105 Give Up
No one paid attention to Connor’s desperate roar at
that moment.
When the police played the recording, they had already convinced the reporters.
The police continued. “Of course, this recording alone cannot prove that he’s the murderer. We also found his discarded phone, and after restoring its settings, we uncovered several recordings of the victim from that day that matched what Miss Olsen had said earlier. This is enough to prove that he had killed the victim before Miss Olsen arrived and tried to frame her. We
have sufficient evidence to make an arrest, and here is
the warrant!”
After the police showed the warrant, the reporters in front of them immediately dispersed.
The police swiftly apprehended Connor and left quickly.
The live broadcast ended there.

105 Give Up
The Horton family.
The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.
Lewis looked at Jake with a grave expression. “Miss Olsen isn’t the murderer, and I hope I won’t hear that word from you again!”
Jake fell silent.
Just then, the butler suddenly entered the room. “Sir, there are police officers outside. They want Miss Olsen to go to the police station and assist with the
investigation.””
Upon hearing this, Jake found his courage again. “Uncle, even if she isn’t the murderer, she’s still connected to this case! It’s unlucky for someone to keep going to the police station. It’s not suitable for her to stay in the Horton residence.”
But as soon as he finished speaking, the butler coughed and said sheepishly “They’re looking for…
Miss Isla Olsen.”
Jake Horton was shocked.
He looked at Isla, baffled, and asked, “What does this case have to do with you? Why do they want you
2/9
there?!”
Isla’s face turned pale; she was disoriented and stumbled, staring blankly at Jake. “Jake, I, I…”
Her mind was full of Connor and she couldn’t bring herself to comfort Jake immediately.
Keira, observing the scene, said with a smile, “Don’t be nervous. The police want to see Isla probably for the case investigation. In that recording just now, the person talking to Connor on the phone was Isla, right? Isla, after Connor committed the murder, why did he call you?”
Isla swallowed nervously, clenched her fists, and upon seeing Jake’s confused gaze, she rushed to explain, “I… I don’t know. I felt sorry for him before and gave him some money, and he just clung to me…”
Keira looked down. “So, you’re saying that you gave the recording to the police. After all, only you would have a recording of your conversation, right?”
Isla wanted to deny it, but Keira took a step closer,
looking straight into her eyes, “After all, if it wasn’t you, why would you cover for him?”
O
3/9
Isla realized she had been backed into a corner.
After all, she couldn’t provide a better explanation!
She clenched her fists and could only nod, “…Yes, it
was me.”
“No wonder the police came to ask for your
cooperation in the investigation. When you get to the station, you’ll certainly tell the police the truth, won’t you?”
Isla was speechless
She took a deep breath and turned around sheepishly, preparing to follow the butler out when Keira suddenly looked at Jake, “Aren’t you going with her?”
Jake was taken aback.
Keira raised an eyebrow, “She’s your fiancée. Don’t y care about her? After all, the police station is an
ominous place.”
Provoked by her words, Jake immediately went to Isla Olsen’s side. “I’ll go with you!”
Isla was shocked.
She didn’t need him there!
But Jake Horton didn’t give her the chance to refuse and followed her out the door.
Inside the police station.
In the interrogation room, a police officer asked, “Please tell us, what exactly is your relationship with
Connor?”
Isla explained, “I have no relationship with him. Back in junior high, I saw him being ostracized by classmates
and felt pity for him, so I helped him with a few
lessons, but then he clung to me, calling me frequently
over the years…”
The police officer asked, “After he committed murder he called you first. Why didn’t you encourage him to
turn himself in?”
With Jake standing right beside her, Isla dared not speak carelessly and continued to distance herself from the incident. “I never imagined he would go so far as to kill his own father. I was truly shocked. It’s the first time in my life I’ve heard of someone committing
murder and than truing to frame comoona also I’ve

been blaming myself this whole time. I urged him to turn himself in, but he wouldn’t listen and even threatened to kill me if I spoke out. Comrade officer, can you please not inform him of our conversation today? I’m afraid he’ll retaliate against me after he’s released.”
“Of course, we’ll protect the witness.”
The police officer then said, “So the anonymous recording we received was actually sent by you, right?”
Isla paused for a moment, then admitted with reluctance. “Yes, I wanted to do something to help
solve the case…”
“After receiving the recording you sent, we were able to identify the killer and promptly find his discarded cell phone. Otherwise, a few more days and a little rain would have ruined the phone and all the incriminating audio files inside it, making us lose the most effective
evidence…”

The police officer interviewing Isla stood up. “On behalf of the police station, I thank you for providing the evidence!”
Isla waved her hand. “It’s nothing. It’s what any citizen

should do…”
The police officer pointed toward the door. “Good, thank you for your cooperation. I’ll escort you out.”
