Sean had brought back information revealing that Deputy Director Raymond Holt and the head of citizen data, Melissa Marrow, had supported Byron. However, the real mastermind remained elusive.
Deep in thought, As told Sean, "Start investigating from the prison. There''s something fishy about Pierre Keller''s sudden death there. I don''t think his death is that simple, considering what happened to Pierre''s wife and daughter." "I''ve already started looking into all the prison guards who had contact with Pierre," Sean informed As. "I''m checking them one by one."
As nodded and advised Sean, "Keep a close eye on Byron''s contacts. Pay attention to every phone call he makes."
I felt that the situation had reached its climax. The truth was about to be unveiled.
Sean added, "We''ve been monitoring the situation online. Byron seems to be trying to suppress those reports."
"Let it continue to ferment. Intensify the pressure on him," As determinedly instructed. "The more he tries to suppress it, the more we expose him."
Sean grinned wickedly. "Got it. Just watch! I''m heading out..."
"Hold on. Leave the official hotline and reporting mailbox. Keep pushing them constantly and make him nervous!" As added.
Sean whistled and walked out. After a few steps, he noticed that Arnold had no intention of following him. Turning back, he looked at Arnold. "Are youing or not?"
"You go ahead. I''m staying here with my sister." Arnold yfully leaned into the sofa. "Besides, Finn isn''t there anymore, and the food''s not good anyway."
I couldn''t help but chuckle at Arnold''s banter. As I was about to speak, As shot him a stern look. "Don''t you have any backbone at all? Get out of here!"
"Why should I leave? I''m staying here with my sister," Arnold retorted defiantly.
"Immediately. Right now!" As ordered sternly.
Arnold had no choice but to get up reluctantly, leaving behind resentment directed at Finn.
"Finn, you''re all wrapped up in love, personal rtionships, and family. Once the case is solved, who stands to benefit the most? It''s you. You''ll have a wife, and it''ll be a win-win situation. Can''t you read the situation and make a strategic move?" Finn blushed at his words and quickly stood up. "I''m leaving! I''ll go back with you guys, alright?"
After saying that, he informed As, "I''m going back to the other side. Let me know if there''s any update."Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Then, he cast a worried nce upstairs and walked out with Arnold.
Even Lauren couldn''t help but burst intoughter at Arnold''s antics.
The online scrutiny intensified,unching a full-scale investigation. It started from Byron''s sales role at the cable factory, then delved into his connections with Jocelyn and how he met Helen. The unfolding narrative was like an invisible hand untangling the web, reveating eachyer.
When I read it, even I felt a twinge of sympathy for Byron''s nerve-wracking situation.
People began digging into the details of Eric''s car ident.
Everything was unfolding, and I could sense that tonight would be a sleepless night for Gerby.
Beatrice''s mental state seemed to be in good shape. She ate a hearty dinner. But every time I saw her hands and heard her voice, my heart would tighten.
Despite her apparent well-being, she remained pretty silent. She would asionally stare nkly at nothing as if she was carrying a heavy burden.
It wasn''t until Ava finished her call with me that Beatrice took a keen interest. "Is she all grown up now?"
I knew she was referring to my
daughter so I quickly sat beside her
on the bed. After her bath, she no longer had that peculiar smell Instead, she smelled like fresh
flowers.
I opened my phone and showed her the photos of Ava in my album.
She was immediately captivated, and warmth filled her eyes. Lauren watched her attentively from her chair.
"Beautiful! I like her. She looks wonderful!" she eximed, gazing at Ava''s little face.
"Do you want to be her godmother?" I suggested.
She nodded vigorously then looked at me, asking, "Is this... Matthew''s daughter?"
I nodded. "Yes, she''s Matthew''s daughter."
