Chapter 438 An Uninvited Guest at the Warm Family Dinner


Seeing Ambrose stroll in, Neil thought he looked a bit guilty.

He must be freaking out now, right? That was why he was scared Neil might spill something to Stuart.

"You're here to for Todd's case, right?" Neil asked.

"Really?" Ambrose replied, sounding genuinely excited. "Is there finally some progress on Todd's case? Who's the killer? Have they been caught?"

"Almost there," Neil said, pulling out a pack of cigarettes, taking one out, and handing it to Ambrose.

Ambrose glanced at the cigarette, realizing something, then took it. Neil lit it for him.

Ambrose had never smoked before. He tried to play it cool, but the first puff made his throat burn, and he couldn't help but cough.

"Looks like you don't know how to smoke, huh?"

Before Ambrose could respond, Tommy walked in with medicine in one hand and a cup of water in the other, respectfully saying, "Mr. Vale, it's time for your medication. The doctor said it can't be delayed." "Medication?" Neil asked, "Is Mr. Vale sick?"

"Mr. Vale's fine, just severe pharyngitis," Tommy said, handing him the medicine and water, then quickly taking the cigarette from his hand. "Mr. Vale, the doctor said with your condition, you shouldn't smoke." "I remember the doctor's words, but since Detective Jackson personally offered me a cigarette, I couldn't refuse," Ambrose replied smoothly.

"Mr. Vale, come on, you're putting me in a tough spot," Neil said, taking the medicine from him and examining it closely. It was indeed for pharyngitis.

Neil watched Ambrose take the medicine, then looked at Ambrose and Tommy, asking, "The people around Mr. Vale are really capable. Your previous assistant, Denny, was sharp, and this is..." "Tommy." Tommy quickly introduced himself.

"Right, Tommy. I remember. You were at Nexus Innovations before. Impressive! True talent always stands out, no matter where it's placed," Neil said, patting Tommy on the shoulder.

Tommy just smiled, and then Neil said to Stuart, "Stuart, I'll have my guys send you this surveillance footage later. Watch it carefully and get back to me. I won't disturb your work any longer. I'm out." "Detective Jackson, take care," Tommy politely saw him out.

Stuart never cared about Ambrose, so he never knew whether Ambrose smoked or not.
