Chapter 536

Glancing at Huxton, Patrick asked, "How's the investigation going, for the thing I asked you?"

Huxton recovered and said, "Maryanne was kidnapped by us as soon as she came out of the house of The Cook family. After a round of interrogation, as expected, it was she who pushed madam down the stairs!"

A hint of malice showed on Patrick's face. "She admitted it herself?"

Huxton nodded. "Maryanne refused to admit to it at first. She forced us with no choice but to use some tricks on her, and then she spilled later on."

Patrick's lips pursed into a thin line. No one could tell what he was thinking.

Huxton continued to ask, "Mr. Hopper, Maryanne is currently in a remote place. How do you want to deal with her?"

Patrick could not help looking up at a room up the stairs. "I haven't decided yet."

Although it was only a short glance, Huxton noticed it.

Surprise flashed on his face. When did Mr. Hopper start thinking about others' feelings before he made

a decision?

"Lock her up first. I'll inform you when I've thought of a plan," Patrick said in the end.

"Yes, Mr. Hopper!"

"It's me."

"Dr. Scarlett?" Amelia tossed the game console aside, slipped off the bed, and opened the door.
