Hearing her grandmother’s words, Millie recognized Lucia’s attempt to shield her from worry, and it touched her deeply.

“Grandma, you were hit by a motorcycle. Naturally, I would cback.

You’re the person closest to my heart.”

The previous brain surgery had taken a toll on her grandmother’s well-being. She appeared increasingly frail, her once-vibrant frgrowing thinner and more aged.

Seeing this transformation, Millie’s heart ached.

Later that evening, Tobin called, informing Millie that they had apprehended the culprit and requested her presence at the police station.

Roland drove Millie to the police station.

“We’ve arrived, Mr. Nicolas.”

Eager to know what happened, Roland quickly inquired, “Have you identified the assailant? Why did they target Millie’s grandma?”

“Follow me.”

Thereafter, Tobin led them inside.

The interrogation room’s door swung open, revealing a young man in his mid-twenties, handcuffed and head lowered, sporting a row of hefty metal earrings on his right ear.

“He’s the one who hit your grandma. Someone paid him ten thousand dollars to do it.”

Furious, Roland lunged at the man, landing heavy blows on his head.

“You punk! How could you attack an elderly lady? I’m going to make you regret this, you piece of shit!”

“Calm down, Roland!” Tobin intervened, restraining Roland and positioning himself in front of him to prevent another assault.

Squinting, Millie pieced together that someone had offered the young man ten thousand dollars to harm her grandma.

“Where’s the person who paid him? Have you apprehended them?”

Shaking his head, Tobin responded, “Not yet. They communicated via phone. The number is traced back to Preagend. It’s highly likely that the mastermind is from there. Miss Brown, have you had any recent conflicts? The person who hired him probably holds a grudge against you.”

Millie pondered her recent interactions in Preagend, acknowledging potential instigators like Rhea, Nancy, and the Brown family. Any of them could be behind this scheme.

“If we trace the phone number, can you determine its owner? And are you able to trace the sender’s bank account?”

“I’ve investigated them, but they aren’t that naive. The phone number’s owner turned out to be a high school student who lost their phone. The money transfer was made through an illegal account purchased online.”

Disappointed, Roland’s voice dropped as he remarked, “Tobin, you mentioned catching the culprit, so we rushed here immediately, but it seems we’ve hit a dead end.”

Tobin expressed his regret over what happened.
