Chapter 1142 - 1142

The plan was supposed to be perfect.

But now there's a problem.

It needs to be remedied immediately.

The most critical issue is that these two female officers, Kane Keating had met both of them, and both were brought over by Grady Sawyer.

Once the incident is exposed,

Kane Keating will definitely disclose this situation.

If at that point the Commission for Discipline Inspection intervenes, then Grady Sawyer's suspicion naturally cannot be ruled out.

Rather than being passively beaten,

it would be better to take the initiative.

Thus, Grady Sawyer wrote an anonymous report, stating that he had long-term inappropriate relationships with these two officers, and their deaths were also related to him.

After all, he wasn't the one who killed them.

Even if the Commission investigates, they won't find any issues, and if the Commission is a bit clever and follows the clues, Kane Keating will surface, ironically turning their hopes for cunning against them.

"Then why did Heriberto Sutton end up dead later? Did he find something you all didn't want him to discover?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Grady Sawyer nodded.

He let out a long sigh.

And said, "What happened later confirmed the saying, 'If one wants to keep something secret, one must not do it.' Courtney Childers, that woman, despite her freewheeling nature, kept a diary—a fact we were completely unaware of. After Heriberto Sutton intervened in the investigation, he soon found a notebook in her home."

On the newest page of that diary,

Courtney Childers detailed the 'special mission' Grady Sawyer assigned her.

When Alexis Lewis got this information, she immediately panicked, and in desperation, she could only ask Alexander Camden for help.

Over the years,

Alexis Lewis had been cultivating her own power,

not only in both legal and illegal circles but also in some factions within the province.

Among them, Alexander Camden was one of her lovers.

After Heriberto Sutton discovered the critical evidence,

Alexander Camden immediately found him and negotiated, promising some benefits if he stopped his investigation.

Heriberto Sutton was quite unyielding,

and he didn't agree to the request.

In such a situation, unable to do otherwise, they had no choice but to send someone to finish him off.

Grady Sawyer had long known that Heriberto Sutton had a habit of morning jogging, so naturally, the task of murder was carried out by Iron.

Therefore,

Heriberto Sutton's death was by no means an accident,

but a meticulously planned murder.

By this point,

the mystery of Case 626 had been unraveled.

The meeting room was filled with sighs.

Looking at Alexis Lewis, from initial fear to this point, she was already wearing a look of despair.

With a loud bang,

Colter Hall slammed his palm on the table.

Angrily, he said, "Comrade Alexis Lewis, isn't this too outrageous? The leadership has been generous to you, and yet you wanted to harm his son. What were you thinking?"

The reason he spoke these words

was to show his attitude of protecting the leader's interests.

But Stanley Keating didn't appreciate it,

He stood up directly and said, "Alright then, I've understood the case proceedings. You all continue, I'm leaving now."

Generally, at this point, people would want to find out why Alexis Lewis did what she did.

But Stanley Keating seemed to know it all and did not care about the reasons behind it.

Isn't this quite peculiar?

The State Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Ian Hughes also stood up and said, "Secretary Keating, don't you want to know why Comrade Alexis Lewis treated Kane Keating this way?"

A trace of panic flashed across Stanley Keating's face.

He said, "Precisely because it involves my son Kane, according to principles, I must avoid participating."

Dirk Carter smiled slightly,

And said, "Secretary Keating, no need to avoid the matter. In this case, Comrade Kane Keating is merely a victim. Even if he had a romantic fling with Courtney Childers, he is single, and it doesn't constitute any violation of ethics or discipline."

With this statement as a preface,

Stanley Keating suddenly couldn't find an excuse,

So he sat back down in frustration.

Dirk Carter stood up,

Scanning everyone present,

He said, "I think everyone still has a question now. Why did Comrade Alexis Lewis do this? Why did she set such a big trap for Comrade Kane Keating?"

Although nobody answered,

some people nodded slightly.

Dirk Carter said, "Alright, let me start by telling you a story."

It all has to go back to the younger days of Alexis Lewis.

Back when she was a student at Novaria University of Finance and Economics, a top student in finance.

That year,

Stanley Keating was the mayor of Prospera City.

By chance,

Stanley Keating went to Novaria University of Finance and Economics for research.

At that time, Alexis Lewis, as a student representative, had a cordial conversation with Stanley Keating.

And it was at that moment that the young and beautiful Alexis Lewis caught Stanley Keating's eye.

However, at that time,

nothing inappropriate happened between them.

A few months later,

Stanley Keating was meeting foreign guests at a hotel,

When he suddenly found the financially savvy and fluent-in-foreign-languages Alexis Lewis had been arranged to serve as an interpreter by his side, and that night,

the two crossed boundaries and engaged in a merging of minds and bodies.

Of course,

this wasn't an accident,

but something Alexis had pre-planned.

She was always a "transparent" woman.

She knew that merely relying on her own efforts to change her fate was a challenging task.

If she could lean against a towering tree, she could save at least ten years of effort.

This led to her second chance meeting with Stanley Keating.

Which resulted in their bodily collision.

After graduating from university,

With Stanley Keating's help,

Alexis Lewis secured a position at the Upper Lake District Finance Department.

At 27 years old,

She unexpectedly became pregnant.

Stanley Keating asked her to abort the child.

But she was unwilling,

insisting on carrying the child to term.

However, having a child out of wedlock would severely impact her future prospects.

In sheer desperation,

Under Stanley Keating's arrangement, she was married to Eldon Walsh, who was then the Executive Deputy General Manager of the Huajian Third Bureau.

Speaking of Eldon Walsh, he was always Stanley Keating's subordinate, and his career was closely tied to Stanley Keating. Since the leader arranged it this way, naturally, Eldon Walsh had no objections.

And just like that,

he took Alexis Lewis as his wife.

Of course,

this woman didn't belong to him at all.

The marriage was simply a cover for Stanley Keating's child.

The benefits Eldon Walsh received were also quite apparent.

The following year,

He was promoted to Secretary and Director of the party committee of the Huajian Third Bureau, achieving a transformation from deputy director level to director level.

With the cover provided by Eldon Walsh's identity,

Alexis Lewis's career advancement naturally distanced itself from Stanley Keating's shadow. After some maneuvering, Alexis Lewis's career began to climb step by step. Everyone thought it was due to Eldon Walsh, not knowing the true powerhouse behind Alexis Lewis was Stanley Keating.

With what she had already gained, Alexis Lewis was not satisfied.

She wanted even greater benefits.

Not just for herself, but also for her son.
