Chapter 330: Just A Joke
Daniel’s face darkened. Philip had already told him Oscar was the one who saved Chantelle. He’d also mentioned that Oscar seemed interested in her and reminded Daniel to step up if he didn’t want to lose her for good.
What’s wrong with the Nelsen brothers? Why are they all trying to win Chantelle’s favor? Do they really like her?
A bodyguard walked into the room. "Mr. Wilson, the truck driver has confessed. It was Fred who hired him."
Daniel frowned, trying to piece things together. "Fred? Wasn’t it supposed to be Joseph?"
"The driver is Ruby’s older brother. He’s unemployed and spends all his money on drinking and gambling. Ruby used to cover his expenses with money from the Bently family. But after the Bentlys went bankrupt, the money stopped coming. He blames Ms. Chantelle for everything."
Daniel nodded, signaling him to go on.
The bodyguard continued, "He got into serious debt from gambling. Loan sharks started chasing him. His wife ended her life, and his daughter was forced into escort work. He couldn’t handle it anymore. He went home and killed his own mother with a machete. After destroying his own family, he turned his rage toward Ms. Chantelle. He wanted revenge."
"He couldn’t have pulled off everything that happened yesterday by himself," Ashton abruptly interrupted.
The truck wasn’t the only vehicle chasing them. Several other cars tried to block their way.
"Yeah. He first went to Joseph for help. When Joseph turned him down, he planned to take his own life. But Fred found him and used him to carry out the plan yesterday. The other drivers didn’t know anything about it. That Thirteen kid managed to get the whole story out of him."
"It’s not easy to break someone who’s already lost everything," Daniel said with a slight smile, clearly impressed.
