The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 454 Causing a Commotion

Michael's face was dark and cold as he spoke, "Aren't you gonna look into this more? There's clearly something off here."

Michael couldn't wrap his head around why the Emerald City police would just take Dean's word for it and let Sophia go. They were letting a murderer loose, putting Emily in danger.

The Emerald City police definitely didn't want to cross Michael.

He was a big deal at Smith Corporation, and more importantly, the police department had gotten funding from Mason before.

But still, rules were rules, and the law was the law.

Without enough evidence, they couldn't keep Sophia at the station.

"Mr. Smith, I get where you're coming from. We've done a thorough investigation, and from what I know, Sophia is Emily's sister. She said so herself. Since Sophia is Emily's sister, it's a family matter.

"There's a saying that even a fair judge can't resolve family disputes. Maybe there's some misunderstanding here? We can help mediate, but that would require Emily and Sophia to sit down together, and we..."

Before the officer could finish, Michael cut him off, clearly frustrated. "Their issues can't be fixed with just a few words from you!"

The fact that they couldn't hold Sophia made him furious and helpless.

He started blaming himself. Since he had suspected Sophia from the start, why hadn't

he kept a closer eye on her? Why hadn't he gathered evidence? Why had he let her roam free until now?

"As cops, you should be digging for the truth! Let me spell it out for you, she might be Emily's sister, but she's just her half-sister, an illegitimate child."

In his desperation, Michael nearly shouted at the officers, not caring about the onlookers.
