    Chapter 552 Being Watched Covertly


    Yeates and Saxton were truly two extremes, but they both perfectly confirmed the saying, “You reap


    what you sow.”


    After a few days, Charlotte and Joe arrived at the police station together.


    ording to Yeates’s statement, the man who hade to bribe her was an average-looking guy. He


    seemed to be


    taking orders from someone else, frequently exchanging messages with others as if seeking


    someone’s opinion.


    The police decided to have Yeates attempt to contact that man, so they informed Charlotte and Joe to


    come along. If they


    could apprehend that man, they could also determine whether he had any conflicts with them.


    Charlotte and Joe went willingly.


    In just a few days, Yeates had be noticeably worn out.


    Upon seeing Charlotte, she immediately grew excited. “Charlotte! Please save me! I’m willing to


    be a key witness to


    help you find the real mastermind behind this! I beg you, I can’t afford to have a criminal record!”


    Charlotte looked at her expressionlessly. “If that’s the case, why did you still let yourself be bribed?”


    Yeates was momentarily speechless. Suddenly, she red at Charlotte with a fierce intensity. “People


    like you, born with


    everything handed to you, what do you understand? You didn’t even have to do anything, yet you


    gained the favor of


    Gideon. And me? I’ve been pursuing him for three years, but he wouldn’t even give me a proper


    nce!”


    “If it weren’t for being pushed to a corner, why would I sell your design n…”


    Joe took a step forward, blocking Yeates’s gaze.


    He lowered his gaze, a cold smirk ying on his lips. “Starting from when you devised the n toBelongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.

    Enter title…


    Yeates was about to say more, but even the police officer beside them couldn’t bear it any longer. He


    knocked on the


    table. “Do you not know why you’re here? Quickly make the call!”


    Only then did Yeates fall silent. She cast a nce of grievance at the police officer, took out her phone,


    and dialed the


    number.


    Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds…


    The call went unanswered, and the other side didn’t pick up.


    Furrows appeared on Yeates’s forehead. “This can’t be! I contacted him just a couple of days ago! Why


    would he ignore


    my calls?”


    Yeates tried several more times, but the other person never answered. Eventually, the call wouldn’t


    even go through


    anymore, suggesting that the other party had blocked her.


    The police officer frowned as well. “It seems like the other party has blocked you.”


    “But just a couple of days ago, he asked me if I could provide more substantial evidence if Saxton were


    to take legal


    action,” Yeates said incredulously. If she couldn’t establish contact with him, wouldn’t she lose the


    chance to clear her


    name?


    Charlotte’s brow furrowed. “The fact that he’s not answering your calls now could indicate he’s aware of


    your arrest. This


    suggests he might have been covertly keeping tabs on you.”


    However, Joe didn’t share the same perspective. He looked at Charlotte. “I think it’s more likely that


    he’s aware of your


    whereabouts.”


    Charlotte was a little stunned. “Me?”


    Joe’s expression grew solemn. “If that’s the case, it’s highly likely the other party knew about using


    for Yeates from


    the very first day.”


    This would also exin why the other side was cutting off Yeates’s calls decisively now.


    Even though both possibilities held weight, Charlotte instinctively agreed with Joe’s words for some


    reason.


    Perhaps someone was indeed silently observing her every move
