The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 645

"Yes, and he's also the reason we arrested Sierra," Officer West explained earnestly. "He's been incredibly proactive regarding this case from the very beginning. His intelligence was the key to cracking this so quickly. He's actually been pressuring us to expedite the process and ensure everyone involved faces maximum penalties."

I was floored. "Wait... wasn't he here trying to bail Zoey out?"

"Bail her out? Ms. Hayes, are you joking? The evidence against Zoey Zeller is irrefutable. There is absolutely no chance of her escaping charges. The law is objective," Officer West chuckled briefly before sobering up. "And Dr. Sterling would never do something like that. He's the one who personally handed Zoey over to us."

"What?"

I understood every single word Officer West just said, but put together, they made zero sense.

Actually, it wasn't that I didn't understand. I just refused to believe it.

Ferris wasn't trying to get Zoey off the hook? I had convinced myself that he went after the Thorne family and Clint just to avenge his beloved mistress.

But why would he hand Zoey over to the cops? He practically worshipped the ground she walked on.

Even if she committed a crime, shouldn't he be moving heaven and earth to get her acquitted? Why would he ensure she got locked up?

My brain was short-circuiting. The things Ferris had said to me that morning echoed violently in my head.

What was a lie? What was the truth? I was losing my grip on reality again.

The night air was dead still, yet I felt like I was standing in a hurricane, a deafening roar echoing in my ears.
