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."

"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.
