“So, she didn’t accuse Ms. Thome’s son. She accused Ms. Thorne herself. Even though we didn’t find Ms. Thorne’s fingerprints, we did find her son’s. That makes Ms. Thome very suspicious. We’re still digging into the details.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“Let’s hurry over. Don’t let the cops take anyone away!”
“Got it!”
At that moment, Elliot was simmering with frustration but remained politely firm as he explained to the police, “I was the one who made the 911 call last night. My brother and I sneaked out to the park while our mom was away, and we stumbled upon her unconscious, so I called for help.”
The officer was taken aback. “You made the call?”
“Yeah, you can check if you don’t believe me.”
“Then why didn’t we see you when we arrived?”
“Well, my brother and I had sneaked out, and we were afraid of getting scolded by mom, so we hid behind some bushes. We only after the officers arrived.”

One of the officers came over and whispered, “We just checked, the emergency call was indeed made from this kid’s smartwatch, and Ms. Thorne was sick last night, with alibis to prove she couldn’t have committed the crime.”
The officers exchanged looks and reluctantly decided to leave for now.
Despite what Allegra had told them, the evidence spoke louder, and without it, their hands were tied.-
If they dared to take someone into custody today without solid proof, and it got out, they’d be finished!
Elysia was also at home by now, having rushed back in a panic after receiving a call from the police this morning. After hearing Elliot’s explanation, she finally felt a weight lift off her shoulders.
Out of courtesy, she escorted the officers to the door. And as she opened it, Tarquin’s handsome face suddenly appeared, catching her off guard!
Tarquin had just arrived.
Elysia’s heart skipped a beat, her anxiety peaking once again!
With a “bang,” she quickly shut the door, standing guard as if facing an intruder, eyeing Tarquin warily.
Elliot and Evan were inside, Tarquin was outside, separated only by a door!
This was the closest Elysia knew the father and sons had ever been to each other!
Tarquin was unaware he had sons out there, especially not right behind this very door!
Seeing Elysia so frightened of him, Tarquin frowned in displeasure.

The officers didn’t recognize Tarquin, but having just seen Elliot and Evan, they could tell Tarquin was their father by the striking resemblance.
Tarquin was visibly upset, and the officers, feeling a bit intimidated, quickly explained, “Sorry for the intrusion. We were just doing our routine inquiries. It’s clear now that neither your wife nor your sons are involved in this matter.”
Elysia, her heart racing, turned to the officer and explained, “I’m not his wife! And my sons aren’t his!”
“Oh? They’re not?”
“No!”
“But they look so much like…”
The officer was cut off by a call from his superior. Glancing at the caller ID, he quickly apologized for the interruption and left.
As soon as the police left, Elysia grabbed Tarquin’s arm, determinedly dragging him into the elevator.
Not stopping at just getting downstairs, she pulled him out into the pouring rain, heading out of the complex.
Tarquin tried to shake her off a couple of times but couldn’t get free.
“What are you doing?”
Elysia remained silent, her grip firm, her entire demeanor screaming defiance!
Tarquin stopped resisting and let her pull him out of the complex.
Once they were outside, Elysia finally exploded, “Who asked you to come? What do you want? Haven’t I made it clear I don’t want to see you again?”

She had waited until they were well away from Elliot and Evan before unleashing her fury.
