When Love Finds Its Way Back (Cassienne and Dreston) novel Chapter 373

Joseph closed his eyes briefly on the other end. "Thank God."

Ray continued. "I just received another important update."

Joseph immediately became attentive. "What is it?"

"Tina called Cassienne this morning."

Joseph frowned. "She remembered something?"

"Yes." Ray nodded even though Joseph couldn't see him. "She remembered a name."

"What name?"

"Virelli."

A long silence followed.

Then Joseph slowly exhaled. "The same family."

Ray continued. "If my instinct is right...it's the same family Daisy was almost connected to through marriage."

Joseph's eyes narrowed.

Everything was beginning to connect.

The separate pieces were no longer separate.

Then Ray spoke again. "I thought you should know immediately."

"You did the right thing."

Joseph looked across Elena's home office.

Justice Elena had already understood from his expression that something had changed.

"I'll take the next flight back."

"We'll be waiting."

The call ended. And Joseph slowly lowered the phone.

Elena studied him. "Tina remembered."

Joseph nodded.

"Just a name."

Elena already knew the answer before he said it.

"Virelli."

She slowly closed the file on her desk. "The circle is getting smaller."

Joseph picked up his jacket. "I need to get back."

Elena stood as well. "I'll meet you in Southvale."

Joseph nodded. "No more delays."

Within the hour, he was on a flight back to Southvale.

…….

Inside Southvale Central Police Headquarters. Garry Richardson sat across from two investigators inside a quiet interview room.

Unlike his previous questioning, this meeting felt different.

Nobody was accusing him or pressuring him too hard. This was different. They simply wanted the truth.

The lead investigator switched on the recorder. "For the record...Please tell us everything from the beginning."

Garry nodded.

Then he began.

He spoke about the first time he overheard Donatus discussing Cassienne.
