They never anticipated that the man chosen by Ms. Quillen would be so formidable! Her judgment was truly spot on!
After Ashton brought Hubert back to the precinct, he surprisingly confessed to all his crimes.
He admitted not only to the attempted murder of Emmanuel but also to the failed attempt of drugging Mackenzie. Then, he even spilled the beans regarding his past crimes against other victims!
He was on such a roll that he practically rambled about every single wrongdoing he had done. If the officers hadn’t stopped him, there was a chance that he would have even started confessing to bullying a little girl back when he was in kindergarten. It was evident that he was deeply afraid of Emmanuel.
He feared encountering Emmanuel, his walking nightmare, and being humiliated and crushed like an ant once more!
“Another case closed!”
Ashton returned to her apartment in the residential area late at night, feeling quite satisfied with herself.
The poisoning case was solved. Tonight, the mastermind behind the Ferris wheel incident turned himself in. Now, only the Sebastian Oatley car accident case, which Captain Payne had entrusted to her, remained!
“It seems I don’t have to return home and take over the family business!”
Ashton could finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, she couldn’t help but think of Emmanuel again. If it weren’t for that man, how could these two cases have progressed so smoothly?
“Should I give him a call to express my gratitude?”
Ashton took out her phone. Then, she hesitated and placed it away.
“No, he’s a married man. What if his wife finds out if I call him so late?”
Then, she grumbled, “No, wait. Mackenzie has always been so arrogant. What’s wrong with provoking her a little? I can still remember how smug she looked last time!”
Alas, she couldn’t bring herself to do it as she muttered, “Still, is this really a good idea? Morally, I would be at a disadvantage. What if others misunderstand and think I want to be a mistress?”
For a moment, this single and independent policewoman was becoming increasingly paranoid.
To her surprise, the screen of her phone lit up the next moment!
“What’s going on? Emmanuel is calling me?!”
Ashton couldn’t believe it. It was almost midnight! Why would that man call her at this hour? Could it be that he was harboring some ulterior motives?
“Ugh, what am I thinking?”
