Chapter 1517


    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 yfully punched him. “What’s going on? Why didn’t you let me know beforehand?”


    Pete Bemy 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 nces 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.”


    “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 rted 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


    ce. 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 surveince footage. His team is


    recovering the data, and once it’s ready, they’ll hand it over to the police. The truth wille 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 nced 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?”


    “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, nning 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?”
