Chapter 640
Driving for a while, Nicolas asked, “Caitlyn’s dead, and Letti isn’t Shawn’s daughter anymore. What’s the point in digging all this up?”
Celeste doesn’t seem to care about the Campbell family’s fortune. After all, she doesn’t want Liam’s money, so why would she be interested in Campbell’s dough? She’s not Shawn’s daughter anymore, which is excellent. Cut the ties cleanly, right? Why get all tangled up with the Campbell family again?
Trisha said, “Just because someone’s dead, we should let bygones be bygones? Those two cheating bastards plotted together and caused Caitlyn’s car accident She ended up as a vegetable, lying in bed for seven years. Now she’s dead, why should they get off scot–free? Is that fair?
Nicolas was taken aback, “You’re saying Shawn caused Caitlyn’s accident?”
“What else could it be? Caitlyn was about to kick Shawn out. Then she had an accident and lost consciousness Who do you think benefits the most? Just look at that, Shawn’s a prime suspect”
“Did you report it to the police?”
“Letti consulted a friend in the police department. The car involved in the accident was scrapped years ago It’s nearly impossible to find direct evidence to mopen the case. The detective Letti hired advised us to try and break up Shawn and Helenis relationship if their relationship falls apart, useful information might come Out”
Trisha paused. “Don’t say this to anyone, or I’ll shut you up for good!”
Nicolas glanced at her, “Relax, I’m tight–lipped”
After dropping Trisha off at her office, Nicolas called Liam.
“Got an opportunity to impress your ex wife, you game?”
Liam had just finished a meeting Holding the phone, he was walking and talking, “Shoot”
Nicolas smirked, “Your ex suspects her mom’s car accident years ago was orchestrated by Shawn and his mistress. If you can get to the bottom of this, it’ll improve her impression of you”
He paused, then added. “Heads up, the mistress is keeping a boy toy. You can start there”
After hanging up. Nicolas hummed a tune on his way home
Now he had someone to dig up the dirt, and he didn’t have to spend a dime. And he managed to trick a little cook into coming back. How clever was he?
Back in his office, Liam delegated the task
Then he asked, “Has Shawn lost all his investment in Smart Chips yet?”
Owen replied, “Not yet, but he has lost more than half. He sold half of it this afternoon at a loss, and he’s watching the rest.”
Liam didn’t even look up, “Keep pushing, if he doesn’t get out, he’ll lose it all.”
They had been setting up this trap for a while, and it was finally time to close in
Owen sighed He had to admit Mr. Reed had a keen insight into human nature.
Their scheme was a bit hasty and not very sophisticated Shawn could have made a fortune if he had been cautious and cashed out when he made a profit.
But the man was too greedy and a newbie to stocks Liam was prepared, he was bound to fall for
