Queenie sat on the couch. The moment the doorbell rang, she could not help but jump in shock.

The calming doorbell sound sent shivers down her spine.

Queenie looked at the maid who was going to answer the door.

The maid glanced at the people outside the door who were dressed in uniform. She knew they were the police without needing to ask. She did not immediately open the door. Instead, she looked at Queenie and said, "Madam, the police are here."

Queenie's heart sank. Her throat went dry, and her voice trembled. "Let them in."

The maid nodded and confirmed the identity of the visitors through the video doorbell camera before opening the door for the police.

In a span of a mere minute, the police officers walked in. Francis was leading the way. He should have finished his night shift and gone off duty, but this case was significant, and the chief instructed him to handle it before getting off work.

“Good morning, Mrs. Norman. I'm Officer Francis Brown. We need Ms. Leia's cooperation to investigate a case at the station. We've already spoken to Mr. Norman on the phone, and he told us that Ms. Leia is upstairs. May we take her with us now?" Francis spoke politely.

"She's upstairs." Queenie took a deep breath and looked at the maid. "Take the police upstairs."

Since they had already informed Jack, she did not need to talk to the police.

The maid nodded and led Francis upstairs.

As Queenie watched the three police officers follow the maid up the stairs, she clenched her fists tightly.

The maid led the police officers to the door of Leia's bedroom on the upper floor.

Surabaya rose to her feet and nodded at them when she saw the police officers.

Francis asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

It was difficult for the maid to explain that Surabaya was hired by Jack to look after Leia. Hence, she had no choice but to say, "She’s a guest of the Norman family. Ms. Norman is inside. I'll open the door for you."
