Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 143

Chapter 143

Truth be told, Callum only ordered his men to surround the Sullivan Residence because he worried that he couldn’t find the suspect if Elspeth was in danger. He didn’t expect to get a lucky shot that he could use his men’s help to prevent the suspect from escaping right now.

“A servant led me to the room just now. I still remember his face.” Elspeth pointed at one of the servants in the crowd. The man’s legs went weak at her words as if on cue, his body trembled uncontrollably.

“Why worry? I haven’t said anything yet.”

Folding her arms, Elspeth paced back and forth in front of the man as she watched the sweat rolling down his forehead. Once she thought the time was right, she began, “I have a question for you. Did Alaina ask you to lead me to the room?”

The man kept Alaina’s words in his mind. As he remembered his innocent child, he gritted his teeth and answered, “I don’t even know Miss Sullivan at all. I only brought you to the room because you asked me to because you drank a little too much.”

Elspeth raised her brow. “It seems like you made up your mind.”

She offered the man a chance to speak the truth, yet he refused. Thus, she decided that she had no reason to sympathize with him.

“I have nothing to do with this. You’re only wronging an innocent man.”

Alaina raised her chin. A proud look was showing on her face. “Did you see that, Elspeth? The heavens see every act of man. Aren’t you afraid of the consequences your lies will bring?”

Consequences? Come on, it’ll only lead to your damnation. Elspeth thought to herself.

Studying the man’s uniform, she smiled. “You have a daughter, am I right?”

He was taken aback for a moment because he didn’t expect to hear such words from her. However, when he noticed that Elspeth’s gaze was resting on his collar, he couldn’t help but ask, “How did you know that?”

“Your shirt is ironed, and it doesn’t have any odor. This explains that you are married, and your wife irons your clothes every day. A moment ago, you involuntarily switched on your phone when you were anxious. I noticed you set the picture of an adorable girl as your lock screen. She resembles you a lot. I suppose she’s your daughter.”
