Chapter 186 Drink Less
At nearly ten o’clock, a group of people came out of the restaurant.
Everyone there drank except for Yuliana and another girl called Amber Hudson.
Although Yuliana had a driver’s license, she had never been on the road. Now that she was pregnant, she dared not drive alone.
Hence, she contacted several chauffeurs.
There was no way Christopher’s sports car could fit three people in it. Because of that, Yuliana asked the chauffeur to take Raymond home using Christopher’s car. Meanwhile, she and Christopher went back to Raymond’s car.
She did not get in the car with Christopher until the others left.
After getting in the car, Christopher adjusted his posture and leaned his head on Yuliana’s shoulder.
Yuliana touched his face and asked softly, “Do you want to buy something to ease your hangover?”
Shutting his eyes, Christopher grabbed her hand and kissed it repeatedly. Feeling tipsy, he murmured in a hoarse voice, “No. It’s fine.”
His face was still flushing.
Yuliana said, “I read somewhere on the internet that people who flush when they drink might have trouble. digesting alcohol completely.”
Christopher chuckled and responded, “Well. So?”
“So, you should drink less in the future. It’s not good for your health.”
Christopher opened his eyes to glance at her. “Are you telling me what to do?”
Yuliana met his eyes and asked, “I can’t do that?”
Christopher played with her fingers and bit her ring finger. “Of course, you can. You’re my wife,”
She smiled.
The New Year’s Day holiday was over. Soon, it would be the end of the semester.
The final exam fell on the 10th of January.
There was only a week or so until the day arrived.
After the final exam, Yuliana planned to visit Damian before going to Jeahron with Christopher.
The last time Yuliana saw Damian was before she got divorced from Harry.
Ever since Damian got imprisoned, he did not want Yuliana to visit him there.
He would put on a long face and throw a tantrum at Yuliana each time she went.
Nonetheless, Yuliana knew that Damian refused to let her see his condition in jail. He did not want Yuliana to waste her energy on him.
“Twenty years… I don’t know if he can survive until the day he gets out of prison,” thought Yuliana. Nonetheless, nothing ever turned out as planned, as something happened in Romdale before the final exam.
Yorick passed away.
According to the news from Romdale, Yorick ended his life by jumping off a building.
Immediately after finding out, Christopher rushed to Romdale.
Before Yorick died, Christopher managed to obtain evidence of Yorick’s crimes over the years. He was certain Yorick would be arrested once the police got the evidence.
However, Christopher had never expected him to end his life at that critical point.
Christopher arrived in Romdale the next day. Without delay, the police proceeded to take his statement.
The police were in the midst of investigating the incident. Naturally, they would not reveal any details to him. After Christopher finished his statement, he called Cameron to the office to try to understand the entire
situation.
According to Cameron, Yorick jumped down from the top floor of the building. The security guard on duty heard the loud noise at night and came out to check, only to see Yorick’s body shattered into pieces. He was bleeding terribly, and his internal organs were splattered all over the ground.
The security guard witnessed the incident but was so terrified to do anything. Subsequently, another security guard rushed to call the police.
The police sealed the scene once they arrived and started an investigation. Not only that, but the police also interrogated the people who were close to Yorick in the company.
After hearing Cameron’s words, Christopher tapped his feet and turned the chair. “Where’s Lincoln?” Cameron replied, “He was called to
e police station last night and only came out in the morning. He should be in his office now.” After a pause, he added, “He must be quite surprised about Yorick’s death.”
Just now, Cameron greeted Lincoln when Lincoln came back to the office. However, he looked dispirited, ignoring Cameron as he went to his room.
Timothy and Howard rushed to the office about an hour later and entered Lincoln’s room. They were inside for about ten minutes before coming out.
Cameron could tell that Yorick’s death made Lincoln nervous.
Nonetheless, it made sense.
After all, Yorick was Lincoln’s support in the company. Because of that, Lincoln could do whatever he wanted. Without Yorick, Lincoln would be having a hard time in the company.
Furthermore, he had committed a number of crimes together with Yorick. His future would be doomed if someone found out what they did.
Cameron asked, “Mr. Solace, do you want to take this opportunity to hand over the evidence to the police?” Christopher shot Cameron a glance, knowing well what Cameron was thinking.
Now that Yorick had died, it was the best time to hand over the evidence to the police. With that, Lincoln, Howard, and Timothy would not be able to survive for long. Losing so many high-level executives at once, Romdale would need recruiting new people for those positions.
Withdrawing his gaze, Christopher got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked down, only to see the bloodstains near the guard line.
That was what Yorick left behind.
Meanwhile, Cameron stood a few steps away. Watching Christopher’s back, he could not help but feel slightly anxious.
When Christopher first came to Romdale, Cameron shared the same thought with Lincoln and the rest, assuming that Christopher was nothing but a useless silver-spooned kid.
Later, he was promoted by Christopher when he was under Lincoln. Christopher also made Cameron switch sides without much effort. It was at that moment Cameron realized that he was wrong about him.
In fact, Christopher was observant enough to study one’s intention. He could tell that Cameron refused to submit and wanted more.
So, he seduced Cameron to make him work for him willingly.
Now that it was the right time, he knew that Cameron would do anything to seize the opportunity.
Christopher kept silent for a long time and finally said, “Give the evidence to the police.”
“Yorick’s dead. It’s useless to retain the evidence anymore. It’s also now the best time to pass the evidence to the police,” he contemplated.
Christopher turned to look at Cameron and commanded, “Let the public know that Yorick ended his life to escape punishment for his crimes.”
Hearing that, Cameron was stunned for a moment. He was puzzled, but he did not ask further. He merely hummed in acknowledgment and went out.
Other than Lincoln, Howard, and Timothy, some high-ranking executives were taken away by the police the following day.
It was already the end of the year, but things kept happening in Romdale. Christopher had no other choice. but to stay there, hoping he could keep things under control in Romdale. He spent time there cooperating with the police investigation and restructuring the company’s affairs.
Meanwhile, the students were on winter break in Juxshire, and so was Yuliana.
Ever since Christopher went to Romdale, they did not get to talk to each other as often. Christopher was too busy. Besides, Yuliana would be sleeping when he gave her a call around two or three o’clock in the morning.
They only texted each other occasionally, and Christopher’s replies were not constant.
Yuliana went to visit Damian alone.
Compared to half a year ago, Damian had lost weight and grown more gray hair.
Damian flashed a darkened expression and uttered, “Didn’t I tell you not to come again, Yuliana?” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Pursing her lips, Yuliana answered, “No one will come to see you other than me.”
The corner of Damian’s lips curled up slightly. “I don’t need anyone to visit me. I don’t have to worry about anything here. There is food for me here, and I have doctors to look after my health too. I’m happy here.”
Yuliana fixed her stare at him before asking, “It’s fine if you don’t want me to see you. How about your grandchild, then?”
