Chapter 439 Vicente Turns Himself In
On this day, two major events happened. One was that Ingrid and Abel had officially announced that they were in love, appearing in front of the media and reporters to show off their affection. When faced with the question that whether they got married and whether it was a business marriage, two of them answered ambiguously. At the same time, they hinted that it was possible.
The marriage between the Petersen family and the Halpert family was a great event. Both families were rich and powerful. Though it wasn’t strange to see a marriage between rich and powerful families, they got into trouble in terms of public opinion, and both sides had something to do with
Silvia.
On one hand, the Petersen Group was accusing Silvia of colluding with traitors and trying to destroy the Petersen Group from the inside. On the other hand, it was the employees from the Perfuming Association who were boycotting Silvia, saying that she did not have the qualifications to do the job.
When the two things put together, it was worth pondering. Was this a kind of joint attack?
Were
the
Of course, something went wrong with Perfuming Association recently, which distracted everyone’s attention, so people didn’t pay much attention to the issue of Silvia’s qualification, and the love announcement of the two pulled the attention of the public back.
and
There were many different opinions. Some said that the two of them had joined hands long ago were deliberately trying to revenge Silvia.
But some disagreed. They thought that Silvia was very powerful. Was she worthy of the Petersen family and the entire Perfuming Association to join hands to mess with her? She was the one to be
blamed.
Eloquent people even found Silvia’s previous audio recording and spread out her words. She had said that she could add some medicine ingredients, increase the medicine effect and even add some banned products. So she was still very problematic in these people’s eyes.
The disputes online and offline did not affect Silvia at all. In fact, she was very busy recently, devoting herself to the final stage of the work.
This kind of perfume was about to be completed, and it was about the same progress as Lisa’s work. After the product assessment, everything would be finished.
Right now, the Petersen family was bustling with public opinions, while Silvia was quiet and calm.
Silvia just waited for the court to officially conclude the case and then took the normal process.
As for the other major event, it was not as sensational as the previous one, but for some people, it seemed like a heavy bomb.
Vicente turned himself in!
Vicente, who had been missing for a few days, suddenly appeared and turned himself in at the police station as soon as he appeared. He said that all of this was directed by him. It was he who contacted Amber and asked her to add prohibited ingredients to the perfume. It was all done by him. The purpose was to make the perfume be sold out as soon as it went public. It could make people be infatuated with this smell and could not be separated from it.
Vicente had said so much, and his attitude was very sincere. He also recognized everything, but… there were still a lot of doubtful points.
For example, the transaction record between him and Silvia was only about the transfer of money, and even the location of the meeting was vague. For example, where did the previous perfumer go? If it was just to fool people, there was no need to hide him afterward. Also, his surrender was too sudden and strange, and the police had to doubt his true purpose.
Ingrid had a lot of things to do recently. On one hand, she was preparing to seize power from Declan. On the other hand, she had to prepare for the marriage with Abel. And she may have to take a trip to Washington to meet with the Halpert family. She was so busy. When she heard that Vicente
shocked. had appeared and even voluntarily turned himself in, she was very
“How was he found? Did the police find him? Where did they find him? Did they say where he went. these days? Was he kidnapped?” Ingrid lowered her voice and asked the person who came to report.
“No, he went to the police station on his own. I don’t know why he suddenly came out. It’s not a kidnapping. How can there be a kidnapping without extortion? Anyway, he is now at the police. station and has been imprisoned. And he has confessed everything.”
“Everything?” She was taken aback. “What did he confess?”
“He said that everything was done by him. He met Silvia, and the contraband was also added under his instructions. Anyway, all the responsibilities are taken over by him. This thing can be solved.”
However, after hearing his words, Ingrid shook her head. Not only did she not relax a bit, but her
mood also became even heavier.
“No, I don’t think so. Something is wrong.”
If Vicente said that he was innocent and refused to admit it in any case, that would be the normal reaction. However, Ingrid knew very well that he was just a scapegoat. And with his impatient. personality, he suddenly came out after disappearing for so long and took all the blame, this was too abnormal.
Ingrid thought, there must be something wrong with this abnormal situation. I’m afraid this matter is not so simple. What I’m more worried about is that something bad will happen.
“It is impossible.” Ingrid’s subordinate frowned. “He has already confessed. What else is there to investigate? Moreover, he was the one in charge of the entire project, so it is only natural for him to plead guilty. You are oversensitive.”
“You don’t know!” Ingrid snapped, “If it was that simple, would I need to work so hard? Where is
Mr. Flores?”
“Mr. Flores was sick and asked for leave these two days. He didn’t come to the company.”
“I got it. You can leave now. Go and find out what’s going on with the police. Inform me immediately
if there’s any news.”
“Yes.”
Ingrid was uneasy. She vaguely felt that this matter was strange. It was just that something was wrong, but she did not know what exactly the truth was.
With Vicente’s stupidity, he shouldn’t have thought too much, and with his impulsive personality, he shouldn’t have confessed so quickly.
After thinking about it, Ingrid picked up her phone and called Shawn. “Dad?”
“Are you happy?” Shawn was silent for a moment, then continued to speak with sarcasm.
Ingrid was speechless.
“Your brother is going to jail. He admitted everything. Are you happy? Are you satisfied? Congratulations, Ms. Petersen!” he said word by word and hung up the phone.
Shawn was practically gnashing his teeth. It could be heard that he hated her to the bones.
Ingrid had been so busy these past few days that she did not care too much about where her father. had gone. She wanted to care about him, but it seemed that he was unwilling to say another word to
her.
But from the tone of his voice, it didn’t seem like Shawn was plotting something with Vicente. The grief and sadness in his voice could be heard. Could it be that even he didn’t know?
Ingrid then made another call to Ladarius. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Ladarius said with a nasal voice, “Hello?”
“Why haven’t you come to the company these two days? Do you know that there are many things in the company recently? Do you want to be promoted?” Ingrid said in a bad mood.
“I’m sick. I took a leave of absence and went through the normal process. You can’t just let a sick person go to work, can you?” Ladarius sniffed and said in a low and muffled voice, followed by the sound of nose blowing.
