Chapter 382 Mr. Knight Still Cares About You


"Man, we've checked everything, but nada. No clues at all. Mr. Ambrose Vale, if you pulled this off, I gotta say, you're a real Houdini," Neil said with a smirk. "You're like our arch-nemesis, the king of perfect crimes." Pulling the wool over everyone's eyes, even his own dad's, and pinning it on Alaric? That was some next-level stuff.

"Officer Neil, you crack me up," Ambrose replied, playing it cool.

Neil chuckled, "Yeah, just messin' with ya. Anyway, Mr. Stuart Vale, Mr. Ambrose Vale, I gotta bounce. Busy day."

As Neil walked away, Ambrose watched Stuart's face closely and twisted the story, "Neil's totally been bought off by Alaric, trying to stir the pot between us. Dad, don't buy into it. Todd's death? Not on me!" He'd even thought about faking his own death to clear his name, and Stuart had seen it all. Since then, Stuart hadn't doubted him one bit.

Stuart sneered, "Yeah, Alaric's got Neil in his pocket. I really underestimated that guy; he's a tough nut to crack."

Ambrose let out a huge sigh of relief. Phew, Stuart didn't suspect a thing; he was sweating bullets there for a sec.

"Josep from the Institute of Medical Pioneers is here to pay respects!"

Stuart and Ambrose turned to see Josep. Stuart asked, "Is this the doc who saved Alaric?"

Ambrose nodded, "Yeah, if it wasn't for him sticking his nose in, Alaric would be six feet under by now."
