Chapter 216

Since the Fuller family had employed Ruben, his murder naturally drew police scrutiny. Standard procedure dictated questioning anyone who had interacted with him before his death. Kayla was the first person in line to be questioned.

When questioned, Kayla answered every inquiry smoothly, her expression calm and composed, leaving no room for suspicion.

Her explanation was simple-it had nothing to do with her.

Kayla recounted her story effortlessly. "That night, Ruben drove me to the shopping district. I told him he could take a break while I shopped. But when I finished and came out, he was gone. The car was missing, and I couldn't reach him on the phone." Dexter, standing nearby, chimed in, "That's right, Captain Quinn. My daughter wouldn't lie. She was furious about having to take a cab home and even yelled at me about firing Ruben. Who could've guessed this would happen to him..." Laurence, a seasoned investigator and longtime acquaintance of Dexter, was unbothered by personal connections when it came to his work.

"Mr. Fuller," he interrupted, "I'm questioning your daughter. Please don't interfere."

Laurence wrapped up the formal questions and turned to leave with his team. However, just before stepping out, he stopped and asked Kayla, "By the way, what did you buy during your shopping trip?"

"Well..." Kayla paused for a second. Then, she went with the flow, answering, "A watch, clothes, and accessories."
