The fireworks in Aeston lasted for quite a while, and countless people came out of their homes. To watch this magnificent fireworks display. "I haven’t heard about any fireworks lately. What event is this?" "I don’t know either. I specifically searched a few days ago. Didn’t we just have a festival not long ago? I looked at nearby schedules and there were no activities." "So what’s going on here?" "It’s probably some big shot trying to please his girlfriend with fireworks. A year ago, when Julian Lawson and Serena Sterling got married, they also set off fireworks across the city." "True, I remember it. The whole city was filled, and it lasted for a long time. Julian Lawson is the only one wealthy enough to burn money like that for fun." "It’s a pity, though. They got married just a year ago, and Julian Lawson spends all his time following Vera Hansen around." "Don’t say that. Vera Hansen is a pitiable person too." Vera Hansen certainly saw the fireworks too. The day Julian Lawson and Serena Sterling came out of the civil affairs bureau, Julian showed her the divorce receipt. She knew the timing. So recently, she’s been very restrained, not daring to provoke Serena Sterling. Afraid that Serena might not agree to the divorce. Vera Hansen paced up and down her house holding her phone. Why is there still no news? She’s already arranged for someone to collect the five million, but the follow-up... It absolutely cannot fall through. If Serena finds out about those things and goes to Julian with them, what if the divorce doesn’t go through? After all, once the 30-day cooling-off period is over, they have another 30 days to collect the paperwork. Thinking this, Vera couldn’t help but call the person again. Before long, they picked up. "How’s it going?" Vera asked in a low voice. "Working on it," the deep male voice replied. "Remember to check their cloud storage and such. If they’ve set up any timed messages, it won’t be good." Vera whispered. "Got it," the deep male voice answered. "Where are you now? Make sure to ask clearly, understand?" Vera urged. "Suburbs." As the man spoke, suddenly there was a sound of something heavy hitting the ground. "Damn it!" The deep male voice cursed, then hung up. Elsewhere, in the suburbs, Bianca Lynch hummed a song while heading to the old Lynch family home there. She had some good wine hidden in the cellar of the old house. She planned to grab it quickly so they could celebrate properly once Serena got the divorce certificate the next day! Just as she was humming and turning onto a small path, she suddenly heard a loud "bang" crash ahead! She rounded a big bend and suddenly saw a black car not far ahead. The black car was speeding forward without slowing down. It seemed to have hit something in front and sent it flying! "Bang, bang, bang..." The thing rolled over a few times up ahead, looking like... a person! Then, the car did not slow down, running over it again! This was intentional! "Ah!" Check latest chapters at novel-fire.net Bianca Lynch screamed. There was no time to think; she parked by the roadside with emergency signals. Seeing that large vehicle had fled the scene, she immediately called 110 and 120. Ethan Lynch and Julian Lawson arrived at the police precinct together. They were about to head to Aeston First Hospital when Ethan’s phone rang, and he heard Bianca Lynch crying, saying she had witnessed someone hit a person with a car and asked him to pick her up at the precinct. It was the suburban precinct. Julian Lawson, sitting beside him, overheard. So he offered Ethan a ride in his car, suggesting they drop him off at his residence along the way. But ultimately decided to go along to see if he could help. They dropped off the female driver midway and arrived at the suburban precinct with Secretary Chaucer. Bianca Lynch was still giving her statement. Although she was a doctor and often saw blood, this was her first time witnessing a murder scene. Though she didn’t know if the person hit then run over had died or not. She had performed some emergency measures, but 120 took the person away later, and the specifics were unknown. She was much calmer now than when she called Ethan Lynch. Female officer Chloe Langley happened to see Julian Lawson. She had been at the Eastown Police Precinct sorting materials and planned to summon Julian Lawson the next day for questioning, but then received a call about a case in the suburbs. They had retrieved nearby surveillance and saw the driver. Even though the driver was disguised, his body shape resembled the person from Serena’s previous case. Because it was someone from the Eastown Police Precinct back then, she only glimpsed it but had some impression, so they sent the footage to Chloe Langley, asking her to come over. She just checked it, couldn’t be 100% sure, but it looked very similar. Upon exiting, she saw Julian Lawson. Why was he there? She immediately called out to Julian Lawson. "Julian Lawson!" Chloe Langley approached quickly. Julian Lawson felt strange; he didn’t seem to know this female officer. "Officer, is there an issue?" Julian Lawson asked. Ethan Lynch looked over curiously too. "Julian Lawson, you’re Serena’s husband, right?" Chloe Langley showed her badge and asked. Julian Lawson nodded. "About the car accident involving your wife Serena..." Once Chloe Langley completed the paperwork and sat Julian Lawson down, he understood what had happened. Secretary Chaucer followed along, talking about waiting for the lawyer. But Julian Lawson went in upon hearing about Serena’s car accident. Julian suddenly had a feeling. It seemed he was about to learn some truths. The police asked many questions. Where was he that night? He said he was at Lawson Tower. He said Vera Hansen was there. Specific time and place. He answered them all. Yet, his mind was filled with—so that night, she really had a car accident. "We’ve noticed that you’re currently in the divorce cooling-off period with Serena..." This was a legitimate suspicion of him hiring someone for murder. "We’re collecting the divorce certificate tomorrow," Julian Lawson said. The police exchanged looks and nodded. Actually, after thorough investigations, their suspicions about Julian Lawson had somewhat reduced. Instead, they’ve shifted more focus onto another person. "Why didn’t you answer all those calls from your wife Serena that night?" Chloe Langley continued questioning. "I..." Julian Lawson didn’t know what to say. At the time, he received Serena’s calls but thought she was throwing a tantrum, so he hung up. Later she called again, but he ignored it with "do not disturb." The two police officers exchanged looks again. Prompting him to answer. Julian Lawson answered many questions, and the police asked many. About various subjects, they inquired a lot. But his mind was a jumbled mess.
