Chapter 76

Julius looked at Quiana but didn’t say anything.

By now, her tricycle had turned into an impromptu interview stage.

Standing there. Quiana’s bold, captivating gaze shone from beneath her baseball cap. Her fair skin glistened under the sun, flawless and striking.

She rested her hands on the makeshift platform, her intense eyes scanning the crowd as she said, “I don’t need anyone backing me.”

IT WAST

Quiana’s comment was fierce and audacious. Her powerful aura was enough to silence a thousand voices.

Julius, who was scrolling through his phone, looked up at h

her

“But you…someone began, only to be cut off by a shout from the crowd.

“Move aside! Everyone, n

.make way!”

A group of uniformed officials parted the crowd, walking in with a commanding presence.

“Holy crap, it’s Grant Weston, Captain of the Criminal Investigation Department!”

“And the guy

y in front… is that Maxon Pearson?”

“No question! It’s him!”

“Even Chiel Pearson showed up in person? What kind of serious crime did Quiana commit?”

“And that’s Daniel Pacheco, the top forensic examiner from the Justice Bureau!”

“Isn’t that Quinn, the lawyer with an undefeated record?”

“They’re all here for Quiana? She must’ve done something horrendous!”

“Lock her up already! People like her are a waste of space!”

These officials‘ steps tightened the atmosphere, leaving the crowd on edge. The reporters, snapping out of their initial shock, surged forward.

“Chief Pearson, just what earth–shattering crime has Quiana Levine committed to warrant this level of response?”

Maxon frowned, giving the reporters a stern look. “Who said I’m here to arrest Quiana?”

The crowd paused, baffled. Then what’s with all the commation?

Then someone speculated, “It must be classified. They’re keeping quiet for now. We got it.”

“As long as they arrest hert Hopefully, she won’t ever be rereleased.”

Pearson ignored the crowd and signaled for Grant to hold them back

“Chief… Chief Pearson… Simon stantmered, hurrying forward. “Quiana has no connection to the Larson family. We’re about to turn her in.”

Without sparing him a glance, Maxon nodded respectfully toward Julius. “Mr. Hawley.”

Quinn and Daniel also greeted him politely

Julius gave a subtle nod back.

Chapter 76

Zack was surprised. “What brings Chief Pearson here in person?”

Maxon looked at Quiana and replied, “A matter of business.”

Known for his relentless dedication and nearly superhuman record, Maxon Pearson was the last person anyone expected to show situation. Only something serious could bring him here.

But today….

Zack chuckled softly, “Looks like Julius was prepared for this.

Julius‘ gaze deepened. “He wasn’t here on my request.”

Maxon wasn’t going to show him any lavor,

Loo’s brows knit together. “Julius only asked me to get Grant Weston

“What?” Zack was stunned. “Then why would Maxon be here? Could Quiana have committed a serious crime?”

Otherwise, why would she have alerted Maxon?

Maxon approached Quiana, his tone unexpectedly gentle. “I’m glad you’re all right.”

The crowd fell silent, stunned.

Wasn’t Maxon here to arrest her?

What does he mean by “glad you’re okay“?

Grant said, “Thank you, Ms. Levine, for your assistance.”

“Assistance?” Murmurs of disbelief rippled through the crowd.

Before he could finish, Grant raised a loudspeaker and addressed the onlookers. “While I don’t know how today’s social media storm started, I’m here to clarity: Quiana Levine has not broken any laws.”

Daniel took the loudspeaker, his deep voice booming. “Last night, I invited Ms. Levine to the Justice Bureau to assist with an autopsy”

“An autopsy?

Disbelief washed over everyone. Even Simon and Mandy exchanged looks of pure shock. “Dr. Pacheco, could you be mistaken?”

Grant pressed on. “We’re here today to clarify that Ms. Levine was at the Justice Bureaur last night as a forensic expert, not a suspect.”

Quinn continued, “Without any concrete information, people hurled accusations and insults based on a few misleading images.” He turned to the crowd,

Simon and Mandy stepped forward. “Chief Pearson, you can’t make baseless accusations.
