Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 153~ Divorce agreement

Ryan narrowed his eyes at Jason. He asked, "Did Celeste tell you about the kidnapping? Or you did a background check on me?"

"I found out about it myself. I'm offering my help only because I don't want the culprit to keep hurting people for her own gains," Jason replied.

"Her?" Ryan remarked, arching an eyebrow. "You know the culprit?"

Jason clenched his hands into fists. He said, "Trust me, I wish I didn't."

"Who is it?" Ryan asked although he already had an inkling.

Jason's troubled expression told him it was someone close to him. If so, was Jason really going to help him catch the culprit? Or did he want to get involved to protect the culprit?

"I can't tell you right now. I need to find proof first. Once I do and it's proven that the culprit kidnapped you and attempted murder, I'll lead the police to capture them myself," Jason proclaimed.

Ryan studied Jason's face again. His brows were furrowed, his jaw tight and his fists clenched.

Arching an eyebrow again, Ryan asked, "Are you sure you can catch the culprit? What if it's someone close to you?"

Jason's jaw tightened. He looked Ryan in the eye and answered, "No one is above the law."

When Jason left, Lora stepped into the office.
