After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities
Chapter 969

Chapter 969

Jasper had just driven out when Mrs. Howlett's call came in, and the ringtone of her phone sounded particularly clear in the late night.

"How is your sister now? How did she end up getting arrested by the police at Larro's engagement party?"

"Mom, Sister is innocent. She didn't harm anyone, and I will investigate this thoroughly." Jasper quickly reassured his emotionally distressed mother.

Mrs. Howlett's voice was filled with anxiety and worry, "Ever since she married into the Mcguire family, she hasn't had a single good day. She's been suffering humiliation and torment every day, and she's over thirty with no husband around, no children by her side... Why is Carolyn so unfortunate?"

"At least if there were children, there would be some hope for the future, but what now?"

Mrs. Howlett became more and more agitated as she spoke, almost in tears at the end.

"What has my daughter suffered? Abandoned by her biological parents in a ditch when she was a child, nearly drowning, luckily she met me, I raised her and finally found happiness in life. And now? Her husband is detained abroad... Jasper, promise me, your sister's life is too bitter, you must help her... You are my only son and daughter... If something happens to your sister, I won't be able to live either." Listening to his mother sobbing on the other end of the phone, Jasper felt a pang of sadness. Carolyn was seven or eight years older than him; she was already in primary school when he was born. But she had always been very loving towards him, and now that she was in trouble, even if his parents didn't say it, he would still help her.

"Mom, don't worry too much. Sister is innocent, she will be fine. I will investigate this matter in detail right away and clear her name."

"Hurry up and go, hurry up." Mrs. Howlett hung up as soon as she heard her son was busy with important matters.

Geoff watched her cry until her eyes were red, and quickly comforted her, "Carolyn is also my daughter, I am worried about her too. I'll inform some acquaintances at Larro's place to take care of her in the detention center. At the very least, we can't let our daughter suffer."

"You should hurry up and go, what are you still doing here?" Mrs. Howlett pushed him, and Geoff shook his head helplessly. He also needed time, didn't he? She kept holding onto his clothes, crying incessantly, until she collapsed into his arms.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Mcguire were comforting Katie in her hospital bed.

Mrs. Mcguire's tears flowed continuously as she fretted, "If Carolyn really bribed that driver to run you over, I won't let her off the hook. She's so ruthless, actually attempting murder." "Do you have any evidence?" Mr. Mcguire said, feeling troubled. "Carolyn is not that kind of person."

"My daughter is lying here seriously injured, and the police have taken her away. If it wasn't her, would the police arrest anyone?" Mrs. Mcguire wiped her tears and glared at Mr. Mcguire with red eyes. "Katie is your own daughter, isn't she more important than an outsider?"

"What do you know? What has Carolyn done to Katie? Carolyn has treated her sister-in-law well, hasn't she? She didn't skimp on pocket money, didn't cut back on cars, and even regularly gave her designer bags, the latest ones! Do you think I'm blind? I think you're blind!" Mr. Mcguire's face darkened with anger as he stared at Mrs. Mcguire. "Don't forget, she's the heiress of the Gibson family, and she has a share in the Gibson family's wealth. Does she care about the Mcguire family?"

"She's just an adopted daughter of the Gibson family, how could the Gibson family share their wealth with her? Are you delusional?" Mrs. Mcguire sneered, as if mocking Mr. Mcguire's nonsense.

"Although Carolyn is adopted, her status in the Gibson family is no different from a biological child." Mr. Mcguire felt frustrated. "When she got married, her dowry was even ten percent more than what our family received. It makes me ashamed and embarrassed! Don't let me hear you defaming her again, or I won't be polite."

"You heartless man, you don't care about your own daughter, but you keep defending someone else's daughter, how can you be so heartless?" Mrs. Mcguire started crying again.

Katie's foot hurt, her head hurt, and she couldn't help but scream, "Can you two stop arguing, or get out!"

The couple glared at each other in anger, neither saying another word.

After a while, Mrs. Mcguire moved to the bedside and softly asked Katie, "Katie, do you want to eat anything? Are you thirsty?"

Katie rolled her eyes, "Just be quiet, your talking gives me a headache."

"Katie, Mom cares about you too..." Mrs. Mcguire started crying again.

"I'm not dead, neither is the driver. We're both fine, why are you crying?" Katie became more irritable. "Just leave!"

"Okay, okay, I won't cry..." Mrs. Mcguire wiped her tears and fell silent.

Katie gradually fell asleep, and the night grew deeper.

Mr. Mcguire sighed and sat on the nearby cot.

Mrs. Mcguire remained sad, sitting there without saying a word.

