Female Novel
Chapter 168 He Guessed It
“Boss, I failed your trust.” Inside the dark study room, Ladd felt very guilty.
Caden was expressionless, “Nothing is found?”
Ladd lowered his head even more, he felt very very self-condemned, “Boss, I didn’t handle your orders
well. I am too incapable. If it were Kirk, he would have already found it out.”
The boss asked him to investigate the incident from three years ago secretly. It was indeed hard to look
into this event after three years. However, it had been quite a long time, and he hadn’t found out
anything useful.
Everything he found was the evidence against Miss James.
But…He was different from Kirk, who had insisted that Miss James was guilty. Nevertheless, Ladd
didn’t believe that Miss James would be that kind of person from the beginning.
As a result, he felt happy after knowing that the Boss wanted to dig in the incident from three years
ago.
He was the same as Kirk and a few others, who were selected by the boss since their childhood. They
had followed alongside the boss ever since. Therefore, they grew up with Miss James to a certain
degree.
He was happy that the boss asked him to investigate the incident. However, after searching for a long
time, all he found were more things that only proved Miss James to be guilty.
The investigation report on Miss James was put on the desk of the boss. While he was making this
report, Ladd had hesitated whether he should give this to the boss.
Caden grabbed the report from the desk. His dark eyes browsed through it quickly after turning over
the pages. Only the sound of flipping papers reverberated inside the quiet study room.
“Is this everything you can find?” After putting down the report, half of the man’s handsome face was
hidden within the shadow. As the lamp was turned on, the other half of his face was faintly seen under
the light.
Ladd nodded heavily, “Yes, sir.” but then he hurriedly said, “But boss, I still don’t believe that Miss
James would be that kind of person.” However, this report was made by him personally. All the
investigations were conducted secretly, slowing down the progress. Even Kirk, who was so close to
him, didn’t know about the investigations.
Ladd would like to believe in Miss James, but everything in this report trampled on his “belief” again
and again.
Rat-a-tat-tat…
Caden’s long slender fingers rapped on the table randomly. He stared at the report quietly with his
narrowed eyes. After a long time, contemplation could be seen in his eyes.
“Sorry, boss. I am so useless. That’s all I can find.” The “evidence” written on the report was closely
linked, and it was presented to be flawless. Whoever read the report today would consider Grace
James to be guilty after seeing these pieces of evidence.
“If it were Kirk, he might be able to find out something…”
Ladd said in a guilty tone, blaming his incapability. However, before he finished his words, he was
interrupted by the man behind the desk:
“Even if it were Kirk, he wouldn’t find out anything either.”
A trace of fierce coldness flashed across Caden’s dark pupils. “I am trying to investigate the incident
from three years ago, trying to investigate the counter-evidence that could help her. Heh…In the end,
all I can find was more evidences that prove her to be guilty.”
“Boss, Miss James would not…”
“I know, she wouldn’t.” Caden got up from the chair, with his hands in the pocket, he strode to the
windows and looked outside, “I almost believe these ‘evidences’. They were made so perfect, interwind
with one another, impossible for others to see any problems. Yet, they were too perfect, which makes
them suspicious.”
“Boss…” Ladd suddenly raised his head, widening his eyes shockingly.
He had been with Caden for such a long time that he had already guessed something as soon as
Caden finished his words.
“It’s impossible!”novelbin
The man standing in front of the window smiled mildly…Heh, even Ladd had thought of something.
Caden’s thin lips curled up slowly, but his smile was no match for the coldness beneath his eyes, “Oh
the old man, the old man.”
