The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 499

The news struck Cedrick and Nico like a bolt from the blue.

After sharing a look with each other, Cedrick quickly recomposed himself and said, “All right, I’ll go to the Newton residence to take a look at the situation. You carry on with your work.”

“Yes, Mr. Jenson.”

With another bow, Jasper left.

Once Jasper was gone, Nico moved closer to Cedrick and whispered, “Cedrick, Neville and Swain’s teams are still stationed five hundred meters away from the Newton residence. Do we still… arrest him?”

Cedrick calmly replied, “Something’s fishy about this, and we’re not going to rush headlong into this. Have them remain in their positions and await further orders. Take a copy of the evidence you’ve sorted out and bring along the arrest warrant. Pay attention to my actions and act accordingly.”

“Understood.”

The two men then left the Federal Bureau of Investigation and went into the car to head toward the Newton residence.

Sure enough, chaos had erupted at the Newton residence. The housekeepers and bodyguards were so busy that no one welcomed Cedrick and Nico when they walked in.

Sorrow had taken over the villa.

When Jasmine and Lucas found out about the tragic news, they rushed back to the family house as well. Nico grabbed one of the male housekeepers and asked, “Where’s Mr. Craig?”

“He’s on the top floor. He’s in a terrible mood after finding out what happened to Mrs. Newton.”

At that, Cedrick and Nico instantly went to the highest floor. The third room to the left was full of people.

Craig was holding onto Caylie’s body, which was already cold and stiff as he sat on the bed in a melancholic daze.

It was Cedrick’s first time seeing Craig with swollen eyes and a desolated expression.

Even Lucas and Jasmine’s eyes were red. The air in the room was heavy with grief.

Cedrick raked his gaze across the room before pulling the tearful butler Karl aside.
