Jean pressed her lips together.

She didn’t say anything. Her eyes shifted instinctively toward the tall man standing to the side.

Carl’s sharp, handsome face was still as calm and unreadable as ever, not a flicker of emotion visible.

He looked like a silent statue carved from ice–just standing there, watching.

Jean’s lips twitched.

り

Seriously? You’re just gonna stand there? You jumped in with one line earlier, and now you’re gonna pretend you’re deaf? You’re really just gonna stand there and watch your subordinate bully your own sister?

Jean couldn’t help feeling annoyed at Carl’s silence.

Carl’s gaze shifted slightly, deep and unreadable, but he still didn’t move.

He was thinking.

Was his sister really involved with Abyssal Choir?

Queenie might be blunt and aggressive, but her instincts were razor sharp. She rarely called it w

Normally, he’d trust her judgment without hesitation.

But this time, the person she was accusing–was Jean. His once–shy, withdrawn sister.

He thought back to the way Jean had acted in Northara. Even back then, there were signs. Things about her that didn’t add up.

Could all of that be linked to Abyssal Choir?

Carl didn’t like jumping to conclusions. He wanted hard proof before taking action.

Right now, Jean was suspicious–but…

If Queenie really did take her in for interrogation, then-

“Well, look at you. Secret Service must think they’re hot stuff!” Jean snapped, pulling her gaze away from Carl and going full sarcasm mode. “Snatching people off the street, dragging them in without evidence- what, is civil liberty not a thing anymore?”

Queenie scowled. “Watch it, brat. If you’re clean, you’ll be released after the investigation-”

Queenie turned her head sharply, expression flattening as she looked toward her superior. But when she met Carl’s cold stare, she smiled coolly. “Yes, sir? Orders?”

Oh? So you do have a conscience after all. I seriously thought you were gonna stand there like a robot and watch this whole thing play out. Guess you’re not completely heartless. Good to know.
