Just then, the doorbell rang.
A housekeeper went over and opened the door.
“May I ask who you are?”

“We’re with the city’s Major Crimes Unit. We received a report involving attempted murder, and we need Ms. Mack to come with us to the station.”
The one in front was the captain of the city’s Major Crimes Unit.
As he spoke, his sharp gaze fixed on Zoey, who was sitting in the living room.
A moment ago, Eileen and Zoey were still smiling, plotting to take the Macks’ inheritance from Patrick. Now, the captain’s words froze their smiles in place.
“A report? Who called the police?”
Eileen sprang up from the couch and hurried over to the officers.
“Explain yourselves. Who called the police? It’s obviously some bitch trying to frame my daughter, and you just believe it?”
“The reporting party has provided evidence of Ms. Mack inciting murder. Whether this accusation is false will be determined by the investigation. For now, please have Ms. Mack come with us.”
Zoey turned pale. “Mom, I don’t wanna go to the police station.”
When officers came to take her in person, it wasn’t something she could refuse.
“Zoey, go with the officers first. I’ll have your dad bring the lawyer to see you in a bit.”
Eileen squeezed Zoey’s hand reassuringly and gave her a subtle look.
Zoey remembered what Norris had told her earlier that day, and her heart steadied slightly.
