The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 810 Silenced

Cedrick lowered his gaze, deep in thought. I see… Joe went through all the trouble just to make me panic, to instill fear in me, and to torment my psyche. The tragic annihilation of the Cloud family may not be related to my grudges with Joe, but rather due to other reasons.

After connecting the dots, Cedrick drove straight to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, picked up Swain, and prepared to personally interrogate Joe.

When Joe was brought out again, he smiled oddly

Upon seeing Cedrick, he mocked, “How does it feel, Mr. Jenson, to be deceived? Is it enjoyable? Is it fun?”

Cedrick had no mood to play riddles with him. He just said indifferently. “Did you do that to the Cloud family?

This time around, Joe didn’t deny it. Instead, he readily admitted, “Yes. I did it. Is there a problem?”

“What’s your motive? Nearly a hundred people from the Cloud family have died by your hand. You’ve truly lost all sense of humanity.”

Cedrick’s voice gradually deepened. Although he had no particular connection with the Cloud family, and he didn’t consider himself a good person, the thought of an innocent family, old and young, all perishing without exception, was excessively cruel.

Joe shrugged nonchalantly. “If it’s about silencing someone, then so be it. What’s the need for a motive? I. Joe, never need a motive to do anything. Lennon had learned something he shouldn’t have. To avoid future troubles, I had no choice but to wipe them out.”

The lives of hundreds of people were spoken of so casually by Joe as if he had just slaughtered a bunch of animals. There also wasn’t a trace of remorse on his face.

“Boss.” Swain’s voice sounded in Cedrick’s ear. “After the investigation, it’s confirmed that Lennon did receive a threatening call before the incident. We have retrieved the call recording and, by reconstructing the voice within, we can confirm that the person threatening Lennon was indeed Joe.”

“Mr. Jenson.”

The door to Joe’s interrogation room swung open, and the agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation walked in. Cedrick nodded at the newcomers.

One of them opened the notebook in his hand and said, “Mr. Jenson, last night, we captured one of Joe’s subordinates, who was indeed involved in the Cloud family tragedy. After the interrogation, it was revealed that Joe was the mastermind behind this incident. The DNA found at the scene matches Joe’s. The Prosecutor’s Office has already granted the authority, all evidence has been submitted to the Judicial Bureau. The final sentence will be determined once the Judicial Bureau reviews and finds no errors.”

Joe laughed maniacally, his eyes full of wickedness. “Why bother with a trial? Aren’t you, Mr. Jenson, extraordinarily capable? If you’re so competent, just sentence me to death right now.”

As he spoke, Joe struggled to rise from the interrogation chair.

him, and warned, “Joe, you’re on the brink of death. You’d better behave yourself!”
