However, the police told her the harsh reality. “Miss Reiss will not come forward. This case was a commission by the
lawyer. You should face the facts now, Miss Aguirre. You must pay the price for your mistakes.”
At once, panic crawled all over her face. Forgetting that she was a criminal, she stood up to grab the police officer’s
sleeve. ‘No, no! Please, let me see Ellen! I really need to see her.”

abroad, would break the law.
“Okay, okay, I’ll be there soon. I’m coming right now.” He was so shocked that he couldn’t speak properly. After he
hung up the phone, he called out to Olivia, “We need to go to the police station in the city.”
