Chapter 372 Uncovering My Wife's Secrets
- It was not until he saw the video of him depositing the money with Owen that he knew that he could not deny it. So, he started to make up a story. He said he and Owen were friends. He happened to have some money, so he had proposed to Owen to jointly open a drugstore. The money he gave Owen was the start-up capital. In order to make his words sound more convincing, Craig even painted a vivid picture of the current landscape of traditional medicine with an unceasing flow of words. He said animatedly, "Traditional medicine is gaining more popularity. The drugstores selling traditional medicine hardly had any business in the past. But now, those stores are packed with customers. People are paying more attention to their health. "In the past, when they have a nodule or something like that, they would undergo surgery to remove it. Now, more people trust traditional medicine. They will buy traditional medicine to treat nodules."
- Craig was rattling on it, but little did he know that the police only listened to the evidence. It was useless no matter what he said. The police just showed him the evidence that Michelle, Jared's wife, had withdrawn 400 thousand dollars with him one day before earlier. The police officer who took Craig's statement asked, "What else do you want to say?" Craig rolled his eyes and continued to fabricate stories. He said Michelle was also optimistic about the current traditional medicine market, so she wanted to invest some money and become a shareholder. "The dignified Mrs. Blake of Blake Corporation wants to invest 400 thousand dollars in traditional medicine simply because she's optimistic about the market?" the police officer asked. Craig tried to cover up his lies, "That's right. Mrs. Blake probably just wants to give it a try first and she will invest more money in the future if everything goes well." The police pulled out Craig's contact list and questioned him sternly, "You and Owen are friends, but you don't even have his Whatsapp?"
- Craig's pupils constricted in panic. He immediately explained, "We always call each other. That's why I didn't add him on Whatsapp." "How long have you been contacting each other by phone? Only four days?" the police officer asked solemnly again. Craig's mind was in a tumult as he continued to spin his stories. "We're... Police Officer, here is the thing. Owen and I haven't known each other for long, but we hit it off right away, I met him half a year ago when I went to the drugstore to buy medicine. Every time I went there, we would Chat a little. Later on, we became closer and thought that we could open a drugstore together." "Owen said you only met each other four days. ago." The police officer's tone of voice became more serious. "Craig, this is the police station. Every word you say can be used as evidence in court. I hope you won't lie. Lying is extremely disadvantageous to your defense or sentencing." Craig grew more panicky when he heard the word sentencing. The police continued to pressure him. "Owen has confessed that you have only known each other for four days. You gave him the money and told him to change the medicinal ingredients on Madam Blake's prescription." Craig became dejected when he knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.
