The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 621 David Broke Down In Tears

After chatting with Gwendolyn, Cedrick went to the interrogation room.

Neville had been waiting at the door for a while.

The door to the interrogation room opened, revealing a spacious room with a table in the middle.

David sat there obediently, not even pulling on a cigarette.

Seeing Cedrick enter, David immediately tried to stand up but was held down by two police officers of both sides and made to sit back down. “Cedrick, I was on a business trip. Why did you suddenly call me back?”

Cedrick fixated his dark, piercing gaze on David in silence.

A series of dull thuds sounded as he strode in wearing his military boots.

He walked to a table several meters opposite David and sat down. Only then did he start to speak. “Uncle David, if you were on a business trip, why were you living so pathetically, staying in an ordinary motel and eating cheap food? You were obviously avoiding me.”

His deep and composed voice didn’t reveal a hint of his emotions, but his overwhelming presence was oppressive.

David’s countenance stiffened slightly before he swiftly forced an amicable smile. “What are you talking about? Why would I hide from you? I was on a business trip to Livingsfill and unexpectedly lost my ID and wallet, so I borrowed some money from an old friend and had to economize.”

Cedrick wasn’t interested in listening to him beat around the bush, so he glanced at Neville.

Neville fathomed his boss’ intention and bowed respectfully. Before leaving, he instructed the police officers to secure David’s hands to the handcuffs on the interrogation table. Then, he led the other officers out of the room.

After the heavy door of the spacious interrogation room was closed, only Cedrick and David were left alone inside.
