Jacob took a few steps back as he was worried that Wyatt might hit him.

“Stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point!” Wyatt snapped.

Jacob raised his hands to surrender and quickly said, “The point is, she called me on the second day after I returned to the country to ask me for help to investigate two people, and I got someone to do that. That evening when I asked to meet you at the club to discuss business, I received updates from my subordinate on the investigation. When I called her to tell her that the two people are both dead, she cried.”

“Was Oliver Marsh the man you investigated? And the other person was his wife?” Wyatt asked.

“Yes! That’s right!” Jacob nodded continuously. Letting out a sigh, he continued, “I didn’t know they were her relatives. If I had known, I wouldn’t have told her the bad news.”

Wyatt’s expression darkened when he heard that.

He had thought that Jessica knew her uncle and aunt had passed away. It turned out that she was completely unaware of it.

Who was the person who told her then?

Images of Jessica from the previous night flashed in Wyatt’s mind. She had knelt before him and pleaded with him to let Oliver and Danielle off. It turned out that she had misunderstood that he was the one who killed her family! Realization dawned on the man at once.

With a menacing gaze in his eyes, a mirthless smile appeared on Wyatt’s face. “D*mn it! How dare someone set me up!”

The culprit’s intention must have been to sow discord between him and Jessica.

“Set you up? Who?” Jacob asked curiously. Rubbing his chin, he said, “Wyatt, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Ignoring his friend, Wyatt asked, “How did she contact you previously?”

“Oh. I bought her a phone.”

“Who else knows her number?”

“Other than me, my mom has her number too.” Wyatt’s expression became even gloomier after he heard Jacob’s reply.

Wyatt had managed to get some important clues from his conversation with Jacob.
