Smiling, Darnell pushed open the door to the interrogation room. At the sight of Yvette sitting on the chair with a smirk, his smile widened, though it couldn't hide his awkwardness and resignation. The young police officer inside the interrogation room leaped to his feet when he saw Darnell. "Mr. Tucker," he greeted Darnell and stepped aside.

Suri was stunned to hear the police officer address Darnell so respectfully. 'Why is a high-ranking officer handling such a minor case personally? Is it because I'm a student at Betrico University?' Darnell walked to the table. He paused for a few seconds but didn't sit down.

Yvette lifted her gaze slightly and glanced at him. Then, she leaned back casually and crossed her legs. "Have a seat."

The next second, Darnell sat down promptly with his hands on his knees. His posture was impeccable.

Wendy, Suri, and the others were stunned.

"Ms. Zeller, when did you return to Betrico?" Darnell asked. "How have you been? Are you well? You could have just called if you needed anything-why take the trouble to come here?" Yvette remained cross-legged. Her smile carried a hint of playful irreverence as she arched a brow and replied, "It's nice to see you again, Mr. Tucker."

Darnell wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead, smiling nervously. Yvette's greeting sounded more ominous than friendly to him. Truth be told, he'd rather be sick in bed than face Yvette. Usually the interrogator, he now felt like the suspect. The roles had reversed-Yvette seemed to be conducting the questioning while he felt inexplicably guilty.

Despite being the deputy police chief, Darnell somehow felt uneasy in his own territory.

"Surely you jest, Ms. Zeller. No wonder I had a gut feeling that something good would happen today. It's because we have an important guest like you visiting our police station," he said smilingly. His words were so convincing even a ghost might believe them, though they were a complete fabrication.
