Chapter 245

“It’s over, Ben.There is no more hope.”

Jean stared at the completely burnt room.

There was bleak emptiness in her eyes.

The information she had gathered—her only hope of getting her revenge, was all gone.

Ben clenched his fists.

Although he was furious about what happened at the Knox’s that day, after some thinking, he realized that Jean had no other choices too.He quickly rushed over when he heard that her place was on fire.

“Jean, don’t think like that.There must still be…”

“Are you Jean Eyer?”

A police officer spoke from outside the door.

“We suspect that the fire was man-made.We need your cooperation in our investigation.Please follow us to the station.”

Jean frowned and looked at Ben.

“They are leading me to a dead end”

That way, no one would find out the truth of her father’s death.The evidence that those people had destroyed Eyer Group will be gone forever too.

This happened right after Zenith had passed the evidence to her.It was evident that those people were concerned about it.

“I’ll go with you-”

“No, I’ll go myself.If you really want to help me, go to the Knox’s for me.”

Jean completed the interrogation without a lawyer nor a friend present.She sat in the corridor of the police station to wait for the results.

The TV on the wall was broadcasting today’s economic news.

“Royden Group plans to expand into the real estate market by the end of this year…”

The Royden’s business was indeed flourishing.

“Ms.Eyer?”

A voice sounded.

Jean raised her head and looked.

A well-dressed man in a suit was looking at her.
