I had also heard from the assistant that Zimmer Corporations was now extremely fragile, so if Grayson intended to bring Zimmer Corporations down, it was not entirely impossible either.

Provided that the Nietzsches did not help Zimmer Corporations out. Logically speaking, a clever woman like Quinn should be able to figure out that the Nietzsches were backing Zimmer Corporations up, so she need not be afraid of anyone who was coveting Zimmer Corporations. However, she was afraid that the Nietzsches would resent her and would rather see Zimmer Corporations fall.

Theo said no more and merely sneered.

Perhaps he was also laughing at Quinn’s foolishness...

He looked at me, and when he saw that I had not touched the food on the table, he frowned. "You don't like the food?"

I shook my head.

"Are you tired?” He reached out and took my hand.

I pursed my lips, not saying a word.

If Quinn was the one behind this, what would Theo do?

Moreover, Cindy was involved. These two women were a responsibility Theo could not shirk. Even though they had done many hurtful things to me, I might still not be able to bring myself to punish them.

The corner of my mouth curved upward into a somewhat wry smile.

There were times when I wished I would not think about something so thoroughly.

I massaged my glabella and said, "Send me back home to get some rest!"

I would leave it for him to decide what he was going to do with the two of them.

He nodded, then glanced coldly at Stan and Quinn." Send them to the police station. It's up to the police to decide how they should be punished."

Quinn's body quivered. "Theo, you can't do that when you don't have any evidence. Besides, even if I was really the one who did it, you shouldn't treat me this way because I'm your cousin."

Theo looked at her with exceedingly dark pupils. "In that case, we’ll wait until the investigation is finished and solve the problem in another way."

In another way? What other way?

Theo was never a soft-hearted person. Quinn went limp and sat on the ground with an ashen look on her face.

After leaving the factory, I got in the car and leaned back in the seat while closing my eyes. My mind and body were overwhelmed with fatigue.
