Chapter 79


    Chapter 79 Inquiring about the past


    Uncle Marcus nodded, pulled out his phone, and started searching.


    He then handed the phone to me. As I looked at the man in the photo, I was left speechless with


    surprise!


    It was Alex-he was involved with Bt’s lover?


    This was truly unexpected.


    “Does Ms. Scott recognize this man?” Marcus noticed my furrowed brow as I stared at the phone and


    asked.


    I nodded, looking at him, and said, “Marcus, have you reported this to the police yet?”


    He shook his head. “I haven’t yet. I was nning to discuss it with you first, then get in touch with the


    police.”


    I hummed in agreement, returning the phone to Marcus. “No need to worry too much about this side for


    now, Marcus. Can you find me a few skilled and trustworthy people?” I asked. Marcus looked confused.


    “What are you nning, Ms. Scott?”


    I gave him a light smile. There was no need to hide anything. “I need them for a little trip to Macamer.


    We’re going to kidnap someone.”

    “Huh?” Marcus was taken aback, not quite catching on immediately.


    I did not borate further, I just told him to get ready. As Marcus left, Maxwell turned to me, his


    eyebrows knitted together. “Is this your grand n for Macamer?”


    “Yes!” I nodded. “Just Caleb and Bt. Plus, we can make use of the police in Macamer.”


    Maxwell scoffed, giving me a look of disbelief. “Yvette, you’re being naive. Caleb and Bt must have


    at least three to five hundred million dors by now. They’re rich, and rich people always have skilled


    b*dyguards. You think you can just take a few goons over there and kidnap them? That’s naive.”


    His words struck a chord. Of course, Caleb and Bt had made off with arge chunk of the Scott


    Corporation’s assets. With that much money, they would probably want to wrap themselves in a


    diamond shield for protection.


    Think about it. If an ordinary person suddenly had three to five million in assets, what would they be


    thinking? They would probably be dreaming of a carefree life with all that money, while also worrying


    about keeping themselves and their newfound wealth safe. No one. wants to kick the bucket before


    they have a chance to enjoy the good life.


    Seeing that I was taking his words seriously, Maxwell added, “We need to discuss this Macamer trip


    with the police and n it out carefully. Don’t do anything rash.”


    I nodded, grasping his point. The police would not turn a blind eye to the illegal funneling of funds. If we


    could join forces, it would be far better than me trying to solve this alone.


    Lost in thought, my cell phone buzzed. It was Officer Jackson’s number. Seeing it, I froze for a moment,


    then quickly picked up.


    “Ms. Scott, I apologize for the interruption,” came Officer Jackson’s voice from the other end. I knew his


    call was likely about Alex, so I quickly asked, “Officer Jackson, has there been any progress with


    Alex?”


    “Yes, indeed,” Officer Jackson began, “We’ve located the influential person behind Alex domestically.


    The department is gearing up to take action in the next few days, but I just heard that you’ve also


    unearthed new leads on your end, so I wanted to touch base with you.


    Bt’s significant other and Alex’s situation?


    As soon as Officer Jackson mentioned it, I made the connection and responded, “Yes, Scott


    Corporation’s funds have been misappropriated, and I’ve been sending people to investigate. We also


    stumbled upon the connection between Bt’s significant other and Alex.”


    “Uh huh!” Officer Jackson acknowledged, then paused before continuing, “This case involves quite a lot


    of people. Regarding your situation from five years ago, I have some questions for you, Ms. Scott. Do


    you have some time? Could I invite you for a cup of tea?”


    I was somewhat puzzled. Alex and my situation from five years ago were linked, but could Bt’s


    significant other also be tied to my past?


    Without much hesitation, I agreed.


    At the tea room just outside the police station, Officer Jackson rushed in, his hurried entrance evident.


    Upon seeing me, he removed his police cap and apologized, “The station’s been swamped. I’m sorry to


    have kept you waiting.”


    I gave a slight shake of my head, cutting straight to the chase. “Officer Jackson, have you discovered


    anything?””


    He nodded, not even pausing to take a sip of his tea. “Right now, this is just my personal spection. I


    asked you here to get your perspective on something. It’s not confirmed, so we can just chat casually.”


    I nodded, acknowledging his words with a soft grunt.


    Perhaps it was his police officer status, but despite his casual words, I could not help but feel as tense


    as when I was giving my statement years ago.


    Seeing my stern expression, he gave a small smile, not pressing the point further. He dove straight into


    the matter at hand. “Ms. Scott, could you tell me about your experience at the border that year?”
