Chapter 181


    "No problem," Kane promised heartily.


    He then summoned Nathan to the cell and told him to take over the brand-new case. At the same


    time, he ordered the other officers to take Brandon away so that they could start investigating him.


    Once Kane was done issuing his orders, he said to Hera, "Ms. Youngworth, we''re nowunching


    the respective investigations. In that case, would you like to visit my office for a while? Perhaps


    you''d like to have a bite to eat there?"


    Things would be way easier as long as Hera agreed to leave the detention facility.


    "It''s fine. I''ll wait right here," Hera rejected the suggestion.


    If she were to leave the cell, Queenie would never be charged with the crime of falsely using her


    of something she didn''t do.


    Meanwhile, Shaun decided to bombard Bernard with WhatsApp messages.


    Daddy Shaun: "Bernard, as expected of thedy who catches your eye!"


    Daddy Shaun: "She''s a ruthless one, that''s for sure!"


    Daddy Shaun: "You''d better watch out for yourself in the future. Don''t go around provoking your


    future wife, alright? Otherwise, you''ll be facing nasty consequences!"


    Back in the study at Skyview Heights, Bernard sat in front of hisputer with his elbows resting on


    the desk. He intertwined his fingers and ced them before his lips; his sharp eyes fixated on the


    monitor before him.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    The monitor was ying the live footage from the security cameras'' feed in the detention facility. In


    fact, this particr angle was directed at Hera''s cell. White codes were swiftly streaking across the


    ck backdrop at the bottom of the footage.


    At that moment, his phone screen lit up. Bernard nced at the screen to see Shaun''s barrage of


    messages. Only then did he decide to pick it up.


    Then, he texted Shaun back.


    A secondter, Shaun''s formerly rxed expression contorted instantly on the footage.


    Bernard: "I''ve already snapped a screenshot of this conversation. I''ll forward it to Herater on."


    Shaun fell silent after that.


    Seriously, Bernard and Hera really were alike in certain ways.


    …


    Since Hera refused to leave the detention facility, Kane was extremely stressed. If he couldn''t get


    Hera to leave, he''d get berated by his higher-upster on.


    So, he kept urging Nathan toplete the investigation as soon as possible.


    Nathan took the lead of the entire police force. He divided the officers into three squads.


    The first squad would go to the Gaskell residence to take Queenie back to the police station. The


    second squad would drop by the hospital just to perform another check-up on Zyler''s injuries. The


    third squad was tasked to go to Cavenridge International Academy to seek out the only witness of


    the incident—Christopher.


    …


    After Queenie left the Norburgh Police Department, she headed straight to Reind Hospital to


    check on Zyler.


    Upon entering the ward, Queenie didn''t see Amelia and Camille there. A hint of displeasure crossed


    her eyes, though a look of distress soon set in the moment she noticed the thunderous-looking


    Zyler lying on the hospital bed.


    Queenie approached Zyler before saying, "Zyler, I got some good news for you. Hera''s definitely


    going to jail for good this time."


    Zyler was feeling depressed because there was a chance he might stay mute for the rest of his life.


    The moment he heard the good news, a sparkle appeared in his previously cold and empty eyes.


    Since Hera was going to jail soon, Christopher would be able to see her true colors for himself. He''d


    definitely patch things up with Zyler after that, right?


    Once that was to happen, Zyler would be able to secure a spot in Vardhar University''s guaranteed


    admission list.


    Queenie and Zyler silently celebrated for a few moments before a troop of police officers kicked the


    door open and barged into the ward abruptly.


    "We''reunching an investigation at the moment. Please cooperate with us."


    Nathan showed his police badge to the Gaskells before saying to Queenie, "Queenie Killian, please


    come with us to the police station."


    Queenie had a feeling that something wasn''t right. But she instinctively ignored it, thinking that Hera


    would soon receive her sentence from the court.


    "Alright. Deputy Chief Hobbs works really fast, huh?" she remarked smugly.


    Nathan shot a look at one of the officers, who immediately understood his intention. He pointed his


    camera at Zyler while asking, "Zyler Gaskell, we need to runch the investigation on this case. Are


    you able to speak?"


    Zyler was pissed when he heard the question. He replied immediately, "No, I can''t!"


    But his voice came out loud and clear.


    Everyone in the ward fell silent for a moment. Zyler, on the other hand, was stunned to hear his own


    voice.


    "I can talk again!"


    Zyler was shocked by the sudden turn of events as well. He couldn''t help but cry happy tears after


    repeating a few vowels to test his voice.
