Chapter 317

“Okay,” he responded casually as if agreeing on an insignificant matter.

As Yuliana raised her head slightly, her eyes widened and quickly turned red with

tears.

She bit her lip firmly, forcing herself to blink back the tears in her eyes a little. Then, she took a few deep breaths, pulled open the door, and walked out.

When Yuliana walked out, Zayne was leaning against the wall and fiddling with his phone. He appeared distant, as though he was deeply engrossed in thought.

Yuliana approached him. “Mr. Zamora.”

Upon hearing Yuliana’s voice, Zayne finally came back to his senses and turned to face her.

His

gaze briefly paused when he saw her reddened eyes. “Are you okay?” he asked gentlemanly.

Yuliana shook her head lightly without saying anything.

Zayne also did not like to probe into matters between spouses.

But he did have some insider knowledge about this case. It was just that Christopher was not willing to disclose the actual situation, and no additional evidence had been found.

Zayne averted his gaze from Yuliana’s face and asked, “Has he told you yet?”

“No.”

Christopher’s attitude earlier was apparent. Even if she had asked him, he wouldn’t have answered either.

Although it was not yet certain whether Scarlett’s death had any direct relation to Annabelle, Annabelle definitely had something to do with Christopher becoming a suspect.

Christopher had, once again, put his own life on the line to ensure Annabelle’s well-being.

Hearing Yuliana’s response, Zayne knew he had come in vain again today. Nevertheless, if there were no evidence in favor of Christopher in the near future, the police’s evidence would basically be sufficient to convict him of the murder.
