Hour Chase

"I have decided not to marry him. I made the decision yesterday. So now I have a lot of time..."

There is plenty of time to spend with you.

With his father coming forward, this marriage may be able to come to an end.

No matter how you think about it, it is very unwise to maintain such a relationship with Neil.

Of course, his behavior is capricious and impulsive.Caroline felt extremely funny just thinking about it.

Since childhood, the so-called dominance of life has never belonged to me.

The words and deeds of my father and mother determine the direction of my life.

Although he had instilled strict family upbringing in himself, compared to the aristocratic manners of other families, his father always treated him with an open mind.

At least I understand that everything my father does is for my own growth.And not out of some ridiculous "family honor".

Until his mother passed away, the change in his father's attitude also brought his ownership of life closer to himself.

Unfortunately, even so, it just turns a rule into a choice.

If not, there would be no encounter with Neil.

A young and promising young male entrepreneur, such a title, is the best partner for dating.

In a city like London, however, even an entrepreneur with a small company of fewer than five people can carry the title.

But there are very few young entrepreneurs like Neil.

Relying on the friendship between his father and Neil's father, the development of the love relationship with Neil was carried out with the acquiescence of the two parents.

Having chosen Neil, I have chosen a marriage partner for myself early on. This is the most important thing.Father always thought so.

I didn't expect it to be such a relationship, and now I can break it with my own hands, which was unimaginable before.

Even though it was borrowed from my father...

This is the first time, and it is also a decision made by myself.

There is nothing more important than this decision to decide your own life.

If so, there's only...the one who lets himself make up his mind.

The strange thing is that Ellie has been silent since just now, and she doesn't know what made her become like this.

"Don't you want to know where I am now?"

"You...you should be at home?"

Sure enough, although she didn't expect any strange answers from her, she was too unwilling to spend time perfunctory herself!

"According to my intuition, you must have encountered troublesome things today, right?"

Caroline looked at the ceiling, her head was still turned upside down due to the hangover, and she really didn't have more energy to play this kind of guessing game with Ellie.

"Did I hit the mark?"

"Well... indeed. The police came to question me today."

"Police? For what?"

"Just confirmed some information to me, and asked me to provide evidence. About Neil Adams' illegal evidence."

Ellie's words made Caroline wake up all of a sudden, and she sat up with her hands supported.

After so many years, I know more or less about the business dealings of the Adams family from some channels.

What maintains the superficially glamorous large enterprises are the countless sources of black funds hidden beneath them.

"Tell me exactly what it is!"

As the police chief said yesterday, David is ready to meet the police who come to the company to petition.

However, this matter was not discussed with Allie in advance.

After being called into the conference room by David, Ellie meets two young policemen in suits.

After David's simple explanation, Ellie also thought a lot in her heart about what to say and what not to say.

Sure enough, that time...

"We have brought over the contract that Mr. David handed over to the police. Miss Allie, please confirm whether the goods of this company are delivered by you?"

The contract looked familiar, and the company name on it was indeed the company that had delivered the goods by itself.

Seeing Ellie nodded, one of the policemen took out a few photos from the briefcase he was carrying.

"There are a few questions we want to ask Miss Ellie. If you know anything, please tell us in detail."

Another man was writing something in a notebook, apparently to record a statement.

"So, first question. According to the date on the contract, which is October 26th, when you shipped the goods for this company called Tlory, did you know what kind of goods you were sending?"

The two policemen looked at him together, and the four eyes seemed to see through him, which really made people feel restless.

David was no longer by his side, feeling suffocated by the pressure around him.

"No... I don't know. If it was a normal company, they would tell us in advance what we need to deliver. But... that time it wasn't. From the beginning to the end, I didn't know anything..."

As if believing Ellie's testimony, the policeman nodded and wrote down Ellie's words in detail.

"but…"

Ellie's sudden speech made the policeman stop writing and turn his eyes to Ellie.

"Did you think of anything else? It doesn't matter, you can tell."

I don't know if this is considered useful evidence, Ellie hesitated for a while, and said it.

"Although I don't know what those goods are, but I remember... At that time, I said casually, 'could it be something like a pistol', and the security guard who helped unload the goods got angry at me as if very angry..."

