Chapter 299 Interrogation

"Ma'am, they said they have something important to talk to you about." Jenny said apologetically.

"What do you want?" Although she felt guilty, Vivian maintained the demeanor that Madam of President should

have on her face.

"Ms. Holmes, we are from the Criminal Police Brigade." The other party directly revealed his identity.

Vivian's expression changed slightly but she quickly adjusted her expression. She looked at Jenny who was beside

her and slightly raised her hand. "You go out first."

"Yes."

Seeing the door of the room close, Vivian stood up from the leather chair and walked to the two of them. She

raised her hand and said, "The two of you, please take a seat."

After saying that, she took the lead to walk towards the sofa and sit opposite the two of them.

Seeing the two of them sit down, Vivian smiled and crossed her legs. She maintained a calm and elegant manner

but she was very nervous in her heart. "May I ask if there is anything I can help you with?"

Hearing her words, the two police officers looked at each other. The female police officer looked at Vivian and said

slowly, "May I ask if you are familiar with the name Lucas?"

"He is my neighbor. He is now Julian's driver. What happened to him?” Vivian looked at the policemen, pretending to

be surprised.

"It is like this. This person named Lucas is suspected to be involved in an intentional murder. He has now admitted

that he is the main culprit of this murder." The female police officer stared at Vivian’s expression as she spoke.

Vivian frowned and had an incredulous expression on her face. "Is that so? How could he do such a thing? That's

impossible, right? I always felt that he was very honest. Don't tell me you wronged a good person?"

Hearing this, the male police officer immediately said, "We have never wronged a good person, but we will never let

a bad person go!"

Vivian heard his words and smiled. "Is that so? That's good. With your diligence, we taxpayers' money will not be in

vain."

The male and female police officers looked at each other, and the woman continued, "Do you know who Lucas

wanted to kill?"

Vivian smiled and shook her head, "How would I know?"

"She is your current sister-in-law, Sarah Wilson!" After the female police officer finished speaking, she once again

stared at Vivian’s expression.

Vivian frowned, "My sister-in-law? Impossible! Lucas did not have any conflicts with her, so how could he hire

someone to kill? You must have investigated wrongly! There was no conflict of interest between the two of them,

and they were not familiar with each other. Why did he want to kill my sister-in-law?"

The police woman looked at Vivian with an unfathomable expression, "We know that your relationship with Lucas is

not ordinary!"

Vivian smiled, "I just told you that my relationship with him is just a neighbor. However, he was usually very

enthusiastic. Sometimes, when he would see my mom buy some vegetables or something, he will help to bring it

home. You guys go and ask the neighbors nearby. They know that he often does all kinds of work for others."

"Aren't you lovers?"

Vivian laughed when she heard what the other party said. She looked at the male police officer and retorted with a

smile, "Do you think it's possible? If we were lovers, why would I marry someone else? I know you are investigating

a case, but I also hope that you will ask the proper questions. Be more practical! Don't insult my personality! If my

husband heard what you just said, won’t it break my marriage?"

Vivian had an angry expression on her face at the end of her sentence.

"Ms. Holmes, don't be angry. We only ask this because we want to investigate the case."

"Then you better think about it before asking me! Also, my mother-in-law just passed away three days ago. In these

three days, a lot of documents have been piled up, if you have nothing else to do. Then please go back. I still have

things to do!"

Vivian looked at the two police men and ordered them to leave. Having grown so big, it was also her first time being

questioned by a police officer.

The two police officers opposite her had sharp eyes. She knew very well that the more she spoke, the more. . . The

more holes there are. And they would probably be able to see every single detail of her expression.

"We found out that Lucas had given two sums of money to his accomplice, Felix. The total amount was 1. 8 million!

You gave this money to Lucas, right?" The male police officer did not seem to hear Vivian's words. He continued to

look at Vivian with a serious face and asked.

"Yes! I lent it to him! But when he borrowed money, he told me that he would pay me back with interest later on. I

was thinking that even if I kept that much money, it would still be there. If I don't make money, wouldn't I be a fool?

Furthermore, the interest he promised me was 30%. It won't take long for it to double, so I lent the money to him!"

Vivian replied according to the agreement she had with Lucas.

The two police officers silently looked at each other. The female police officer continued to look at her and ask,

"Lucas used this money to hire Felix and let Felix to hit Sarah Wilson! But we found that there was no conflict of

interest between him and Sarah Wilson. Can you explain to me why?"

"Heh, I'm not a police officer. How can I explain it to you? Do you think that I spent money to find someone to hit

Sarah Wilson?"

"We found out that you were Christian Cooper's fiancée before. . ."

