Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 335

The police officers avoided mentioning drugs outright, not wanting to spook the suspect.

Hearing the implication, Eloise paled, shaking her head emphatically.

"No way! You must have the wrong person."

Before the officers could explain further, another voice cut through the tension.
