“Make sure they dont go gossiping about this to anyone.

“Until we bust this case wide open, we need your full cooperation in keeping the lid on it.

“Besides, keeping quiet serves as a shield for your own family’s safety.”

Ethan’s voice was deadly serious.

“Of course,” Eugene agreed.

He gave a firm nod.

He understood the massive stakes involved perfectly.

On top of that, Isabella’s safety was on the line here.

Whether it was for Isabella’s sake or to protect the Carter Group’s reputation, he wouldn’t let a single word leak out.

“I trust your team will wrap up the investigation as quickly as possible,” Eugene added.

His voice dropped to a low, quiet tone.

“We will. Also, if you can manage it, it might be a good idea to get her some psychological support.”

Ethan glanced toward the grand staircase where Isabella and Margaret had just disappeared, “Our forensics showed she went through a brutal struggle with those scumbags.

“She literally sliced off one guy’s entire hand.”

He paused before continuing in a grave tone, “Look, I’m not bringing this up to pin any blame on her. Frankly, she did exactly what needed to be done, and she did it brilliantly.

“If she hadn’t made that split–second call to cut off those kidnappers, things would’ve ended in absolute disaster.

“But at the same time, I’m worried she might be deeply traumatized. Because she grew up completely independent in the sticks, she’s probably masking it perfectly.

“That’s exactly why I wanted her to stay here–first, to help Brett snap out of his own panic, and second, to give her a safe space to process everything.

‘Brett lived through that nightmare right alongside her.

‘Being around him in a safe environment could do wonders for her mental state.

‘And seeing how much Mrs. Carter adores her, I think if you guys keep the conversation light and welcoming, it’ll help her shake off that horrific, bloody ordeal.

“You have to realize that sometimes, post–traumatic stress is the hardest demon to conquer.”

As Ethan laid it all out, Arthur and Eugene caught on immediately.

“Don’t worry, officer. We’ll make sure she’s completely taken care of.

“She saved our entire family. Even without this warning, we would protect her with everything we’ve got,”

Eugene promised.

“Good to hear.”

Ethan gave a decisive nod, turned on his heel, and headed out into the night.

Once the detective left, Arthur turned to his eldest son, “Make sure we roll out the red carpet for that girl tonight.

“She literally put everything on the line for us.

“Man, she looks so young, yet she’s got more grit and balls than most grown men.”

He paused, his face darkening slightly, “I’m heading to the study to call the Powells.

“If they try to give me any attitude, I am going to absolutely rip them a new one.”

With that, he marched straight off to his study to make the call.

Eugene’s brows knitted tightly as he cast a worried look toward the upper floor where his mother and Isabella had gone.

Turning back to the house staff, he instructed, “Get some fresh clothes ready for Ms. Powell immediately.

He paused, looking lost, “By the way… what exactly do teenage girls even like these days?”

Eugene turned the question over in his head, completely out of his depth.

Since Isabella was spending the night, he wanted to ensure she felt absolutely at home.

Besides, when he had given her a ride earlier, he noticed she wasn’t wearing a single piece of jewelry or high–end accessory fitting for an elite family’s daughter.

The memory made his frown deepen.
