Chapter 417: Chapter 417 – Did you do it?

"Remove his tongue," Robin said coldly. Fear gathered in the eyes of the truck driver per Robin’s instruction.

Robin did not look like he was joking and as one of the men brought out a knife to do Robin’s bidding, the man was shedding tears and begged,

"Please, I’m sorry I lied."

He thought that by telling that lie, he would be allowed to go scot-free or would be able to shift their attention to looking for his brother instead but sadly, that lie was too shallow for anyone to believe.

Robin would have allowed the agent to do as instructed since this was the man who caused the accident.

If he was not ready to talk, then he was just useless to Robin and he wouldn’t mind taking the man’s life, as he almost took away that of Daniel and his unborn child.

"I will not repeat the question," Robin said coldly, his piercing gaze pinned on the man with disdain.

When he recalled the video, all he wanted to do was strangle this man to die but what good would it be without being sure about the person behind it?

Robin did not want to jump to conclusions, recalling how he suspected Martin when Jacob set him up.

"Somebody paid me to do it but I don’t know her name," the truck driver said but Robin already had a clue, and that was the fact that the person behind it was a woman.

’Is it Mara or Zayla?’ Robin thought to himself as he instructed the truck driver,

"Describe her."

Instantly, the driver began to say, "She’s a short plump woman with short curly hair."

Robin frowned. It was neither Zayla nor Mara but the description reminded him of someone. The truck driver’s confession brought the image on Robin’s mind as he asked,

"Does she have green eyes?"

The eyes of the truck driver lit up at the question. It seemed that his work was going to be very easy.

"Yes. Since you know her, you should let me go right?" He asked hopefully. All he did was to take up a job so he did not think that he was guilty of any offense.

For as long as he knew, the person who contracted him should be the one taking responsibility for everything.

The more Robin confirmed the image in his mind, the more elated he felt to be a step closer to finding his enemy.

"Where is she?" he demanded.

"I don’t know. We met in a bar," the truck driver explained helplessly. If he had known that the couple in that car were related to this man, he would have never gone near them.

However, Robin’s expression gave him hope that he would be let go if he confessed everything.

"What is her name?" Robin asked, since he never had the chance to know the name of the woman the truck driver had just described. But the truck driver was equally clueless this time around.

"She didn’t mention her name. I didn’t care about a name anyway. She only paid me to do a job and I did so."

The corner of Robin’s lips curled up mockingly. To this idiot on the floor, Robin’s best friend and sister-in-law’s lives were just a job to him.

"Alright. Untie him," Robin said, causing everyone around to freeze, wondering if he was insane. Though the truck driver hoped that Robin would let him go unharmed, he was still surprised that things were far easier than he thought.

"Where is his truck?" Robin asked. One of the agents responded, "I had my partner drive it here like you requested."

Robin nodded his head calmly. "Okay. Let him go."

The agents were too shocked to do as Robin had said but could not voice it.

"Are you kidding me?" Jacob raged. He was the only one who could talk back to Robin due to the relationship they had.

Robin did not want to immediately reveal his plans to his twin brother, saying, "He is not the culprit but just a pawn. He doesn’t have anything to do with it."

The truck driver was elated, feeling that Robin was kind-hearted. "Thank you, Mr. Jewel. I will take my leave now."

"Your car key," one of the agents said, disdain lacing his tone as disappointment flashed in his eyes towards Robin.

The truck driver took the key and smiled with gratitude. "Mr. Jewel is indeed a very good man."

As he exited the room without Robin changing his mind, Jacob was furious and didn’t hide it.

"How could you let him go? He was paid to kill your best friend and he almost succeeded."

"Daniel is still in a coma and Lizzy is on bedrest. Who knows if the child she is carrying will be normal," he yelled, but to everyone’s amazement, Robin was still calm.

"Do you know your problem, Jacob?" He asked in a soft tone. Jacob shook his head as Robin remarked, "You talk too much. Now let’s go home and see how we can find that woman."

"Who is she anyway?" Jacob asked curiously, wondering if the woman was important enough for Robin to let the truck driver go unharmed.

"The last time I rescued Sabrina from Martin’s mansion, that woman was with Mara. I think she was her caretaker or something of that sort," Robin replied thoughtfully.

Jacob caught a hint and asked him, "So, this is indeed her doing?" It was not hard to connect the dots that Mara was the one behind it.

"Most certainly. I don’t think she could pull this off on her own though."

"But I still don’t agree with you letting him go just like that," Jacob said with disdain. Robin forced a smile and explained, "Jacob, you are my twin brother but you are yet to know the kind of person I am."

Jacob did not immediately understand Robin’s words but his anger did not allow him to argue.

On their way to the house, Jacob and Robin heard the sound of sirens with police vehicles and an ambulance gathered around an accident scene.

Curiously, Jacob asked a bystander, "what happened?"

"There has been an accident. That truck drove into that tree and the driver died on the spot," the bystander replied and walked away, shaking his head in pity.

Jacob instantly glared at Robin as fear covered his eyes. "Did you do it?" He asked Robin after the latter drove past the scene with the same calmness as before.
