Chapter 113
Evelyn paused but left without looking back.
Fred was about to go upstairs and met Evelyn. He wanted to say hello but saw that she lowered her head as if her soul had left her body.
He realized that they might have quarreled again. “I called Evelyn to see you but why did you annoy her in less than ten minutes? You deserve to be single now.”
Fred was on good terms with Jasmine. He had heard her praise for Evelyn many times, so he was sure that it must be Caleb’s problem again
Caleb threw the butt into the ashtray. Hearing this, he sat awkwardly opposite to Fred. Fred waved his hand, and a policeman came in with a voice recorder. Caleb raised his eyebrows. “Uncle Fred?”
“Although I believe you won’t do that, you are in the police station so I can make no exception.” Fred sat on another sofa and signaled the policeman to start.
He turned on the voice recorder and wrote in a notebook. “First, a resident jumped off the building in the West District. The resident is confirmed to be a customer of the Mercer Group. Then, where are you and what have you done during this period?”
Caleb looked at him calmly. I stayed in the hospital to take care of my mother before and after he jumped off the building There is also a call record in my mobile phone, which can be checked.”
“Okay. Then this morning, the security guards of your company quarreled with the victim. What do you want to say?” he continued.
“No. The company’s surveillance camera works 24 hours so you can investigate and collect evidence at any time,” replied:
Caleb.
Caleb looked at Fred and said, “Besides, I don’t think the person is the new resident of our building but hired by someone.
The policeman nodded and put away his pen and notebook. He stood up, nodded at Fred, and left.
Fred’s face softened. He waved at Caleb and said, “Relax. Why are you so serious? Isn’t me here with you?”
Caleb was speechless for a moment and almost rolled his eyes at him. “How can I not be serious? I’m just a businessman. If someone is killed, the Mercer Group will be destroyed by me.”
Fred laughed and said, “The Mercer Group has been better after you took over it. How can it be destroyed so easily?”
Then Fred turned on the computer. He raised her chin towards Caleb. “Look, the stock of the Mercer Group has fallen 3 percentage points within half a day. It’s a little miserable.”
Fred seemed to gloat about it. Caleb’s face turned blue for a moment. “Are you my uncle?”
The stock of Mercer Group plummeted but Fred laughed at that Caleb rolled his eyes at him.
Fred burst into laughter. He was not much older than Caleb. Caleb was brought up by Richard and had always been an example for the younger generation among the relatives. Even Fred couldn’t avoid it. It was rare to see Caleb’s failure so he laughed at him.
