Tsundere Wife And Kawaii Kid

Chapter 62 – Jane Face’s Petra 

3rd Person 

“What’s wrong?” Ethan asked nervously, afraid of hearing one more word of bad news in this horrendous week.

“We don’t have enough on Eve to get a warrant for her arrest. The only evidence we can find is circumstantial.” The investigator sighed.

“I thought you said she was growing the flowers used for the poison?” Ethan growled, his head reeling. “And after the car accident, and that recording? She’s the only one who has motive!”

“The flowers are a common garden plant, half the residents in the city have them.” The investigator answered. “And yes, the brakes were cut on her car, but we can’t prove she did it. At best we can make a case for criminal negligence and child endangerment between having Paisley in the front seat and encouraging her to run away.”

“Then arrest her for that!” Ethan insisted.

“She would be out on bail within the hour.” The detective replied, “if we want to convince a judge that she’s too dangerous to be out among the public, we need to get her on attempted murder. We just don’t have a strong enough case at the moment though. I’m not saying we won’t keep working, I’m just saying it isn’t going to be fast.”

“This is unbelievable.” Ethan snarled, “Every second that woman is free, my child is at risk. Mark my words, if Eve

1 288 Vouches remains on the loose, someone else is going to get hurt.” He couldn’t help but think that now Jane was back, she and the other pups might be in danger too. If Eve knew they were his and was willing to kill in order to get one child out of the way, what might she do in order to get Jane and the others out of the way too?

“I’m very sorry sir.” The investigator assured the Alpha, truly meaning it.

“What if I ordered you to arrest her anyway?” Ethan inquired, spiraling slightly, “what if I ordered that she not be released on bail?”

“Alpha, are you suggesting…” The man tried to figure out how to push back with accusing his Alpha of a crime, “Eve has rights too… if we did that, it would be considered a miscarriage of justice.”

Goddess damn it! Ethan thought ferociously, recalling the last time he put Justice over his family. He’d ended up punishing Jane for a crime she didn’t commit, leading to the divorce and everything since. He couldn’t risk making that kind of mistake again, after all, Eve had engineered the event that led to that catastrophe as well. “It’s my right as Alpha to overrule the law in matters of pack security. This woman is a danger to the public – get the damn warrants, l’ll deal with the judge.”

A beat of silence floated through the phone, and for a moment Ethan thought the detective might refuse, but
