Chapter 448 Chapter 448 Jean's heart was racing as she watched the car disappear from view.She turned to head back into the station, but a horde of reporters surrounded her.
"Ms.Eyer, was Gigi really involved in the crime? Was she arrested?" "Did she have anything to do with the incident with Sam Reece?" They shoved their microphones into Jean's face as they badgered her with questions.

Joseph arrived just in tand pulled her out of the crowd. He took her to their office on the first floor.
Jean sank into the couch.She could still hear the reporters making a fuss downstairs.
Gigi had retired from the entertainment industry for a while now.
It did not make sense for them to be so zealous about her current popularity.
Someone was most likely behind this.
And she had one guess as to who that person might be.
"Ms.Eyer, could you elaborate on that incident you mentioned earlier on the phone?" Joseph placed a cup of tea in front of her.
Jean was as stoic as ever.
"Officer Bunnings, I told you I'll give you all the evidence I have. You have my cooperation as long as you can promiseone thing.I want you to guarantee that he receives the harshest punishment for his crimes.I want Sam to spend the rest of his life in jail" "We will try our best to.." "You must have seen the papers I sent you. He has killed more than one person." Jean got to her feet.
"Thank you for the tea and for looking after Gigi's case." Jean was gone before Joseph even had the chance to say what he had prepared.He caught up to her.
"Ms.Eyer, there's actually something else I need to ask you. Have you met anyone from the Rothschild family before?" "No.Her expression gave nothing away.
"Does this have something to do with the case?" "No.It's just something that was on my mind.Please' Joseph smiled and opened the door for her.Jean left without another word. She took a deep breath while standing in the breeze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs long as she had kept quiet, no one would know how Gigi returned.
At the time, Gigi wasn't in the best state mentally.She was out of control.
There was no way she knew who she had met. She was concerned with what Joseph had said about Rothschild.
And what about it? There's nothing more unpredictable than the human heart.
Not long after she had left, an expensive-looking car arrived at the station.
Edgar, looking as unapproachable as ever, got out of the car.
He strode up the steps while barking orders to Miles, "Send someone to keep an eye on her.Keep her safe without her knowing." He knew that Edbert and the Summer family might try something.
"Yes, Sir." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
He was immediately brought to Franklin Jones' office.
He entered the room to see Joseph and two other deputy directors discussing the collapse of one of Sam Reece's buildings that resulted in the loss of seven lives.
One of them being Edgar's father.
"You cjust in time. Take a seat." Franklin was the leader in charge of this case in the past.
Now that there was new evidence to the case, he was filled with shame.
"I need to apologize. This case was left unsolved and caused you and your mother a lot of pain." Edgar showed no expression.
"It's all in the past. Right now, I am more interested in knowing if Jean was the one who provided the new evidence." Franklin was surprised.
"Yes, she was the one." He nodded.
He had no desire to hide anything from Edgar.
Edgar was one of the victims and also a primary witness to the incident.
"So much thas passed. Wouldn't it be difficult to convict someone of the creven if new evidence were discovered? No one from the village will say anything about the incident" It took years for him to heal from the incident.
Talking about it again was opening up old wounds.
Franklin sighed and gestured.
Joseph added, "We contacted sof the villagers. They were evasive regarding the topic, but it only proves they are hiding something." "Why force them if there's something keeping them from talking?" Edgar paused.
He stood up and said, “I know that this is a difficult case to handle. However, I don't want any more people to be hurt because of this." "Mr.Royden, listen to me! This could turn this case around!" Franklin insisted.
Edgar chuckled, "That's what you said last ttoo." "Those villagers have had it rough. It's been so long; just let them have their peace." His eyes grew flinty.
Joseph felt that Jean had the exact sexpression earlier.
"So you're tellingthat you don't want the police to dig any further into this?" Franklin did not know how to convince him otherwise.
"I hope you'll keep this from Jean.This is my only request.I'll handle everything else." He had no intention of letting Sam go free.
However, there were too many people involved in this.
Sam had paid off a lot of people.
Back then, he was young and reckless. He had no issue calling those people out.
But this changed after he saw how they lived. He couldn't find it in him to berate them.
They had no choice but to take the money.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut there was a glimmer of hope.
After all, no one would willingly be an accomplice to a murderer! "Mr.Royden, please reconsider.Joseph followed after him.
"I'm confident that we'll nail him this time" Edgar's footsteps slowed.
He turned around and stared at Joseph, “Officer, have you met Sam's lawyer?" "Not yet. He's in a coma.We will rush over when we receive news that he's woken up." Joseph said confidently.
The hospital has also been instructed to notify the police immediately.
Edgar's grew even colder.
"You must not have heard then.He woke up yesterday morning. He paid a lot of money to hire Gabriel Ross from Nexus Legal.I'm sure you're aware of the cases he's won." "What?!" Joseph pulled out his phone to call the hospital.
Gabriel Ross had never lost a case before.
There were too many murderers he represented who got off scot- free.
Too many criminals received sentences lighter than they deserved.
Everyone in the police station hated him.
To their surprise, Sam was willing to spend a whole lot of money to get out of this.
"Which is why you should reconsider. Don't dig any further it's just a waste of time, effort, and ΕΠ resources. You won't catch him." Edgar turned and strode out.
Joseph frowned as he watched Edgar's disappearing back. He m returned ned to the commissioner's office. He noticed that the evidence had all been put away. "Sir, are you really planning to do as he said? How can we bring Sam Reece to justice if the police do not look into this?" Franklin turned and looked at him helplessly.
"He's doing this to keep the witnesses safe." Not just the villagers, but Jean as well.
