Chapter 1648 The Mastermind
In the office, Wynter sat at Julius' desk and examined his computer. Upon discovering traces of hacking activity, she glanced up and met Julius' eyes. "You've been to the same place Ms. Keesha visited, though albeit different. You attended the auction online."Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. What do you mean I was there too?" Julius responded with aggression.
Seeing that, Wynter affirmed that Julius wasn't connected to the case. In critical situations, even the smallest reactions could reveal the truth.
Julius wasn't the one joining the live session, but someone had hacked into his computer. Who on earth could it be?
Unfortunately, Julius hadn't set up surveillance cameras in his office for privacy, which had now turned into a problem for the investigation. Wynter was left with three potential suspects who might be involved, aside from Julius himself.
"Has Fredric Monty arrived yet?" Wynter inquired her subordinate, who reported that Fredric was on his way.
Wynter nodded and gave a soft chuckle. "Aren't you close to Fredric? How can you be so calm now, knowing he's coming?"
"You've looked into me, haven't you? Fredric has indeed helped me a lot, even cleaning up after my daughter's mess. He wasn't qualified for a promotion as a director, but I gave him a chance," Julius replied.
Considering his position, Julius knew it was best to come clean in such situations. He realized that the Special Unit was investigating something else, but he never expected the leader would be someone so young.
"Is that all you know?" Wynter asked casually.
Taking a deep breath, Julius continued, "There's a town development project, but I'm not clear about the details. I figured Fredric proposed it to rack up his achievements.
"A few property developers had shown interest, but nothing came of it. Believe it or not, I honestly don't have much of a connection with him."
Wynter hummed and raised a brow. "Based on his portfolio and the gratitude he's shown you over the years, you don't seem like strangers at all. Rather, he's more like your protégé."
"Cut it out already! Didn't my dad say he's not friends with that lapdog? Dad would never accept Fredric, not after he shared meals with Randell!" Keesha snapped in annoyance. She kept scratching her cuffed hands, as though she had relapsed into her drug habits.
Wynter's gaze flickered, and she asked, "And who is this 'Randell' you speak of?"
"The loser who never wins against my Dad! Hey, Dad, can you give me some of it? Dad! Tell them to uncuff me at once!" Keesha cackled with laughter as she shook uncontrollably.
At that point, Julius had been drained and disheartened. Noting Keesha's antics, he no longer hid any secrets and disclosed everything about Judah to Wynter.
After hearing him out, Wynter rose from the seat and ordered, "Hand them over to Mr. Keller."
In an instant, Julius raised his head in shock.
Wynter continued coldly, "For someone who's retiring soon, you have the nerve to deceive the public. Before Lucas even arrived, you tried to scheme against him and refused to comply with the transfer.
"Not only did you forget who granted you the authority, but you also fantasized about ruling like a king. Well, I'll make your dream come true by sending you to prison."
Julius trembled fearfully. His defiance of the higher-ups and schemes against Lucas was a greater offense than conniving in Keesha's crimes. It was all over for him now.
