Young Master Vance Has An Enchanting Wife!-Chapter 284: No Leads Tracing Back to May Morgan

The best way in turbulent times is to play it safe first. May wasn’t sure if this event was a trap set by Brianna, so she decided to act as an outsider and observe.

The policeman thought May’s answer was full of holes and couldn’t help but ask again: ’Then may I ask, why are you with Victor Grant so late at night?’

"We were discussing something earlier, and then his subordinate got into trouble. Victor happened to be on the way to send me home, so in a hurry, he brought me along."

This answer left the policeman with no fault to pick, and at that moment, Victor Grant came over, so the policemen went to ask Victor about the specifics.

At this point, Victor Grant had to half-lie to the police and say: ’It’s like this, Brianna owes me some money and hasn’t paid it back, so I had my subordinates kidnap her as a threat. But just when we brought her, my subordinate suddenly died, and Brianna ran away. I strongly suspect her involvement in my subordinate’s death. Please uphold justice for me and ensure that woman is caught.’

While Victor Grant was negotiating with the police, the coroner in charge of the autopsy had already completed preliminary inspections. Seeing this, Victor quickly chased after him to inquire: ’How is it? Did my subordinate die from poisoning or was it murder?’

"Neither. I just briefly inspected the bodies of the deceased and found their abdomen very soft; their organs should have rotted. However, further examination is required, and I’ll have the results for you by tomorrow at the latest!"

Upon hearing the coroner say all three had rotten stomachs, Victor’s subordinates immediately turned white with fright, especially Kevin Warren, who was already terrified by the previous scenes and now clutched Victor’s arm, trembling, saying: ’Boss, I told you that woman is strange, and now you believe me? Look, it’s not human strength that made their stomachs rot so quickly. Brianna is a ghost!’

Victor glared at the cowardly Kevin, then shoved him into the hands of his other subordinates, hurriedly saying: ’You guys take him away quickly, there’s no business for you here.’

If Kevin is this scared, and later gets taken as a witness to the precinct, won’t he spill everything? Although kidnapping isn’t a huge crime, spreading the word won’t be good for his reputation either.

Victor doesn’t care much about his reputation, after all, he’s not a good guy in Silverwood City anyway. But this matter started because of May, and if it’s thoroughly investigated, it would affect May too.

Victor would rather take the blame himself than tarnish May’s reputation. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

However, the words Kevin spoke earlier to Victor were all heard by the police, who now fretted having no witness. Now there’s a witness, yet Victor intentionally hid him; is there some hidden agenda?

"Mr. Grant, we need your brother to come with us. Since he’s a witness, he has to come for questioning and record a statement."

The police exchanged glances and without another word, arrested Victor’s subordinate Kevin Warren.

Kevin Warren, being timid and afraid, panicked when the police arrested him, repeatedly shouted to Victor: ’Big brother, save me! You asked me to do this, it has nothing to do with me!’

Victor feared Kevin would spill everything before they even reached the precinct, so angrily punched Kevin, which made him dazed: "Useless fool! I told you to collect the debt, not to cause deaths!"

Victor intentionally knocked Kevin out to temporarily silence him, so the police wouldn’t question him and thus prevent exposed anything about May.

Seeing Victor actually beat up the key witness, the policemen sternly said: ’Mr. Grant, we now seriously suspect you are interfering with our investigation, please come to the precinct with us.’

Victor didn’t mind going to the precinct; he’s been there before, and with his status, he wouldn’t stay long. But May was still here, so he’d prefer to send May home first.

"I don’t mind going to the precinct, but my girlfriend is still here; I don’t feel comfortable leaving her. Let me send her home first, then I’ll go to the precinct to give you my statement, okay?"

"That’s not acceptable; it’s not up to you. We will personally send your girlfriend back, so you don’t need to worry." The police were firm, demanding Victor to be taken away immediately.

Victor turned rough, feeling a bit displeased, about to lose his temper when May suddenly pulled him aside, then turned to the police and said: ’Since you’re taking Victor, I’ll also go to the precinct.’

Victor looked at May in surprise, not understanding why she would drag herself into this, and angrily yelled: ’Why are you causing trouble? This has nothing to do with you! Go back and sleep.’

May looked up at him, ignoring his reprimand, and walked to the police, speaking calmly: ’Actually, I lied earlier. I’m the one who suggested kidnapping Brianna. I have personal grievances with Brianna, but I never intended to harm her, just wanted to threaten her to leave my husband. I never expected this outcome; now Brianna is missing, and I’m very worried. I hope you will do your best to find Brianna. Also, this matter is significantly related to my husband, Vincent. You should summon him to the precinct for clarification.’

After finishing, May stretched out her hand for the police to cuff: ’I’m wrong for kidnapping Brianna, and I admit it. But I hope you can explain the unclear death of my friend’s subordinate. I’ll take responsibility for my mistakes without evasion, you can ask me anything, and I’ll speak without reservation. But this matter also implicates Brianna and Vincent, I hope you won’t be partial.’

The police exchanged glances, not cuffing May, but also not planning to let her go that easily.

"Then, shall Mrs. Vance come with us to the precinct? And you too, Mr. Grant; you have to come along."

At this point, Victor had nothing to say and could only take May and follow the police onto the car.
