The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1653

As Fredric was escorted in, he doubted that Lucas would discover Judah's involvement. Throughout the years, he had never publicly interacted with Judah. Instead, Julius seemed more like the mastermind pulling the strings.

On top of that, it had been well known that Fredric shared a close relationship with Julius and was often seen as his protégé.

With that in mind, Fredric regained his composure. He believed the Special Unit had linked him to Julius' investigation simply because Keesha had attended the auction. Even so, they had no solid evidence that tied him to the crime.

Fredric suspected that the Special Unit was attempting to trick him with a standard ruse. But given his own background in the political field, he wasn't one to be fooled. That was why he had remained calm and composed throughout the entire ordeal.

Upon his arrival, he unhesitatingly asserted his innocence. "I believe there's been a misunderstanding. I'll fully cooperate with the investigation, but I just hope you'll clear my name."

The officer who received him, a member of the Special Unit, didn't bother with the pleasantries. Instead, they simply gave him a silent look.

However, Fredric took their silence as a validation of his assumptions. Just before he entered, he caught a glimpse of Julius being escorted into a car.

Everything clicked into place, and now was the time to set Judah's escape plan in motion.

As long as Julius took the full blame, Lucas would settle the case accordingly and leave the truth buried. Besides, no one could figure out their true plans. Even Judah, involved in their scheme, wouldn't suspect a thing.

Feeling at ease, Fredric took a leisurely sip of his drink. However, he instantly froze when he saw Wynter walking into the room.

However, Wynter stripped away his disguise with a few sharp words. "It seems what you asked of Edison didn't quite work out. This isn't like you, Mr. Monty.

"You worked your way up from a humble director, so you should've known better than to underestimate someone from a small place. You schemed against me without even bothering to dig into my background. Have you figured out where you want to be locked up, Mr. Monty?"

Despite cold sweats beading on his forehead, Fredric stubbornly refuted, "This is the provincial department. I request to be interrogated by a professional."

Wynter stopped twirling her pen and gazed up at the surveillance camera. "Well then, let's show you some professionalism."

The window creaked open, revealing an impatient Judah on the other side.
