Chapter 354

Meanwhile, at the detention center.

Alex had been interrogated for three straight days and nights. The harsh glare of the overhead lights beat down on him, tormenting both his mind and body.

Yet, he withstood it all.

Whenever he thought of Elspeth and his daughter who consumed his every thought yet whom he could never get close to.

Even if the sky fell down, he would hold it up.

At that moment, the door to the interrogation room opened, and Aaron sauntered in with an unapologetic air of indifference.

In front of suspects and criminals, he was no longer the wealthy and noble Aaron. He exuded an aura of danger and intimidation, commanding respect and even fear from those on the streets.

“Still hanging in there, I see?”

Yawning, Aaron pulled out a steel chair and casually took a seat. “Hey, get Alex some coffee to perk him up. After all, the night has just begun.”

“Yes. Captain Ashbourne.”

Alex gritted his teeth and chuckled bitterly. “Captain Ashbourne, don’t you get tired grilling me like this every day?”

“Not at all, I’m young. I can handle it.” Aaron grinned mischievously.

“I’ve already told you everything I know during the past two days. You can question me all night, a thousand times even, my answer will stay the same.”

Aaron narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smirk playing on his lips. “I’m tired of the old questions. Let’s try something new.”

He placed a photograph of an item in front of Alex.

Alex looked down, his body jolting forward at the sight of the lily necklace in the photo. Despite his best attempts to control his expression, the twitch of his muscles around his eyes betrayed his fear!

“Do you recognize this necklace?” Aaron asked, his gaze never leaving Alex, as his fingertips lightly tapped on the desk.

“No.” Alex answered without hesitation, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

“It’s your own possession, and you don’t recognize it?”

Aaron’s smile widened, his tone mocking. “You wrapped it in exquisite silk and stored it in an expensive jewelry box. It’s clear you value it highly. And now you’re saying you don’t. recognize this precious item of yours? Who are you trying to fool here?”
