Lily explained , “ Leon is violent . Whenever he was unhappy , he gave me a good beating . He even planned to sell me to an old man for
In a living hell , More than c , I wanted to kill him and then myself ”
That bank and gave her the courage to stand up to Leon and run away .
“ That girl did nothing wrong . Even if she were the murder , so what ? The corrupt ruined so many people, so didn’t he deserve to de ? Why do you go after good people instead of the bad ones ? ” Lily shouted
She then broke down , so the interrogation had to pause . Because of this incident , both Fryderyk and Jackson got a good lecture from their supervisor They were gelling nowhere with the case .
Fryderyk felt frustrated and annoyed . “ Back then , the people in charge of this case must have been aware of Lily’s misfortune , but why didn’t they give her a hand ? ”
Jackson sighed because he was as ignorant as Fryderyk . There was little he could do . He had talked with Lily’s mother , who already had a new family , and the latter refused to provide for Lily .
Night fell Joseph leamed from his good friend that Aria owned four percent of the Cole Group . He quickly called for a family meeting . “ Where’s Ana ? Why isn’t she here ?
Caleb replied blandly , “ Grandpa , didn’t you disown her ? Why should she be here ? ”
Joseph frowned deeply . “ Her surname is Saxon . She should be here even if I have disowned her . ” Never would he admit his mistake , even if there was strong evidence .
Caleb kept his mouth because it was useless to argue with Joseph .
“ Why was it held back from me that Aria owns four percent of the Cole Group ? ” Joseph demanded .
“ What ? ” Apart from Caleb , the others seemed appalled by the news .
With doubt , Luke asked , “ Why does she own the shares of the Cole Group ? ”

shares . ”
Logan frowned . “ Dad , those shares belong to Aria . What are you planning to do with her shares ? ”
“ Her shares ? ” Joseph sneered . “ If she weren’t a Saxon , could she marry into the Cole family ? ”
Caleb clenched his fists , irritated and frustrated . “ You can’t see Aria even if you want to . She was taken away by Fryderyk as the suspect of Declan’s death seven years ago . ”
“ What ” Zoe shouted in shock .
Aria was right in the middle of her meal when Fryderyk appeared . “ The Saxon family bailed you out . You can leave now . The investigation won’t stop , so

we need your cooperation at any moment . ”
Aria didn’t raise her head at all . “ Got you . Let me finish my meal first . ” Ater the meal , the heated out .
“ I’ll drive you home , ” Fryderyk offered . Aria responded with confusion , “ Officer , are we that close ? ”
Fryderyk looked surprised . “ Don’t you know me ? ”
“ Should I ? ”
Fryderyk choked with emotion . “ Your aunt is the wife of my uncle ,”
Without hesitation , Aria pulled open the car door , got in the backseat , and gave Fryderyk an address .
Fryderyk frowned . “ Aren’t you going back to the Saxon Manor ? ”
“ No.
“ I will have to take you there and make an apology . ” Over the phone , Fryderyk just had a good lecture from his grandmother .
Aria stayed silent , and Fryderyk took her silence as agreement .
Aria wondered about the choice of the Saxon family . Would they disown her at the news of her being the suspect ? Or spare no effort to protect her ?
