198 Evidence

Holly stood gasping at the top of the staircase, her voice calm and indifferent, carrying a sense of

impartiality and integrity that left no room for

favoritism.

Clad in her police uniform, her presence commanded

respect.

When Keira saw her, she was slightly taken aback.

She had just sent that recording to Holly not more than half an hour ago, how had she managed to get here so quickly?

As Keira pondered, Holly cut through the crowd of reporters, arriving in front of her.

Isla’s heart skipped a beat upon seeing her.

But then she thought she was overreacting, that not every police sighting should remind her of Connor, who should have been transferred to his cell block by that time… right?

As she was contemplating, Jake said, “Officer, what do you mean by that?”

Holly answered, “It means that the child really isn’t yours. There’s no need to be too heartbroken over it.”

Upon hearing this, Melissa frowned. “Without

evidence, such accusations shouldn’t be made

carelessly! Officer, do you realize the impact of rumors and slander can be deadly to a family’s reputation?”

Isla seized the chance to lower her head and

weep. “Holly, I know you and Keira are good friends. You’ve been inseparable since middle school, but as a police officer, how can you be so biased! You should be seeking justice for someone like me!”

Hearing this coaxing plea, Holly frowned, and with a cold laugh, she retorted, “Who says I don’t have evidence?”

She took out her phone, opened the photo album, and held up a photo for the first branch of the family to see. “Look carefully. This is the record of Isla and Connor checking into a hotel!”

After saying this, she attempted to hand the photo to the reporters.

Isla’s pupils constricted.
