Owen adjusted his sses, his expression unreadable.
The next moment, Corley crossed the street, heading towards Roseanne. "Was about to head up to see you, didn''t expect to bump into you here." "Something up?"
"Yeah," he nodded, his face somewhat serious. "Can we talk somewhere else? Is that okay?"
Roseanne nced at Owen, and Corley''s gaze naturally followed.
"Fancy seeing you again, Mr. Reynolds."
Owen replied, "Not so fancy, considering you''re here for Roseanne. It''s easy to run into me."
Corley paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Owen met his gaze squarely, calm and unflinching.
"Half an hour, will that do?" Roseanne checked her watch.
"That''s fine."
"Let''s sit down at that coffee shop across the street."
Around here, there were mostly coffee shops and restaurants, and it was still quiet before the evening sses ended and students started pouring out.
So, it was rtively peaceful.
Roseanne got straight to the point as she sat down. "What''s going on? Talk to me."
Corley started, "While investigating those incidents in the Maldives, our legal team gathered some evidence. But since we couldn''t directly link it to the case at hand, it wasn''t included in the report."
"I stumbled upon something new while going through it recently, something you might find interesting."
"What''s that?" Roseanne was puzzled.
"Take a look at this..."
Corley passed her a report, highlighting certain sections with a red pen, "Pay attention to the marked areas."
As Roseanne flipped through it, her expression grew more serious.
Corley continued, "See? Whether it was the leaking oxygen tanks or the venomous snake popping out of a gift box, ording to the feasibility analysis here, it''s unlikely Millie could have pulled this off alone. The timeline from the surveince also supports this."
Roseanne frowned. "You''re saying Millie had an aplice?"
"It seems highly likely, given the investigation."
"Of course," Corley gathered his thoughts, "pursuing this further might not hold much legal weight now."
After all, the local police had officially dered they wouldn''t proceed with the case.
Corley added, "But I choose to tell you because you deserve to know the full story. Plus, it''s a heads-up, Millie is not as simple as she seems. There could be others behind her."
"If possible, it''s best to avoid contact with her. Also, be wary of your surroundings and stay vignt."
"Call me anytime if somethinges up. I''m always avable, not like I''m worth much anyway."
He spread his hands and shrugged, adopting a carefree demeanor.
Roseanne couldn''t help butugh.
"Mr. Sullivan, you''re too busy for me to bother."
"I am busy, but your bothering is always wee. And..." Corley
her smile, "only yoursContent ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
else gets this privilege"
Roseanne''sughter faded, and she became serious. "Thank you for telling me all this, I appreciate it."
Corley smiled slightly. "It''s no trouble because "
He paused for emphasis: "I''m happy to."
Meeting his intense gaze, Roseanne looked away, "It''s gettingte, I should head back."
"Alright," he stood, picking up his jacket. "Let me walk you."
As they crossed the street, Corley''s gaze suddenly fixed on a spot.
Owen was still there, in the same ce, having not moved an inch...
