NovelUpdateChapter 944: "In an interrogation room," Brannon answered. "Would you like to see her?" Leah would have loved to see Corrine in a miserable state, but since things were still up in the air, she chose to stay cautious.
"My father was wrongly accused. I hope you'll look into it, Mr. Stevens," Leah said with a soft smile, her delicate hand resting gently on Brannon's larger one.
She subtly slipped a bank card into his hand. "If you can clear my father's name, the Burgess family will never forget your help." "You're too kind." As Brannon felt the card, a complicated expression crossed his face. He gave Leah a sly grin, his hand staying on hers a moment too long. "Don't worry, we're here to serve the public. Leave this to me." Leah felt a flash of disgust at his touch and quickly pulled her hand away. "Thank you." She turned and helped Corey out, ready to leave.

As they walked out, they passed by the interrogation room where Corrine was being held.
Inside, two bright lights were trained on Corrine, making her face almost glow, with faint veins visible under her skin.
She remained calm, her eyes steady, showing no sign of worry. Then, sensing something, Corrine's gaze shifted, her eyes narrowing slightly as she glanced toward the door.
Corrine cast a cold, detached glance toward the door.
Through the smudged glass pane, she could just make out the vague outlines of Leah and Corey standing outside.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp glint flickering deep within them, like a hidden blade catching the light.
So Corey was released? Her gaze slowly dropped, and a faint, almost cryptic smile tugged at the corners of her lips, the kind that carried more secrets than it revealed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeah's scornful laughter rang out, sharp and unfiltered. “I cannot believe she still has the nerve to smile at a tlike this." "Let's go." Corey's voice was low, his tone indifferent as he tore his gaze away. He cast Leah a brief sidelong glance, his expression unreadable.
Without another word, they slid into the car. As the vehicle eased through the gate, Corey let out a breath he had been unconsciously holding, shoulders sagging slightly.
Before that fleeting moment of relief could settle, the car jerked to anm abrupt stop throwing both Corey and Leah forward against the front seats.
Leah yelped, bracing herself with her hands. "What kind of ridiculous m driving is this?" Her voice rose in irritation. Before she could fully vent her frustration, a sharp knock echoed against the window beside her.
