Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 386

Alice paused for a moment, then gave a faint smile and replied, "No need to thank me. I haven't done anything special. I just said what was on my mind."

Maxwell chimed in, saying, "Yvette, you haven't rekindled your relationship with that Young guy in Tully City, have you? Why are you thanking her?"

I rolled my eyes at him and remained silent. Instead, I looked at Alice and said, "Be careful on your way home."

Alice nodded, and got into the car. Maxwell wanted to gossip, but since he did not want to keep Alice waiting, he got in as well. They then drove away.

The next day, Officer Jackson called me and asked me to visit the police station. Knowing it had something to do with Jack's case, I did not think much of it and went to the police station.

Inside the police station, in Officer Jackson's office, there were few pleasantries exchanged.

Then, he got straight to the point and said, "Ms. Scott, have you encountered any strange individuals recently or noticed anything unusual around you?"

His question sent a shiver down my spine, and I looked at him, puzzled. "Why are you asking me this, Officer Jackson?"

He pursed his lips and replied, "I received credible information from my team that Lucas isn't dead. In fact, he’s currently in Lake City."

The cup I was holding slipped from my hand and crashed to the floor, making a loud noise. It stunned me for a few seconds, and Officer Jackson hurriedly got up to help clean it up. He was concerned as he asked, "Are you okay?"

I shook my head and took a moment to compose myself before asking in disbelief, "He's in Lake City?"

Officer Jackson nodded and said, "Yes, it's possible that he's been here for some time. What concerns me the most is that he may come after you and Mr. Young. The previous cases are also likely related to him."

After a pause, he continued, "I called you here today to remind you to pay attention to safety when you go out these days. Additionally, the hospital's surveillance cameras captured an image of the person who killed Jack. The camera was tampered with at the time, and the image is blurry, but I've already arranged for the technical department to enhance it. It should be available soon."

Seeing me in shock, he remained silent for a few seconds before adding, "Furthermore, there's a high probability that Lucas was behind Renata's death as well."

I was stunned, almost unable to believe what I was hearing. I looked at him incredulously and asked, "Mrs. Newman's death was also related to him?"

Officer Jackson nodded, his face darkening. "When Renata got into that accident, her body underwent a forensic examination. We investigated the area near the accident site and found a suspect who was likely one of Lucas' henchmen. Unfortunately, he didn't show his face, so we couldn't confirm his identity."

I almost did not pay attention to Officer Jackson's words after that. He was probably talking about Moore's situation in prison, but I was not in the mood to listen. I left the police station feeling dazed.
