    The police chief was left speechless.


    suspect


    How much stranger can things get?A woman who had been presumed dead for thirteen years


    suddenly imed that she was alive. She made a police report using Elvis Shaw of starting the fire,


    which nearly killed her and her brother. My subordinates immediately arrested Elvis. Now, the woman’s


    brother shows up and ims that Elvis is his father-inw. I’ve never encountered such aplex case


    in all my years inw enforcement!


    The police chief was at his wit’s end. Damien seemed determined to remain in his office and would not


    leave until he spoke to Elvis.


    Suddenly, a police officer knocked on the door and entered. “Chief, Elvis confessed to starting the


    fire.


    The police officer btedly realized that Damien was present in the office.


    Damien met the police officer’s gaze.


    That police officer was one of the ‘guests’ he had met at Elvis’ home earlier that afternoon.


    “Good that he admits it!”


    The police chief sighed and turned to Damien. “Your father-inw confessed to the crime. Do you still


    want to see him?”


    “Of course.”


    Damien stood up and elegantly adjusted his clothes. “If I don’t see him, how can I confirm that he


    wasn’t coerced into confessing?”


    The expressions of the police chief and the police officer darkened.


    Nevertheless, the police chief calmly instructed the police officer to bring Damien to see Elvis.


    The police officer led Damien to a dimly lit room with only onemp. Soon, Elvis was brought in.


    handcuffed and shackled.


    “I knew you would figure it out.”

    Elvis sighed calmly.


    Damien hade to the police station immediately after Elvis was brought in. Therefore, Elvis. knew


    that Damien had seen through his deception in the Shaw’s vige.


    “Thank you.”


    Elvis sat down on a chair and smiled. “Thank you for keeping this from Cherise.”


    “She’s a bit naive. I worry about what she would do if she discovered the truth.


    Damien remained silent for a while..


    Then, he smiled and replied, “She may be naive, but she cares about you.


    “If I hadn’t stopped her from returning to the vige, she would have realized the truth by now.”


    Elvis was taken aback. He looked down and his voice sounded a little choked. “Thank you.”


    “You don’t have to thank me.”


    Damien closed his eyes. “I never knew that the fire thirteen years ago not only destroyed my sister’s


    and my life, but also saved a girl.”


    “Furthermore, I didn’t expect that this girl would be my wife, the person who would spend the rest


    of her life with me.”


    Damien crossed his arms and continued, “Uncle Shaw, I didn’te here to condemn you. I have


    already investigated the entire matter.”


    “I didn’t expect everyone to keep it hidden from me for so long.”


    He had sensed something unusual about Elvis from the beginning but couldn’t figure out why.


    Moreover, Elvis would always divert important matters and focus on trivial things during their


    conversations.


    Damien frowned and asked coldly. “Did the old man know that you did it?”


    The ‘old man’ Damien referred to was Old Mr. Lenoir, his grandfather.


    Thirteen years ago, Elvis set fire to a house and saved Cherise by burning himself and Maeve. Then,


    thirteen yearster, Damien’s grandfather took a liking to Cherise and arranged for her to marry


    Damien.


    Damien was not foolish. He knew that things could never be so coincidental.