Until Mr. Mcguire's phone rang, he glanced at the sleeping Katie, then hurriedly walked out to answer the call.

He left the hospital room door slightly ajar, and Mrs. Mcguire could faintly hear his voice coming through the crack, "The driver keeps accusing Carolyn? He says Carolyn masterminded it, does he have evidence? What? Transfer records? From Carolyn's Alipay? How is that possible?"

Mrs. Mcguire felt a surge of hatred. With such solid evidence, why did he still insist on defending Carolyn and trying to clear her name?

The more she thought about it, the more she hated it. She wished Carolyn would be executed immediately to ease her heartache.

Suddenly, a bad thought arose in her mind. Could it be... her son wasn't at home, and this daughter-in-law had a secret relationship with him? Otherwise, why would he insist on bailing Carolyn out? Combining Mr. Mcguire and Carolyn's usual interactions, including Carolyn's power in the company, she felt her speculation was highly likely.

When Mr. Mcguire finished the call and came back, he coldly said to her, "I have something to do, you and the nurse take care of Katie."

Mrs. Mcguire sarcastically mocked him, "You don't care about your own daughter, but you're so concerned about someone else's daughter. Are you saving Carolyn?" "Carolyn is also our family. She's innocent and being wrongly accused. Why do you have such hostility towards her?" Mr. Mcguire was exhausted and speechless.

"Because she's the murderer, the murderer who killed my daughter!" Mrs. Mcguire cursed angrily.

"You're irrational!" Mr. Mcguire, feeling too exhausted to deal with her madness, turned and left.

As Mr. Mcguire left, Mrs. Mcguire started crying softly again.

Once out of the hospital, Mr. Mcguire headed straight for the police station where Carolyn was being interrogated.

"I don't know him, no matter how many times you say it, I don't know him."

"I really didn't hire a hitman, I didn't transfer money to him, I don't know where that transfer record came from."

"Katie and I used to get along well, we just had a recent disagreement, I have no reason to kill her."

She spoke hoarsely, as the interrogators changed one after another.

She was starting to feel exhausted.

Her once elegant makeup from the engagement banquet now showed signs of wear, her face looking weary and tired.

Just then, the door of the interrogation room opened, and a young man handcuffed was pushed in.

A female police officer asked him coldly, "Do you know her?"

The young man nodded hastily, "Yes, she's the one who gave me the money to crash that BMW."

Carolyn couldn't help but laugh angrily, "Have I ever seen you? Who are you? Who's behind you, telling you to slander me? Who's the real one who paid you?"

"It's you! How can you deny it? You don't know me when you see the police?" The young man, with a pointed face, looked at Carolyn in shock, "But you made the appointment with me! You even said, your long-term husband is not around, after the matter is done, you'll give yourself to me."

"What? How could I ever be interested in someone like you?" Carolyn gritted her teeth, her eyes red with anger, "May those who falsely accuse me be cursed. I will not confess. Whoever comes, I will say the same thing, I am innocent!"

"Miss Howlett, quiet!" The police officer picked up a pen and lightly tapped the table, "We will investigate this matter thoroughly. You need to calm down."

The young man was taken away, and the female police officer looked at Carolyn with some sympathy, "Miss Howlett, the situation is very unfavorable for you. He has records of the transfer you made to him, two hundred thousand. So... if you have other evidence, you'd better remember to submit it to us."

The once proud female CEO was now a prisoner, a sight that was lamentable no matter how you looked at it. Carolyn was temporarily taken to a makeshift cell. Just as she entered, Mr. Mcguire hurriedly arrived.

The middle-aged man said anxiously through the iron bars, "Carolyn, Dad will save you. Dad believes in you." Carolyn smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of saying these things? The police still have to believe me." She paused and asked again, "How's Katie's condition?"

"She won't die." Mr. Mcguire looked at her with concern, "Someone is clearly trying to harm you, not wanting you to go abroad to save the eldest. The upcoming trial is crucial... Carolyn, I will definitely save you no matter what."

After comforting Carolyn a few more times, he left.

Carolyn curled up on the small bed in the corner, unable to sleep at all.

Who could be trying to harm her?

Instead of returning to the hospital, Mr. Mcguire went to a hotel.

In a room in the hotel, a young man was watching TV.

Upon hearing a knock on the door, he looked cautiously towards the door, "Who is it?" "Kareem, it's me."

"Uncle?" Kareem opened the door of the room, "Smack!" A slap landed hard on his face. He was stunned, feeling the pain in his cheek, before he reacted, "Why did you hit me?"
