Chapter 148

Thalia followed Asher in a dazed state to the local police station to give their statements.

Upon learning Asher’s identity, the police’s attitude toward them improved noticeably. From the officers, Asher discovered that the person who had called the police was a man whose identity had been traced through technical

means.

This person was Drake Ashcroft.

An officer explained: “The caller claimed his girlfriend had been kidnapped and taken to Harwich. He also mentioned that the kidnappers were likely armed. Upon receiving this report, we immediately initiated a search operation and, once we confirmed the location, rushed to the scene…”

The police shared this information with Asher privately; Thalia wasn’t privy to it.

Soon, they completed their statements.

Thalia emerged from the interview room.

“You’re free to go now,” an officer told them.

“Officer, my sister has been kidnapped. Please, you must save her… the man who took her… he’s a complete madman. My sister is only eight years old. In his hands, she… I…” Thalia was extremely distraught, her words broken and tearful.

Although Lucy was her stepmother’s daughter, they had been together for so long that Thalia genuinely loved her half–sister. Though she rarely expressed it verbally, in her heart she had accepted Victoria and Lucy as her family.

She couldn’t bear to imagine what would happen if her sister never returned…

“The suspect crossed the border by helicopter,” the officer explained. “We’re attempting to liaise with Dutch authorities to request assistance in apprehending him. We’ll notify you immediately if we receive any informa

Harwich was already near the border. The abandoned building Malfoy had chosen wasn’t far from it, allowing the helicopter to quickly cross into Dutch territory. From there, they could return to Russia via the Netherlands, placing them beyond British jurisdiction.

The British police could only contact their Dutch counterparts to request Malfoy’s arrest.

Malfoy and Jerry had escaped by helicopter, while all his other associates were arrested.

Faced with Thalia’s inconsolable sobbing, Asher knew that words would offer little comfort. He remained silent, standing beside her and gently holding her hand in quiet support.
