Chapter 78 Regretting His Past Actions

Seeing Luke's emotions running high, Nelson raised his hands and said, "Mr. Bolton, I understand you're anxious, but we need you to stay calm to help us find Chloe quickly "Okay, I'll cooperate," Luke replied, his voice hoarse.

Nelson took statements from everyone, but his expression hardened when he turned to Anna.

"Anna, it's your tum.".

Quickly, my mom stepped forward, addressing Nelson with urgency, "Mr. Tucker, my daughter has a weak heart and can't handle too much stress. Please, ask me anything instead."

Nelson looked at my mom, who appeared deeply distressed, and his serious face grew even sterner. "Mr Sander, it strikes me s strange that your oldest daughter has been missing for so long, and yer you seem barely concerned. Even during the statement earlier, you didn't seem very worried. It was just your younger daughter making a statement, why the excessive anxiety? Given that Chloe is missing it's very likely that she met with foul play. But considering your family's apparent indifference towards her. I wouldn't rule out suicide either!" The room fell silent, the tension palpable.

"It's not that, I'm just worried about her health...

"Just a few questions won't hurt if she's innocent. Everyone must go through this; no exceptions, Nelson-

insisted.

After he left, my mom spent a long time comforting Anna, as if preparing her for a trial.

"Don't worry, just answer their questions," she advised.

"Okay, Mom," Anna replied, though her eyes betrayed a flicker of impatience.

Blame her perfect image for always making people overly protective.

When she entered the interrogation room, I noticed the curtains were drawn, and only a desk lamp lit the

space.

Only Nelson and Anna were left in the dimly lit room.

Nelson was seated behind the desk lamp, his form shrouded in shadows, obscuring his facial expressions. The room was filled with a palpable sense of oppression. Since I could not stray far from Luke, I stayed by the door.

As soon as it closed, I could no longer see inside.

I had a feeling that Nelson was suspicious of Anna.

He had begun to see her as a potential suspect.
