Aria turned her head to look.
Alden Reaves walked in first, followed closely by Samuel Kersey.
"Ms. Rowan, my father heard you were wronged over the medication issue, so he asked me to bring these documents to back you up."
Back her up?
That phrasing sounded a bit ambiguous.
Raphael Evernight pressed his lips together.
"Aria has already handled most of her situation herself. Even if she needs help, I will make the arrangements."
Aria looked at Raphael.
Actually, from her very first interaction with Samuel, Aria had keenly sensed that he might be interested in her.
But right now, she had no desire to focus on romance. She wanted to dedicate all her energy to solving the genetic puzzle.
Though Raphael's words were slightly inappropriate, they would at least make Samuel drop any ideas he had about her, right?
Samuel paused for a moment, glancing around at the crowd. Why was Raphael here, too?
He handed the confidential documents to the police officer.
"Officer, this file is enough to prove Aria's innocence, but I must ask you to keep its contents strictly confidential."
Although the injured patients were soldiers stationed overseas, the list remained classified.
Keeping it private was also to protect the safety of the soldiers' families.
The officer immediately spotted the flash of a classified seal on the file Samuel handed him.
At the same time, he looked over at Alden Reaves, who gave him a confirming nod.
The officer's expression grew even more solemn.
He led Samuel to an interrogation room, which offered better security.
Since the man had been brought in by Dr. Reaves, the officer naturally trusted his authenticity. But because this involved national security, he still needed to report it to his superiors.
"Please wait a moment, everyone."
