Chapter 2050: No Way to Arrest Her

Grant confessed he initially intended to end his life. Since acquiring sleeping pills proved difficult, he purchased a drug that accelerated blood clotting. Despite knowing the pain it would inflictโ€”a painful death, he was in the terminal stages of his cancer and expected to die by day's end. He reasoned that the pain would at least alleviate some of his inner torment.

โ€œSo, you were trying to kill yourself?โ€ Lucian asked, slightly surprised. Winnie's arrest would be jeopardized if that were the case.

Grant stopped speaking and wept uncontrollably. Roxanne, witnessing his distress, gradually calmed, her gaze hardening.

โ€œWhat gives you the right to cry, Grant? What right do you have to die? Winnie did this; you should have dragged her down with you. You're still not over her, aren't you? You still have two children with her.โ€

A wave of regret washed over her. She wished she'd ignored her father and simply let him die.

โ€œIโ€™m so sorry, Roxanne!โ€ Grant began, but Roxanne cut him off. She wanted only to find Winnie.

I'll never let that btch off!* she thought.

Lucian, seeing his wifeโ€™s fury, quickly intervened, taking the wheel himself and heading to the police station to check on the investigation. However, just as they arrived, the investigating officer called.

โ€œMr. Farwell, tests revealed an excessive amount of coagulant in Mr. Jarvisโ€™s system, causing blood clots. It suggests poisoning or an overdose. Mr. Jarvis has awakened and we requested his cooperation, but he insists he took the drugs himself. Since he was attempting suicide, the case isโ€ฆโ€

Lucian glanced at Roxanne, hoping she hadnโ€™t overheard. What's going on with Grant? He pleads for forgiveness, then breaks down, yet testifies in Winnieโ€™s defense to prevent her arrest. Is he schizophrenic? He worried about Roxanne's reaction.

Lucian decided against telling Roxanne, saying to the officer, โ€œWeโ€™ll be there shortly. Thereโ€™s something I need your help with.โ€

โ€œNo problem. Iโ€™ll wait for you.โ€ The officer hung up.

As Lucian put away his phone, Roxanne abruptly asked, โ€œIs there no way to arrest her?โ€ A bitter smile touched her lips.

He nodded. โ€œItโ€™s fine. Even if we canโ€™t arrest her, we can still find her.โ€

After Lucian spoke with the officer, the latterโ€™s understanding was evident; he provided Winnieโ€™s address. The couple immediately drove to a suburban mansion. Lucian, mindful of his pregnant wifeโ€™s safety, dispatched Cayden to send bodyguards.

They arrived after ten oโ€™clock. Roxanne gritted her teeth, enraged by the mansionโ€™s size.

How can Winnie live so comfortably after her unconscionable actions? Doesnโ€™t she have nightmares?

The seven or eight bodyguards arrived. The gate security initially attempted to stop them, but quickly relented. Lucian continued comforting Roxanne, urging her to remain calm and focus on eliciting the truth from Winnie while he recorded their conversation.
