Chapter 1738
"That doesn't seem likely.We'd surely have found it if it was anywhere near the scene.Maybe you remembered it wrongly," the police officer remarked.
Stella decided not to argue further.She was certain she hadn't been mistaken.
However, no one knew where the pendant was.
Following that, Stella recalled the day Jackson was taken away at the memorial service and asked, "Officer, is this kidnapping case related to Jackson Kane, who was arrested a few days ago?"
The cop replied, "Jackson Kane has been released.There's no direct evidence linking him to the case.Moreover, the two suspects claimed they didn't know him.We also found that Cody Hunter happened to be at Jackson's gathering purely by coincidence."
Stella nodded and said, "I see.Thank you."
Whether Jackson was involved with the kidnapping or not, Chandler was undoubtedly implicated.
Keegan's move was a clear warning to Chandler.
The actual perpetrator was already deceased, and the remaining suspects admitted solely to the kidnapping.
Theyclaimed the deceased had hired them for extra money but refused to reveal any further details.
With that, the case was closed.
Stella was genuinely unwilling to accept it, but there was nothing she could do for now.
Early the next morning, she called Wenham.
"Dad, are you home today?"
Wenham had plans to go fishing with friends, but hearing his darling daughter's voice, he replied, "Yes, I am.What's up, sweetie?"
"Nothing, I'm thinking of coming home for lunch.If you're not at home, I won't bother."
Wenham was speechless.
"How does my presence affect whether you come home for lunch?"
Stella laughed."It's mainly because I want to have lunch with you."
Wenham was overjoyed to hear that.
"You can come.I'll be waiting for you.Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have Samantha prepare the dishes in advance."
