105 Give Up

No one paid attention to Connor’s desperate roar at

that moment.

When the police played the recording, they had already convinced the reporters.

The police continued. “Of course, this recording alone cannot prove that he’s the murderer. We also found his discarded phone, and after restoring its settings, we uncovered several recordings of the victim from that day that matched what Miss Olsen had said earlier. This is enough to prove that he had killed the victim before Miss Olsen arrived and tried to frame her. We

have sufficient evidence to make an arrest, and here is

the warrant!”

After the police showed the warrant, the reporters in front of them immediately dispersed.

The police swiftly apprehended Connor and left quickly.

The live broadcast ended there.

105 Give Up

The Horton family.

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

Lewis looked at Jake with a grave expression. “Miss Olsen isn’t the murderer, and I hope I won’t hear that word from you again!”

Jake fell silent.

Just then, the butler suddenly entered the room. “Sir, there are police officers outside. They want Miss Olsen to go to the police station and assist with the

investigation.””

Upon hearing this, Jake found his courage again. “Uncle, even if she isn’t the murderer, she’s still connected to this case! It’s unlucky for someone to keep going to the police station. It’s not suitable for her to stay in the Horton residence.”

But as soon as he finished speaking, the butler coughed and said sheepishly “They’re looking for…

Miss Isla Olsen.”

Jake Horton was shocked.
