Chapter 1127 He got set up by his wife
As soon as Kane finished speaking, he received a death stare from Anthony. Kane understood immediately, “Mr. Callahan, I was joking! You usually leave these things to me, but I had no idea about this one. That means it wasn’t you who did it!”
Anthony’s face barely warmed up a bit. “Tell Mavis when she comes back.”
“Understood!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mavis opened the car door and froze at the entrance.
Kane looked embarrassed and tried to explain himself, “Mrs. Callahan, please don’t misunderstand me and Mr. Callahan…”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Mavis interrupted with a cold sneer, “I came back at an unfortunate time and heard you two conspiring to fool me.”
Kane broke out in cold sweat wondering what was going on. now Mrs. Callahan would misunderstand him even more!
Anthony was getting frustrated, “Mavis, you’ve never believed in me.”
“It’s your own fault that you’re in this mess. You’re not worthy of my trust.” She was really angry.
Faced with Mavis’ icy gaze, the blame seemed stuck on him like glue that couldn’t be removed by force.
“You keep saying that I did it. Where is your evidence?”
“I’ve already reported it to NIB. They’ll investigate soon enough whether or not it’s true,” she replied confidently.
Kane tried to help explain, “Mrs. Callahan, you’ve really misunderstood him this time. It wasn’t him, and moreover, he comes from a military background. If he were truly involved, he would have executed it flawlessly, leaving no evidence for NIB to catch hold of. But last time, when faced with your accusations, he didn’t deny a single thing. Now, his refusal to admit implies…”
Mavis only paid attention to a few key words before interrupting with another sneer, “I underestimated your abilities. I bet NIB won’t find any evidence because you’ve probably cleaned everything up already. You’re so shameless!”
Anthony was confused and glared angrily at Kane for making things worse than they were.
“Mrs. Callahan…” Kane started again but she cut him off,
“That’s enough Kane. There’s no need for excuses for him anymore. Right or wrong, it is clear in my heart.” She had no intention of getting back into the car again tonight either – instead opting for an NIB vehicle which would take her straight to Moore’s location.
She turned her gaze towards Anthony sitting sullenly in the back seat once more before warning them sternly,
“Anthony, if anything happens to Moore because of you, then there will be hell to pay.”
With a loud bang, Mavis slammed the car door shut and turned to walk away. She planned to head towards the nearby intersection and wait for NIB’s vehicle.
In the car, there was a deathly atmosphere as if a storm of wind and rain was about to come.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t explain himself despite a hundred mouths.
Because he had previously been involved in kidnapping Moore once, he can’t clear his name this time, no matter what.
If Moore was truly kidnapped and seriously injured, Mavis was likely to hold a grudge against him.
It was feeling really frustrated.
Anthony’s jawline was tight, he had been enduring and enduring, but now he couldn’t take it anymore.
A heavy blow to the bulletproof glass of the limo.
The violent noise scared Kane, causing his face to turn pale. The car windows were of such good quality that they didn’t break at all, but Anthony’s hand was bleeding.
Kane hurriedly retrieved the small first aid kit from the car and went to the back seat to bandage Anthony’s hand injury.
“Don’t get too excited and don’t hurt yourself. Mrs. Callahan doesn’t believe you, so you should find a way to prove your innocence instead of not explaining anything.”
There was a conflict between this couple, and he was even more anxious than Anthony himself.
Ten fingers intertwined, alcohol soaking the bloodstained bones, the pain was unbelievably sharp, as if it could pierce straight to the heart, agonizing and tearing.
Anthony seemed to have been awakened by the pain, and ordered Kane, “Send someone to find out Moore’s whereabouts, starting from the airport surveillance on the day he boarded. Let me know immediately if there is any news.”
“Okay, I’ll do it right away.”
With the National Investigation Bureau taking action, the investigation proceeded quickly and by noon the following day, Moore’s specific location of being kidnapped was discovered.
The Callahans followed the investigation route of the National Investigation Bureau and also found Moore’s location.
It was in an old and abandoned residential area.
When Anthony hurried to the scene, the National Investigation Bureau had already arrived and cordoned off the area to protect the first-hand evidence.
An ambulance was also parked on the side of the road.
Anthony’s heart tightened. Was Moore really injured?
He walked faster and, after communicating with the National Investigation Bureau officers, strode into the old residential area.
“Mavis, Mavis what should I do!”
“My hands, my feet can’t move. I don’t even have any sensation. I’m crippled, Mavis!”
“If I’m truly going to be a useless person, I’d rather just die right now!”
Through a broken and low wall, Anthony could hear Moore’s desperate crying from afar.
Mavis was hugging Moore’s shoulders and gently patting his back to comfort him.
The shattered glasses fell not far away, leaving the man with poor eyesight feeling insecure and relying solely on her for support.
Anthony stood outside the abandoned room and from his perspective, it looked like Moore was kissing Mavis on the cheek.
His hand at his side clenched into a fist, a fierce anger simmering deep within his eyes. He struggled to suppress a certain restless emotion and glared at the medical staff beside him. “What are you all standing around for? Are you afraid the patient won’t bleed or die?”
Th medical staff then realized the situation and rushed forward with a stretcher to quickly transport the injured Moore onto an ambulance.
“Mavis! Mavis!”
Moore, who couldn’t move his whole body, could only shout “Mavis”, afraid that she would ignore him.
Mavis was covered in blood, Moore’s blood, and got up to follow.
As she passed by Anthony, he grabbed her arm.
She didn’t look up, but Anthony noticed that her eyes were red.
Was she feeling sorry for Moore?
He can’t describe the feeling in his heart, but it was definitely uncomfortable and distressing.
Anthony opened his mouth to say something, but his tightly clenched hand was coldly thrown away by her.
Mavis didn’t even glance at him from start to finish, with an extremely cold expression, and turned around and left.
Unfair!
Kane watched beside him, feeling sorry for Anthony.
Since becoming the head of the Callahan family, Anthony had never been so wrongly accused before in these years. Unfortunately, he also had some unspeakable grievances that cannot be explained.
Anthony hung his long eyelashes, his blue eyes dimmed, and he tightened his empty palm.
Before he caught up with Mavis, Chad had already come over with a not-so-friendly tone, “You’re quite ruthless, kid. If we had been one step later, there might have been casualty.”
He gave Chad a glance and said in frustration, “It’s not me.”
“Then you have to come with me to NIB and make a statement.”
Anthony didn’t want to go to NIB. He would rather follow the ambulance to the hospital. “How did I become a suspect?” he wondered.
Chad clicked his tongue lightly and said, “There’s no way around it. When we arrived here, there was nobody else except for Moore. The kidnappers must have received advance notice and fled. We received a report from the public that someone suspected you of being the mastermind behind this incident and demanded that we investigate you thoroughly. Even if it’s not really you, you still have to go through the process with me.”
Kane was stunned, “Who did this?!”
It was simply absurd to report Mr. Callahan without any reason.
Chad patted Anthony’s shoulder with a somewhat intriguing expression.
“Your wife did it.”
Anthony and Kane were speechless.
