Chris paced outside the police station. He spotted a young police officer rushing out and quickly approached.
"Pete!"
Pete, the officer in question, greeted him warmly with a grin.
"You rascal!" Chris playfully punched him. "What's going on? Why didn't you let me know beforehand?"
Pete Bellamy scratched his head, still grinning.
Pete was one of the officers who had taken Lena from the Hamertons earlier. It wasn't just Chris who was surprised
—even Bianca hadn't expected the police to show up.
Despite this, Pete and Chris had exchanged knowing glances when he left the Hamerton residence. Understanding
the situation, Chris had waited for him outside the police station.
Pete lowered his voice. "Chris, don't worry. Lena knows what to say and what not to. She's level-headed, and there
won't be any trouble."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Who ordered you to bring her here?"
Pete shrugged. "Ms. Thompson, but it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Everything happened so quickly that
there wasn't time to inform you."
Chris was taken aback. It was Lina?
"Lena is indeed related to this case. She saw that child before her disappearance, so it's standard procedure to
bring her in for questioning."
Chris pondered for a moment and chuckled.
Lina had used this procedure to put Lena under police protection, as the police station was the safest place. If
anyone tried to frame Lena for anything else, it wouldn't work. They had connections in the police station, ensuring
Lena's well-being during her stay and avoiding any public scandal.
Chris couldn't help but shake his head in amusement. Lina's sisterly bond ran deep. She had even thought of this
method!
Pete continued. "Bro, it seems Zuko managed to obtain some surveillance footage. His team is recovering the data,
and once it's ready, they'll hand it over to the police. The truth will come out when that happens, and Lena will be
cleared!"
"Alright." Chris patted Pete's shoulder. "I'll leave Lena in your care for now."
"No problem!"
Meanwhile, Bianca was headed to the outskirts with Zuko and Lina.
Lina appeared calm and collected. With Lena under police protection, there was no need to worry. All that
remained was to let Bianca's lies unravel on their own.
Bianca kept texting Drake during the drive, but he hadn't responded. She bit her lip, sensing something was amiss
about the sudden police involvement. She couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She glanced at Lina, who was looking at her with a smirk. Her heart raced.
Bianca forced a smile, "Ms. Thompson, why are you looking at me like that?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"How would you know I'm looking at you if you weren't looking at me?"
"I..."
Lina smirked. "Do you know why the police came?"
"Huh?"
"I reported it to the police."
Bianca stared at her in disbelief.
"Ms. Mosley, I agree with what you said." Lina patted Bianca's hand. "I'm a mother, and we must be cautious with
someone like Lena."
Bianca couldn't tell if Lina meant well or not, but her heart pounded. She still wanted to show loyalty to Lina.
"It's right to be cautious! Look, we're almost there. Lena colluded with Alexander to take that child to an abandoned
factory, planning to move her. Let's go there now and catch them in the act!"
"Alright," Lina replied sweetly.
Suddenly, the car screeched to a halt, and the abrupt stop nearly sent Bianca sliding beneath her seat. She was
about to scold the driver when she saw him staring wide-eyed at something ahead, his face pale.
"What..." The driver was sweating, pointing at Drake lying on the ground. "Is he dead?"
