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.

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..."

"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.
