Falling For The Alpha King
Chapter 7
"May I know what was written in the letter, Scott?" asked Mr. James.
Scott closed the letter and replied, “My father died of poison. Someone put poison in his food and that's why he died."
"Do you have a suspect?" James asked.
"Not. I never thought of suspecting anyone, but Fred's father couldn't have done something despicable like this. As far as I know, despite competing with my father, he places great emphasis on honesty and sportsmanship. So, somehow I feel a little confused, this letter confused me. Who had the heart to put poison in my father's food? He's never hurt anyone," Scott replied, looking back at the letter in his hand.
“But the poison was found in Fred's father's study room. How do you explain that?” asked Mr. James.
"I don't know, I'll look into this later. Then, am I still obliged to come to Peter's funeral?"
“After considering it, I decided it wasn't necessary anymore. I will send my assistant to come to the funeral. Now you can go."
Then, Scott got up and said goodbye to Mr. James, then stepped out of the office of the High Court. This time he walked out of the High Court headquarters alone. He walked down a long hallway that was directly connected to the headquarters exit.
Outside, one of Mr. James' private driver was waiting for him and as soon as he saw Scott, he immediately opened the car door and let him in.
“Mr. Scott, please come in. Mr. James asked me to take you home," he said as he stood beside the car door.
“Okay, thanks Axel,” Scott replied as he got into the car.
Not long after that, Axel was sitting in the driver's seat and was starting the car engine while fastening the safety belt. Scott, sitting in the back passenger seat, stared out the side window wondering where to start the investigation. It felt like all roads seemed deadlocked and there were no clues at all.
When he was daydreaming, apparently Axel realized that Scott looked confused. He ventured to ask.
