Chapter 327
Finn placed his hands behind his back with a detaching expression on his face.
“We can forget about the formalities. I’m here to personally make things right.”
Conrad didn’t get angry because he refused to shake his hand. Most of those who became officials had their own quirks.
Finn glared at the woman tied to the bed who was letting out shameless sounds.
“We’ll continue this somewhere else.” With that, he took out a strip of pills from his pocket and gave it to his assistant. “Feed the woman.”
“Of course, sir!” The assistant looked at Conrad. He was not as retrained as the director. “Mr. Maxwell, originally the director had prepared this for you.”
Conrad was stunned before thanking him sincerely. “Thank you.”
“Go now!” Finn said to his assistant in a harsh tone before waving at Conrad. “This is now my area of responsibility. I have the duty to see things through now that something like this has happened. I will do what I can.”
They then went to the meeting room. Finn sat in the middle while he was joined by Chuck Manning, the assistant director, on his left and Conrad on his right.
All the other people were seated as well. Other than the officers from the station, they were also joined by the prosecutors sent by their higher–ups.
Chuck couldn’t help himself from saying, “Director, Mr. Maxwell is still a suspect in an ongoing investigation. How can you let him out just like that?”
“Are you sure he forced the man to commit suicide?” Finn’s wise eyes narrowed as he looked at Chuck with a dry smile.
Chuck’s chest tightened as his mind quickly calculated everyone again. He didn’t feel like he missed anything.
“The driver that committed suicide left a suicide note, saying that Mr. Maxwell had…”
“The man is dead and the suicide note cannot speak. Did you find any witnesses?”
“No one was in his ward when he committed suicide.”
“One of his legs had been inflicted with a comminuted fracture. For him to get out of bed, climb to the window, climb up the window… It’s not something that can be done easily.”
“Director, you can’t overturn the investigation with just one sentence! He still had his other leg, so why
can’t he…”
“Fine.” Finn cut Chuck off again and waved to his assistant who was standing behind him.
The assistant then took a step forward and said sternly, “We’ve investigated the scene. Even if the driver could still move with one leg, with the bone of his other leg fractured in multiple places, there would be bruises and injuries by the time he reached the top of the window. But there was no sign of any bleeding from the leg at all.”
Chuck’s brain froze for a moment and he said, “Maybe because his pants were too thick?”
“Ha!” The assistant let out a laugh. “It’s summer right now. Not to mention that he can’t wear pants because of his injuries. It might cause his wounds to be infected and not enough gauze was used!”
“Is that so?” Chuck looked into Finn’s eyes and his heart skipped a beat as he quickly said, “A lot of things happened at home lately so my memory isn’t that good. I keep on forgetting things.”
“Assistant Director, forgive me for being so blunt. But with your memory being this bad, you’re no longer suitable to be in this position!” Finn concluded coldly.
Chuck was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table. “Director, don’t push it. I have always been in Gryphon since I was an officer. I gave Gryphon my whole life. You can’t remove me just because you want to!”
“I don’t have the right to remove any of you,” Finn said as his eyes landed on a female officer. “I don’t even have the right to remove your daughter. However, this case has wide implications. The higher–ups believe that you were not putting your heart into this case so they sent me over to head a proper investigation. I won’t spare any suspicious individuals!”
Finn gave the prosecutors a nod and said, “I leave the rest to you.”
They all nodded and then walked toward Chuck and Priscilla.
“Please cooperate in our investigation.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
I had known that the ending would be like this , I would never had read this book. It didn’t have a right ending at all. Made no sense. Don’t waste your time....
Evil should never win and Lucifer has harmed far to many....
This should not end this way. Fia, rather than following Lucifer’s evil path should reflect and realize that she has always loved Conrad and he has always loved her. Their problems were due to the interference of others, Beryl, Esme etc . Since she is the only one that can approach Lucifer, she and Peter should cooperate with each other, kill Lucifer and evil Beryl, Peter can remove the toxins/ poison from everyone and each will be able to live normal lives without interfering with others relationship's. The children deserve their real father who will love them dearly and provide and protect them with the life they deserve. Gia has been a fool since the beginning and has believed everyone but her beloved husband. Please end this on a good note, that is why we all read these stories, everyone loves a happy ending....
