My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back
Chapter 286: No Strong Evidence To Catch Her
Be and Sam looked tense as they were curious about the result.
After Leo saw Be and Sam in return, he continued, "Well, this is so annoying! There is no evidence to change Laura Kiels’ status from a witness to a suspect. So, after she was questioned for seven hours, the police let her leave the station."
Be’s shoulders dropped upon hearing the news. Although she had anticipated it, it still left her feeling upset.
However, she didn’t say anything. Be was busy looking for other ways to catch Laura without letting her get away with this case.
"Damn it! That damn woman is so slippery. How did she get away with it?" Leo cursed, annoyed. He had hoped that Laura’s status would change to that of the main suspect in the nder case, but it did not. She got away quite easily.
"Maybe she’s just lucky! Hard to beat luck, you know," Sam said, just as annoyed as Leo. "If Robert hadn’t died, then that woman wouldn’t be this calm."
Leo suddenly turned to Sam as he remembered something.
"By the way, Sam... How is your investigation going? Any significant progress? Did you find anything?" Leo knew Sam and his team in Sentinel Network had tried to find a clue about Robert’s sudden death.
"Nothing so far, Man! It’s really frustrating me…" Sam took a deep breath before continuing. "Nothing in the crime scene can lead us to something important. Whoever cleans it has done an incredible job."
"Damn! Laura Kiels is so lucky to have found some professional hitmen backing her evilness..." Leo muttered, shaking his head and looking at Be. His brows slowly furrowed as he looked at her; she seemed lost in her thoughts.
Just before Leo wanted to ask her opinion, Be lifted her head and met Leo’s gaze.
"Well... Laura Kiels is not lucky, guys..." Be faintly smiled when she saw Leo and Sam confused hearing her words.
"It’s just like you said, Leo. I’m sure Laura has some good hands helping her. Someone with powerful connections and experience in the criminal world is helping her carry out her dirty deeds," she continued.
Instantly, Leo and Sam gasped in surprise at Be’s sureness. At first, they just thought about it but didn’t really believe it. Still, after hearing how confident Be was about her analysis, they both started to believe that Laura Kiels had a lot of help from someone with professional criminal backgrounds.
"Someone backing her up... Are you sure only one person helps her, Boss? Do you have any idea who it is, Boss?" Leo looked at Be curiously.
"Man, is it Jessica Sinir?" Sam chimed in while looking at Leo. However, a secondter, he corrected his statement. "Well...it’s impossible for Jessica Sinir to help her, right?"
"Tsk... Tsk... Sam, of course, not her. How could Jessica Sinir help her!? Did you forget Sinir Group sued Laura Kiels!?" Leo said as he turned his gaze back to Be. "Boss, who is the person behind Laura?
I guess you already know..."
"Ah, you’re right...I forgot about that!" Sam nodded and also waited for Be to answer.
Be smiled bitterly. After thinking for a moment, she realized she needed to do a deeper investigation into Laura Kiels’ circle.
She might find something that could lead her to the person who helped Laura.
"I’m sure it’s only one person, guys. But this person has strong experience and powerful henchmen. And no, I have no idea who that person would be. I desperately want to find out about that person." Be responded.
When she saw them slightly disappointed, she dismissed them both.
"Alright, you both can continue to work. I need to speak with Stefan. I hope he can help us find that person."
Be stood up and walked towards Stefan’sputer room.
...
The door opened when Be was about to knock on the door.
Stefan was surprised to see Be standing right before hisputer room.
She looked beautiful as usual in her casual ck cropped pants, matching shirt, and khaki outerwear hanging on her shoulders. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. Even though she didn’t apply makeup, only cherry-colored lip gloss, she still looked stunning.
His smile grew broader, and he greeted her excitedly, "Hi, Sis... What a coincidence. I was just about toe down to see you. What brings you up here?" he asked, scratching his messy hair.
"I need to discuss a few things with you, Stefan." Be smiled back at him.
Stefan said nothing but stepped aside to let her into hisputer room. After she entered, he closed the door and joined her in the sitting area.
"Sister Be, why does your expression look annoyed? Has something offended you, Sis?" Stefan asked as he sat across from Be.
"Yeah, someone is making me stressed right now," Be sighed deeply, feeling annoyed again.
"Who annoyed my sister? Just tell me, Sis. I’ll make sure that person suffers." Stefan narrowed his eyes, waiting for an answer from Be.
"Laura Kiels! It looks like she will get away with what she did." Be took a deep breath. "You know, Stefan, I think that woman has some backup that helped her escape easily," she continued.
"Ah, Laura Bitch Kiels... She is indeed slippery, just like an eel. Hahaha..." Stefanughed, but hisughter gradually faded when he saw Be didn’t even look at him, let alone smile at his humor.
Stefan silently swallowed when he realized Be was not in a good mood.
After clearing his throat, Stefan continued, "Sis, I can see you’re not in a good mood because of Laura Kiels. Do you need my help?" He offered, his expression tense as he waited for her reaction.
After a few more seconds, a faint smile appeared on Stefan’s face when he saw Be’s expression slowly soften.
Be told Stefan about the oddities that Sam found in the CCTV footage around Robert’s house. She asked him if he could get the missing footage.
