Chapter 440: The Cage family estate
"Well, Inspector?" Elizabeth asked, her voice laced with absolute contempt. "Does this meet your high standards of evidence? Or should I forward this directly to the Commissioner and the Chief of Police along with your badge number?"The inspector swallowed hard, his throat dry as bone. "Miss Bolton... I... I was simply acting on the initial report—""Save it," Elizabeth cut him off sharply. She turned to the two officers holding Jacob. "Unchain my brother. Immediately."The officers didn't hesitate.They practically fumbled with the key, unclipping the handcuffs and stepping back.Jacob rubbed his wrists, stumbling forward and throwing his arms around Elizabeth. "Big sis... thank you. I swear I didn't do anything, I swear...""I know, Jacob. Hush now, it's over," Elizabeth murmured soft words of comfort, patting his back before turning her sharp eyes back onto Victoria, who was now trembling violently on the sofa.Elizabeth tucked the phone into her own purse. "This phone stays with
Chapter 439: Give me the phone
Alistair sighed.It was clear that the inspector wasn't going to listen.There was a chance he'd been bought out but Alistair decided not to focus on that for now.Instead, he glanced at Jacob. “Who invited you to this party?”“Dustin Cage, it was Dustin!” Jacob said without hesitation.Elizabeth frowned. “Dustin?”As in the same Dustin Cage she had rejected countless times and had sworn to get back at her for humiliating him?That same one?She immediately began to make a guess as to the true nature of what was happening.“Where is Dustin?” Elizabeth asked. “He left the party early. He said he had a headache.” Jacob said. Meanwhile, Alistair glanced at Victoria. “Miss Beckham, would you be so kind as to help us with your cellphone? I would like to take a look at your most recent conversations with Mister Dustin Cage.”“Unbelievable, just how heartless can you be? She just suffered through an assault and instead of you sympathizing with her, you are actually treating her like a susp
Chapter 438: Accused of Assault
Jacob raised his head and immediately called out. “Big sis, save me!” He tried to rush to her side but the officers held him down. “What do you think you are doing? Let my brother go this instant!” Elizabeth ordered.“I'm sorry, Miss Bolton but that won't be possible. Your brother has committed a vile act and he has to be punished. The only reason I allowed him to call you here is because I respect the Bolton family and everything they have done for this city.” The middle aged inspector remarked.“What are you talking about? What did my brother do?” Elizabeth questioned. The inspector sighed. “Miss Bolton, your brother assaulted and forced himself on the daughter of a member of Parliament, Veronica Beckham.” “What!?” Elizabeth could hardly believe her ears.Her brother had assaulted a woman?“Big sis, it's a lie, I swear it's a huge lie. I never even touched her!” Jacob cried out.Elizabeth felt the room tilt slightly beneath her heels, her chest tightening as the inspector's word
Chapter 437: Incident at Goldridge suites
Alistair gently reached over and placed a reassuring hand on Elizabeth's shoulder, the faint, warm trace of his celestial qi seeping through her coat to instantly soothe her frantic nerves. "Breathe, Elizabeth. Panicking will not solve whatever trap he has walked into."Elizabeth took a deep, shuddering breath, feeling the cold knot in her chest ease under his touch. "He was supposed to be landing at the airport today from his university in the Capital. I have no idea why he’s at Goldridge Suites or what kind of trouble he’s in.""Then let us go and find out," Alistair said calmly, opening the driver's side door for her before walking around to the passenger seat. "Get in. I will accompany you."Relief washed over Elizabeth as she quickly nodded and slid into the driver's seat. Knowing Alistair was by her side made the oppressive weight of her anxiety feel infinitely lighter.She started the engine, shifted into drive, and tore out of the hospital parking lot toward the central distr
Chapter 436: Big sis, save me!
Alistair turned and walked toward the suite’s balcony doors, looking through the glass down at the quiet hospital courtyard below. Two elite guards from Isabella’s private force stood hidden among the manicured hedges, their sharp eyes scanning the perimeter with unyielding vigilance.Satisfied that the floor was completely secure, Alistair exited the VIP suite, shutting the door behind him with a subtle, metallic click.As he walked down the quiet marble corridor toward the elevators, he retrieved his phone and dialled Master Xie's number.It rang only once before Master Xie picked.“Master Reid.”“Has there been any movement from Elder Kuro's associates?” Alistair asked.Master Xie replied. “Not at all, Master Reid. In fact, Elder Zhao has reason to believe that the demonic cultivators currently in Haven have gone into hiding. It's most likely that with their eyes and ears in the Beggars sect gone, they don't dare to make themselves known anymore.”“That's to be expected.”“Indeed,
Chapter 435: Walking the path of healing and combat
"A foundation is only as strong as its quietest days, Elizabeth," Alistair said smoothly, his hands resting casually in his trouser pockets as they reached the elevator bay. "Your family stood firm when others flinched. Protecting that resolve costs me very little."The elevator doors chimed and slid open.As they stepped inside, Elizabeth remarked. “What happened with the puppeteer… I was really scared. I hated the fact that I couldn't do anything to save my dad or myself.”“You can't expect yourself to be more than what you are capable of. It is impossible.” Alistair simply said. “Regardless, as your disciple, I should be able to do more.”Alistair chuckled. “You are practicing medical arts, not how to fight.”“Then I'd like to learn how to fight as well. I want to be able to defend myself.” Elizabeth said without hesitation.Alistair raised a brow. “Martial arts are significantly harder to learn than the medical arts. Also, learning both at the same time is no easy task. It would
