Chapter 262
When the office was left with only the two of them, Ethan chuckled, "Do you really want to let her
have it?"
"Dad didn''t want us to hurt each other. If that''s his wish, I''ll do my best to fulfill it. But my attitude
towards her will depend on her actions. As long as she behaves well, I''m willing to let bygones be
bygones and live in peace with her."
"Yeah, that''s the right thing to do," Ethan said, grinning.
He liked her personality: strong yet gentle, not easily forgiving others on request. She had her own
way of handling rtionships.
Ines gave a bitter smile, and couldn''t help but ask a question that had been on her mind, "Ethan, do
you value your children more than your wife?"
Upon hearing this, Ethan frowned, "Why would you ask that?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to hear your thoughts on this issue, nothing more," Ines smiled at him and
exined earnestly.
Ethan thought for a moment, then said, "No, I probably will never be a father like him. These things
can''t be generalized, everyone''s experiences shape the way they handle things. I didn''t have a
childhood like his, I don''t ce too much importance on fatherly love. If something like this were to
happen to me, I definitely wouldn''t bring an illegitimate child home, I wouldpletely ignore them."
"Isn''t that a bit too cruel?"
"I don''t care. If I must choose between my wife and my child, my wife will always be my first choice.
I won''t hurt my wife for a daughter who suddenly appears. No matter what happens, my wife will
always be my number one." He''s not that noble of a person, if he had to hurt one party, he would
never choose to hurt his wife.
Ethan''s expression was resolute, there wasn''t a hint of joking. Getting such an answer, Ines was
speechless for a moment.
In the following days, Ethan proved to her through his actions that what he had said was not empty
words, he truly put her first.

"I won''t pretend to be profound and only act without speaking. I can keep silent on insignificant
matters, but anything that could affect our rtionship, I''ll definitely speak out," Ethan said casually.
Hunter''s fatherly love was too profound, although not wrong, it sometimes caused problems.
Ines understood he was referring to Hunter doing many things for her behind the scenes, but never
speaking about it.
At noon, Ethan received a call from n Lin, saying there was a new development in the case of
Hunter''s fall. The police only allowed the two of them to go, no one else was allowed to be informed.
Ines and Ethan rushed to the police station.
"Please sit down," n Lin invited them to sit.
"Officer Lin, have you found any new clues?" Ethan asked.
"A few days ago, we cross-checked everyone''s statements, and we found that one of the maids
was vague and seemed to be hiding something, she also looked very flustered. Our colleague had
been observing her, and yesterday she suddenly resigned and was in a hurry to leave, our
colleague immediately brought her back to the police station for detailed interrogation, she then
revealed that Mr. Galeana''s daily life was taken care of by Ss, but she asionally helped.
Ines frowned, she knew that Ss was responsible for a lot of things, and when he was too busy he
would have other maids help him out.
n Lin continued, "She said that before Mr. Galeana went to bed, he had her pour a ss of water
and prepare some pills, she watched Mr. Galeana take the pills before leaving. We know that Mr.
Galeana had already taken his blood pressure medication before bed, so it''s impossible for him to
take it again at night. ording to your descriptions, Mr. Galeana was a lung cancer patient, if he
got up in the middle of the night to take medication, it should have been anti-cancer drugs."
Ines, her hand tightly clenched on her knee, analyzed calmly, "My dad is always careful, he wouldn''t
let these maids see his anti-cancer drugs. He might have really gotten up to take medication, but
the killer couldn''t find those drugs after the act and could only hurriedly put some blood pressure
pills on the table."
"Our initial spection is the same," n Lin nodded.
Ethan frowned, sensing other implications in n Lin''s words, "Did you find any other clues?"
n Lin signaled a man brought over an item wrapped in a stic bag, "This was found by the
maid at the staircase."
Ines looked up, she had a good memory and recognized the diamond earring, it was the same one
she saw on Emma''s ear the first time she returned to A City and met Emma. Emma always liked
diamonds, almost all her jewelry was studded with diamonds. Phoebe once told her, "Your sister
loves to show off her wealth, she always wears diamonds, looking at her hurts my eyes."
"Ms. Galeana, do you recognize this item?" n Lin asked.
Ines''s teeth trembled slightly, "I may be mistaken, but I remember seeing these earrings on Emma."
n Lin said, "The maid said the same thing, she said this is one of Emma''s favorite pairs of
earrings, a gift from Aiden, she loved them very much."
Ines instinctively shook her head, "Impossible, it couldn''t be her!" After Hunter''s death, her grief
should have been real, if it was fake, then her acting was too good.
Ethan gently patted Ines''s shoulder, "Izzy, try to calm down first."
"So, we called you here to ask, do we need to continue investigating this matter? Emma is a
pregnant woman after all, we won''t casually ask her toe to the police station for questioning
without solid evidence."
"Please wait a moment, I''ll call her."
n Lin nodded, Ines tried to calm her emotions, then dialed Emma''s number and put it on
speaker.
The phone was quickly picked up, and Emma''s somewhat anxious voice came through, "Chairman,
why aren''t you in the office? There''s an urgent document from the marketing department that needs
your signature."
Ines replied, "I received a temporary notice from the police, I''m currently at the police station."
"Has there been any new developments in dad''s case?"
