Chapter 155

"Quick! Surround this place. No one leaves!"

A squad of heavily armed guards burst in, blocking every door and passage.

The lethal aura radiating from their weapons made everyone's blood run cold.

"Who is Sophia Lancaster? Don't make me repeat myself!" the leading soldier demanded, his gaze as sharp as a knife

Everyone froze in shock, watching the guards swarm inside. They exchanged confused glances.

"Officer, what is going on?" Florence asked, mustering her courage.

As an ordinary civilian, she had never experienced anything like this. Although she knew she had done nothing wrong, the will felt guilty.

"Are you Sophia Lancaster?"

"Me? No."

"I'm asking: who is Sophia Lancaster?" the officer repeated in a grim tone, eyes brimming with hostility.

“I am.....” Sophia slowly stood up, trying to appear brave. "Officer, what can I do for you?"

Come with us immediately to assist in an investigation!" the officer ordered.

"W-what did I do wrong?"

"We suspect you're connected to the murder of Harlan-one of our key military assets."

"You think I killed Harlan?"

The accusation was shocking. Sophia did not seem capable of murder at all.

"Officer, you must be mistaken," Florence interjected. "My daughter is young and innocent! There's no way she's a killer"

"That's right! My sister is no murderer. Don't talk nonsense!" Jack slammed the table and stood up angrily.

"We'll determine the truth after the investigation," the guard replied coldly.

"Is that really necessary? We can all vouch for her!"

"That's right! Sophia is definitely not a killer!"
