Chapter 1632

John came up with something on the spot. “Daddy went for a site inspection, it was a very dusty place. and it got all

over Daddy.”

“Oh.” Caprice bought the story without any suspicion. She pressed her cheeks against John’s, ignoring the spots of

dirt all over his face.

Shortly after that, John walked into the living room with Caprice in his arms.

Madam Stockton and Officer Emmanuel were sitting on the couch talking. Queenie sat silently next to them.

When John showed up, they quickly rose and greeted him.

Both Madam Stockton and Queenie were startled by the haggard state John was in.

Officer Emmanuel was similarly taken aback to see him in such a poor state.

This was nothing like the John they always knew. What happened to his usual suave and careful preservation of

image?

Officer Emmanuel knew better than to be disrespectful and greeted John as if nothing had happened, Young Master

Stockton, good evening.”

John nodded.

A chair was brought to them.

John sat on the chair with Caprice clinging to him.

Officer Emmanuel went right to the heart of the topic. “Young Master Stockton, Madam Stockton has told me about

what Julie has done, and that’s including her attempt on her life as well as Mrs. Sherry’s. I heard she burned down

one of your properties as well. We have arrested both Julie and her suspected accomplice Mia. Is there any other

information you can provide us?”

John spoke while gently patting Caprice’s head, his voice was filled with ice, “Julie messed with the brakes and

directly caused my mother’s accident. Then she hired someone to set fire to my house to try to take out Sherry.

Considering all these crimes she’s guilty of, do you think the death sentence would be possible?”

Officer Emmanuel was taken aback by this.

Madam Stockton and Queenie were similarly shocked.

They did not expect John to ask for the death sentence.

Although they did not deny that Julie deserved a harsh punishment, they never wanted to see her executed.

Despite their astonishment, they could tell by just one glance that John fully meant what he said. They did not try to

object to his sentiment.

They did not ask, but they assumed that Sherry must have passed.

Office Emmanuel explained, “She has committed a series of serious crimes and the situation isn’t looking very

optimistic for her. If you hire a good lawyer and prosecute her aggressively, I do think that the court might give her

a death sentence.”

John nodded. “Alright.”

“One more thing.” Office Emmanuel wanted to continue, but then he looked hesitantly at Caprice. After making

sure that Caprice had already dozed off on John’s shoulder, he wagered that it was safe to continue. “Is the fire put

out yet?”

John replied curtly, “Yes.”

“And Mrs. Sherry… did you manage to find her?”

There was a spark in John’s eyes. “No, she’s not in the house.”

“Did you find her in the surrounding area?”

John frowned, his voice deepened. “We’re still searching.”

Office Emmanuel understood quickly and supplied. “Alright, I’ll send my men to help out with the search. as well.”

John stayed silent.

Office Emmanuel wrapped things up. “Take care, I’ll let you know first thing if we have any discoveries.” John

nodded.

“I’ll be heading back to the station to sort out the rest of the details, see you.” Office Emmanuel rose from

his seat.

John turned to Queenie, there was an unmistakable tint of exhaustion in his voice when he spoke,” Queenie, please

see Office Emmanuel out of the house.”

Queenie hurriedly rose and walked Office Emmanuel out.

A looming silence descended upon the living room again.

John sat unmoving with his arms around Caprice with a thousand-yard stare in front of him.

Madam Stockton looked at him worriedly. “John, have you slept or eaten anything at all?”

“I’ll be fine.” John turned to her. “How are you feeling?”

Madam Stockton assured him. “I’ll be fine as well. The doctor told me that I’ll be up and walking in no time after

some physical therapy and rest.”

John nodded.

An uncomfortable silence hung over them again.

Madam Stockton turned to Emerence and gave a signal.

Emerence promptly stepped into the kitchen.

She returned shortly after with a tray of food.

Madam Stockton turned to John and implored. “John, please eat something.”
