At Whitemere Mansion.

Elowen was taken to the garden by the guards as if she might suddenly change her mind and run away. The evening air was calm, but the tension in her chest was not. Her hands rested on her lap, but her fingers were tightly clenched.

Her father sat at a table in the middle of the garden, a glass of wine in his hand. He did not look surprised to see her. He looked annoyed.

“Why do you want to see me?” Elowen asked the moment she got close to him. Her voice was sharp, her face

  • The Broken Heiress Meets the Billionaire Detective    Chapter 186

    Mitchell stirred in her sleep and adjusted in Harris’s arms.It was already morning, yet they were still sleeping. They were both tired after the long passionate night they had shared.Her movement woke Harris up.He slowly opened his eyes, and immediately, a sweet smile curved on his lips. At the same time, he felt proud of himself for finally conquering her.Having Mitchell in his arms was something he had only dreamed about before. Something he once thought was impossible.But now…Here they were.He had practically done everything he wanted with her, and she had let him.She wasn’t that cold and untouchable Mitchell he used to know anymore.She had become soft with him.Warm.Loving.Harris had even abandoned his own apartment and practically made her place his home. He slept there every night and woke up there every morning.Just thinking about it made him smile again.His thoughts were interrupted when his eyes drifted to the clock.His eyes widened immediately.“Shit,” he mutte

    Some months later…At Whitemere mansion…“Congratulations, June,” Scarlett said to her cousin with a faint smile.“Thanks,” June simply replied before turning back to the others to accept their congratulations as well.They had just returned from the company.June was now the CEO of Whitemere Enterprise.Everyone had expected it.Or at least… they had accepted it. But June herself didn’t feel the same.She stood there, smiling politely, nodding when needed, saying thank you when required… but deep down, something didn’t sit right with her.She felt like the position didn’t truly belong to her.It was only given to her because Elowen rejected it.Elowen had clearly said she had no interest in running the company.And just like that… the position fell into her hands.June felt like she was holding something that someone else had dropped. Something that wasn’t truly hers.But still… She didn’t have the courage to reject it either.Who would say no to being a CEO?“I hope you lead the com

    Lucien left the conference meeting and headed straight to the airport to return back to the state, but his thoughts were wild.The low hum of the engine filled the quiet space, steady and constant, but it did nothing to calm his mind.He sat by the window, his elbow resting lightly on the armrest, his fingers pressed against his temple. His eyes were open, but distant… staring out at nothing in particular.Clouds stretched endlessly outside.White. Quiet. Still.But his mind was anything but still.Mr. Ross’s voice echoed clearly in his mind.“I have nothing to gain from his death…”Lucien’s jaw tightened slightly.As a detective, he didn’t believe words easily. He believed patterns, reactions, truth hidden between sentences. He could catch people’s lies easily.But he knew…He knew that Mr. Ross was saying the truth.And that truth hurt him more than anything else.Over the years, he had believed that his father’s accident was not ordinary because of the argument he had witnessed bet

    Some days later…Berlin was colder than Lucien expected.The wind brushed past his coat as he stepped out of the car, his sharp eyes already scanning the surroundings of the conference building.He didn’t rush in.He paused and watched as people walked in and out… businessmen, assistants, security. Normal movement. Nothing out of place.He had decided to attend the meeting conference even though he had no business being there, but he wanted to meet with Cecelia’s father, Mr. Ross. He didn’t want to waste more time on the case anymore.Lucien adjusted his sleeve slightly and walked in.Inside, the atmosphere was polished, controlled, and professional.Just like the kind of place where lies could hide behind expensive suits.Lucien didn’t go in search of Mr. Ross immediately. Instead, he stood at a distance near the lounge area, his gaze moving calmly across the room, observing everyone.He wasn’t just looking. He was studying. Watching how people spoke, how they stood and how they reac

    The kitchen was filled with a quiet kind of tension. Not obvious, but it was there… sitting between them.Mitchell moved around the kitchen like nothing had happened. She opened the cabinet and picked up the vegetables they would be needing. She washed them carefully and placed them on the clean counter. She reached for the knife and kept it beside the vegetables.“Come on, Harris,” she said without turning to look at him. “I’m hungry,” she added, tapping lightly on the counter.Harris stood at the kitchen door, looking at her with a pouted lip. He wasn’t happy at all.“You can start with the onions if you don’t want to start with the vegetables,” Mitchell said casually, pointing at the onions.Harris glanced at the onions, then back at her. He still didn’t move immediately. But after a few seconds, he sighed softly and walked to the counter. He picked up the knife and started cutting.The sound of chopping soon filled the kitchen, but it wasn’t steady. He was distracted.The knife hi

    Harris alighted from his car and headed toward Mitchell’s door with a sweet smile he couldn’t hold in. The smile had been on his face since she left his office earlier that day. His jaw and cheeks even hurt a little from smiling too much, but he didn’t seem to notice.He felt light.Excited.Restless.Without wasting time, he knocked on the door and took a step back, waiting for her to open it.It didn’t take long before the door opened, almost like she had been standing right behind it, waiting.“You are here,” Mitchell said, opening the door wider for him to come in.Harris stepped inside, and she closed the door behind him.“This is for you,” Harris said, still smiling as he brought out his right hand from behind him and handed her a flower bouquet.Mitchell was stunned when the flowers appeared in front of her. She stared at them for a moment, clearly surprised. She hadn’t expected him to bring flowers.Her lips slowly curved into a smile.“Thank you,” she said softly as she took

    The living room at Whitemere Mansion was unusually quiet. Scarlett, Mrs Whitemere, and Mr Whitemere were all present, yet each of them was lost in their own world. Mr Whitemere sat on his favorite armchair, a newspaper spread open in his hands. His face was straight and unreadable as his eyes m

    “What are you saying, Scarlett?” Mrs. Whitemere asked, her voice calm but uneasy.She gently tugged at Scarlett’s sleeve, a silent warning for her to stop. Calling a police officer names inside the station was dangerous, and Mrs. Whitemere knew it.Lucien’s demeanor from the start had unsettled her

    “That was a good one, Miss Elowen,” Cecelia said happily, hugging Elowen the moment they reached their table.The cast introductions and greetings had ended, and everyone had stepped down from the stage. After Elowen finished speaking earlier, the ballroom had fallen into complete silence. The repo
