Chapter 1644 Scapegoat
Julius couldn't afford to worry about anything else and was determined to avoid being branded as a traitor. He instantly severed all ties with Keesha.
"I have no daughter like you! What on earth were you doing out there? How could you attend an organ auction? Don't you know that's illegal?"
Julius slapped Keesha hard across the face again. She fell to the ground, overwhelmed by terror she had never known before. As she looked at Julius fearfully, she felt as though the world had crumbled around her.
Keesha had always believed that the entire province was under the Nord family's control, with Julius revered by all. Even if he was retired, his connections and influence would remain unshaken. However, all was gone now.
When the other officials learned of Julius' predicament, whispers filled the air. Everyone knew it was hardly the right time for an investigation, yet the officers arrived with a familiar face.
Having encountered Keesha before, the officials were aware of her character. It was no surprise that Julius would come under suspicion.
"Does that mean they've found the felon?" someone inquired.
"I was so wrong about Mr. Nord. Does this clear us of any suspicion?" another chimed in.
Judah silently listened to the conversation while sipping his coffee. A smirk played on his lips, hinting at a silent triumph or delight.
His subtle smugness went unnoticed, as everyone had been convinced Julius was the felon. Otherwise, the Special Unit wouldn't have gone straight for him. Considering Keesha's misdeeds, it seemed likely that Julius was just as guilty.
Glancing at the phone he had hidden, Judah was pleased to see that Julius served as the perfect distraction. No one would be looking his way, and the Special Unit wouldn't turn their investigation toward him.
Everyone was aware of his rivalry with Julius. The two were vying for the top, yet they never anticipated the higher -ups would bring in an outsider for the role. Regardless, Judah knew he would remain safe as long as Julius was pinned guilty.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
With that in mind, Judah adjusted his glasses. He had heard about the Special Unit's prowess, with claims that the organization had the right strategy in place and could uncover anything. Despite his initial concerns, he found that the Special Unit had been misled by a simple ruse.
Judah was fully assured that no one would ever suspect or investigate him, especially in Julius' case. No one would realize that he had pulled some strings.
In the office, Wynter walked past Keesha and stood in front of Julius. "You mentioned you weren't aware of the organ auction, right?"
Julius hurriedly nodded at her words, "I would've stopped her if I'd known. How could I possibly let her be involved in murder, even indirectly?"
"Let me remind you that every dirty deed you cover up for your daughter can be traced. I'm sure you're well aware of what the Special Unit is capable of. There's no evidence or clues we can't recover," Wynter continued as she approached Julius.
Her gaze briefly flickered to the computer on his desk, though her focus remained fixed on him.
"You understand how deep the consequences are for treason. I don't want to waste any more time. If you're smart, you'd better come clean now. Otherwise, you'll end up labeled as a traitor."
Wynter couldn't help feeling something was amiss. Wolf had pinpointed the exact location, yet there was nothing
to be found.
