My Substitute CEO Bride -
Chapter 596
Chapter 596
Horace answered all the questions without hesitation. He lowered his head before saying in a choked voice, “Lori and I have known each other for six years. We dated for a bit when we were in college, and we’ve only just gotten back together… I didn’t expect something to happen to her so soon!”
“Where do you live?” Jupiter asked.
“Tranquility Apartments, Unit 1603!”
Horace had a wooden expression on his face. He seemed to be trying
his best to work with Jupiter.
“Would you mind if I took a look at your home? I’ll apply for a warrant if you mind it!” Jupiter said politely.
To be honest, he was going to search his home no matter what. It was just that he needed to apply for a warrant if the tenant did not
consent to the search.
“I’ll cooperate as best as I can. My wish is for the murderer to be identified as soon as possible too!” Horace replied, his head lowered.
Jupiter, Angelica, and Horace went to Tranquility Apartments together.
After pulling the surveillance footage from the security cameras and studying it, they were able to determine Horace had spent the entire night in the building. He only left the building at eight o’clock the next morning and drove to work.
Additionally, there was nothing out of the ordinary at Horace’s home.

Jupiter’s worst fear was coming true.
All the evidence they had found on Lori’s body was false.
Someone else had murdered her.
Countless social media influencers stood outside the social media
management company Horace worked at and stopped Jupiter from returning to the Inspection Office.
“Everyone, look… The inspection officers are making arrests without
having any proof!”
“Aren’t officers supposed to serve the people? Are they allowed to act this way?”
“Why are they arresting the innocent instead of the guilty? Are they
just trying to pin the blame on a scapegoat because they can’t replace the culprit?”
The influencers used their phones to capture videos and pictures.
Their posts soon went viral on the internet.
Even Henderson called Jupiter to ask him what was going on.
“Jupiter… what’s the meaning of all those videos on the internet?”
“The suspect runs a social media management company. His clients
are targeting Angelica and me!”
“Do you have anything on him?”
“No!”

“Release him if you don’t have anything on him. You know what those influencers are like!” Henderson felt a headache coming on. He had been harassed on the internet enough times himself.
“No, I won’t release him until I have concrete evidence proving his innocence!” Jupiter said stubbornly.
“Well, either you replace that damn evidence soon or you release him. You’ll regret your decisión if you don’t do that!”
Henderson hung up the phone after that.
He was trying to tell Jupiter he would be targeted by users who believed online rumors.
Since Henderson had mentored Jupiter, he knew just how stubborn he could be. He never released his suspects unless he was sure of their innocence.
Despite all that, Henderson sent more men to Jupiter’s way to help him get out of the situation.
At Royal Bay, Nash woke up after sleeping for three hours.
He stretched lazily, feeling completely refreshed.
He grabbed his phone from the bedside table and realized Hera had sent him dozens of messages.
Sighing, Nash called Angelica to replace out what was going on.
Angelica spared no detail when updating Nash on how the case was progressing.

“That’s all for now… A fight has broken out! Hey, stop!”
Angelica yelled as she hurried forth to break them apart.
Nash stared at the screen dazedly.
DNA evidence of three people, including that of Lori’s boyfriend, had
been found in her body. Yet, he had an alibi?
Horace had been arrested, but the other two were nowhere to be
found. If these three people were the scapegoats, where had the fluid found in Lori’s body come from?
Nash could not make any sense of it.
He decided he might as well drop by the Inspection Office!
Nash headed downstairs after getting dressed.
Helena was helping Maria clean the house.
“Please, Ms. Helena, allow me to do it… You should sit back and
relax!” Maria spoke nervously.
She had worked at the Lewis household previously.
