Chapter 663 Avenging Billy
Kaleb sought to venture forth to offer elucidation on behalf of Patricia, only to be restrained by her firm grasp. "Joe is currently experiencing the pain of losing a child. No matter what we say, he won't listen! Let him calm down in a few days, then explain to him. Or, wait until the truth is revealed, and I will naturally be cleared."
Kaleb was anxious. "You don't know. Joe is very protective! Even if Billy did many wrong things, he would rather hand Billy over to the law than allow anyone to harm him. Now he thinks you killed his son. He will definitely not let it go."
Patricia always thought Joe was a person who could distinguish right from wrong and was selfless.
After hearing what Kaleb said, she subconsciously loosened her grip on his hand.
Kaleb immediately went out to chase after them.
Unfortunately, when he reached the door, he watched helplessly as their car sped past him.
Kaleb knew this incident had caused a big stir.
With Joe's status and power in Country D, seeking revenge for Billy by harming Patricia was exceedingly easy.
Kaleb didn't have time to worry about it and didn't have time to wait for a driver to pick him up.
He hailed a taxi on the roadside and followed Joe's car closely.
Shortly after, Joe's black sedan stopped in front of the nearest hospital to the police station.
Joe rushed to the emergency room with Susan in his arms
Kaleb followed immediately.
When he arrived at the entrance to the emergency room, Susan had already been taken to the emergency room for treatment.
Joe stood at the entrance to the emergency room like a pillar. His hands clenched into fists at his sides. Due to excessive force, the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
Kaleb knew he was very angry, so he walked over and gently patted his shoulder, saying, "Joe, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Joe knew what he wanted to say. He suddenly turned his head, his crimson eyes staring wide at Kaleb.
"I know what you want to say, but I will never let this matter go," Joe growled.
Kaleb persisted. "Joe, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter. We should investigate...
Joe impatiently raised his hand to stop him from continuing. "You don't need to say anything. Patricia is just an outsider. If you don't want to destroy our decades-long friendship for an outsider, then don't argue for her anymore."
Kaleb knew this approach wouldn't work, so he changed tactics and said, "I know you are angry now, but I hope you can calm down and not do something you'll regret. It wasn't easy for you to climb to your current position. If you do something illegal, all your hard work will be in vain. Think about Susan, think about Carol. No matter how angry you are, don't make hasty decisions. My relationship with Patricia is only a few days old, naturally not as strong as our decades-long friendship. If you really want to take action against her, I won't interfere in your affairs. But right now, I'm standing in your shoes and thinking for you. I don't want you to make a mistake and regret it later."
Joe's chest heaved violently, his face flushed with anger, and his breath seemed to carry flames.
"Don't worry, I won't break the law," Joe said.
However, justice had to be served, and Patricia had to face the consequences.
As for the severity of the punishment, it was up to Joe to decide.
Joe wanted Patricia to pay for Billy's life.
Upon hearing this, Kaleb breathed a sigh of relief. "It's best if you think that way! Leave everything to the law; don't handle it privately."
However, the bond between Kaleb and Patricia paled in comparison to the relationship Kaleb had with the Hill family.
If they truly fell out, Kaleb wouldn't side with either party and would have to remain neutral.
Sebastian arrived quickly.
Taking the afternoon flight, he arrived in Country D early in the morning before dawn.
Martin and Ryan personally came to pick him up.
Sebastian, accompanied by an assistant, got into a black sedan parked outside the airport. As the car started moving, Sebastian spoke up, "What's going on exactly? I need to know the details."
It was inconvenient to say too much on the phone earlier.
Sebastian only knew that Patricia was in big trouble and needed him to handle it.
However, the specific details were not discussed over the phone.
Martin recounted the whole story to Sebastian in detail, not wanting to miss any important information.
The vehicle was initially heading towards the police station.
After hearing the full story, Sebastian suddenly said, "Let's go to the scene of the incident."
Ryan asked, puzzled, "Why go there?"
Sebastian explained, "If we don't go to the scene of the incident to investigate firsthand, how can we get a clearer understanding of the situation at that time?"
Ryan fell silent, giving him a thumbs up. "Truly the world's best lawyer, much better than us."
Sebastian accepted his praise gladly. "I've always been professional!"
Because the airport was in the north and the scene of the incident was in the south, several hours had passed by the time they arrived.
Upon getting out of the car, they were immediately stunned by the scene before them.
A large number of people, starting from Starlight Bridge and heading downstream, were all part of the search and rescue team.
Almost everyone of Country D was here.
Everyone was fully equipped and personally went into the water to search. After getting tired, they immediately switched with another group to continue searching.
The scene of the incident was also cordoned off, and they were neither police nor part of the search and rescue team, so they couldn't enter.
Ryan was anxious. "Martin, what do we do now? We can't go in, and we can't just barge in, right?"
Martin took out his phone and called Kaleb.
Kaleb lived relatively close to the area, and he arrived in just an hour, bringing Martin's medicine with him.
"Take your medicine first. I'll handle things here," Kaleb said.
Martin opened the insulated lunch box, tilted his head back, and drank the medicine in one gulp.
After he finished the medicine, Kaleb had already sorted things out and led them straight in.
On the way, he made sure to tell them, "Billy is in trouble, and Joe is very angry! Susan is also seriously ill! If we don't clear Patricia's name, things will get very complicated."
Sebastian heard his words but remained silent.
Once on the bridge, Sebastian carefully inspected the surroundings.
It wasn't raining, and the ground wasn't slippery, so Billy couldn't have accidentally fallen into the water.
The railing on the bridge was intact.
There were no signs of a struggle in the vicinity.
There were no security cameras on the bridge.
As he continued to investigate, Sebastian's face grew increasingly grim.
This was not good.
Not good at all.
Sebastian couldn't find any clues that favored Patricia.
Indeed, it appeared to align with the account provided by the rideshare driver—Patricia trailed Billy and, taking advantage of a moment of vulnerability, pushed him from behind. Given the absence of inclement weather and slippery footing on a dry day, it was implausible that Billy accidentally slipped and fell.
The bridge railing was intact.
There were no signs of a struggle nearby.
There were no surveillance cameras on the bridge.
