How much stranger can things get?A woman who had been presumed dead for thirteen years suddenly claimed that she was alive. She made a police report accusing Elvis Shaw of starting the fire, which nearly killed her and her brother. My subordinates immediately arrested Elvis. Now, the woman’s brother shows up and claims that Elvis is his father-in-law. I’ve never encountered such a complex case in all my years in law enforcement! 

The police chief was at his wit’s end. Damien seemed determined to remain in his office and would not leave until he spoke to Elvis. 

Suddenly, a police officer knocked on the door and entered. “Chief, Elvis confessed to starting the 

fire. 

The police officer belatedly realized that Damien was present in the office. 

Damien met the police officer’s gaze. 

That police officer was one of the ‘guests’ he had met at Elvis’ home earlier that afternoon. 

“Good that he admits it!” 

The police chief sighed and turned to Damien. “Your father-in-law confessed to the crime. Do you still want to see him?” 

“Of course.” 

Damien stood up and elegantly adjusted his clothes. “If I don’t see him, how can I confirm that he wasn’t coerced into confessing?” 

The expressions of the police chief and the police officer darkened.

Elvis sat down on a chair and smiled. “Thank you for keeping this from Cherise.” 

“She’s a bit naive. I worry about what she would do if she discovered the truth. 

Damien remained silent for a while.. 

Then, he smiled and replied, “She may be naive, but she cares about you. 

“If I hadn’t stopped her from returning to the village, she would have realized the truth by now.” 

Elvis was taken aback. He looked down and his voice sounded a little choked. “Thank you.” 

“You don’t have to thank me.” 

Damien closed his eyes. “I never knew that the fire thirteen years ago not only destroyed my sister’s and my life, but also saved a girl.”
