Chapter 769
Aiden followed Cassie immediately as she started to leave.
Seeing someone leave first, many guests also left one after another.
You could have a meal anywhere, but everyone wanted to go out to discuss Megan's privacy and whether Megan really cheated or not.
Watching the guests leave one by one, Walter smashed the cup on the spot in anger, "Embarrassing, this is the woman you insisted on marrying."
"Grandpa, Megan was set up; I truly believe she is innocent," Joseph defended, his face flushing with embarrassment. "I've known her since our time at the mental hospital; I know Megan very well.”
“No one can truly comprehend another person," Mabel remarked suddenly, casting a meaningful glance at Marcus. She had once believed she knew Marcus inside and out, but in recent years, she had come to the realization that she had never truly seen the depths of the person who had shared her bed for over two decades.”
Joseph was Mabel's son, and it was very likely that something bad would happen to him, just like Mabel.
"Your mom is right," Mildred nodded, "Don't blame us for canceling the wedding just now. As your family, of course, we hope you marry a honest woman. The police insisted on taking Megan away in front of so many guests. I guess they have some information."
Richard mustered up the courage to say, “Joseph, I believe it's important to conduct a thorough investigation. I've encountered numerous women, and many of them have been promiscuous...”
Before he could finish his words, Joseph glanced at him with his icy eyes.
"I'm taking people to the police station to bail Megan out."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Joseph, we'll go with you," Michael and Lucas followed.
As they made their way, Michael vented his frustration, exclaiming, "Those police officers are disgraceful. They could have conducted their investigation at any other time, but they chose to take Megan away on her wedding day. This is a public humiliation for Megan, completely disregarding a young woman's reputation. What will the people in the aristocratic circle say about Megan in the future?”
Michael opened his phone as he spoke, "Look, now everyone online knows that you've canceled the wedding, and they are all criticizing Megan."
"Lucas...," Joseph looked at Lucas.
"Don't worry. I've already called to have the news removed and found some celebrity scandals to replace it," Lucas said with a knowing look.
At the police station, Gilbert, the officer in charge of the case, personally visited Joseph after Joseph presented his lawyer's credentials.
I'm sorry, Mr. Hernandez, Megan is still undergoing questioning and cannot be released at this time," Gilbert stated solemnly.
Joseph furrowed his brow, asking, "I have provided all the necessary documents. Why can't Megan be granted bail?”
"The case is very serious, and it is closely related to the anti-drug team."
"It’s just a foreigner, how does it involve the anti-drug team?" Michael asked in frustration.
"Alright, listen. The victim’s name is Rex. We have been in touch with the international police. The victim had a history of frequent criminal activities while in Austin and had been incarcerated multiple times. Upon relocating to Madison, we discovered that Miss Ray had transferred thirty million to Rex's account. Rex resided in Miss Ray's apartment and frequented gambling establishments and bars. Additionally, during the forensic examination of Rex, it was revealed that he had recently developed a drug addiction. Following an investigation into his bar visits, our focus shifted to several female patrons at the bar. It was uncovered that Rex often brought different women back to the apartment, and three of these women were also struggling with drug addictions."
Joseph's pupils contracted sharply, "You said Megan gave thirty million to Rex?"
“Yes, fifteen million was provided over a month ago, and the other fifteen million was given recently. We have confirmed that Miss Ray covered all of Rex's expenses. According to information from neighbors, Megan would visit Rex's apartment at least three times a week, often staying for six or seven hours each time. Initially, we suspected that Miss Ray and Rex staying together might involve drugs, but the doctor has tested Miss Ray's blood, and she did not test positive for drugs. It's unusual for a woman to spend so much time in a room with a man, but we also reviewed the surveillance footage... there were instances where Miss Ray entered and exited wearing different clothes...”
Gilbert looked at Joseph sympathetically, "So we stoppedd the wedding for your good."
Joseph was already stiff all over.
