“Yes, Master Wade!” Don Albert responded, promptly stepping forward. He seized James by the hair and delivered a sharp p to his face. This was the first time James had ever been struck by an outsider, and it ignited a fire of fury within him.


    At that moment, Charlie shot a cold re at James and stated firmly, “You will remain silent unless I grant you permission to speak.”


    James, covering his face, could only nod repeatedly, too intimidated to utter a word.


    Charlie then turned his attention to John Garrett, inquiring, “When Lord Banks issued the order, was it to eliminate Deana and Zara, or just Deana?”


    Without hesitation, John Garrett replied, “Master Wade, Lord Banks instructed me to kill only Deana at that time.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie pressed on with his questioning: “So, was Lord Banks dissatisfied with Zara and felt she was turning against him?”


    “No!” John Garrett assured him without dy. “Lord Banks holds Zara in high regard and often says that she is the smartest and most capable of the Banks family’s generation!”


    James’splexion had turned ghostly pale by this point.


    Charlie cast a nce at him before asking John Garrett, “So, in your view, Lord Banks would never resort to killing Zara, correct?”


    John Garrett affirmed solemnly, “Yes! Master Wade! Despite Lord Banks’s sinister nature, he genuinely loves Zara and would never harm her.”


    With a sigh, John Garrett continued, “Let me tell you, when I discovered Zara in the car in the tunnel, I was terrified. I knew that if Lord Banks found out Zara was dead, he would surely hold me ountable.”


    Charlie nodded thoughtfully and asked, “So you were the one who killed Tate Landry?”<fnb666> Th?s chapter is updated by find?novel</fnb666>


    John Garrett admitted, “Yes, I killed him. I wanted to find out who had instigated him against Zara, but when he insulted me instead of answering, I shot him in a fit of rage.”


    Meanwhile, James, shaken, struggled to maintain hisposure.


    Charlie turned to him, his voice icy, “James, you keep insisting that old man Banks wants Zara dead, but it seems that’s not the case!”


    James quickly attempted to rify, “Well… it’s not entirely clear. I may have made an error.”


    “An error?” Charlie scoffed. “James, you’re lying. You can’t shift the me onto your father like that. Let’s be honest—did you orchestrate this scheme?”


    James insisted, “No, I had nothing to do with it!”


    Charlie replied, “If youe clean, things will be easier for you… Isaac!”


    Isaac Cameron stepped forward immediately, asking, “Master Wade, how can I assist you?”


    Charlie replied casually, “I requested an African hyena. Do you have any leads?”


    “Yes!” Isaac said eagerly. “Aurous Hill Wildlife Park recently acquired a group of African hyenas. The park owner is a good friend of mine and a senior member of my hotel. I can reach out to him and arrange to borrow the hyenas!”


    “Excellent!” Charlie nodded, turning to James with a calm demeanor. “Since you wish to resist, let’s introduce you to the African hyena!”


    Hearing this, James was filled with dread. He had no doubt about Charlie’s resolve; this man was not only impressively strong and resourceful, but his tenacity was equally formidable. If James truly provoked him, he feared the consequences would be dire.
