Chapter 583

Just as Carlene had expected, she didn’t hesitate to throw Dalia’s son under the bus

Dalia’s past scandal at Solstice College had made her a black sheep in the Shepard family. Even when Selena used

to accuse lan, she would bring up Dalia’s dirty laundry.

Dalia being fired meant she had become expendable to the Shepard family.

So, the scapegoat this time was her son, without a second thought.

And Dalia had only one son.

She had been planning her revenge against Maja. All because of Maja, everything she had painstakingly built at

Solstice College went up in smoke.

But before she could get her act together, her own flesh and blood didn’t think twice about throwing her son into

the fire.

“Carlene, I beg you, don’t do this to my son. This is a one–way ticket to jail.*

Carlene wore a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

“Don’t put all the blame on me. lan left us to deal with this mess to prevent the Shepard family’s company from

going bankrupt. Plus, this was a democratic decision; your son got the most votes. You need to see the bigger

picture. As long as the Shepard family’s company survives, we’ll take care of him once he’s out. You’ll live

comfortably on the outside.”

The others also tried to convince Dalia not to be so stubborn.

Dalia slumped to the ground, unable to believe these people were her own family.

Back when she was the director of Solstice College, they would hang on her every word.

Now that her status had fallen, she had become an embarrassment they wanted to hide.

Her eyes were filled with hatred as she glared at Carlene.

“Carlene, he’s only in his twenties! Ten years ago, he was just a teenager, there’s no way he could be involved with

the coastal real estate development.”

“There’s no room for negotiation.”

Carlene showed her irritation and brushed off Dalia, saying, “We have to answer to society. We need to sacrifice

one of our own to show everyone that were not just looking for a scapegoat.”

Dalia was speechless. At this moment, she didn’t hate Maja anymore; she hated Carlene, the traitor!

The others were oblivious to the fact that Dalia was now gunning for them.

They were all still basking in the joy of lan’s willingness to invest $300 million.

Plus, Carlene had prepared a blank notebook, which was a bit unsettling when sent to the Raymond Corporation.

Although the Raymond Corporation was willing to invest, the signing would have to wait another half month.

She was now between a rock and a hard place, with no way out.

When lan received the notebook, he found it was blank and perfectly matched Eric Raymond’s serious academic

style.

He frowned and called Fitch Haskins to confirm.

“Is the notebook you mentioned having a girly style on the inside cover?”

“Yes, did you replace it?”

“No.”

lan hung up and called Carlene, his tone indifferent.

“This bracelet is an ordinary bracelet, and this notebook is an ordinary notebook. I’ve helped you twice already. This

time, I even invested $300 million. Carlene, you wouldn’t dare deceive me, would you?”

Carlene couldn’t gauge his tone over the phone, but her heart was pounding.

“lan, these were gifts from Eric. I was puzzled too, why he would give me these things.”

lan casually flipped through the notebook and said, “Carlene, I trusted you last time and didn’t have the bracelet

fingerprinted. But I’ll give this notebook to Fitch. His laser detection technology can detect fingerprints from years

ago. If my brother’s fingerprints aren’t on the notebook, you’ll have some explaining to do”

Upon hearing this, Carlene’s pupils contracted, and her face turned pale in an instant

After hanging up, her back was drenched in cold sweat.

She knew that the notebook she had sent couldn’t possibly have Eric’s fingerprints. After all, Eric had never given

her anything.

If lan found out she was trying to deceive him…

Carlene didn’t dare to think about the consequences. Her lips even started to tremble.

Meanwhile, lan had the notebook sent to Fitch.

The Haskins family specialized in weapons and instruments. This kind of detection was a piece of cake for them.

The results came out the next morning.

Carlene didn’t sleep all night, pacing back and forth anxiously.

But then Fitch called lan.

“Eric’s fingerprints are indeed on the notebook.”

lan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was convinced that Carlene was deceiving him.

He absolutely loathed deception.

But now, Fitch’s answer took him by surprise.

His breath hitched in his throat. How Eric had died was a mystery all the Raymond family wanted to solve.

His father had refused to retire because he wanted to replace the answer.

“Is there anything else in the notebook?”

“No, just an ordinary notebook.”

lan’s eyes drooped, looking somewhat disappointed.

“But lan, the latest technology can determine when the fingerprints were left. These weren’t left before Eric died,

but within the past three days.”

“What are you saying?”

“Fingerprints can’t be faked. That means Eric might have touched this notebook within the past three days. He

might still be alive.”

Even the usually calm Fitch couldn’t control his excitement. His voice even started to tremble.

“That’s impossible!” lan shot up from his chair and yanked off his tie.

“When my brother went on that mission years ago, his body was never recovered. Grandpa said they couldn’t even

bring back his remains, let alone figure out who arranged the explosion.”
