NovelEnglishChapter 299 The Interrogation
The couple spoke in perfect harmony, their expressions so animated it was hard to tell they were lying.
Isabel pursed her lips and thought to herself that these two were truly experts at pretending. If she weren't here,
she might have even believed them. "Since you lost her, why didn't you call the police?" Isabel asked.
"We did report this, but they never found her," the middle-aged woman sighed as she spoke.
"Ah, poor girl. When we brought her home, we meant to raise her as our daughter. We never thought something
like this would happen. How tragic!"
The woman's voice faltered at the end, and she even let a few tears fall, her performance so convincing it could
have fooled anyone.
The middle-aged man didn't miss a beat, his face showing deep sorrow.
The group had stopped doubting them, fully believing their words. "Leslie..." Richie murmured in a strained
voice, his eyes bloodshot.
Isabel glanced at Richie, then turned her attention back to the couple.
"Really? Did you call the police? Well, in that case, why don't we go to the station together and check the
records?" Isabel suggested, her voice calm but firm. As soon as Isabel spoke, the couple's faces drained of color,
their expressions frozen in shock.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXander and Richie, sharp as ever, noticed something off from their faces.
Isabel raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on her lips.
"What's wrong? You don't want to go? Or ... do you have something to hide?"
The couple stared at her, their eyes wide.
For sreason, Isabel's gaze felt like it could pierce right through them, sending a chill down their spines and
making goosebumps rise on their skin. "Tell me! Where is Leslie?!" Richie growled, his voice low and urgent.
The couple, terrified, turned pale. They stammered, stepping back as they spoke, "I-it's true. She got lost!"
Isabel turned to Richie and asked,
"Why bother talking to them? They're
hiding something. Let's just take them straight to the station, and
we'll get the truth."
Richie nodded silently.
In a panic, the couple dropped to their knees.
"Please don't take us to the police! We'll tell you everything, we'll tell you!" they begged.
"Back then... w-we..."
The words barely left their mouths, hesitant and faltering.
Isabel shrugged and warned, "If you're just going to waste our time, | think we should take you straight to the
station."
As soon as Isabel said this, the couple stopped hesitating. They immediately began spilling the truth.
"When we went to the orphanage, we didn't want to adopt a child. We just wanted ... to find a pretty girl to sell."
Before the woman could even finish, Richie angrily kicked her to the ground.
"You! How dare you?!" Richie screamed, his eyes filled with fury.
