Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO
Chapter 559

Chapter 559 Acquittal?

After everybody moved on from the topic, Linda settled down tentatively beside Jason before asking, "Jason, you don't seem to like the wedding."

With a faint smile on his face, he answered, "What difference does my preference make? Let's talk about something else." Apparently, he didn't want to talk about that.

"Sure. By the way, are there any updates regarding Scott's murder?" Linda tried to gain more info on that, as she was certain that Jason would know about it.

"Miss Yard was acquitted. There might be further investigations regarding the case," Jason informed her. When she heard that, the glass that she was holding slipped from her hand before shattering to pieces after falling onto the ground. The noise attracted everybody's attention at once.

"Linda, did you hurt your hand? Let me take a look at it!" Lindsay was getting anxious all of a sudden. While the servants retrieved some utensils to proceed with cleaning up the shards, Jason was staring at Linda, looking perplexed. After all, he didn't expect her to have such an exaggerated reaction.

As soon as Linda snapped back to her senses, she quickly consoled Lindsay. "It's alright, Grandma. I'm fine. I just lost my grip on the glass. I'm sorry, Grandma. I didn't do it on purpose."

"It's no big deal. Don't apologize. All is well as long as you aren't hurt," said Lindsay while holding Linda's hand. She was so worried that something wrong might happen to Linda. With that, the incident was over.

When it was time to sleep, Linda went to knock on Jason's door. As soon as he saw her, a faint smile crept onto his face before he brought her into his room. "What's the matter? Why are you here at this hour?"

"Jason, you told me that Selena Yard was acquitted, and it was deemed that more investigation was required for the case. What actually happened after the arrest? According to the news, Selena was alone with Scott, so I'm fairly certain that she is the murderer," Linda explained.

She had just moved into Vince Manor, so she wasn't quite free to do anything she wanted for the time being. All she could do was enjoy life in the mansion, so she could only try to glean more info from Jason. "Do you mean the murder? I'm not entirely sure what happened. In short, Selena was acquitted, and more investigation will be required." From the beginning, Jason was quite concerned about the case. Knowing that Selena would never associate herself with someone the likes of Scott, he knew something must be wrong. However, Selena ended up being given an acquittal before he could even come up with a solution.

What happened didn't seem to go according to the law in Yucaria, nor was it characteristic of the police force in Yucaria. Nonetheless, Jason was relieved that Selena was acquitted. As long as Selena was safe, he didn't care who killed Scott.

"What's the matter, Linda?" Jason noticed that Linda had an odd look in her eyes.

"It's nothing. Scott and I used to be married to each other, so I figured I should at least replace out who the murderer is even though Scott is dead." A look of dejection flashed across her face. In fact, she was using a look of sorrow to mask her panic.

"You should forget about Scott. He's scum anyway. You have a new life now, so just forget about the past." Although Jason didn't have an in-depth conversation with Linda, he heard from his grandparents about her unhappy childhood. As her cousin, he wished for her to replace happiness, and in order to do that, she would have to bid goodbye to her past.

"Yeah, you're right. I need to forget about the past. I will put the case out of my mind and let it be."

"That's the attitude." Then, Jason reached out to caress her forehead.

At that moment, she felt her blood gushing to her face. His gaze and movements are so gentle!
