Female Novel
Chapter 2061
On the way out through the airport halls, the police carefully covered Joseph's handcuffed hands with clothes to avoid creatingunnecessary commotion.
Despite that, whispers and curious glances followed them. The travelers even took pictures and posted them online.
In the interrogation room, Joseph, who always cultivated an image of elegance and reason, now pounded the table with hiscuffed hands, screaming in frustration, "Didn't Aidan confess to everything? | don't know anything about his illegal drug business,and it has nothing to do with me. Who put you up to this? Why targetand the Lovelace Group?" Cyrus stared coldly at the manhe once called Uncle Joseph. His lips formed a thin, impassive line. "Mr. Joseph, is that foresight you're displaying, or perhaps aguilty conscience? | haven't even mentioned drugs, yet you're already incriminating yourself." Joseph broke out in a cold sweatunder Cyrus' unyielding gaze. He attempted to leverage their relationship to his advantage. "Mr. Cy... | mean, Cyrus! After all, I'mstill your uncle!" "In this room," Cyrus countered, his voice devoid of emotion, "we are officer and suspect." Cyrus continued,"And besides, you are Edgar Lovelace's adopted son, not his biological son. You have no blood ties to him or my mother. So,‘uncle’ seems rather far-fetched.
Joseph flushed a deep crimson, the sting of humiliation burning across his face.
"We're not just arresting you for illegal drug storage and distribution but also for inciting your secretary, Ernest Brown, to murderEdgar Lovelace. He was caught in the act.
Cyrus’ gaze was sharp. "We have a witness statement, and your secretary recorded your instructions to protect yourself. Theevidence is solid. Even though it was attempted murder, you'll be spending the rest of your life behind bars." Joseph's bloodshoteyes widened in disbelief. "W-Wait! W-What did you say?" "Attempted murder," Cyrus repeated slowly, enunciating each word.
Cyrus, typically stoic in the interrogation room, cracked a smile. "My team intervened in time. Mr. Edgar was saved. He's still inthe hospital but stable." Joseph slumped in his chair dishearteningly, as if all his energy had drained away. Suddenly, he burstinto uncontrollable laughter. "That useless son of a bitch. He can't even do anything right!" Cyrus frowned. "So, you're admittingto it?" "Don't you have all the evidence? Where can | go if | don't confess?" "Why did you do it?" "Edgar Lovelace had beenunkind toand never sawas his son. He only tookas a tool to help him, build his empire and secure his family. Why should |pretends net" be a good son when he is so heartless to me? I've pretended for more than 30 years, and I've had enough!"Joseph's true nature laid bare. "So, what if you prosecute me? Edgar isn't dead, and I'm not the one who did it. And I've alreadytold you had nothing to do with the illegal drugs. Aidan operated alone!" S Then, the door of the interrogation room opened. Apoliceman rushed in and whispered into Cyrus' ear.
Cyrus’ expression shifted drastically. After a long silence, he spoke in a low voice, "Your son, Aidan, was afraid of facingconviction.
