Chapter 297

The sheriff sighed and tucked the file away.

The sheriff found the case to be somewhat tricky.

In this case, if Ben and Susan are really involved, the fallout would be massive.

Ben held the reins of Coraland’s information sector. If anything happened to him, the local economy might take a step backward.

Besides Susan’s own abilities, she now had the added advantage of her parents being the king and

queen of Tonico.

The couple, finally back together with their long–lost daughter, stood firm against relentless pressure to return home, choosing to remain in Coraland instead.

What would happen if they were told Susan had to be arrested?

What would the couple’s reaction be?

Could the relationship between Coraland and Tonico remain as harmonious?

See, the case was not considered such a big deal.

Yet, since it involved Ben and Susan, it also bore implications for the very fate of Coraland as a nation.

Now, this case must be investigated.

Not only must it be investigated, but it must be clear and understandable.

But the entire investigation process must be covert. It absolutely couldn’t be leaked to the public.

The sheriff thought this way, carefully securing the file in the safe.

What a mess!

The sheriff was busy for a long while, only returning home in the middle of the night.

He had just dozed off when a phone call startled him awake.

He hurriedly picked up the phone.

He suddenly looked pale after a brief exchange, “What? It’s out there? The info hit the Internet! Seriously? I thought we had a deal that it was top secret!”

“Fine, wait at the station. I’ll be right there.”
