INSTA MILLIONAIRE

Chapter 39: (The Undeniable Proof)

[Chapter 39]

"Oh?" Mr. Berkley was interested. The school had promised him fifteen thousand dollars if he could catch the thief. "Who?" He asked.

"Alex!" Cathy spat out the name.

When Mr. Berkley had talked about the stolen money earlier, a thought had occurred to her. Did Alex take the money? Alex used to be a poor loser who couldn't afford a decent meal but lately, everything has changed.

He took Emma to a posh restaurant for a thousand-dollar meal and donated another one hundred thirty thousand dollars without hesitation.

Is this something a loser like him could ever afford to do?

Alex had said that he'd won one hundred fifty thousand on the lottery, but he's already spent more than that.

Where did he get the money? Cathy had not been able to figure it out.

She thought, but now, everything's clear. It must be Alex that stole Mr. Morgan's money.

Hmph, Alex, you idiot, you were stupid enough to show off the stolen money in front of me. You've been enjoying yourself, haven't you? But just wait. This time, I'll ruin your reputation for good.

"Why do you think it's him? Do you have any evidence?" Mr. Berkley was still confused.

Cathy sneered and told Mr. Berkley about Alex's extravagant behaviour the last few days.

"Mr. Berkley, not only did Alex invite Emma Lee to De Luca's restaurant for a meal worth one thousand dollars, but he also bought six or seven items of expensive designer clothing for his girlfriend in the Autumn Beauty Boutique. That adds up to more than ten thousand, and Alex also donated one hundred thirty thousand dollars to the mountain village charity."

"It's true." Mr. Berkley responded after listening to her explanation. He was shocked. The total was over one hundred forty thousand dollars. How could that poor student Alex afford all that?

But he didn't dare just take Cathy's word for it; he needed more proof. He immediately called Luke and Darren to see if they would corroborate her story.

They both backed up what Cathy had said. Alex had spent well more than one hundred thousand dollars in the last few days. Mr. Berkley was now almost certain that Alex was the person who stole Mr. Morgan's money.

"Mr. Berkley, let's hurry up and call the police to arrest him." Cathy's eyes flashed with viciousness.

"Don't worry, I'm taking this very seriously," Mr. Berkley replied. He was an experienced teacher and shrewd. He thought carefully for a few minutes and said, "Let's go to the General Hospital first and speak with Mr. Morgan to find out exactly what happened. Once we have more evidence, I'll call the police."

"All right, let's go now," Cathy urged him. If the police spoke to Mr. Morgan before they did, they might arrest him.

Mr. Berkley drove the car quickly toward the hospital with Cathy in the passenger seat.

Meanwhile, Debbie had been sitting beside Luke Morgan in his ward. Her face was tense with anxiety.

"Mr. Morgan, how can anyone be so evil to steal this money? And why would they frame you?" she questioned.

Debbie was fretting on Luke's behalf. She looked extremely worried.

Luke, on the other hand, looked fairly relaxed. He seemed calm and composed in the blue and white hospital gown, although his face was still pale.
