The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge novel Chapter 1409

Naturally, James was the first to hear about the news of the assassin’s arrest. He was actually mentally prepared for it.

But after learning that Ralph had caught the assassin, he was still up all night with worry, unable to get any sleep. His mind was racing with a million thoughts.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Iverson.” James’ trusted secretary, Zane, reassured him with a cunning smile. “You’ve already planned for this hidden threat and made sure to take steps to protect yourself. The person I found wasn’t hired by you directly, and we have him under control. His wife and children are all in our hands. Right now, he can only stay silent if he wants to protect his family.”

“No, it’s not enough to just stay silent,” James said as he massaged his aching forehead. His eyes looked tired, with a hint of malice. “He needs to push all the blame on Charles! There has to be someone behind this, or do you really think the Thompsons will let it slide so easily?”

Zane nodded repeatedly. “You’re right.”

James raised the whisky glass from the table, swishing the ice cubes around inside. A sly smile played on his lips. “Well, he used to work for Charles. He can handle cleaning up this situation. It’s kind of his final contribution to the Iverson family.”

“Mr. Iverson, there’s another issue at hand. We need to find a way to prevent the young master of the Thompson family from getting involved in this case again, so we can operate smoothly.”

James narrowed his eyes menacingly. “Hmph, I’ve already figured out a way to do that.”

The next day, the explosive news that Ralph was the son of Wyatt Thompson spread like wildfire on the internet, causing quite a stir.

[That handsome police officer turned out to be the son of the richest man in Hatchbay?! How can he be so low-key?!]

[He’s actually Bella Thompson’s brother?! Why doesn’t he look like her at all?]

The captain frowned. “What do you mean by that?”

Ralph deliberately spoke loudly for others to hear. “It’s common knowledge that the Iverson family likes to collaborate with officials and businessmen. They like to use sugar-coated bullets to bombard people. This case was originally suppressed by them. It was my sister who bravely exposed Charles’ misdeeds under tremendous pressure, which brought the case back to national attention.”

All his colleagues turned their gaze toward Ralph.

“So, now, I’m not speaking to you as a colleague, but as a victim’s family member, demanding you to supervise and ensure that Charles Iverson is punished to the fullest extent. All members of the Thompson family are waiting for your good news.”

The captain’s expression stiffened, and his legs trembled secretly under the table.

Ralph patted his colleague’s shoulder heavily and gave him a half-smile before turning around and leaving gracefully.
