Chapter 323 - Investigating The Real Murderer!
The Abandoned Husband Dominates
There are thousands of beautiful women in this world; clothes and makeup are the key to outshining others.
Every woman has a style that suits her best.
For example, Hailey may be a vile woman who was also a chronic adulterer, but pure and innocent outfits were the fashion style that suited her the best.
Her pretty face was one in a million and she could easily put on an innocent expression to coax and deceive her boyfriend anywhere at any time. Hence, she was naturally suitable for that style.
If she were to wear sexy clothing like skin-tight dresses or lace clothing, she probably wouldnât be able to carry it.
On the other hand, Victoria was a mature woman who wouldnât suit such pure and innocent clothes. If she were to dress in a preppy chic style, it would sabotage her looks.
Only by dressing in professional business wear would her aura as a domineering CEO be accentuated. She was the most perfect.
Meanwhile, Lauren was a sweet-looking woman who had a girl-next-door vibe. Any outfit she wore would accentuate her beauty, and she just needed to make sure that she didnât wear makeup that made her look too cold.
Similarly, Emily wasnât as pretty as Hailey, Victoria, and Lauren; and her figure was inferior to Elleâs, too.
However, when she dons the flight attendant uniform, she would exude a charm that would make any man forget any other beautiful woman!
In order to let Jordan take a clear look at her figure, Emily deliberately inched very close to Jordan, which made him feel rather shy and awkward.
âOkay, Emily, stop it.â
Emily was still indignant. âWell then, tell me, do I have a good figure or not?â
Jordan answered, âYes!â
Emily asked, âAm I perfect or not!?â
Jordan answered, âYes!â
Emily asked, âAm I good enough for your brother?â
Jordan answered, âYes, absolutely. Heâs the one who isnât worthy of you!â
Emily exclaimed, âCall me your sister-in-law then!â
Jordan said, âHow dare you take advantage of me, you little girl? Iâm going to teach you a lesson!â
âAh, Salvatore, help. Jordan is going to hit me!â
Emily leaped up in a pair of rounded flats, which were part of her flight attendant attire.
â¦
With the company of the bubbly Emily, Jordanâs flight of more than ten hours became rather interesting and enjoyable.
He even forgot what the purpose of the trip was and the fact that Victoria would be marrying Russell soon.
Jordan began to understand why Victoria chose to hide many things from Emily because she really did not want to make a cheerful girl like her who often wore a bright smile on her face, to become broody all the time.
More than ten hours passed, and Jordan arrived in Paris, where it was drizzling. A few of them headed to the police headquarters of Paris by car.
A police officer named Frankie received Jordan.
Jordan was rather proficient in French, so he said directly in French, âI want to investigate the murder of an American man who was killed 11 years ago on the 29th of August in LEBALL bar on Rue Jacques Rousseau.â
âThe name of the murdered man is Norman Clarke.â
Norman was Victoria and Emilyâs father.
Soon, Officer Frankie pulled up the information of cases that happened in that year.
He introduced to Jordan, âMr. Norman Clarke is a software engineer who came to Paris to attend an academic seminar that year.â
âAccording to the information, he went to LEBALL bar alone that night, but he left with another man.â
âWe suspect that Mr. Clarkeâs death is related to that man.â
Jordan hurriedly asked, âHow much information is there about the murderer? Is there any surveillance camera footage?â
âYes.â Officer Frankie handed Jordan a piece of paper on which there was a photo, which was a screen grab of the surveillance camera footage. âBut itâs very blurry and his face canât be seen clearly.â
âBack then, we conducted a search in Paris based on his build and eventually concluded that he was probably an illegal immigrant or a gang member.â
âWe learned Norman is an excellent programmer whoâs also the owner of a technology company, with many competitors back in the US.â
âWe suspect that his competitors may have hired a hitman to assassinate him.â
Jordan knew that they definitely did not want Norman to die in the hands of a Frenchman.
Jordan continued to ask, âHow did Norman Clarke die? Was his body shipped back to the US?â
Officer Frankie said, âHe was shot to death. There were many customers at the bar that night who all heard the gunshots.â
âImmediately afterwards, Norman was taken to the hospital, but unfortunately, we lost the corpse.â
âLost?â Jordan froze for a moment.
Frankie said, âYes, the hospital lost the corpse of another Frenchman but in order to escape from the law, that staff member cremated Norman Clarkeâs corpse in an attempt to muddle through but he was still caught in the end.â
âWe can confirm that Norman Clarke is indeed dead, and the documents that were on his body can also prove his identity.â
Since the police said so, it should be correct.
Jordan still wanted to know who the other man Norman was with was!
âSince Victoria said she wanted to take revenge, then she must know who the murderer is. If the police donât know, there must be someone else who knows!â
Jordan didnât waste any more time in the police station and instead headed straight to the murder site, LEBALL bar on Rue Jacques Rousseau.
The bar was still open now.
âI only have 24 hours to spend in Paris. If we take too long, I wonât be able to rush back to stop Victoria from getting married!â
Jordan was really anxious because he couldnât afford to delay for a single hour at all!
Reason being Victoria had promised Russell to give him her body on the day of their wedding!
Jordan would never let Russell have Victoria again!
Jordan asked around in the bar and the owners of the shops on the streets around the bar, but unfortunately, he didnât find any clues at all.
âWhat should we do, Jordan? Itâs been so many years since the murder happened. Even if someone really knows about this, they are probably not in Paris, or perhaps theyâve died, right?â
Emily was rather dejected, too.
Jordan didnât believe that he couldnât find that person.Since Russell could find out who the murderer was, Jordan believed it was only a matter of time before he did too!
Jordan kept looking at his watch. He was already running out of time and in order to find the real murderer as soon as possible; he put up notices on TV, radio stations, and on the Internet to inform the public that he would be offering a reward of 5 million francs to find clues!
Five million francs amounted to more than five million dollars, which was enough to make many agitated.
However, there were many who came to Jordan, but most of them were just there for the bounty without having any concrete proof.
Soon, 20 hours passed, and Jordan was still searching for clues.
Pablo, who was in Houston, called and said, âMr. Jordan, you must quickly prepare to return. If you donât leave the country within four hours, Miss Victoria will marry Russell!â
There was not much time left for Jordan!
Jordan, who was sitting at the LEBALL bar, was smoking and feeling rather troubled.
At this moment, a white man in his fifties walked over to sit down beside Jordan and asked for a cup of brandy. He sized him up with a peculiar gaze.
âWhy are you also investigating that matter? Is that man who died of high status in the US?â
