Ralph’s voice was icy, his eyes subtly darkening. “So, everything you said earlier about your love for


    Celeste turning into hatred was


    bullshit.”


    Harry’s face twisted into a creepy grin. “So what if you found out? I am indeed a fan of Shannon. I’m


    obsessed with her to the point that I’ll do anything for her! Even if it’s killing Celeste!”


    Ralph’s shoulders were shaking with anger. He wished he could charge forward and smash Harry’s


    face.


    “But if you’re wondering about my rtionship with Shannon, well, there’s none. We’re not even


    friends. It’s just me being delusional. I’m willing to do anything for her, including sacrificing myself and


    murder. I’m fine without her knowing any of this.”


    With that, Harry closed his eyes, seeming to have epted his fate.


    Harry only dared make such a bold statement because he knew he could only be charged with


    intentional harm, or at worst, attempted murder, for his crimes. After all, Justin was fine, and Celeste


    remained unharmed. Even if the Thompsons sought revenge, they would be powerless.


    He only felt that it was a pity that he couldn’t fulfill the task Shannon had entrusted him with.


    Ralph was well aware of Harry’s thinking. A wave of rage surged within him, and his eyes turned red


    with fury.


    After a while, he instructed his subordinates to leave, then stood up


    and switched off the recording device.


    “Harry, it’s just the two of us now. Let’s speak freely.”


    Ralph casually paced around the interrogation room. He sat on the table with his hands in his pockets,


    staring at Harry coldly. “You volunteered to be Shannon’s hitman and do her dirty work. Sure. That’s


    your decision. But imagine if there’s something more to your rtionship with Shannon. If this were to


    leak to the media, what would they make of it? What if the Salvadors heard rumors about it? How do


    you think Chairman Salvador would react?”


    “Everyone would assume Shannon sent you to attack Celeste. Chairman Salvador would suspect


    there’s something fishy between the both of you. When that happens and you’re tucked away in prison,


    what about your sweetheart? Her reputation has already taken a hit. If this gets out, she could lose all


    respect, right?”


    Be once told him. ‘To destroy someone, you must first destroy their


    heart!’


    When Harry heard this, his body trembled, causing the handcuffs to clink. His eyes were burning


    crimson as he red at Ralph.


    “You’re a cop! Revealing the details of an ongoing investigation to the media is against the rules! I’ll


    report you!”


    “Do you really believe I’d y by the rules with someone as stubborn and wicked as you?”


    Ralph lifted his chin slightly, exuding fearlessness. “Let me make it clear, Harry. You’ve not only


    provoked me, but the entire Thompson family. Since you dare toy your fingers on Celeste, by all


    means, I’ll make sure both Shannon and you end up in hell together!”

    “That guy is the one who stole it!” Shannon muttered incoherently, her eyes darting around in panic.


    “Back then, when I was filming, I left the ne backstage. When I


    came back, it was gone. It must have been him who stole it!”

    “Is that so? It was stolen, yet he didn’t sell it for money. Instead, it


    was carefully kept until now.” Be couldn’t help but chuckle when


    she heard her wed exnation.


    “How would I know what he decided to do with it?” Shannon realized


    she might not be able to outwit Be’s sharp tongue, so she resorted


    to acting defiant to the end.


    Without concrete evidence, what was Be capable of doing anyway?


    “To be honest, I had someone look into the TS Gem Channel. They


    talked to people who knew Harry back then, and they all said you two


    were very close at that time. He didn’t take any money from you, but


    he was always there for you. He willingly served as your assista


    making sure you were safe and helping you out whenever need


    “Tell me, for a man so infatuated with you, why would he steal fro


    you? And even if he did, it’s probably because he’s in love with you


    Mrs. Salvador.”


    Be’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a smirk that sent


    shivers down Shannon’s spine. “So, he’s willing to do anything for you, including murder.”


    “Be! Shut up!” Shannon was drenched in cold sweat, her voice


    trembling.


    The gazes of the onlookers gradually became skeptical andplex as they watched her.
