Chapter 644 Scapegoating
Chapter 644 Scapegoating
Austin wanted to throw mud at Ayan and mislead the public into getting justice for him, so his schedule
was almost transparent to the media. He was just afraid that others could not find him, and he revealed
his whereabouts without reservation.
In less than half an hour, arge group of media came to the hotel he was staying in, waiting
downstairs.
He thought it was his way that had worked, and he thought of all the wording and reasons and excuses
to mislead everyone.
But before he came out of the hotel, he heard a question from the crowd: "Excuse me, Mr. Norman.
You said that your wife Cora was also in the vi where the fire broke out. Why didn''t you find her in
advance if you knew she was there? Or did you just want to get rid of your wife, who had disgraced
you, and ignite the fire on purpose?"
These queries immediately stiffened Austin''s face. It waspletely different from what he envisioned.
He grimaced, swept a nce at Jeremiah at his side, lowered his voice and asked, "What''s it?"
Jeremiah was also unaware of the situation and wanted to speak out in defense, but was interrupted by
one question after another from the media before he had a chance to speak.
Everyone was questioning Austin: "Please tell us if you had anything to do with the fire or not."
"It''s been a day since the fire. Why didn''t you call the police when you knew your wife Cora was also
inside the vi?"
"Why do you know something the police don''t even know?"
One question after another left Austin at a loss as to how to respond.
He stood there frozen for a while without any reaction. The media''s live camera was also always
focused on him. His appearance naturally and immediately set off a lot of storms on the Inte.
Netizens also questioned him.
"Austin is hiding something, isn''t he?"
"Why don''t you dare to retort? It''s because they asked to the point, right?"
"Please ask the police to strictly investigate this man. I think he is not a good person. He must be
thoroughly investigated. We can not let him go."
"I''ll trade my five years of youth for a truth!"
"Seconded!!!"
"..."
The constant questioning made Austin''s murder of his wife top the hot search straight away, and
Preston was immediately aware of the news.
Secretary Sean asked, "Mr. Walker, will Austin implicate us now that he is in the limelight of the entire
"No, even his secretary does not know too much about our connections. Even if we are implicated,
people will just think we are wrongly used. You contact Austin anonymously and ask him find a way
to get out of it, otherwise Norman Group will also be involved."
Preston swept a faint nce at the online message and then turned off his phone. He closed his eyes
and his face shed with fatigue.
Austin became the target of public criticism. The development of things could not be natural. There
must be someone behind the maniption.
Who is this person?
Preston knew it by heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly, the bottom of his eyes slipping through a wry
coldness.
On Austin''s side, he finally managed to get away from the hotel gate, but there were still stubborn
reporters who had been chasing his car trying to get first-hand news.
Austin urged Jeremiah to drive faster while his phone rang at that moment.
Too many callsing in, he had to turn off his work-specific cell phone. And now it was a private
numbernot known by many people.
He asked, in a somewhat hurry tone, "Who is it?"
The other side did not reveal its identity, but only said lightly; "Mr. Norman, if you get away from this
matter, then find a scapegoat, otherwise even the Norman Group will be implicated."
After saying this, and not waiting for Austin to respond, the other side hung up.
Austin''s face darkened, and for a long time he did not speak. After a few seconds, he opened his
mouth and said, "Go to the police station."
Jeremiah nodded and drove straight to the police station.
Because Austin had previously called the police to look for Cora, he needed the police to testify that he
had been looking for his wife for a long time.
At the same time, Ayan asked Jeremiah to find a scapegoat behind everyone''s back, a gambler, a
gambler in debt with no future. He would confess that he was paid to spread misleading information
that Cora was in the vi where Ayan had a fire.
The gambler took the money and did as he was told.
Austin also entrusted the police with the search for Cora, and then found an excuse to leave Hance
City and go back to Campole.
Austin left the next afternoon, and he left as if someone was chasing behind him in a hurry.
When Kian told Ayan about the incident and Austin''s whereabouts, Rex and the others were also there

and couldn''t help butugh after hearing this: "This Austin is really not half as bold as he should be, so
he''s scared shitless over such a small matter?"
"Hahaha."
Theyughed out loud.
Derek teased: "With such a little courage, he also dared to provoke Ayan? I think it is better for him to
go back to Campole and not show up again in two years."
"Ayan, look at you, nothing has been done, but you have scared people like this. You are still
responsible if he wets his pants!"
"Heh!" Ayan hooked his lips and smiled, the expression on his face was very indifferent: "It doesn''t
matter if his guts are broken or not, what matters is that the mastermind behind him doesn''t have a
head start."
"The mastermind behind it? Who''s it?" Rex asked curiously.
Ayan did not answer, just lifted his watch to look at the time, and then said indifferently: "Okay, after two
days of ying cardsand having fun, everyone shall be back to thepany!"
It was 3:00 p. m. Since yesterday morning, they had been ying cards, and they rested in a nearby
hotel at night. Then they started again during the day, as if it had been years without seeing each other,
then when they met each other, they didn''t let go of a second.
Now the crowd was ying with great enthusiasm. Ayan saying to stop ying immediately received a
lot ofpaints and usations.
"Ayan, that''s a bit unfair of you!"
"Ayan, it''s not too early, it''s better to go to the office tomorrow!"
"Ayan..."
"I''m not like you guys." He interrupted and stood up, condescendingly sweeping the other three. He
looked at Camille sitting aside and smiled: "I''m a family man. I have to support my wife and child.
You''re still single. No pressure on you."
"You go. We don''t want to be jealous."
"..."
They just wanted to kick him out.
Ayan didn''t care, just looked down at Camille and said, "You y with them, I''ll take you backter
when Ie for dinner!"
He insisted on leaving probably because something was going on, so Camille didn''t say anything, just
lowered her eyes and nodded as an agreement.
After Ayan left, the other three did not continue, but drank tea and chatted, waiting for dinner, which
they would force Ayan to pay for.
Sienna and Camille went to one side and sat down. Sienna joked, "You''re a good wife now, listening to
everything Mr. Simpson says!"
Camille subconsciously froze, the expression on her face slightly stiff. She just faintly nced at
Sienna and did not speak. In her heart, she also could not help but repeat, she really listen to Ayan in
everything?
When Sienna saw that she was silent, sheughed low, "Why don''t you say anything? What are you
thinking about?"
Camille''s eyes paused slightly, "No."
"You looked like having a lot of things on mind."
With a silent sigh, her eyes met Sienna''s and asked, "Do you think Ayan and I are getting along in a
very abnormal way right now?"
"Abnormal? I think it''s quite normal. It''s like a normal couple, isn''t it? You guys used to be the ones who
weren''t normal."
"Is that so?"
But aren''t they divorced?
They don''t look like a couple before the divorce, but after the divorce, then they do. Isn''t that ridiculous?
