Chapter 78 Regretting His Past Actions

Seeing Luke's emotions running high, Nelson raised his hands and said, "Mr. Bolton, I understand you're anxious, but we need you to stay calm to help us replace Chloe quickly "Okay, I'll cooperate," Luke replied, his voice hoarse.

Nelson took statements from everyone, but his expression hardened when he turned to Anna.

"Anna, it's your tum.".

Quickly, my mom stepped forward, addressing Nelson with urgency, "Mr. Tucker, my daughter has a weak heart and can't handle too much stress. Please, ask me anything instead."

Nelson looked at my mom, who appeared deeply distressed, and his serious face grew even sterner. "Mr Sander, it strikes me s strange that your oldest daughter has been missing for so long, and yer you seem barely concerned. Even during the statement earlier, you didn't seem very worried. It was just your younger daughter making a statement, why the excessive anxiety? Given that Chloe is missing it's very likely that she met with foul play. But considering your family's apparent indifference towards her. I wouldn't rule out suicide either!" The room fell silent, the tension palpable.

"It's not that, I'm just worried about her health...

"Just a few questions won't hurt if she's innocent. Everyone must go through this; no exceptions, Nelson-

insisted.

After he left, my mom spent a long time comforting Anna, as if preparing her for a trial.

"Don't worry, just answer their questions," she advised.

"Okay, Mom," Anna replied, though her eyes betrayed a flicker of impatience.

Blame her perfect image for always making people overly protective.

When she entered the interrogation room, I noticed the curtains were drawn, and only a desk lamp lit the

space.

Only Nelson and Anna were left in the dimly lit room.

Nelson was seated behind the desk lamp, his form shrouded in shadows, obscuring his facial expressions. The room was filled with a palpable sense of oppression. Since I could not stray far from Luke, I stayed by the door.

As soon as it closed, I could no longer see inside.

I had a feeling that Nelson was suspicious of Anna.

He had begun to see her as a potential suspect.

Given her central role in many parts of the narrative and the motives that surfaced, Anna was often

Yet, I also knew that Anna had her defenses ready. Merely giving a statement or undergoing routine. questioning would not settle a woman as mentally resilient as her.

She had been inside longer than anyone else, which was starting to make my mom anxious.

"Amma's never had to deal with anything like this before and she's been in there so long. She must be scared, right?"

"Don't worry, the police are just trying to get to the bottom of things"

I found that comment laughable. She was not scared of even murder, so what could really frighten her?

After some time, Anna came out.

Her expression was unchanged, she clearly did not take the police interrogation to heart, confident in her ability to manage high-pressure situations,

On the other hand, Nelson looked grim and uncertain. He might have sensed something our Anna, but the evidence and her explanations left no room for him to pinpoint any discrepancies.

Anna could explain everything away as mere coincidence.

In police work, solid evidence is crucial, and without it, all theories remain

conjecture

"Honey, are you alright?"

I'm fine, I just told them the truth."

Anna even seemed unperturbed, "Can we go now?"

Nelson, with a sharp gaze, watched her coldly, "Your sister Chloe has been missing for a while now, and you don't seem very worried."

"Captain Tucker, people show their emotions in different ways, as you've mentioned. It's not like Chloe went missing yesterday. This past month, I've hardly slept or eaten, using up all my strength. As just an ordinary woman, I know there's nothing I can do but rely on you to hopefully uncover what happened to Chloe- Nelson found no grounds to keep her any longer. "You can leave, but be ready to come back if we call you."

"Okay, thank you for your efforts."

Luke spoke up at this moment, "Captain Tucker, you recovered that wedding dress. I'd like to see it." Considering he was involved in the case, he might provide useful clues, so they agreed. "Come with me."

The wedding dress was well preserved, and Luke probably did not expect to see it again at the police station. touch

He staggered towards the wedding dress hanging in the sealed bag, trembling as he reached out to touch

only to be stopped by Nelson.

"The wedding dress is the only clue we have now. We can't risk leaving unnecessary fingerprints," Nelson cautioned.

The high-end wedding dress, designed by a famous designer, still sparkled with diamonds even through the seal.

"Drip

A drop of water fell without warning, landing on the sealed bag and sliding down the smooth, transparent

film.

Turning around, I saw Luke, his face covered in tears.

His eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

"Mr. Bolton, based on the cut on the wedding dress and the information you provided, if the witness spoke the truth while in a clear state of mind, seeing the woman's wound at the waist matching the cut on the dress and the bloodstains, it is highly likely that Chloe was murdered. You need to prepare yourself for the possibility that she may not be alive."

Upon hearing this, Luke grabbed Nelson's hand, "No, Chloe can't be dead."

Pointing at the wedding dress, he seemed lost in his thoughts, "She must have been upset. We picked our the style of the wedding dress six months ago, and I called to change the embroidery later. This isn't the style Chloe liked! She despised this dress, that's why she deliberately ruined it!"

"Mr. Bolton, please try to stay calm. We'll start the police investigation soon. For now, go home and we'll notify you with any updates."

Seeing the wedding dress seemed to deeply affect Luke, likely reminding him of the times when he and I had just made up and were excitedly planning our wedding.

I had shown him the design sketches happily and asked him to choose a wedding dress.

However, during the wedding dress fitting. Anna tried it on before me and my family criticized me for interfering.

On the wedding day, I stood before him wearing a wedding dress that did not fit right.

Back then, I wore the ill-fitting wedding dress without a smile, trying to get back at both of them.

His attention was all on Anna, barely noticing me.

The first time he really looked at this wedding dress was when it turned into evidence after my death, reflecting his regret.

Verwhelmed with emotions, Luke's eyes filled with remorse.

He slapped himself hard, exclaiming, "I deserve this!"

""Mr. Bolton, please, calm down."

Luke knelt in front of the wedding dress, clutching it tightly, tears streaming down his face as he cried out, "Chloe, I was wrong. I truly realize that now,
