Chapter 2160Could it be that someone else had died in this case? There's someone else named Lucy who died as
well? Is Lucy a foreigner as well? It's likely that Zeke and Rhett killed Lucy together. However, the two
then fought with each other about Lucy's matter. Thus, Zeke killed Rhett. This is the most plausible
reason.
Bertram could feel an oncoming headache at that thought. It never rains but it pours.
He then swiftly told his subordinates, “Find out who Ms. Lucy is. Also, where is Hope Tower? Look into
the places nearby and find out if you can find any more clues.”
His subordinates nodded. “Understood.”
Turning back to Eric and the others, Bertram said, “Stay calm when you head out later. Try to keep a
neutral mood. I'm afraid that you might agitate the killer into attacking you out of desperation.”
“Got it!”
Eric and the others nodded fervently.
Bertram then recomposed himself before walking out of his office and returning to his seat opposite
Zeke. Then, as if nothing had happened, he continued taking Zeke's statement.
His priority at that moment was to make Zeke stay until his subordinates came back to report to him.
If they really found Lucy's body near Hope Tower, then it was highly likely that Zeke was the one whomurdered two people.
Bertram was going to be in deep trouble, for two foreigners had died in his territory.
This da*n kid. I'll have to teach him a lesson once he's charged.
The taking of Zeke's statement lasted around half an hour. Once Bertram was done with asking him the
important questions, he began asking the trivial ones.
In short, he was trying to make Zeke stay.
However, Zeke realized that he was trying to buy time, so he started feeling impatient. Still, he
managed to hold himself back.
He wanted to see for himself what Bertram was trying to do.
A while later, Bertram's subordinate finally called.
Bertram let out a sigh of relief. If his subordinate did not call him soon, he would really have run out of
questions to ask Zeke.
The moment his phone rang, Bertram gave Zeke an apologetic smile and said, “My apologies, Mr.
Williams. I need to pick up this call. Please give me a second.”
“Okay.” noveldramaZeke nodded.
After standing up, he accepted the call and said, “What's the matter? Speak.”
As he spoke, he even “nonchalantly” paced in the room.
His subordinate answered, “Sir, we've done as you instructed. Indeed, we've found a body near Hope
Tower. Our initial investigations have told us that the body should belong to Ms. Lucy of Yartran.”
Despite the shock that overwhelmed Bertram, to not alert Zeke to his findings, he made sure to keep a
neutral look on his face.
“Okay, I got it. Anything else?” he said as he entered his office.
His subordinate continued, “Also, Hope Tower is rented by Linton Group, and Zeke Williams is
someone from Linton Group! Furthermore, Mr. Sheldon Guerrero of Intercontinental Group has
informed us about how Zeke and Rhett had some conflicts with Lucy.”
D*mn it!
Bertram clenched his fists.
Everything was pointing toward how Zeke was the murderer.
Moreover, he had taken two lives!
Bertram then instructed, “Barricade the scene, and don't let anyone destroy the scene.” “Understood!”
After the call ended, Bertram took a deep breath to regain his composure.
Just as he was about to head out, he suddenly halted in his tracks. In the next second, he took out his
gun and loaded it before opening the door.
At that moment, Zeke was glaring at Eric and the others.
Even a fool would be able to figure out that they were Sheldon's men.
Still, Zeke did not know what Sheldon had instructed them to say about him.
Meanwhile, Eric and the others were watching Zeke with taunting looks. They were not afraid of Zeke
at all.
At that, Zeke sneered inwardly. “Once you find out how powerful I am, you'll realize how stupid you
are.”
