101 Interrogation

In order to prepare for the engagement banquet that was going to take place in a few days, there were many people coming in and out of the Anderson family to deliver goods these days, so someone had taken advantage of the loophole and sneaked in.

In addition, Joline had been worried that there would be a lack of people to welcome the new couple, so she added a new batch of people. Therefore, it was hard to notice that Ellen was walking in the villa with an unfamiliar face and a maid’s uniform.

Harriman’s father used to work for the Anderson family, so Joline didn’t doubt his loyalty. Plus, Harriman had always done things properly, so Joline didn’t blame him even though she was a little unhappy.

“First, search every corner of the house. Make sure to patch up all the loopholes. Then, check what’s going on with the security system. How did it let such a little rat in so easily?”

At the same time, Edwin’s men also found some clues from Ellen.

“Are you sure it’s their family?” Edwin had just sparred with George for more than ten minutes, so his face was covered in a thin layer of sweat. When he heard the report from his subordinate, his eyes sank.

“This woman’s mouth is pretty tight, but her body doesn’t lie.” The Anderson family had their own interrogation methods, so even though Ellen wouldn’t give up, they still got a lot of useful information.

“I saw a covered tattoo on the inside of her wrist. Although most of it was covered, the tattoo artist had already compared the pictures and could vaguely tell what the logo looked like before it was covered. Unfortunately, the numbers were covered too thoroughly, so he couldn’t tell.” He took out a picture and showed it to Edwin. “The pattern on it was a reconstruction of the woman’s tattoo.”

Edwin took a look at it. Although it wasn’t drawn accurately enough, he could still recognize it at first glance. It was the family emblem of the Smith family.

The Smith’s house was also the Old Madam’s maiden home.

“Continue the interrogation, just don’t kill her. Send someone to investigate again and see if you can find out her social connections and who she has been in contact with recently.” Then, he went to Joline with the blueprint.

After reading it, Joline slammed the table in anger. “It must be that idiot, Third Brother!”

Edwin saw that she was so angry that her face had changed. He quickly helped her to sit down. “This matter has not been concluded yet. It’s just a guess. We’re still interrogating her.”

He sounded like he was comforting her, but Joline could read between the lines. She grabbed his hand and asked, “You suspect that it’s not Third Brother’s doing, but someone else in the Smith family?”

“I just feel that this method of doing things doesn’t seem like what Third Uncle would do.”

According to Caroline, the maid called Ellen was a very smart woman. She was able to figure out the situation in Anderson’s house in a short time after she snuck into the house. She was even able to tell them everything, which meant that she was very smart. If the person she met today wasn’t Caroline but another weak woman, she would have achieved her goal.

To be honest, it wasn’t that Edwin looked down on his Third Uncle, but he really didn’t have the ability to cultivate such a talent, so he was more inclined to believe that it was someone else in the Smith family who had more power, such as his First Uncle or his Second Uncle.

However, Joline had a good relationship with these two, so she didn’t want to easily believe that her brothers, who had always doted on her, would betray her.

Edwin was aware of this, so he didn’t say it out loud.

Joline looked at the side of Edwin’s cold and arrogant face. She patted his arm and said, “Edwin, you don’t have to worry about my thoughts. Just do what you have to do.”

That being said, after Edwin left, Joline couldn’t help but call her brother.

“Joseph, are you alright?” At this moment, Joline’s voice was no longer strange. “Long time no see.”

Joseph’s muffled voice came from the other end. “Very good, my sister. Although we only met once two weeks ago, you’re right. It’s been a long time, Joline.”

Joline chuckled. “I’m relieved to hear that you’re still so long-winded.”

“Don’t worry. Although I’m four or five years older than you, I firmly believe that I won’t lose to you when we go hunting next month.” Joseph smiled proudly and asked, “Alright, back to the topic. What do you want from me?”

“It’s about the engagement party,” Joline replied.

When Joseph heard this, he immediately became anxious. “You’ve encountered a problem? Do you need me to help you find a good helper?”
