Chapter 340
Daniel’s POV
Staf Studio
I was reviewing the information John had gathered about Imelda. I noticed she had been contacting Jen a lot during the time she was over at Jonathan’s and Veronica was missing.
I knew she got Jen to pose as her, the reason she got her to have her face. But why contact her so much?
And what shocked me was Jen contacted Imelda even after she was exposed, for that matter more than she did before.
“Why would Imelda contact Jen while at Rollings House?” I questioned myself.
“What if someone heard her p>
“And after Imelda’s game was over, why did Jen call her so much p>
“Looks like Jen knows more than what she told us,” I said as I placed the paper on the table.
“John,” I said on the phone.
“Arrange a meeting with Jen p>
The reason I told him was cause this one had to be recorded.
The next day I went to John’s office.
Federal Department – John’s office
“Why did you call me here?” Jen was questioning John as I entered.
“Ask me,” I said as I took a chair.”I’m the one who told him to call you over p>
“Care to tell us why did you call Imelda after she was exposed p>
“Before as well,” I said.
“You should have stopped the moment you both settled p>
“Why continue p>
“We didn’t call as much as you make it sound,” she was trying to minimize their contact.
“It was an occasional message, nothing more p>
“I don’t believe a word of what you said,” I said, folding my arms.
I did feel bad for her, after all she was also used by Imelda, but at the same time I was disappointed by her as she indirectly hurt Veronica and Jonathan.
Then I placed the financial records before her.
“Care to tell why you got so much from both Alex and Imelda p>
“Why did they pay you? Why did Alex fund your facial surgery p>
“What did you give them in return p>
“I’m a damn orphan!” she yelled.
She exhaled as she saw neither one of us flinched.
“I’m an orphan,” she said again, but more relaxed.
“If someone came over and offers a million every month p>
“And all you have to do is change your face p>
“Why wouldn’t you p>
“I was told as long as I make everyone believe I was Imelda, I would get a million every month p>
“The reason she gave me the alibi, that I completely lost my memory p>
I realized the reason Jen cooperated was for financial benefits.
“Alex had his men arrange the funds for you p>
“I never knew him face-to-face,” Jen said.
“His men were always the ones who contacted me p>
“I admit I believed them and got my face changed p>
“But now I regret it p>
Today for the first time since I knew Alex, I was truly angry at him for what he did.
“Did you ever understand what Imelda was going to do p>
I really hoped she didn’t.
“I never knew exactly what they were up to,” She said.
“I knew she wanted to replace Veronica in Jonathan’s life p>
“But she told me they loved each other but he ended up getting married to Veronica p>
“She said, ’she was only taking back what belonged to her p>
“How could you agree and not know what you were getting yourself in p>
“Don’t tell me you didn’t know who Jonathan was p>
“How can you not know about the richest jewelry house CEO?” she scoffed.
“That’s the reason I agreed, I knew she was a broke p>
“It was cause she said she would convince Jonathan to accept her, I knew she would be able to give me a million every month p>
I still was bothered how Jen ignored the danger and walked right into her trap.
I exhaled.
“Now,” I was hesitant a bit.
“Do you know who arranged Veronica’s kidnapping p>
She immediately became nervous.
“I don’t know a thing p>
“I wasn’t part of it p>
“But you continued your communication with Imelda, during the time she was faking and even after she was exposed p>
“Care to explain p>
“I did hear a conversation between Imelda and the men p>
“I remember one name, Fred, he was responsible for providing her men p>
“I don’t know his position but I’m certain about his name p>
“John look into the name p>
It didn’t take long for him.
John soon had a business registration, some financial connections and a communication link.
“Do you remember anything else p>
“Sorry, that’s all, but I’m certain about the name p>
“Okay, John said as he found something.
“Fred seems to be connected to a company that seems to be his, but Alex is the hidden partner p>
“Fred handles concealed payments for him p>
“John,” I said.
“Check how much he’s involved with Veronica’s matter p>
I was alarmed by the fact, he may be more than just involved.
“I have a transaction here,” John said.
“Looks like Fred’s business is more than just an ordinary business p>
“There are lots of transaction done during the time Veronica was kidnapped p>
“And he has contact with every man who was deployed at the abandoned building p>
“I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they were his men, given to Imelda cause of Alex p>
I realized this was a coordinated operation and not just an isolated act.
“Did you ever see him p>
“Fred?” Jen questioned.
“I think I do,” Jen said after struggling to remember.
“A man came to meet her over at Harmon Mansion p>
“Harmon Mansion p>
“Yes, I assumed he was working for them, cause he always treated her like a boss p>
“Oh, I remember now,” Jen said.
“From the men deployed over at the abandoned building, one of them was specifically told to take care as if anything happened to Veronica, he said it would be lethal for everyone p>
I immediately understood the kidnapping was not a out of the whim operation.
And maybe this was the reason Imelda went off the grid for so long.
They must have planned before and found Jen as well.
And someone must also have been following Veronica before the kidnapping as it didn’t look like a sudden one.
And they must have also known about Ann’s strength and got men whom they knew she would lose from.
But how did they know about Ann?
