Chapter 1197
It was the reporter who had implied in the hall that there was an ulterior motive for the reunion banquet.
Catelyn suddenly stood up from the bench, and the reporter met her eyes. The atmosphere became tense.
The man subconsciously looked around as if checking whether Catelyn had arranged for other bodyguards to lurk around.
Catelyn watched his actions, not seeing the murderous intention in his eyes, so she secretly put her hand into her pocket and sent a text message to Eason, saying that she
was safe.
Immediately afterward, Catelyn walked up to the reporter, pretending to be relaxed. She said as calmly as possible, "You're the one who sent me the email?"
The reporter waited for a while and found no danger. He swallowed and asked Catelyn, ‘ Where is the money?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was really him. Catelyn didn't hesitate to take out a bank card with a million dollars in it and hand it over. "Here is one million dollars. The password is the last six digits of the
account number."
The man's eyes lit up as he stared at the card, but Catelyn withdrew her hand before he could take the card. "Tell me the clue."
The man failed to get the card. He said cautiously, "There are other people here. This is not a place to talk."
"Follow me," Catelyn said and went to a vine shelf in the back garden of the old house of the Hensleys, where there were blooming flowers and fragrant air.
Occasionally, a breeze blew over. The petals on the vines fluttered and spread. What a beautiful scene!
In this environment, the man let his guard down.
Catelyn and the man sat down face to face.
The two were separated by a stone platform built by craftsmen.
"What's your name?"
"Darwin Garner."
"What do you know about the incident where someone once tried to kidnap me and my daughter? And how do you know that?"
"I'm an entertainment reporter, but I write sharply, so they often ask me to write political news. That day I arrived at the appointed place. After I took the money, I didn't leave
immediately, and I accidentally overheard their conversation."
Catelyn quietly listened to the man's words, took the bank card out, and pushed it to the man. "Go on."
Darwin's eyes were fixed on the bank card. "In fact, those people first thought that you were Alfred's woman and had his child in your belly. They targeted you just to attack
Alfred. They wanted to carve up the Wagner family's business territory and cut off its financial contributions to the reelection of Mr. President."
In the past elections, the Wagner family was Brayion's main supporter.
But Brayion had introduced a lot of humane policies in the past two years, which affected some of the strong consortiums. Thus, they formed a business coalition to siege the
Wagner family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was also one of the reasons why the Wagner family actively sought foreign partners later.
Catelyn thought about her visit to Cloud Island. During that period, she felt that someone was watching her secretly.
Yet she had thought Cedrick was chasing after her, and she had not realized it was someone else plotting against her.
She was shocked.
"But just when they intended to make a move, they found Alfred had frequently taken you to meet Mr. President, who was very intimate with you. They naturally suspected
that there was an affair between you and Mr. President, so the mastermind ordered his people immediately to kidnap you at all costs. After all, threatening the president is
much more useful than threatening Alfred..."
Catelyn held her breath.
"Who is the mastermind? Is he the one who kidnapped my daughter?"
Darwin, however, shook his head at that moment. "I can tell you with certainty that your daughter was not kidnapped by them because ... on the night you gave birth,
something strange happened."
"What is it?" Catelyn asked in a hurry.
"That mastermind is powerful. He wouldn't do something like kidnapping personally. He hired mercenaries. Learning that you had been rushed to the hospital for delivery, he
immediately sent someone to snatch your child, but..."
