Chapter 631

Chapter 631:

Exhaling a smoke ring, he continued, “I despise that waste of space to the core. Taking orders from him for even one more day feels like torture. I’ve been wanting to kill him, but I know it will only make my life more difficult. So, I’d rather have you do it for me.”

Finally, everything became clear to Ashton. “So you killed Craig, the mole of the Carter family, and deliberately helped me expose Zane—all to get me to cooperate with you?”

Red Jack nodded admittedly. “The resort incident was also arranged by Fraser. But I deliberately did a sloppy job. Otherwise, getting that woman out safely would have been much harder for you.”

Ashton thought for a moment. Then, he asked, “How do you plan to cooperate with me?”

In response to Ashton’s question, Red Jack immediately took out an envelope from somewhere and tossed it to Ashton.

“This contains a list of all the moles Fraser embedded in Staville’s government agencies. If you can find a way to capture them one by one, it will definitely cripple Fraser’s plans. By then, the organization will be forced to turn against him.”

Ashton took the envelope, still skeptical. But when he saw the documents inside, his expression slightly changed.

At this time, Red Jack stepped forward, patted Ashton’s shoulder, and said with a smile, “This will only be a one-time cooperation. Honestly, I will only feel the joy of being alive if I can kill a powerful opponent like you. So, after Fraser is taken care of, I’ll start taking you seriously. Next time we meet, either you or I will die. I hope you can give me the kind of fun I’m looking for. Goodbye for now.”

Ashton opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But the words died on his lips when he realized Red Jack had already vanished into the dense cover of the woods.

For some members of the Carter family with ulterior motives, Craig’s death was a rare opportunity—a chance to finally bring down Abrial.

To them, Abrial had always been an ill-fated presence in the family, and lately, she had been drawing far too much attention.

Within just two months, the new company Abrial cofounded with Ashton had grown into a well-known rising enterprise in Staville.

If things continued at this pace, Abrial would soon be a serious contender for the family’s next head.

But just as certain family members were preparing to oust Abrial, using the accusation that Ashton had murdered Craig, the police issued an unexpected statement.

Evidence from the communication records of Zane, a recently assassinated officer, revealed a disturbing truth: Zane had conspired with an assassin to kill Craig and frame Ashton for the crime.

With this revelation, Ashton was immediately exonerated and released.

Although many in the Carter family—especially Craig’s parents—were shaken by this outcome, they were forced to hold their discontent in check. The official police statement was binding, and for now, they would have to bide their time, waiting for another opportunity to act.
