The police responded efficiently, especially when it came to a matter related to the Farwell family. Investigations began that very night.

Once Ophelia woke up, Cayden brought her to the police station.

Traumatized by the evening's events, she cooperated with the police by confessing and giving them all her phone records with Aubree.

Upon obtaining the evidence, the police began the hunt.

In a mansion on the outskirts of the city, Gina was tossing and turning on her bed at midnight.

Samuel reprimanded her, “What are you doing? Why aren't you asleep at this hour? Our useless daughter has left. Do you plan on leaving with her?” The distraught Gina carefully replied, “Don’t say that. Aubree’s still our daughter no matter what. Besides, didn’t you approve of her actions in the beginning? How can you now blame her when the plan has fallen apart? | wonder how she’s doing alone outside.” Gina rubbed her chest. “I can’t help worrying about her, and my eyelids won't stop twitching—" Her words were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door downstairs.

Gina was consequently startled by it.

Ever since they moved to the mansion, no one had ever visited them at midnight.

Given the secluded location and the fact that she was already on her nerves that night, Gina thought that it might be a ghost.

“I'll go down and take a look.” Samuel got out of bed vigilantly and looked out the window first.

The sight of the police car downstairs caused his expression to darken. Turning toward Gina, he barked, “Come downstairs with me.” Afraid to stay alone, Gina hurriedly threw a jacket over herself before following Samuel down.

Samuel opened the door solemnly, maintaining a cautious attitude. “Officer, what can we do for you at this ungodly hour?” Outside the door, the police officer flashed his identification. “Where’s Aubree Pearson?” It took Gina some time to make sense of what was going on. When she finally did, she felt her knees buckle upon hearing the officer's words.

“Officer, my daughter... What did Aubree do? Why are you looking for her?” she asked, hoping to try her luck.

Samuel, too, was staring at their visitors with a grave look on his face.

“We're here to arrest Aubree. We have evidence to prove that she has committed attempted murder. Where is she?” After stating the purpose of their visit succinctly, the officer began to scrutinize the surroundings.

Attempted murder...

This time, Gina felt her knees give out for real. Supporting herself with the couch, she gradually slumped into it as tears gushed out uncontrollably. “Oh my god... What has she done?” Samuel's face had also turned red in anger.

Despite his repeated warnings not to cause any trouble, Aubree clearly didn’t heed his words.

She has messed up big time now! After giving both of them a suspicious look, the police barged into their home and began the search.

Unfortunately, they came up empty-handed. All they could do was question Aubree’s parents and warn them, “If we find out that you have lied to us and contacted the suspect, you will be punished by the law too!” The words sent a shiver down Gina's spine.

In contrast to her, Samuel responded harshly, “Ever since the news the last time, | have already kicked her out. | have no idea where she is, and | don’t have a daughter like her. If you find her, do whatever you will!”
