Chapter 668 Iâll Abide by the Law
Caroline asked, âWhat would you do if thereâs undeniable proof?â
Evan replied, âIâll follow the law. But donât you think itâs unfair if you reject me for this?â
Caroline countered, âWhatâs fair then? Should I accept my enemyâs son? Have you ever considered my
I
feelings?â
Evan grew cold at Carolineâs perceived unreasonableness. âYou need to calm down.â
Caroline persisted, âI canât calm down! The truth is out. Would you calm down if it were you?â
Evan remained silent.
Caroline sneered and declared, âSee? No one can accept it. Iâm going home.â
She rose and headed toward the hot spring area.
While looking at her departing figure, Evan picked up his phone tensely and called Reuben.
Reuben answered promptly.
Evan asked coldly, âHowâs the investigation into Carolineâs father going?â

Reuben reported, âI was just about to report to you, Mr. Jordan. We encountered Mr. Xanderâs men while looking into the people involved in
that yearâs bidding. They claim Ms. Shentonâs fatherâs death is likely
linked to your fatherâ¦â
With a determined look, Evan instructed, âKeep digging. I want the truth.â
Reuben replied, âUnderstood, Mr. Jordan.â
Draco was about to take a nap at Jordan Residence when he received an unexpected call from an
unfamiliar number.
Perplexed, he answered, âWho is this?â
The caller identified himself, âItâs Oswald Hoffman. You paid me a significant sum to abstain from bidding
on the wealthy area that year.â
Draco narrowed his eyes, struggling to recall who Oswald was. After a moment, he said, âOh, I remember
now. Whatâs the matter?â

Oswald explained, âI understand youâre busy, and you may have forgotten our arrangement. You told me
to inform you if anyone inquired about the bidding.â

Draco sat up abruptly, alert, and asked, âHas someone approached you?â
âYes. While they arenât prominent figures, they seem quite capable.
Draco was now vigilant. âYou know what to do. Money wonât be an issue.â
Draco was well aware of Oswaldâs intentions. It seemed Oswald intended to manipulate the situation to
extract more money from him, given his prolonged silence.
Oswald got to the point, âI know, but Iâm in a financial bind right now.â
Draco snorted. âIâll give you 280,000 dollars once itâs done.â
Oswald chuckled. âBut I believe your worth exceeds that, doesnât it?â
Annoyed, Draco reprimanded, âYouâre simply identifying those involved. How much do you need for that?â
With that, he abruptly ended the call, fearing Oswald might know too much.
Draco wondered who else could have revealed the information from that year.
After a brief reflection, he called for Bernard, who promptly entered.
âMay I help you, Master Jordan?â Bernard asked.
Draco asked with seriousness, âDo you recall the events from over 20 years ago?â
Bernard appeared surprised. âYou mean the Hugh Aday incident?â
Draco squinted. Iâm getting forgetful with age. Did we leave any information that could be used against
us?â
âAt that time, there were no outsiders, Master Jordan. Youâre worrying needlessly. Furthermore, itâs ancient history. No one will care, Bernard
reassured him.
Draco stated gravely, âOswald wouldnât be demanding so much money if it were that simple.â
âOswald?â After a moment, Bernard remembered who he was. âDid he request money from you?â
Draco remained silent, his expression dark.
Bernardâs face mirrored the concem. âPerhaps someone has disclosed something, or he has discovered something himself. Otherwise, he
wouldnât be approaching you for money.â
