Fryderyk’s mind went blank with a loud buzz . He stopped in his tracks . “ What did you just say ? ”
Leon , as if grabbing onto a lifeline , trembled slightly as excement filled his voice , “ saw her kill someone . I was so scared stabbed without thinking ”
“ Who did she kill ? ” Fryderyk asked .
“ Declan , the corrupt director from Welenting City , ” Leon answered immediately . “ Seven years ago , my daughter and were the first ones on the scene
letail from that night .
Even though it had been years , Leon remembered every detail
Leon muttered , “ No wonder that little brat ran out to shield her . They must have known each other for a long time ?
It hit Leon then – Lily had deliberately led him to misinterpret everything that night .
Overwhelmed by excitement , Lean recounted everything in vivid detail , not skipping a single moment .
“ So , you
see her lace clearly ? You didn’t actually witness her killing him ? ” Fryderyk asked after hearing him out .
didn’t see
Leon hadn’t seen the woman’s face clearly that night , but Lily’s reaction had convinced him it was her
So Leon insisted , “ I saw it clearly ”
Fryderyk stared at him , his gaze turning cold . “ Leon , this isn’t a reason for you to try to kill Aria . You need to understand one thing if you lie under oath , you’re the only one who’ll end up convicted . If you cooperate with the investigation and help us find out the truth , you might get your sentence reduced . ”
Leon hesitated for a full five minutes before finally nodding . “ Alright … I’ll talk ”
The young officer followed behind him , notebook in hand . “ Captain Fletcher , what’s our next move ?”
“ First , pull the files from that old case , ” Fryderyk answered . “ Start digging into Aria’s background quietly . Focus especially on Lily’s spending records . ”
“ What about the woman who hired Leon to kill Aria ? ” the young officer asked .
According to Leon , a woman all wrapped up in clothing had handed him 16 thousand dollars in cash upfront , promising another 300 thousand dollars after the job was done .
Fryderyk pressed a hand against his brow . “ Let the Saxon family handle that part ”
The young officer quickly agreed , then after a moment , sighed heavily . “ Captain’s aunt is your actual aunt by marriage . If they find out
you’re investigating Aria as a suspect in Declan’s case … you might not be able to
your face at home anymore . ”
“ If she’s innocent , I’ll personally go to the Saron family and apologize , ” Fryderyk said calmly . “ But if she really did kill Declan , the law would deal with
her .
Fryderyk added , “ Keep this quiet . No leaking anything outside , She’s about to file for divorce soon , ”
“ Got it , Captain Fletcher , ” the young officer said ,
Daniel had believed that if someone like Aria , an outsider , could master the company’s operations within two short months , then his grand surely do no worse .
That was until the board called him . Only then did Daniel realize Liam had never once stepped foot inside the company .

Daniel swallowed his anger and dialed . “ Where are you right now ? ”
Grandpa , I’m at Hannahh place , ” Liam answered .
Daniel’s temples throbbed with fury . He slapped his desk hard . “ How long has it been since you went to the company ? ”
Liam frore for a second , “ Grandpa , I studied medicine . I don’t know how to manage a company . As long as Uncle’s there , it’s fine . ”
As Daniel had feared – Liam hadn’t even tried to show up .
Daniel forced himself to calm down . “ Aria pulled the Saxon Group out of the collaboration . The project in Northside ? The Hayes Group specifically demanded Aria’s signature or they’d refuse to let us participate , The Stars Group is willing to lose 25 million dollars in penalties just to cancel the medical robots project with us ,
