Chapter 158

I smirked, "Let's see how Eugene acts tomorrow. If he doesn't play ball, we'll just send him to jail. We don't need him in our family."

Savannah agreed, "Yeah, I think we should. Keeping someone like him around isn't safe."

I nodded, "You're right. I'll think about it. For now, let's keep him locked up. I'll let Mom know about this tomorrow."

After that, we each went to our rooms to sleep. At dawn, I went to find my mom.

I told Kelly everything that happened last night. She was furious, "I've always known Eugene was trouble, but I thought as long as he didn't do anything, it would be fine. But now he's crossed the line. We can't keep him around. Call the police and send him to jail."

I was a bit surprised. Kelly usually seemed kind and gentle, but she could be quite decisive when needed.

"Alright, Mom. I'll do as you say. I'll call the police and have Eugene taken to the station."

I left Kelly's room and went straight to Eugene's room, unlocking the door and stepping inside.

Eugene was in almost the same position as last night, squatting on the floor, eyes bloodshot, and looking extremely pained.

"Have you thought it over?"

Eugene suddenly looked up, glaring at me viciously, "Did you kill Elora?"

"Did you push her off the building because you were jealous she was with Brandon? And her child, you knew it was Brandon's, so you left him by the sea on purpose. You killed them both, didn't you?"

I sneered. Good thing I never planned to keep Eugene around. Even now, he was still so delusional.

"You're overthinking it. I didn't have time to touch Elora or Jason. Everything was done by the Jordan family. If you don't believe me, you can call the police and have them investigate. The truth will come out eventually."

"Elora was just a mistress. I wouldn't dirty my hands by pushing her. Why would I take such a risk and create unnecessary trouble for myself?"

Eugene gritted his teeth, glaring at me, "Elora wasn't a mistress. Shut up!"

I sneered again, "If she wasn't a mistress, what was she? Didn't she seduce Brandon? She even maliciously transferred our company's assets. Did you think I didn't know? Even if she were alive, I'd have sent her to jail. She deserved a long sentence. She only escaped punishment by dying."

"I'll tell you this, I'll make sure you end up in jail too. Reflect on the disaster your family brought upon themselves by getting involved with Brandon's family."

Eugene's vicious expression turned to one of pain. He clutched his hair and screamed, "I didn't want this either. I told her to stay away from Brandon, but she wouldn't listen."

"What could I do? I had to work for Brandon to make him treat Elora better. What else could I do?"

He was almost shouting at me. Savannah rushed into the room, looking worried, "Ms. Sharp, did he do anything to you?"

I shook my head, "No, he didn't. Call the cops now. I think he's already spilled the beans. Let's not waste any more time and just get him out of here."

Savannah nodded and went to make the call.

It wasn't long before the police showed up.

I handed over all the evidence I had collected. They didn't hesitate to arrest Eugene and take him to the station. I went with them to give my statement.

In the interrogation room, Eugene confessed, and I detailed all the evidence he had gathered against our family.

Afterward, the officer told me, "We still need to go through some procedures. We'll notify you when it's done. You can go home for now."

"Oh, and about Brandon..."

If the evidence was solid, Brandon would also be summoned, which could alert him. I wondered if we could avoid summoning Brandon for now.

The officer nodded, "Don't worry. The Skyview City police have already informed us that the Jordan family is connected to an international organ trafficking and drug smuggling ring. We're not to move against them yet. We'll only detain Eugene for now and won't summon Brandon. Rest assured."

I felt relieved and nodded. I left the police station.

As I drove home, I remembered Kathy was leaving today. I hurried back and found her already packed and saying goodbye to my mom and the others.

Brett had his arm around Kathy's waist, looking reluctant, "Ms. Patel, even though you sleep all the time, I'll still miss you."

Kathy looked exasperated, "What are you talking about? I don't sleep all the time."

"But since you said you'll miss me, I'll forgive you. Give me a kiss."

Brett jumped up and kissed her on the right cheek, then the left.

Seeing me return, Kathy couldn't help but complain, "What took you so long? I've been waiting for you. I could have been at the airport by now."

I apologized and hugged her, "I had some things to take care of. Be safe, and call me when you land, okay?"

Kathy nodded, "Don't worry. I know Skyview City like the back of my hand. I won't get lost."

"Alright, I'm off. Take care and rest well. See you in Skyview City."

I nodded and said goodbye. I had Savannah drive Kathy to the airport.

When she returned, I asked, "Did Kathy leave?"

Savannah nodded, "Yes, she said you should take your time and not rush back. She's keeping an eye on things in Skyview City and watching Brandon."

I smiled wryly, "Kathy worries too much. I wouldn't use her to monitor Brandon. Besides, you have people helping me, right? She could put herself in danger."

Savannah laughed, "I told Ms. Patel the same thing, but she seems determined to help you."

I shook my head, "Alright, I'll talk to her when she calls to let me know she arrived safely. I won't let her get involved in this. It's too dangerous."
