Chapter 621: Chapter 621 Suspicion

Leslie shook his head, “Mr. Holt didn’t want Miss Granger to know about this!”

Fabian smiled and gripped the card in his hand. He had mixed feelings.

“Uncle Holt is no longer here. You should take the card back and find a chance to give it to Eudora!”

Leslie did not accept it and said, “She has her own arrangements. This was Mr. Holt’s instructions to me. You’d better take it!”

After that, Leslie turned around and walked away.

Fabian took the card and was stupefied for a while. Then, he turned around and left.

After the two of them parted ways, Eudora frowned. It turned out that something had happened to the Nolan family before her father passed away.

If that was the case, that night, did Fabian really follow Callum out just to reason with those people?

Eudora’s eyebrows were locked in a tight knot. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Hodge’s voice from behind her.

“The police called and requested your cooperation to make a statement!”

For the past few days, the police didn’t reach out to Eudora because of Tyler’s funeral. They probably remembered to do so now.

Eudora nodded, “Alright, I understand!”

…

In the police station, Eudora’s statements were finished rather quickly. It was nothing more than her blurting out all the things she saw that day. The police officer responsible for recording her statements happened to be the same person who stood behind Harley in the hotel this morning. He had a good impression of Eudora, so he chatted with her.

“Miss George, you look so gentle. I didn’t expect you to be so brave! If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know how longer it would’ve taken us to convince Shawn Carter today!”

Eudora smiled and asked casually, “Why was Charlie, the one who hurt my father, in the hospital that day?”

It was not a secret, so the police officer replied casually.

“Oh, that’s because our boss asked for help…”

Before he finished his words, Harley pushed the door open from the outside and entered. He interrupted them, “Haven’t you finished recording her statement yet? You’re getting slower at doing your job!”

The police officer immediately got up and said, “It’s done, I’ve completed it! Miss George, I’ll get back to work. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Eudora frowned and watched the two of them leave. She hurriedly stopped Harley and asked, “Are you guys hiding something from me?”

Harley was stunned and hesitated to speak. Suddenly, he heard Fabian’s voice from behind him.

“Eudora, why are you here?”

As Fabian spoke, he naturally stood in front of Eudora.

Harley smiled coldly and swallowed back his words.

“Nothing you should know!”

Eudora was speechless.

She didn’t know that Harley was so petty. How could he be so short-tempered?

However, there wasn’t much she could do if he refused to tell her.

Fabian called Eudora again as she was deep in her thoughts.

“You’re here to record your statements, aren’t you? I’m just here to see Callum. Do you want to come with me?”

Eudora nodded. It just so happened that she also wanted to know more about this case.

Since Fabian brought a lawyer with him, they were able to see Callum rather quickly. Those that entered the detention room seemed haggard, but Callum was relatively relaxed when he saw them. Eudora noticed that he maintained his cool expression regardless where he was.

When he saw Eudora, he wore the same teasing expression as before.

“Is this what people call ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’? Mr. Nolan, your relationship with Miss George has improved by leaps and bounds.”

Eudora pursed her lips and remained silent. Fabian chuckled, “Don’t talk nonsense! I came here today to tell you that I have found a lawyer for you. This matter was definitely caused by those that betrayed the Nolan family in the beginning. I will try my best to bail you out. Don’t worry.”

Callum seemed to never doubt Fabian’s words and he chortled, “Boss, I know what you’re talking about. I didn’t do anything wrong, so of course, I trust you! It’s just a pity that Mr. Holt was killed for no reason. Oh right, what happened to Mr. Holt’s murderer?”

Hearing this, Fabian glanced at Eudora and did not speak.

Callum glanced at her too and continued, “Miss George, I heard that the man who shot him was Amos’ confidant, am I right?”

“Callum!” Fabian interrupted him, “Enough, stop talking!”

With that, Callum fell quiet. Then, Eudora got up and went out.

Fabian quickly chased after her and said, “Eudora, Callum was too blunt. Don’t mind him.”

Eudora smiled and replied, “I still have something to do, so I’ll go back first.”

“Wait, Eudora!” Fabian stopped Eudora again. He took out a card from his wallet and handed it to her, telling her, “Uncle Clarke gave this to me. He said that Uncle Holt told him to give it to me when he was still alive. I feel humiliated since I didn’t expect Uncle Holt to worry about me.”

Eudora was stunned. Wasn’t this the card that Leslie handed Fabian this morning?

At that time, she suspected that Fabian was trying to hide the truth from her regarding what happened at the hospital. But now, she was perplexed as to why he was being honest all of a sudden.

“Well, since my father wanted to give it to you, you should keep it!”

“I really don’t need it!” Fabian replied, “I am a man. If I can’t even protect my own family, how can I protect my future wife and children?”

He said this to Eudora with an intense passion in his eyes.

Eudora pretended that she didn’t notice it and said, “Then, I’ll take it back. If you need it, just let me know!”

Fabian nodded and offered, “Let me take you home.”

“There’s no need to. The driver sent me here.”

Fabian did not insist any further. After Eudora left, he stood there for a while and said to the lawyer behind him.

“How confident are you in winning the case?”

The lawyer smiled and declared, “Mr. Nolan, don’t you trust us? Since you hired me, you should know that we have never lost a case. Don’t worry, I will use all my power to turn the tides! But, Mr. Nolan, please don’t forget the reward you promised us!”

Fabian’s lips curved into a mocking smile.

“Don’t tell me, you’re also one of those who thinks that the Nolan family is really on the verge of collapse?”

The lawyer was shocked and hurriedly shook his head, denying it, “How could that be? The Nolan family is at the top in Greene City, that will never change!”

“It’s good that you know!” After saying that, Fabian got up and left.

As soon as he got into the car, Fabian rubbed his temples in distress. His assistant, Bache, immediately asked, “Mr. Nolan? Are you not feeling well? Shall I bring you  home to rest?”

“There’s no need to. I told you to find a way to take out our private stash of funds, have you gotten it done?”

“It has been taken care of, don’t worry. I used a little trick this time to ensure that it will not be discovered by the police. However, this money will only solve the most pressing problems at hand now. What will we do after that?”

“I’ll make the arrangements, don’t worry!” Fabian said wearily.

He recalled Eudora’s expression just now. It had already come to this point, but she was still willing to believe in Amos.

It seemed that the relationship between them was better than he had imagined!

Even so, that wouldn’t stop him from marrying her!
