It was a call from the police station.
Kian pressed the speakerphone button after picking up so that he wouldn't have to repeat the information to Ayan.
"Hello, Kian," the police officer responsible for the matter on the police station's side said, "We just received a distress call claiming to know the whole truth about Mrs. Armstrong's incident."
Given the involvement of Page and the high current attention on the matter, it was impossible for the police not to take it seriously.
Faced with this inquiry, Kian naturally couldn't provide an answer and subconsciously looked at Ayan.
Ayan's face remained cold, showing no obvious expression. He only squinted his eyes slightly and said in a calm voice, "Since the other party knows the truth, please have the police station investigate in detail and provide our family with the truth as soon as possible."
The police on the other end also recognized Ayan's voice and quickly responded, "Certainly, Mr. Simpson. We will dispatch officers to communicate with the informant."
Ayan didn't speak further and handed over the matter to Kian.
While Kian was wrapping up the call, Ayan had already walked over to the desk and sat down. He leaned back on the chair, emitting an air of chilly detachment.
After finishing the call, Kian approached the desk, put down the documents in his hand, and whispered, "Mr. Simpson, do you think this so-called informant might have some ulterior motive in wanting to gain something from this?"
"Is it important? This matter has nothing to do with us. As for the motives of others, it's their own business. We only need to hand everything over to the police for handling. After all, I'm just doing what a son-in-law should do. If someone doubts or makes a fuss about it, we can also play the sympathy card."
Ayan seemed to anticipate something. A handsome face exuded a cold chill, and his gaze became particularly indifferent and sinister. After he finished speaking, Kian fell into a brief silence for a few seconds, then whispered, "Mr. Simpson, should we temporarily assign someone to keep an eye on the police's actions? I'm concerned that if we neglect it, the police might think we no longer care, and they won't communicate with us promptly. It seems a bit passive." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"Hmm, I understand what you mean." Ayan squinted his eyes slightly, his expression turning colder. He said, "Handle it as you see fit. You can communicate with Logan and keep each other informed. That way, we won't end up in a passive situation."
"Okay, I understand. I'll contact Logan later," Kian quickly responded.
After their conversation ended, they continued to busy themselves with work.
It wasn't until close to lunchtime that Kian received a call from the forensic examiner, naturally about the detailed examination report.
After an in-depth conversation with the forensic examiner, Kian obtained the results and then knocked on Ayan's office door.
He truthfully conveyed the examiner's words to Ayan and asked, "Should we release the results directly?"
"No rush. First, communicate the results with the police, and then talk to the two individuals in custody based on the results," Ayan said calmly. In fact, he wasn't surprised by these results at all. After all, when something happened, there would always be someone who had to pay the price for those results.
Just learning about the result, Ayan felt a bit gloomy. His gloominess wasn't for anyone involved in the matter but solely for Camille's sake. Even though they hadn't been kind to Camille, she still felt sad and hurt. This was an indelible point.
So he started to regret a bit, wondering why he didn't tell Camille the truth about certain things earlier. If he had told her, would she have been less distressed? After all, they had been extremely indifferent to Camille, and if she hadn't married him, perhaps their attitude toward her would have been even worse?
It was evident from Camille's childhood that they had sent her straight to Flento City to live with her grandmother. Ayan was grateful that Camille received abundant love from her grandmother.
Ayan took a silent breath, his voice shallow, as he said, "You should personally go to the police station and tell them about this evidence, let them make a choice!"
Kian was momentarily stunned, but he immediately understood the meaning behind Ayan's words.
Kian said, "Mr. Simpson, wouldn't it be unwise if this were to get out?"
"The forensic examiner is on our side; no one will leak anything." Besides, even if this matter did get leaked, it wouldn't matter. They had complete control at the moment, so he wasn't worried about that.
Following Ayan's instructions, Kian went to the police station and personally met Brody. He explained the forensic examination results in detail and then asked, "Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Simpson wants you to make a choice. I believe you understand what choice he's referring to."
Brody remained silent with a stern face, his expression filled with indifference.
He seemed hesitant and conflicted, but no matter how hesitant and conflicted one might be, when faced with self-interest, one would inevitably succumb.
Brody looked up at Kian and asked, "Is Ayan really willing to help me?"
"Mr. Simpson is not helping you; he just doesn't want to see Mrs. Armstrong hurt." Kian noticed that when Brody mentioned Camille, his face twitched slightly. Kian also knew the reason behind his reaction. He continued, "Mr. Armstrong and Mrs. Armstrong haven't been good to the lady. I think Mr. Armstrong is well aware of this. However, the lady still considers the bond with the Armstrong family. Now that the Armstrong family has experienced such a significant event, and considering the rumors that have been circulating, it would be better for Mr. Armstrong to make a decision sooner rather than later."
After hesitating for two or three seconds, Brody spoke up, "I want to report Regina. My wife's death is related to Regina."
As Brody finished speaking, Kian also stood up.
In truth, Kian had already developed a strong contempt for Brody. Although it was Ayan's arrangement for him to ask Brody, it was still disgusting how Brody readily implicated the woman he had been with for many years with just a slight hesitation.
Naturally, that woman deserved to be condemned, having destroyed someone else's marriage. It was truly disgusting and repugnant.
However, as a man, Kian found Brody, who showed no sense of responsibility, even more detestable. Men who only pushed all the blame onto women when faced with a situation were truly unlucky. Page and Regina were the best outcome in dealing with such men.
Kian looked at Brody expressionlessly and said, "I will have the police come in and take your statement. You can have a detailed conversation with them later!"
