Taylor's face was full of affection, moving heaven and earth, but it could not shake Yvonne's ashen heart. "I won't ask about your past. Whether you've betrayed Chairman Iverson... Because it's you, I don't care!"
"You don't care? You're loyal to Christopher, yet you don't care?" Yvonne thought it was a ridiculous joke, laughing until her eyes were red.
"I said I don't care because it's you! Besides, even if Chairman Iverson wants your life, I can protect you!" Taylor blurted out in panic, "Marrying me and becoming one with me is the only way to guarantee your safety. I swear that Chairman Iverson wouldn't dare touch you!"
Yvonne's pupils dilated, and she keenly caught the underlying meaning in his words.
He did not say "would not"; he said Christopher "wouldn't dare".
Although Taylor was loyal to Christopher, self-preservation was an instinct shared by both animals and humans.
Moreover, serving an unstable, cruel, and cunning man like Christopher was like walking on eggshells. To survive, Taylor must have kept some crucial evidence with him.
She calmed down and returned to her senses.
Yvonne bit the soft flesh inside her lip and swallowed the bitterness and blood, her body softening in Taylor's arms.
She rested her sweat-covered forehead on the man's shoulder, as if resigned to her fate.
Instantly, Taylor's heart thumped wildly, and he excitedly tightened his hold on her warm, delicate body. "Yvonne, we'll return to Sentania... It's surrounded by mountains and has beautiful scenery. We'll get married there. I love you, and I promise to protect you well. The only person who can make you happy is me. Drew could never do that!"
Yvonne's heart wrenched in pain, feeling like it was being torn apart, piece by piece, bloody bits flying around.
A week later, the police formed a special task force to investigate Owen's case thoroughly.
Ralph led his team to find not only a huge amount of illegal drugs in Owen's home but also various types of firearms, weapons, and even photos and information of a few victims.
It showed that the member of Southern Star Syndicate was not the first person Owen murdered.
Ralph submitted the evidence and information, and the entire police force took the case very seriously. They ordered Ralph to take down Owen and uncover the truth, determined to give an explanation to the victims' families.
But no matter how Ralph and his team took turns interrogating Owen and used every method possible, they could not make Owen speak.
Although his murder was proven, Owen refused to speak about his motivation and whether someone was behind him, looking like he was determined to take the blame for everything.
The case made zero progress.
On this day, Bella and Justin came to the police station.
"This man's mental fortitude is too strong. We can't get through him at all!"
Ralph punched the wall angrily. "Fuck, even those brainwashed victims of pyramid schemes weren't as willful as he is! It's too difficult!"
"Ralph, don't worry,"
Bella held Ralph's strong arm, slightly pursing her lips, and said, "Can you request your superiors to allow me to go in and talk to Deputy Chief Hopkins?"
"Bella, do you have an idea?" Ralph lowered his gaze and stared at her.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Bella smiled wryly, "It's worth a try. We'll attempt anything possible."
