Facade of Love

Chapter 136 Don’t Call Me That Anymore.

At the harbor, after Officer Jackson took away Lucas‘ other subordinates, he came over to greet us. After a brief exchange, he turned to me and said, “Ms. Scott, I will report the details of this incident to my superiors. Thank you for your significant help. Without you, we might have let Lucas escape.”

I shook my head, still somewhat uncertain, and asked him, “Officer Jackson, is Lucas really dead? Did you find his b*dy?”

Officer Jackson smiled faintly and reassured me, “The explosion of the yacht was quite powerful, destroying many things. Lucas‘ b*dy was probably incinerated, and given the vastness of the sea, can’t salvage his remains. But don’t worry, he was shot in the leg, wounded in the arm by you, and injured during the fight with Mr. Young in the cabin. In such a condition, he had no chance to jump into the sea or save himself in just a few seconds, so his death is certain.”

Relieved by his explanation, I felt much lighter.

After a pause, remembering Alex, I asked, “Officer Jackson, was Alex caught?”

“Yes, he was caught,” he replied, and continued, “Caleb and Bennett too. Don’t worry, we will give you a proper explanation.”

I nodded and thanked him.

After speaking with me, Officer Jackson turned to Idris, hesitating slightly with a hint of regret on his face, “Mr. Young, the clue from Lucas might be temporarily lost. For now, we can only hope that his subordinates can provide some useful information.”

Idris pursed his l*ps, his handsome face showing a hint of coldness. He nodded slightly without saying much. He was never one to show his emotions, but I could see from the faint gleam in his eyes that he was disappointed.

Disappointed?

I wondered, puzzled. What clue was Officer Jackson talking about? Why was Idris disappointed?
