Atlas glanced at Arton and nodded. "Let him go. He has no connection to the suspect!"Arton was relieved and said, "Thank you."The policeman guarding Melanie looked unwilling as he released Arton from the handcuffs.I asked sternly, "Aren't you going back?"Arton glanced at me hesitantly. Eventually, he walked away in a hurry.I understood his feelings. He wanted to stay and wait for news about Melanie.Cane walked in and reported to Atlas, "She must not have left. We checked all the exits, and no one matching her description had left. She couldn't have changed clothes in that short timeframe.""Check for Eugene's ward," Atlas immediately ordered.Cane quickly left and soon returned, saying, "Special ward 1203."Atlas's face lit up, and he said, "Come with me."With Atlas's command, everyone followed him, walking briskly outside. Lauren and I also followed behind them.I questioned Atlas, "Are you saying she might be in her father's room?""The most dangerous place is ofte

Upon hearing Liora's heart-wrenching scream, I involuntarily paused for a moment, knowing full well that something had happened in that hospital room. However, for a murderous demon like her, I didn’t feel much sympathy.In the afternoon, the authorities officially announced the arrest of Liora and the news of Eugene's death at the arrest scene.This caught me off guard. I never expected the authorities to act so swiftly.The news outlets reported briefly on this father-daughter duo's involvement in multiple homicides, linking them to Melanie's escape and the entire case. It also stated that Eugene was suspected of conspiring to murder Glen and Margaret. The case was under further investigation.The Thompson family was suddenly exposed to past grievances, starting from Liora's early misdeeds.Gradually, layer by layer, the truth emerged. It revealed the fact that the Thompson family had suppressed the Cole family due to the wine party incident. Many pieces of evidence were provide

After the meeting, I asked Grayson to come to my office to inquire about the progress in Solaris. He reported everything truthfully, and it seemed that things were going smoothly there."What about the situation with Fred I asked you to keep an eye on?" I asked.I had asked Grayson to keep an eye on Fred and the Myers family. I had my reasons for not asking Fred about it directly. Some things were clearer from a third person's point of view."I've got Fred under close watch now. He's learned to behave, but there are subtle movements happening behind the scenes. The old man still leans toward Fred, so the next steps shouldn't be a problem," Grayson reported."Keep monitoring him. If he starts to lose control, give him a little push," I instructed Grayson."Understood! You can trust me on this one." Grayson nodded. "But there's one thing bothering me.""What is it?" I asked."The situation in Yare is too tightly sealed. We can't dig anything out, and it's hard to monitor anything

I had just reached the doorway of the pantry when I heard voices inside. The one speaking was none other than Adelaide. Her tone carried a peculiar mix of sarcasm."What's wrong? I've made myself quite clear, haven't I? It seems like you have some issues with me, Ms. Carol. You've been making things difficult ever since I arrived. Do you think I can't see it?" Her voice was arrogant, exuding baseless confidence."You’d better watch your manners, Adelaide," Carol warned firmly."What do you mean, 'manners'?" Adelaide's laughter carried a hint of disdain."Don't think you're above me, Carol. I can take your place if I want to. Do you believe that?" Adelaide continued."Adelaide Mcclain, you're in over your head! Do you really think this is a place for your tricks?" Carol was becoming agitated."What are you talking about? Stop acting like a lapdog."Adelaide's voice disgusted me.I took a step forward to enter, but what happened next shocked me even more.As I stepped into their

I looked at Johnson, taking a minute before I spoke."Tell me when he’s leaving. When his mother passed away, she left some money. I'll give him some," I told Johnson."Isn't that money for Ava?" Johnson asked. "I’ve already taken care of his travel expenses. That should be enough.""I can't just leave it to you all. Ava has me, and she doesn't need that money. I didn't even want it. I planned to return this money to him if he really turned over a new leaf and started doing honest work."I had only discussed this with Atlas, and he completely supported my decision. That money was just a drop in the bucket to him.For Matthew, it was a significant sum. Besides, Atlas wouldn't let me spend someone else's money.Continuing, I said, "I won't give it to him now. I don't know what he's up to. Also, all of Melanie's assets, even those her mother stole, are currently in my custody. I'll return them to him in the future, but on the condition that he follows the right path. I'm telling
