As nced at Arton and nodded. "Let him go. He has no connection to the suspect!"


    Arton was relieved and said, "Thank you."


    The policeman guarding Mnie looked unwilling as he released Arton from the handcuffs.


    I asked sternly, "Aren''t you going back?"


    Arton nced at me hesitantly. Eventually, he walked away in a hurry.


    I understood his feelings. He wanted to stay and wait for news about Mnie.


    Cane walked in and reported to As, "She must not have left. We checked all the exits, and no one matching her description had left. She couldn''t have changed clothes in that short timeframe." "Check for Eugene''s ward," As immediately ordered.


    Cane quickly left and soon returned, saying, "Special ward 1203."


    As''s face lit up, and he said, "Come with me."


    With As''smand, everyone followed him, walking briskly outside. Lauren and I also followed behind them.


    I questioned As, "Are you saying she might be in her father''s room?"


    "The most dangerous ce is often the safest. Understand?" As spoke in an indulgent tone, his eyes reflecting an affectionate light.


    "Why didn''t I think of that?" I couldn''t help but sigh.


    Soon, I validated As''s words. When we reached the door of room 1203, I couldn''t resist picking up my pace and curiously peeking inside.


    As expected, I saw Liora sitting calmly by her father''s hospital bed, lookingposed as she helped him drink water.


    However, her eyes kept ncing toward the door, and she caught sight of me.


    The moment she saw me through the small ss window on the door, her expression froze, and her hand trembled.


    I couldn''t help but scoff. I pushed the door open and confidently walked in.


    As said softly, "Wait."


    Liora remainedposed, looking at me with a nonchnt expression. "Oh! What brought you here, Ms.. Chloe? Coming to visit my father? I don''t recall us having that kind of rtionship."


    As she spoke, she appeared calm. However, her face turned slightly pale, and she gulped involuntarily.


    With his cloudy eyes, the old man in the hospital bed stared at me. He had be a skeletal figure, yet his eyes gleamed with malevolence.


    I walked in gently, looking at Eugene


    on the bed. "Truth be told, I''m not here to your father. As you said,


    I don''t think we have that kind of rtionship. I''m just here for the show."


    Liora''s eyes instantly filled with hostility as she snarled, "What do you mean? Don''t give me that ambiguous crap."


    The old man in the bed also looked at me sternly, rebuking, "Who the hell are you? How dare youe into my room? Get out!"


    As confidently stepped into the room.


    Standing tall and imposing by Eugene''s bedside, As looked down at him, his tone chilling as he said, "She is Mrs. Pierce. She''s only here because your daughter hasmitted a crime. I brought her here to witness how your daughter Will face justice." Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    When Eugene''s gaze met As''s aloof eyes, his arrogance toward me disappeared. After hearing As''s words, his body straightened even more.


    He drawled, "You...are As... Pierce?"


    As, standing at the head of his bed with an air of disdain, stared directly at the man in the bed. "Yes, I am As Pierce."


    Eugene''s face showed a strange expression. "You''re..."


    "We finally meet, huh?"


    Eugene''s face turned pale in an instant.
