“The deceased family accused you of premeditated murder. Please explain
why you were present at the scene of the accident.”
Roselynn chuckled, ready to respond, but Emmanuel gently patted her hand,
signaling her to let him handle it.
She nodded in response, folding her arms and watching the scene play out.
“Miss Ashton, may I ask your purpose in handling this case?” Emmanuel
asked expressionlessly.
Exasperation immediately overcame Ashton the second Emmanuel spoke. It
had become a reflex for her.
“Hmph, isn’t that obvious? To bring the culprit to justice, of course!”
“But I can’t help feeling you have a strong personal bias.”
“W-What do you mean by that? Are you implying that I’m trying to force you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto confess and make you take the blame?” Ashton stood up, glaring daggers
at Emmanuel.
This time, Emmanuel remained silent while Roselynn burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?”
The siblings infuriated her. She had never encountered such an arrogant pair
in all her years as an officer.
“Hehe, you’re quite cute, Miss Ashton.” Roselynn laughed. “You and my brother
are truly a pair of love-hate enemies. If Manny didn’t have a wife and you
were not inferior to her, I would’ve tried to match you two up.”
“You-” Ashton’s face turned red with anger, and she glared at Roselynn.
I’m cute?! And I’m inferior to Emmanuel’s wife?! Blasphemy!
“Alright, Miss Ashton, if you want to solve the case, please be a bit more
professional.” Not wanting to waste time in this environment, Emmanuel said
directly, “Forgive my bluntness, but if you really have a personal bias and
want us to suffer, I can simply say we were coincidentally passing by, and
then you’ll have no choice but to release us!”
Ashton clenched her teeth. Despite her anger, she still retained her rationality.
She had no evidence pointing to Emmanuel and Roselynn being involved in a
murder, so she couldn’t possibly press charges against them.
She deliberately adopted this posture because she despised Emmanuel and
simply wanted to intimidate him, even if it disgusted him a bit.
“If you’re determined to solve the case, I can provide you with a crucial clue,
but you must correct your attitude,” Emmanuel admonished again.
Ashton was seething with rage. She couldn’t believe the guy dared say that
she had an improper attitude. Look at the kind of attitude he had!
Yet, because she had yet to solve any of the three cases Sage assigned her,
she would be forced to pack up and inherit the family business if she also
failed to solve this case.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo! Ashton didn’t want to accept such a miserable fate. She forced a smile
and said, “Alright, Mr. Lowe, what clue do you have to offer?”
“Hehe, your smile is pretty ugly, Miss Ashton. Personally, I think you look better
when you’re cold-hearted.” Roselynn teased with a chuckle.
Ashton’s smile gradually disappeared, and she wanted to hit someone again
-if only she knew she couldn’t defeat Emmanuel.
“Fine, I’ll tell you when you’ve smiled this once.” Emmanuel didn’t want to
waste any more time. “The right rear tire of Sebastian Oatley’s vehicle was
tampered with. His car had a sudden tire blowout and lost control halfway,
which was no coincidence.”
“What?!” Both women exclaimed in shock, especially Ashton. Her expression
was one of complete surprise. How does he know? I hadn’t shared this
investigation result with anyone! Can he really be the culprit?!
