Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 175

Inside the police station, Brielle was diligently answering an officer’s questions.

She had handed over Sophia’s photo to the authorities, hoping they could glean some clues about her whereabouts from the background scenery.

The police quickly got in touch with the Rowland family and forwarded them the photograph.

Since it was Brielle’s lead, she wasn’t excluded from the conversation with the Rowland family.

The one who answered the phone was Tessa. Upon hearing it was Brielle’s photo, her first response was, “Why haven’t you arrested Brielle?”

The officer, caught off guard, glanced reflexively at Brielle and replied somewhat defensively. “Ms. Tessa, you might have misunderstood. It was Miss Brielle who provided the photo, and she is the kidnapper’s next target.”

“Officer, you say Brielle is the next target, but what connection does she have with my cousin? If the kidnapper’s motive is to abduct wealthy young ladies, then Brielle certainly wouldn’t be on their list. Besides, everyone knows there’s bad blood between Sophia and Brielle, and it was at last night’s banquet that Sophia disappeared. Everyone is fully aware of how Brielle strutted around at the banquet.”

Tessa’s tone was full of conviction, “Brielle is the most likely suspect for Sophia’s abduction. If you don’t arrest her, I’ll take this to court and have a subpoena delivered to her doorstep.”

The officer was at a loss for words, unprepared for such a blunt accusation from the Rowland family.

“Ms. Tessa, if the subpoena reaches me, I’ll surely sign my name neatly. I
