bFryderyk’s /bmind went nk with a loud buzz. He stopped in his tracks. “What did you just say?”

bLeon/b, as if grabbing onto a lifeline, trembled slightly as excement filled his voice, “saw her kill someone. I was so scared stabbed bwithout /bthinking”

“Who did she kill?” Fryderyk asked.

“Den, the corrupt director from Welenting City,” Leon answered immediately. “Seven years ago, my daughter and were the first ones on the scene

letail from that night.

Even though it had been years, Leon remembered every detail

Leon muttered, “No wonder that little brat ran out to shield her. They must have known each other for a long time?

It hit Leon then–Lily had deliberately led him to misinterpret everything that night.

Overwhelmed by excitement, Lean recounted everything in vivid detail, not skipping a single moment.

“So, you

see herce clearly? You didn’t actually witness her killing him?” Fryderyk asked after hearing him out.

So Leon insisted, “I saw it clearly”

Fryderyk stared at him, his gaze turning cold. “Leon, this isn’t a reason for you to try to kill bAria/bb. /bYou need to understand one thing if you lie under oath, you’re the only one who’ll end up convicted. If you cooperate with the investigation and help us find out the truth, you might get your sentence reduced.”

Leon hesitated for a full five minutes before finally noddingb. /b“Alright… I’ll talk”

The young officer followed behind him, notebook in hand. “Captain Fletcher, what’s our next move?”

“First, pull the files from that old bcase/bb,/b” Fryderyk answered. “Start digging into Aria’s background quietly. Focus especially on Lily’s spending records.”

“What about the woman who hired Leon to kill bAria/b?” the byoung /bofficer asked.

The young officer quickly agreed, then after a moment, sighed heavily. “Captain’s aunt is your actual aunt by marriage. If they find out

“If she’s innocent, I’ll personally go to the Saron family and apologize,” Fryderyk said calmly. “But if she really did kill Den, thew would bdeal /bwith

That was until the board called him. Only then did Daniel realize Liam had never once stepped bfoot /binside thepany.

Daniel swallowed his anger and dialed. “Where are you right now?”

Grandpa, I’m at Hannahh ce,” Liam answered.

Daniel’s temples throbbed with fury. He pped his desk hard. “How long has it been since you went to thepany?”

Liam frore for a second, “Grandpa, I studied medicine. I don’t know how to manage apany. As long as Uncle’s there, it’s fine.”

As Daniel had feared–Liam hadn’t even tried to show up.

Daniel forced himself to calm down. “Aria pulled the Saxon Group out of the coboration. The project in Northside?
