Chapter 141 - 133: Clarifying the Relationship
The news on the internet spread quickly, and there was still no response from the authorities.
It can be said that it took one night until dawn.
Daisy Zane, Maple Elite Entertainment, and the drama crew all didn’t give a response.
It was as if they were tacitly admitting to it.
However, the lack of response on the internet was because everyone was trying to contact Daisy Zane. Allonzo Hobson was also trying to contact Kevin Clark.
But neither of their phones were being answered, although they were reachable.
It’s easy to control the news online, but searching Daisy Zane’s residence for evidence is not an easy task.
So everyone can only wait for news to confirm what was going on with Daisy Zane before they could clarify and respond specifically.
Allonzo Hobson couldn’t reach anyone, so he immediately called Juan Wright.
Only then did he find out that the person in the photos online at the entrance of the police station, whose identity was completely blurred, was Kevin Clark.
After learning that Daisy Zane and Kevin Clark had entered the police station together, Allonzo Hobson immediately felt relieved.
Moreover, knowing that they were dealing with the 319 case, he didn’t hurry to contact them.
Compared to that, this matter was more pressing.
In this case, Daisy Zane was innocent, and with so many people involved, they wouldn’t let her suffer this injustice for nothing.
But with the other case, a difference of just one minute might miss the best opportunity to arrest someone.
So he told Gentry Morris, Harry Thompson, and Hill Dawson not to worry. With Kevin Clark there, even if the sky exploded, he could stitch it up without a trace.
He controlled the news online for a while and then didn’t bother anymore.
Miles Family
Amelia Miles looked at the news online and didn’t sleep all night.
[Is there any problem with Anisa Cooper?] She sent out a message.
[Don’t worry, even if she talks, it won’t lead to me, let alone to you.] The other party quickly replied with a message.
Amelia Miles felt relieved, wanted to go wash up, but after thinking about it,
she didn’t. She didn’t change clothes either, casually grabbed a coat to put on, and then left her room.
On the ground floor, Johanes Miles and Old Master Miles were sitting opposite each other, both looking unhappy.
Charles Hobson was sitting on the side, not speaking at this time to avoid making himself unhappy. But he seemed to be in a good mood.
Amelia Miles laughed in her heart, then quickly put on a worried look and hurried downstairs: “Grandpa, mom and dad, I just saw the news online, and my sister, my sister… Is she being framed?”
“Why did you come down like this?” Charles Hobson said.
“I just saw the news. I’m a little worried about my sister.” Amelia Miles wrapped herself in the coat, sat on the sofa, and anxiously said, “Is my sister in trouble now?”
“Not just her, the whole Miles family is in trouble now.” Johanes Miles said coldly, “Miles Group’s stock is still falling, all thanks to her.”
Amelia Miles furrowed her brows, having only read about Daisy Zane last night, forgetting about her own company.
She even wondered when people their age had become so concerned with the news online. It turned out the company had been affected.
Family Recognition Banquet, why not recognize her now? What Purple Star, she’s clearly a broom star.
“But isn’t today the day we officially announce the Family Recognition Banquet to the media?” Amelia Miles whispered, “How are we going to handle this now?”
No one spoke.
During the preparation process, Johanes Miles had been leaking the news to some media outlets. So many media outlets had been following this event.
As a result, as soon as Daisy Zane had an issue, the Miles family’s stock also fell along with her impending family recognition.
“Is there any turnaround for this situation?” Old Master Miles asked in a deep voice.
“The chances of a turnaround are almost zero.” Johanes Miles said tiredly, “She has already entered the police station. So much time has passed, the results of the investigation should be out by now. If there was nothing wrong with her, she would have come out by now. Even if she doesn’t come out, as long as she’s innocent, the company would have responded by now. Now… everywhere is quiet, it’s as if we’re waiting for the official verdict.” The living room fell silent again.
Charles Hobson and Amelia Miles exchanged glances.
Amelia Miles said: “So, what should we do? My sister, she…”
“Cut ties. The cleaner the break, the better.” Johanes Miles said, “She’s done such an outrageous thing, no one can save her. Whoever gets involved with someone like her will have bad luck.”
“Yes.” Old Master Miles said, “Find a few trustworthy media outlets and let them write the story properly. Clear the Miles Family’s name.”
“Yes.” Johanes Miles stood up, “I’ll get on it.”
Amelia Miles sighed softly, lowered her eyes, and smiled.
Charles Hobson also let out a sigh of relief, the smile on his face deepened without any attempt to hide.
Police Station
Kevin Clark and Daisy Zane stayed up all night watching the surveillance footage prior to the homeless man’s reporting, hoping to find any clues from the video.
So they watched the footage very slowly, slowly in slow motion.
“Daisy, go rest a little. I’ll watch it.”
“I’m not tired.” Daisy Zane’ eyes never left the computer screen.
Diego Giovanni brought her another cup of steaming water.
Kevin Clark glared at him, this was already the fifth cup. This guy…
Daisy Zane suddenly pressed the pause button: “Kevin Clark, look at this spot.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the office was knocked open. Edward Lee turned around and asked, “What’s up?
William stood at the doorway and said, “The Drug Prohibition Task Force said they are looking for Lady Zane Daisy.”
Kevin Clark, Daisy Zane, and Diego Giovanni were all watching the surveillance footage, and upon hearing this, they all looked up at the entrance.
“Daisy Zane? Who’s Daisy Zane?”
Edward Lee never asked about the person Kevin Clark brought along.
But he could see that something was off about Kevin and that woman, too concerned about her. When did he ever care if someone was tired or not? He would only kick them awake when they were about to doze off.
“What’s going on?” Kevin Clark asked.
Edward Lee looked over and remembered that he didn’t even know the name of the person Kevin brought.
“That… The Drug Prohibition Task Force said… Lady Zane is involved in drug use… Let’s cooperate with the investigation.”
The Drug Prohibition Task Force tracked Daisy Zane through Ferdason Hotel’s CCTV and various road cameras, eventually leading them to Daisy in the police station…
After searching for several hours, they found that the person they were looking for was in the same place as themselves.
So they showed the CCTV footage to William and asked if he had seen the woman in the footage.
Then, William knocked on the door.
Kevin Clark’s eyes were somewhat red, and upon hearing this sentence, his expression became fierce, as if his eyes were stained with blood, particularly terrifying.
Diego Giovanni’s face also darkened upon hearing this, and he looked as if he wanted to curse.
Daisy Zane had no expression, glanced at William, and then looked at Diego Giovanni: “5 minutes.”
Diego Giovanni didn’t say a word and went straight out of the office.
Daisy Zane then looked back at the computer and magnified the footage: “Here, there are two shadows on the glass.”
The spot was a corner where the homeless man would rest every night, right in a blind spot for surveillance cameras.
However, diagonally across the corner, the glass facing the camera reflected two shadows.
“Indeed,” Edward Lee said.
Kevin Clark rewound the footage a little and played it in slow motion again.
The shadows on the glass weren’t very clear, and they could barely make out that one person was sitting, while the other bent down as if talking.
Later, the person sitting struggled to get up, and the standing person seemed to push the sitting person away, then walked in the opposite direction, deliberately avoiding the camera on this side.
As for the person sitting, they didn’t move at all, not budging an inch as seen from the shadows on the glass.
Kevin Clark played the footage at double speed.
It wasn’t until the next day, around seven o’clock, that the shadows on the glass moved. Then the homeless man walked out from the corner.
Based on the time, it seemed like he went straight to the police station afterward….
