Chapter 264 The Evidence Is Not Sufficient

"Kid, if we can't finish it, take it back for your grandfather."

Get Bott

Irene smiled, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Can Koen want your remaining wine?"

"Yes, it's my fault. Manuel, I have a lot of expensive red wine in my wine cabinet. When you leave later, pick a bottle from the wine cabinet and take it to your grandfather, lest he scolds me behind. my back again."

The atmosphere was harmonious even before they started eating.

Clara was busy serving the dishes. Manuel could not understand why Irene and Brady were so nice today. It was just an ordinary family dinner. Why would they use such precious wine?

He knew the value of the La Romanee-Conti Wine. Although its final price was more than 480 thousand dollars, in fact, this bottle of wine was priceless. The people who bought it must want to

add it to a collection.

Then what was Brady, who served him with the wine, thinking?

The table made of locust wood was a classic luxury.

The dishes served were all expensive, even more expensive than Pearl Hotel's.

There were only three of them on the dining table. Irene had not moved his fork yet. Brady quickly

pointed to one of the dishes and said, "Manuel, try this."

Manuel looked at the plate of stewed chicken in front of him and picked up a piece of meat to eat.

"Not bad."

Irene said proudly, "Manuel, the chefs Grandpa invited are all famous ones of Michelin three stars. They are no worse than Pearl Hotel."

"Manuel, ah, you and Irene have known each other since you were young. Your grandfather and 1 had already arranged for your engagement when you were still in bellies. Since you are not young anymore, shouldn't you..."

He did not continue. Irene turned her face shyly. Manuel did not speak for a long time. After a long silence, Manuel spoke again, "I'll have to ask Grandpa about this matter."

"Your grandfather and I talked about this matter two days ago. He did not object."

"If Grandpa does not object, of course, I have no objections."

Irene breathed a sigh of relief. Brady laughed heartily, "That's good. I will discuss it with your grandfather in a few days."

"Right, two days later, Pearl Hotel has a cocktail party. Let Irene go with you, and I hope you can

invite Irene to dance."

Irene looked at Manuel expectantly. He was slightly stunned and said, "Okay."

At Nancy's house.

In the old, dilapidated building, Mary's back was crushed. It was only two days. During these two

days, she went to report the case and submitted the evidence. However, she still didn't get what she

wanted.

"Maybe the evidence is not enough." Ainsley leaned against the gray wall.

Mary shook her head with a red face. "The real reason is not because of the evidence. If it is really because of the lack of evidence, then why did everyone think that she was the murderer who killed Nancy when that woman appeared?"

Ainsley was silent. It was her fault. She did not consider it too thoroughly.

She asked Mary to take evidence to call the police. She originally thought that with Nancy's chat record, chocolate code information, and Mary's words, as well as the struggle on the rooftop, she should be able to take down Irene.

But she never thought that everything would go down the drain. It was only because the second day after Mary went to the police station to report the case, a person appeared and admitted all her crimes. She could even tell the whole story.

Even when the police went to the rooftop to investigate and collect evidence, they found the woman's fingerprints. The chocolate store also showed that there was an order from this woman.

Everything was too coincidental. If Ainsley had not seen Irene and heard what she said, she might

have believed it.

"I have already said that no one can shake the power of capital. Poor people like us have no way to reach that apex in our entire lives. It is as easy as crushing us to death as crushing an ant. All the evidence is clearly in front of us. The next second, a scapegoat comes to plead guilty for her," Mary said in a daze.

If the previous evasion was due to Mary's instinct, now that she had made up her mind to replace the truth to avenge her daughter, she discovered that the courage she had mustered was simply too stupid. Ainsley shook her head, her voice drifting far away. "That's because they are bad, so bad that they can easily kill a person's life, so bad that they can use another life to exchange an opportunity." She had previously predicted this matter. Whether it was the incident in the horse track or Nancy's death, it was all related to Irene.

"Mrs. Conway, I will not give up."

On the way home, Ainsley received a call.

"Ms. Easton, I have found out what you asked me to check. I have sent it to your email."

"Okay, I will transfer the money to your account."

After hanging up the phone, Ainsley opened her email. As expected, there was an unread email. When she opened it, she understood. When she got home, she saw Matteo looking at the documents in his hand with a worried face.

"Matteo? What's wrong?"

Matteo immediately put away the documents and said as if nothing had happened, "It's fine. You're back. What did Mary say?"

"There's a scapegoat. Mary is very helpless. I will not give up."

Her eyes were solemn. "What was the document you hid just now? Tell me what happened, is it the

Easton Group..."

"No, it's just some trivial matter of the company. It won't take much time, and I can handle it later."

"Matteo, I have grown up. Don't treat me like a three-year-old child anymore."

She had seen that Matteo was still calm and collected in the crisis of the company. It was absolutely

impossible for him to be worried just because of a small matter in the company.

Matteo chuckled. "No matter when it is, you are always a child in my eyes. In fact, it is not a big deal. The negotiation of the supply of red wine on the resort island doesn't succeed." "Matteo, tell the truth." Ainsley's face darkened.

Only then did Matteo say, "Not only the supply of red wine on the resort island, but the red wine. suppliers who have been working with us have refused to renew our contract and several new manufacturers and suppliers who went to negotiate with the purchasing department have refused

our contract."

"Why?"

"The Wade family."

Ainsley also fell silent. The Wade family couldn't get involved in other business groups, but they

had a say in wine.

Just now, the news reported that Manuel had returned home with Irene. No one knew whether Irene was going to see his parents or not, but everyone knew that the relationship between the Wade family and the Gage family was close.

Without the control of the Gage family, the Wade group could be said to be omnipotent in Seattle.

"Other than the supplier of Seattle, can't we import wine from abroad?"
