True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 981

Jensen was very surprised to receive Xavier's call.

He found it incredulous that the latter wanted to turn himself in.

He didn't hear wrongly, did he?

"Are you Xavier?" Jensen asked with uncertainty.

"Yes, I'm Xavier." Xavier answered, "I'm going to look for you now and turn myself in."

"Where are you?" Jensen instinctively asked.

"I'm at the manor in the mountains. I'm heading back soon. Where are you? I'm going to find you." Xavier's tone was serious as he spoke, and he didn't sound like he was joking.

Jensen replied, "I'm at your residence. Come over."

"Okay, I'll be there in 25 minutes." Xavier looked at his watch and added, "It'll take at most half an hour."

"Okay." Jensen hung up the phone, then looked at Alex and said, "Alex, Xavier called and said that he would turn himself in. Do you think he's telling the truth?"

"Officer Charm, you're the policeman," Alex answered with a smile. "You should be the one to judge whether he's lying, not me."

"I was just asking you how you feel about it." Jensen chuckled and said, "I feel very surprised that someone as stubborn as him would suddenly turn himself in."

"It's probably nothing," Alex responded. "Maybe he has finally discovered his conscience. Anyway, Mr. Quell is going to divorce Miranda, and he might be afraid of digging his own grave deeper. That's probably it."

"Perhaps." Jensen nodded. "It's possible. Without having Mr. Quell as a support, he would've made this decision after weighing the pros and cons."

"Yeah." Alex then reminded him, "But you'd better be careful. No one knows what he's actually planning to do."

"I know." Jensen glanced at his watch and said, "By the way, you may leave first. Go back and tell Heinz that Xavier is going to turn himself in. I will handle the case. As for Alice, tell her that I have resumed my post."

"Okay." Alex nodded and took his men to leave first.

25 minutes later.

Xavier finally arrived.

Jensen was standing on the ground floor of his residence, waiting for him.

Xavier got out of the car and spotted Jensen. He said, "Give me a minute. I'll hand the car over to my friend, and then I'll go with you."

"Sure," Jensen answered as he observed Xavier's expression. He found that the man looked very dejected. He was not as arrogant as before, nor was he as confident.

Xavier phoned someone and left his keys at home. He then asked them to take care of his house and his car.

After everything was settled, Xavier looked at Jensen and started, "Officer Charm, let's talk about the kidnapping of your wife, Alice. I was the one behind it."

"Wait, I'm more curious as to why you've suddenly changed your mind and turned yourself in."

It was only the previous night that Xavier had been very arrogant.

"Things have changed," Xavier answered frankly. "I've misjudged the situation before. I thought that Aunt Miranda was capable, but she is still just a nanny. She has no power in Mr. Quell's place. Why should I struggle with her? Since you will catch me sooner or later, I might as well turn myself in and get leniency. Then, I won't have to stay in prison for as long."
