NovelEnglish“Huh? This criminal is living in a mansion?" Austin frowned.
He went closer and noticed the gate was wide open.
"They don't even have anyone guarding the place? Aren't they worried he might escape?"
Austin entered the mansion and immediately saw two people in the living room. One of them was young and
handsome, sitting on the couch, and the other was a middle-aged man, standing respectfully opposite the young
man.
The middle-aged man was Liam, the chief of police.
Ethan had called him over yesterday to arrest Rory, and today, Liam was back to finish up spaperwork.
Catching Rory had been a major achievement.
Hearing footsteps, Liam turned around and spotted Austin. Not recognizing him, Liam assumed he was a friend
of Ethan's and quickly wrapped up his notes. "That will be all. I'll be on my way," Liam said, gathering his things
to leave.
Rory was sentenced to death already, but Liam wanted to interrogate him more, hoping to get more information.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAustin watched as Liam left before he switched his attention back to Ethan on the couch.
"You're Ethan Rivers?"
He had heard of Ethan from rumors on the internet, and that would be his first
tmeeting the man in person.
"In the flesh." Ethan nodded.
Austin went up and took a seat opposite Ethan. He then pulled out a business card and handed it to Ethan.
"I'm a psychologist."
Ethan glanced at the card, noting the name.
"This is the countryside, not the city. Are you lost?" Ethan joked.
Austin narrowed his eyes. "I chere looking for you. It's not about Stephen Quinn. He's recovered, by the way.
| bet you didn't expect that. I'm actually here to talk to you about Rachel Lowe."
He looked at Ethan. “When she cto you on her wedding day, you refused to take her away. Do you have any
idea how much pain she's in right now?"
Ethan found Austin's words amusing.
"You were able to temporarily cure Stephen, and | thought that meant you were smart. But | guess |
overestimated you. You believed everything she said to you, didn't you?"
Austin frowned. "What do you mean?"
Ethan pulled his phone out. After a quick search, he slid his phone to Austin.
Austin skimmed through it, and his eyes widened in shock. On the screen, a
search result popped up: 'How was Ethan Rivers caught?"
The first result showed that Rachel was the one who reported him.
Austin was shocked. He realized he had been tricked.
Ethan took his phone back. "Now do you understand? She's just like Stephen. Everything they're going through
right now-they brought it upon themselves. Do you really think Stephen has recovered?
"You tricked him with lies, thinking it would cure him, but once the lies are exposed, have you considered how
much damage it will do to him?"
Austin's heart started to race. He did not know how Ethan found out that he had used lies to cure Stephen.
A wave of unease settled over him as he stammered, "What do you want?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEthan said, "I want to tell you two things. First, | know where Snow is, but she has given up on Stephen. Second,
Jeremy is still alive and disappointed in Stephen."
Blood drained from Austin's face.
Stephen's recent recovery was built on the belief that the real Snow still supported him and the determination
not to let Jeremy down. If Snow said to his face that she no longer loved him, or Jeremy said he was
disappointed, what would it do to Stephen? It would kill him!
"You can't!" Auston bolted up immediately, his body shaking. "He can't take it!"
