เข้าสู่ระบบRain tapped the windows of the Atlanta Police Department.Detective Raymond Cole stood near the evidence board staring at the crime scene photos again.Daniel Park’s body, the cliff, the river, the bruises. All on the investigation sketch board.Nothing about the case felt clean anymore.Behind him, officers moved around carrying files and coffee while phones rang nonstop across the floor.But Cole barely noticed any of it.His mind remained stuck on one thing.The Ferrari.Mallory Allison’s reaction didn't look fake.Confused? Yes.Emotional? Definitely.But not fake. He thought to himself.Detective Cole rubbed his jaw slowly before finally speaking.“Run it again.”The tech officer looked up from the computer. “Run what again?”“The Ferrari.”“We already checked traffic cameras.”“I know.”The officer frowned slightly. “Then what exactly are we looking for?”Cole walked toward the desk.“I want every Ferrari registered in Atlanta pulled up.”The tech officer blinked once. “Every Fe
“This is insane.”Mallory pushed herself away from the interrogation table abruptly.Detective Cole remained seated calmly while the other officers inside the room watched her carefully.“You’re telling me there’s no Zena?” Mallory asked.“That’s exactly what we’re telling you,” Detective Cole replied.Mallory laughed nervously.“No. No, that’s impossible.”The female officer folded her arms. “You said she worked for the Norman Enterprise.”“She does!”“We checked.”Mallory shook her head repeatedly.“Then check again.”“We already did.”“Then your people are incompetent.”Detective Cole sighed quietly.“Miss Allison—”“No.” Mallory snapped immediately. “You don’t understand.”She started pacing now.“There was a girl there, she wore a black dress, she had dark hair, with a very sharp mouth and an annoying attitude.”The officers exchanged glances.Mallory pointed toward them aggressively.“She drove the Ferrari!”“There was no Ferrari.”“There WAS!”Detective Cole leaned back slight
Mallory stared at the three officers standing outside her apartment.The female officer remained calm.“Miss Allison, we need you to come with us.”Mallory folded her arms slowly.“Do you have a warrant?”The officers exchanged brief looks.“We’re bringing you in for questioning.”“That didn’t answer my question.”The male officer sighed already looking tired.“Miss Allison—”“No.” Mallory cut in immediately. “I know my rights.”Her heartbeat had started rising badly now, but she refused to show it.“You can’t just show up at my apartment and expect me to follow you like some criminal.”The female officer kept her voice professional.“We’re trying to handle this respectfully.”“And I’m trying not to sue the Atlanta Police Department before breakfast.”One of the officers muttered quietly under his breath. “She's acting suspicious.”Mallory heard it.“What was that?” she snapped.“Nothing ma’am.”Mallory grabbed the edge of the door tighter.“I want my lawyer first.”“You can contact y
The maid standing behind him slowly stepped backwards.The entire sitting room suddenly felt smaller.Jace’s jaw tightened, and then Jace’s phone rang.He checked who was calling, and it was his father.Jace stared at the screen for two seconds before declining the call instantly.The phone rang again immediately.This time, he answered.“What?” Jace said.Mr. Norman’s voice came calm.“Get to my office. Now.”The call ended.—Mr. Norman stood beside the large windows in his office while the television continued playing the news quietly in the background.His personal assistant stood near the desk looking nervous.Then his private phone rang.Mr. Norman answered immediately.“This is Edward Norman speaking.”“Good morning, sir,” a deep voice replied. “Deputy Police Officer Raymond Cole, Atlanta Georgia State Police Department.”Mr. Norman’s face remained unreadable.“How may I help you, officer?”“We recovered the body of one of your security employees this morning.”“Daniel Park.”
“Well… this is interesting.”The familiar voice instantly made Jace turn around.Mallory stepped out of the black SUV slowly, heels clicking against the rough road. She folded her arms as her eyes moved from Jace… to Zena… then finally to the terrified security guard kneeling close to the edge of the cliff.For a few seconds, nobody spoke.Then Mallory laughed.“You disappear on your wedding night, and this is what I find?” she asked. “A roadside kidnapping?”Zena immediately stepped away from the guard.“You know her?” she asked Jace quietly.Mallory ignored her completely.“What exactly is going on here?” she asked.Jace looked irritated already.“You followed me?”Mallory smirked. “You left your location on.”Jace cursed under his breath. “Bitch.”The guard suddenly crawled toward Mallory desperately.“Ma’am please help me.”Mallory looked down at him. Her face remained calm.“What did he do?” she asked Jace.“He disrespected me.” He said,Mallory raised an eyebrow. “And your solut
Jace immediately got frightened.“Why did you open the trunk?” He asked,“That doesn’t answer my question, I asked Who is this in your trunk?” She said,“You weren’t supposed to see that.”“Obviously I wasn’t supposed to see you have a dead body in your trunk.” She said,“You are just overreacting.”“Am I overreacting? There's literally a dead man squeezed inside your trunk.” She said,Jace got out of the car.“He isn't dead, he's probably just unconscious.” He said,“Dead or unconscious, why on earth is a man squeezed in a Ferrari trunk?”“He's a security guard, and he works for the Norman family.”“Then why will you have a security guard who works for you squeezed up in a trunk?” She asked,“He crossed his boundaries, and I just had to teach him a lesson.”“Ohh wow! Do you know you could be arrested for this?” She asked,“I am fully aware of that, I am also aware of the fact you can only serve punishment if there is concrete evidence.” He said,“Well this is more than enough eviden