After speaking, Ellie scratched her head with an embarrassed expression.

"You mean a pistol, don't you?"

The policeman repeats, getting Ellie's nod.

Such testimony is indeed very surprising.The two policemen looked at each other and nodded.

"Thank you for your testimony. Then here, we also want you to reiterate the purpose of this visit. The day before yesterday, our London police arrested a manager of Tlory Company on charges of private manufacture and gun trafficking. In this In the company's underground warehouse, we found a small amount of light weapons. Based on this, it is inferred that these weapons are likely to be illegal arms that have not yet been sold to foreign countries."

After a pause, the policeman added.

"According to the testimony given by the manager, your company was responsible for delivering these weapons."

Hearing this, Ellie couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Unexpectedly, what I said casually became a reality!

"That! That..."

"You don't need to be nervous. Although the delivery of arms is also a violation of the law, since your company signed a confidentiality agreement with Tlory and delivered this batch of goods without your company's knowledge, the penalty will be reduced accordingly. But as evidence, your The company is also obliged to provide the police with testimony in this case. Therefore, we, the police, hope again that if your company still has any testimony that can be provided, please contact us."

"Oh... um."

At this moment, Ellie noticed the existence of those photos.Each has a human head printed on it.

"Excuse me, are these...?"

Allie asked, pointing to the photo.

"These are some of Tlory's company personnel that our police are going to want. Do you have any idea?"

The police pushed the photos in front of Ellie and asked Ellie to check them one by one.

From the first picture, each photo has its own name written below it.

It's a pity that until the penultimate one, none of them have been seen by myself.

Just when she wanted to shake her head to express her ignorance, the last photo made Ellie look away from then on.

"Do you know this person?"

Naturally, the police would not let go of this detail and asked Ellie directly.

In fact, Ellie shook her head hurriedly when the police asked her, and said that she did not know the man named Neil Adams.

Of course, the police did not doubt these words.

After explaining some precautions to Ellie, he left.

David waited outside the meeting room, and he was relieved until two policemen came out from inside.

"What did they ask? Did they make things difficult for you?"

Ellie shook her head, went back to the room alone, and locked the door.

Why didn't she say that she knew him... Ellie regretted it.

Even if it is not said now, Neil's arrest by the police is only a matter of incident.

Although I don't want to admit it, but... as long as she thinks that Caroline is going to marry him, and a person who is about to go to prison, Ellie hesitates.

A person like him... probably, would run away.

As long as he is not caught, he must be able to escape with the strength of his family.

It's not even certain that it can be settled.

As long as he thinks this way, maybe Neil will have a chance.So, what about Caroline?

Leaning against the edge of the bed, Ellie sat on the ground.The things in my mind became more and more complicated, and I didn't know where these strange ideas came from.

It's just too strange why you should think about him.

A person like him doesn't need the consideration of a person like himself.

Even if he can fly, that's all his business.

However, if he is finally punished by the law, the saddest... Caroline will be.

What could be worse than having your fiancé go to jail...

With that in mind, Ellie lowered her head and gently scratched the floor with her fingernails, feeling depressed.

It wasn't until the afternoon, after receiving a call from Caroline, that he felt a little relieved.

"If he gets arrested, that would be the best thing in my life!"

Ellie was a little shocked by Caroline's extremely positive attitude.

It's a pity that I was so depressed, I didn't expect that Caroline had already decided not to marry Neil...

"So? Is it because of this that you are so silent?!"

"But...but, in case...he must marry..."

"Then let's wait until he gets out of prison in his next life! Really! I really don't know what you are afraid of!"

Caroline must be angry... If I was by her side, I would definitely be beaten up by her...

"That…"

"Ok?"

"You haven't told where you are..."

Hearing Ellie's tone, she must have been frightened by her attitude, so Caroline had no choice but to lie down again.

It's like this every time, always complaining about things that have nothing to do with me.

"I'm not in London, I'm on my grandmother's ranch right now, sort of on vacation... won't be back for a few days."

"I see. Then...have fun."

"Do you want to come?"