Vivian interrupted the police officer before he could finish. “Don't slander us here! I admit that I was once

Christian's fiancée, but what does that mean? You policemen should talk with evidence. If there's nothing else,

please go back!"

The two policemen looked at each other and then stood up together. "Ms. Holmes, don't be angry. We are here to

investigate the case. If our words hurt you, please forgive us. Then we won't disturb your work anymore, goodbye."

After saying that, the two of them nodded slightly to Vivian and turned around to walk out of Office of President.

Seeing the office door close, Vivian's body went limp and collapsed on the sofa.

Because of Daphne's accidental death, Ethan, who was lying in the hospital, could only be taken care of by a senior

nurse for three days.

After Samantha heard the news, she returned to her home from the Wilson Family. She knew that the people of the

Cooper Family would not be able to take care of the unconscious Ethan now. Ethan was Sarah’s father's good

brother after all, so in these three days, she had been guarding Ethan.

After breakfast today, Samantha cleaned up the house first. Then she called Sarah and told that she went to the

hospital to take care of Ethan.

After Sarah heard her mother's words, naturally, she was also very pleased. After the mother and daughter finished

talking, Samantha carried her bag and went to the hospital.

When she walked into the ward, she saw that the nurse had gone to do something and there was no one in the

room.

Samantha had already familiarized herself with all the procedures in the past two days. She put down her bag and

went to the bathroom to get a basin and towel to help Ethan wash his face. She then took his hand and carefully

wiped it. She then took out a comb from the bathroom and carefully combed his hair.

Seeing that he still had no reaction, Samantha put away the basin and towel into the bathroom and sat beside the

sick bed again. She held Ethan’s arm and massaged it over and over again.

"Ethan, you can't continue sleeping like this. Why are you still indifferent when such a big thing happened in Cooper

Family? Yesterday when Daphne was sent away, the whole family was broken up. I think the children of Cooper

Family can't hold on much longer. . ."

When Samantha said this, she recalled the scene at the funeral yesterday. She could not help but raise her hand to

wipe her tears. Her eyes were red as she looked at Ethan, who was still lying quietly on the bed. She sobbed and

said, "I watched Julian grow up. Hearing what he said yesterday, everyone's hearts were about to break. Ethan,

wake up quickly! The Cooper Family needs you. Don’t you know?"

Ethan, who was lying on the bed, acted as if he did not hear Samantha's words. He was still lying quietly with his

eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a never ending sleep.

At this moment, the door of the ward was slowly pushed open. Sarah supported Benjamin and walked in from

outside the ward.

"Mom. . ." Sarah looked at her mother's back and called softly.

Samantha heard her daughter's call and immediately turned around to look. When she saw that Benjamin had

come, she stood up and made way for him.

"Uncle, why are you here today?" Samantha said as she walked over and supported Benjamin Cooper to the

bedside and let him sit down.

Benjamin had just entered the room when he heard Samantha's words. He sat on the chair and looked at

Samantha beside him, he said gratefully, "Samantha, it has been hard on you these days."

On the way here, he heard Sarah talk about how Samantha had been taking care of Ethan for the past three days.

Samantha helping them at this time made Benjamin very grateful.

"Uncle, we are all family! You don't have to be so polite to me. Besides, Ethan is not only my son-in-law’s father, but

also my husband’s best friend. So no matter what the relationship is, I cannot ignore it. I know that no one is taking

care of Ethan now. I have nothing to do anyway. If you don’t mind, you can leave the matter of taking care of Ethan

to me in the future!"

Benjamin looked at Samantha gratefully. "Good! Good. . . Ethan is really lucky to have such a good friend in his life!"

Benjamin then looked at his unconscious son and said, "Ethan, Daphne have left. She left the whole family behind

so ruthlessly. Christian returned to the army this morning. He said he wanted to go back and settle the resignation

procedures. He wanted to come back and take over the Cooper Group! Do you know why he made such a decision?

Ethan, he was afraid that you would be sad! He was afraid that you would be disappointed! The Cooper Group was

the fruit of your life's hard work, so he didn’t want it to go in vain. But you also know that Christian does not like to

do business! If he comes back to take over Cooper Group, it will cost him his dreams and happiness! Do you want

your son to suffer like this?

Ethan, If you don't wake up soon, Christian will give up his dream and come home! He has already suffered too

much, don’t let him suffer any more. Ethan! Child! Did you hear that?"

Benjamin held his son's hand tightly. His yellow eyes were filled with pain and helplessness.

The old man was getting old, so he couldn't squeeze out any tears. But looking at his son lying there quietly, and

thinking about the big family at home. . . The old man’s hands kept trembling. .
