My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 205 The Suspects Burnell and his friends were nothing compared to Jakson. Although Burnell was a b*stard who always bullied the weak ones, he never dared to confront someone like Jakson.
âJakson...â Burnell called out in fear.
Jakson ignored him and looked directly at the bodyguard. âWhatâs going on?â
The bodyguard explained the situation, and Jakson looked at Mrs. Taylor indifferently. âLet go of him!â
Mrs. Taylor still wasnât aware of the situation. She saw the group of people was on the bodyguardâs side and decided to play the same trick. She rushed toward Jakson, wanting to drag his clothes and scream like a shrew again.
Jakson frowned when he saw her rushing towards him. The man behind him grabbed Mrs. Taylorâs hand and twisted her arm.
Mrs. Taylorâs horrifying scream resounded through the entire corridor. She felt a piercing pain and couldnât feel her arm anymore.
âYou, you...â
Jakson glanced at her fiercely. âIâm not from the Smith family. If you dare to trick me, Iâll chop off you and your sonâs hands.â
Mrs. Taylor freaked out. She didnât dare to move, as if she had lost her spirit.
Burnell and his father dared not to speak and trembled in fear.
Jakson winked at the bodyguard to let him take Burnell away. The bodyguard was overjoyed and grabbed Burnellâs arms with some others. Burnell was unwilling, but he and his family werenât able to resist Jakson and his men.
âJakson, thank you very much.â The bodyguard was grateful.
Jakson waved his hand. Then, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his bloody pocket and started to smoke leisurely. He seemed relaxed, and his handsome face looked even more attractive behind the smoke.
His voice was lazy and hoarse. âI owe Mr. Smith a favor. No need to thank me.â
The bodyguard noticed the blood on his body and asked quickly, âAre you injured? Do you want me to send you to the hospital?â
Jakson was stunned for a second, then looked at the blood on his body and chuckled lightly. âItâs not my blood. Iâm not injured.â
Burnell and the bodyguard suddenly felt a chill. With the help of Jakson, Burnell was taken back to the Smith family.
After the interrogation, Burnellâs friends were also found. When they saw Burnellâs desperate expression, they knew he must have been forced to tell everything. Therefore, they immediately. confessed whatever they knew on their own.
When Alston came over, Burnell and the others were explaining every detail about how Jane and Cherry hired them to kidnap Cynthia.
They said that Cynthia was tied up and thrown on the ground. Then, they pulled her head and forced her to watch the fake video that Cherry had made to slander Alston. When Alston learned about this, his eyes were red, and his aura was freezing.
âYou should all go to hell!â Alston gritted his teeth. He couldnât even imagine what had happened at that time. Cynthia must have been so desperate, yet she still pretended like nothing had ever happened and treated him as usual. He didnât know how she managed to make it through.
Burnell and his friends turned pale and knelt on the ground while weeping bitterly. âMr. Smith, we were very sorry. We shouldnât be greedy for money, and we shouldnât kidnap your wife. It was Jane and Cherryâs fault. We conducted their plan, but we also thought it was too cruel.â
Jane and Cherry had always been evil and vicious.
Alston was pondering, and he suddenly frowned. He wondered if Jane and Cherry had anything to do with Lynnâs death.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Many people in Fort had a grudge against him, but they had never done anything to Lynn. Jane and Cherry had always hated Lynn and knew she was the most important person for Cynthia. That was why they wanted to harm her.
But how did they persuade Lynn to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills? Alston couldnât figure this out. Lynn already knew that she would be able to recover from surgery in a few hours. He also talked to her and knew that she cherished life very much. She wouldnât commit suicide because she still wanted to be around Cynthia and the babies, yet she still took the pills.
Now, Lynn had passed away. He could only find the truth after he caught the murderer behind the scenes.
âMr. Smith, we are sorry...â Burnell and the others were still begging for mercy.
Alston glanced at them irritably and said to the bodyguard, âIs everything recorded?â
âYes.â The bodyguard took a video of them confessing their crimes.
Alston nodded. âSend them to the police station and put them in jail for as long as possible.â
Burnell and the others were dumbfounded. They didnât expect Alston showed no mercy after they had confessed everything.
However, they didnât dare to resist. Instead of being killed by Jakson or Alston, staying in jail was a better choice to survive.
Because of what Cynthia said, Jane and Cherry doubted that Beck would give her all the property. They went to make trouble with Beck every day, but they were forbidden to go in.
Beck was busy dealing with the Tansy Group. He was so overwhelmed that he had no time to deal with them at all.
When they failed again, Jane blushed with anger. âD*mn! He refused to see us and didnât even send us a message. What is he thinking? Is he really going to give all his property to Cynthia? That b*tch doesnât care about his father at all!â
Cherry looked at the employees passing by around the entrance of the Miller Group. She and Jane used to come here often, and those employees recognized them.
These glances made Cherry feel ery humiliated. Seeing Jane babbling like a shrew, she blushed and said impatiently, âMom, letâs go home first. Itâs so embarrassing.â
Jane still wanted to vent her anger and wondered if her words could force Beck to come out. However, she also saw the surrounding staff. She didnât care about her reputation, but her daughter would feel annoyed.
Jane paused and stared fiercely at the mocking security guard. When they were about to leave, two policemen walked up to them and asked, âHello. Are you Jane and Cherry? You were involved in a kidnapping case a year ago. Come with us.â
Cherry and Jane became very nervous when they heard this and looked at each other. The only kidnapping case a year ago was Cynthiaâs.
They cleaned up all the evidence, so Alston didnât find anything to do with the two of them, nor did he find Burnell and his men.
Even if he knew that they were the ones who asked someone to kidnap Cynthia, he couldnât do anything.
A few days after the kidnapping, Alston sent someone to strip them naked and throw them in the busiest shopping mall, making them dare not go outside for a long time.
They thought the incident was over, but they didnât expect that Alston would sue them a year later after they had forgotten about it.
Cherry panicked and tightly grasped Janeâs arm.
Jane forced herself to calm down and said to the police, âI donât know what you are talking about. I have never done this kind of thing, Cherry. Did you kidnap someone?â
While no one was paying attention, she pinched Cherry hard. The severe pain brought Cherry to her senses, and she quickly shook her head. âI didnât kidnap anyone. How could we kidnap others?â
After they finished talking, they all looked at the police pitifully. âSir, did you make a mistake?â
The police officers already knew their personalities before they came. At this time, they were not confused at all. âThe person who carried out the kidnapping has been arrested. He accused you of instigating it. The only question is whether it is true or not.
Follow us to the police station.â
Jane pursed her lips and felt surprised when she learned that Alston had caught Burnell.
She panicked for a moment, then put her hands behind her back and quickly pressed a button. The phone vibrated, and her expression relaxed. Then she grabbed Cherry and said to the police, âSince youâve said so, letâs go to the police station and prove our innocence.â
Cherry exclaimed. âMom, we have never done it...â
âCherry, calm down!â Jane said in a low voice. Cherry knew she must have a plan, so she didnât resist.
The police officer saw their reaction and frowned, feeling something was wrong. Why were these two women so calm and confident if they really aid it? Could it be a misunderstanding?
