Josh, of course, had gotten wind of the culprit's arrest. He had prepared himself for the outcome, but
he lost sleep when he learned that Cyrus was the police on the case. His mind whirred nonstop to
come up with solutions.
"Mr. Schmidt, there is no need to panic," Josh's right-hand man, Cliff McMahon, advised with a sly grin.
"You foresaw this coming and made the necessary arrangements, didn't you?
"Besides, you never had any direct contact with Magnus Vale. Since his wife and children are in our
hands, he will not rat on you. He has no choice but to keep his mouth shut for his family's sake."
"It's not enough to keep his mouth shut," said Josh, who rubbed his sore forehead.
There was a threatening gleam in his eyes with dark circles. He added, "We need him to point a finger
at David. There needs to be a mastermind responsible for the assassination, or the Taylors will not let
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis slide because they're a crazy bunch."
Cliff nodded furiously. "You're right."
Josh lifted the whiskey glass from the table and rattled the ice cubes with a snicker. "It's David's man
who carried out the orders anyway, so it's only fair for him to clean up the mess. I shall consider it
David's final contribution to the Schmidt Group."
"Mr. Schmidt, we have another problem at hand. We need to think of a way to get Cyrus Taylor off the
case for our convenience."
Squinting dangerously, Josh replied to Cliff, "Hmph. I have a good idea."
The next day, news about Cyrus Taylor being the son of Winston Taylor spread like wildfire across the
internet, causing a huge stir. The netizens had a field day with it.
"Wow, is that handsome policeman the son of Winston Taylor? He keeps a low profile, though."
"Is he really Alyssa Taylor's brother? They don't look alike at all."
"I heard he's the son of the second wife. If this was centuries ago, he would have been a bastard son."
"A bastard son? Winston Taylor married Mandy Lovelace after the death of his first wife. She's his legal
spouse."
"Yeah. Stop parading your idiocy. All of Mandy Lovelace's children are successful in their careers. You'll
never hold a candle to them!"
Although the majority of netizens held a positive opinion of Cyrus, he was taken off David's case by his
superiors. As Tatiana was one of the victims, Cyrus was obliged to transfer the case to other teams due
to a conflict of interest.
On the day of the handover, the leader of Team 2 addressed Cyrus with glee, "Chief Taylor, you've
worked hard. Anything else we need to know?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCyrus tilted his head and jokingly said, "It's time to test if you're a corrupted cop."
The leader frowned. "What do you mean?"
Cyrus deliberately raised his voice and replied, "It's no secret that the Schmidts love bribing the
authorities. They had succeeded in covering up this case until my sister fought against the pressure to
expose David Schmidt's evil deeds to the nation."
Cyrus' colleagues turned toward him.
"So, I'm speaking to you as a victim's family instead of a colleague. Please make sure David Schmidt
goes to jail, and please pursue the maximum penalty on him. The Taylor family shall wait for your good
news."
The leader quivered with a frozen look on his face. Cyrus patted his shoulder with an amused smile
before leaving.
