Chapter 552 Being Watched Covertly Yeates and Saxton were truly two extremes, but they both perfectly confirmed the saying, “You reap what you sow.” After a few days, Charlotte and Joe arrived at the police station together. According to Yeates’s statement, the man who had come to bribe her was an average-looking guy. He seemed to be taking orders from someone else, frequently exchanging messages with others as if seeking someone’s opinion. The police decided to have Yeates attempt to contact that man, so they informed Charlotte and Joe to come along. If they could apprehend that man, they could also determine whether he had any conflicts with them. Charlotte and Joe went willingly. In just a few days, Yeates had become noticeably worn out. Upon seeing Charlotte, she immediately grew excited. “Charlotte! Please save me! I’m willing to become a key witness to help you find the real mastermind behind this! I beg you, I can’t afford to have a criminal record!” Charlotte looked at her expressionlessly. “If that’s the case, why did you still let yourself be bribed?” Yeates was momentarily speechless. Suddenly, she glared at Charlotte with a fierce intensity. “People like you, born with everything handed to you, what do you understand? You didn’t even have to do anything, yet you gained the favor of Gideon. And me? I’ve been pursuing him for three years, but he wouldn’t even give me a proper glance!” “If it weren’t for being pushed to a corner, why would I sell your design plan…” Joe took a step forward, blocking Yeates’s gaze. He lowered his gaze, a cold smirk playing on his lips. “Starting from when you devised the plan to distance her from Gideon to later stealing the design plan, who forced you into this? Does this even qualify as being compelled?” Enter title… Yeates was about to say more, but even the police officer beside them couldn’t bear it any longer. He knocked on the table. “Do you not know why you’re here? Quickly make the call!” Only then did Yeates fall silent. She cast a glance of grievance at the police officer, took out her phone, and dialed the
number. Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds… The call went unanswered, and the other side didn’t pick up. Furrows appeared on Yeates’s forehead. “This can’t be! I contacted him just a couple of days ago! Why would he ignore my calls?” Yeates tried several more times, but the other person never answered. Eventually, the call wouldn’t even go through anymore, suggesting that the other party had blocked her. The police officer frowned as well. “It seems like the other party has blocked you.” “But just a couple of days ago, he asked me if I could provide more substantial evidence if Saxton were to take legal action,” Yeates said incredulously. If she couldn’t establish contact with him, wouldn’t she lose the chance to clear her name? Charlotte’s brow furrowed. “The fact that he’s not answering your calls now could indicate he’s aware of your arrest. This suggests he might have been covertly keeping tabs on you.” However, Joe didn’t share the same perspective. He looked at Charlotte. “I think it’s more likely that he’s aware of your whereabouts.” Charlotte was a little stunned. “Me?” Joe’s expression grew solemn. “If that’s the case, it’s highly likely the other party knew about us coming for Yeates from the very first day.” This would also explain why the other side was cutting off Yeates’s calls decisively now. Even though both possibilities held weight, Charlotte instinctively agreed with Joe’s words for some reason. Perhaps someone was indeed silently observing her every move
