Chapter 501

After Gideon left, Tarquin summoned Josiah to his room to inquire about the progress of the investigation.

Josiah, visibly trembling, managed to stutter out, "It's... still under investigation."

Tarquin looked at him calmly, "I know whether I've committed murder or not. Like I said last night, as long as you stick to the facts, we're good. If you run into any trouble, you can come to me."

Josiah's heart skipped a beat, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, "Sure, sure."

Back in his own office, Josiah realized his shirt was soaked through with sweat.

He understood the subtext of Tarquin's words. Tarquin was aware someone was framing him and was warning him.

The situation was dire. Someone was out to pin a murder charge on Tarquin, and Tarquin wasn't going to be an easy target.

And now, Josiah was caught in the middle!

He felt like the cream in an Oreo, with Tarquin, the fierce lion, on one side, and the crowd eager to see Tarquin fall on the other.

He couldn't afford to offend either side!

What a predicament!
