A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 200

Harold had scruples about looking at Audrey.

"This ... That..."

Audrey frowned, pulling a long face, "Harold, I am your lawyer. I have to know everything about you to make the best defense. If you still tried to hide something, your case won't go smoothly. You will never win the case, and your grandma will not rest in peace. Is that what you want?"

"Well ... I didn't..."

"What the hell is inside?"

"It's all the promissory notes that I owe Andy and my diary."

Audrey frowned, "Diary? What diary?"

Harold said, "Well, a diary that wrote killing Andy never paying him back."

"Idiot!" Audrey cursed.

"I was forced into a corner. I could only ..."

"Why did you owe him money?" As Audrey Eye asked, she pondered with her hand on her forehead, "Well, you don't have to answer. You couldn't borrow it for yourself. You, an idiot, can give your life to that woman. What else can you not do?"

Harold was not the kind of person who would squander money. There was only one possibility.

Being scolded as an idiot, Harold blushed with shame.

"I ... got carried away!" Harold wanted to defend himself, "Besides, I thought that she was really in need of money, so I borrowed it from Andy!"

"Are you brainless?" Audrey was angry, "You borrowed a large sum of money without thinking of yourself? Have you ever thought that you couldn't pay him back?"

"I didn't borrow much." Harold shrank his neck, "Just ten thousand. I thought that if I worked frugally, I could pay it back in a year. But he came to me after just a month, asking for twenty thousand. Two months later, the debt became a hundred thousand!"

Andy was a loan shark, who earned money by compound interests. Harold was not rich, hating Andy gradually.

Harold's eyes darkened, "I felt something wrong then, so I buried those things in advance. Only Susie knew about this!"

That was right.

Now that the things had been dug out, it must have been Susie.

It's good to be in the right mind.

Harold carefully glanced at Audrey, "Do you think things will go well?"

Audrey rolled her eyes at him.

"If you were rational back then, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to defend you!"

Harold was silent.

Audrey looked at him, "By the way, is there any surveillance camera near Andy's home?"

Harold shook his head, "He lived in an old house. No surveillance cameras."

Audrey nodded, "No surveillance cameras. When Dick killed him, no spectators were there, right?"

"He has a henchman, but his henchman won't testify."

"A henchman? Do you know where he lives?"

"I know."

That's good.

Audrey picked up her chopsticks and pointed to Harold.

"Let's eat first. We'll then go find the henchman."

...

Dick's henchman was Coby Barry. He lived in the middle floor apartment of a tall building.

Dick had once saved Coby's life, who had always stayed by Dick's side then. Coby was special, belonging to no faction. He wouldn't be bribed by anyone. Therefore, he was deeply trusted by Dick.

Coby would go home every afternoon. He had a wife before, who died in a fire with an unborn child. His wife loved flowers, but the blazing sun in summer afternoon would burn the flowers on the balcony. Coby had to move the flowers when the sun was scorching.

Back at the apartment building, Coby as normal took out the door key after leaving the elevator.

When he was opening the door, Coby instantly saw that the glue next to the lock had traces of being touched. His expression changed slightly.

He turned around and was about to leave when six people walked out from the corner, blocking Coby's way out.

Coby frowned and calmly opened the door.

On the sofa in his home sat Audrey, Bryson, and Harold.

Coby didn't seem surprised to see them there.

He hung his keys on the wall and walked past them to the balcony.

He moved the pots near the balcony to the back of the sun one by one and washed his hands in the kitchen.

After that, Coby poked his head out from the kitchen and looked at them, "I don't have tea. Is water okay?"

Audrey smiled and said, "Sure!"

Coby was the calmest among all the people who had been kidnapped. He even asked them what to drink.

Soon, Coby brought out four cups of water and placed three cups in front of them. He took a cup himself and sat on the stool opposite.

After drinking some water, Coby said, "I will not help you. Just give up!"

He was firm.

Harold moved and wanted to say something, but Audrey patted his shoulder to stop him.

Audrey smiled at Coby, "So, Mr. Barry knows why we are here."

"Don't you come to me for that matter? I have already said that I won't say anything! Even if you point your guns at me and kill me, I will not cooperate!"

"Mr. Barry is loyal to Dick just like I've heard. No wonder Dick trusts you."

"Don't flatter me. I've already said that I know nothing. If you want to torture me, then go ahead!"

"Mr. Barry, we are not to interrogate you. We come here just to show you something interesting. I believe you must be interested in the surveillance video of the day your wife died!"
