The detective immediately called one of his officers, who entered with two bags to collect the samples.

"This is illegal! You're doing this against my will!"

"It's curious that you're making such a fuss," the detective began. "I mean, if you're Deborah's biological father, why are you afraid of a simple DNA test?"

"Besides, it isn't illegal if the sample was obtained during a fight you had with Mr. Foster," Christian pointed out with a sideways smile.

"..." Frederick gritted his teeth because their arguments were valid, but if the test was conducted, his lie would be exposed, and that meant he wouldn't leave that cell because everything would go downhill from there. The detective noticed Frederick's attitude, which indicated he was trying to replace a way to sabotage the test, but he wouldn't allow it.

"Hey Max," he said, looking at the officer who was putting Nicholas's evidence into a bag. "Tell the lab that these samples are a priority because I need those results as soon as possible."

"Sure, boss, I'll let them know," Max replied, quickly leaving the room.

"Hey, stop him!" Frederick tried to move, forgetting he was handcuffed to the chair, causing him to fall to

the floor.

"How curious, it seems your arrogance is gone," the detective mocked. "But you know, I'd like to make a bet with you."

"What kind of bet?"

"On how you'll die. Will you rot in prison? Or die mysteriously in your cell?" he asked as he approached him, roughly helping him up.

"Are you threatening me?" Frederick asked, wincing in pain as the detective gripped his arms tightly.

""Not at all."

"Fine, keep hurting me, but I warn you that my lawyer will use all these assaults against you to ruin your lives. I won't hesitate to sue for millions!"

1 doubt that'll happen; I never threatened you, and I have witnesses on my side. My comment was only because despite the security here, the walls have ears, and recently you made a curious insinuation involving someone dangerous." Frederick was frightened upon hearing that. "You wouldn't dare do that. You're a police officer... your duty is to protect people."

"But I'm not going to do anything: I'll just make a comment out loud," he said, giving Frederick's right cheek a few pats. "If there are informants or corrupt cops listening...Well, that isn't something I can completely control, can I?" Frederick realized he was being mocked because he had done the same, taking advantage of the corrupt to get his way. But now he was scared because Vox had warned him, and if he found out about this, he

was finished.

The detective sent Frederick back to his cell despite his complaints and pleas for special protection.

"Hey Nicholas, where did you get these papers?" Christian asked as they left the interrogation room.

"A few hours ago, they were given to Deborah, and she brought them here," Nicholas mentioned as the door to the adjacent room opened, from which a police officer and Deborah emerged.

"Boss, I've delivered the recording to your office," the officer informed.

"Deborah," Christian greeted her.

[HI.]

"Your actions were timely and saved us."

[Well, a friend recommended that it would be best to come and share this information that my mom kept. ] Deborah recalled Brandon's suggestion to bring it straight to the police station instead of going home. "That's great. It was the missing piece we needed to put the puzzle together and finally bring Frederick down," Christian said excitedly.

"Deborah, you're our savior," the detective said, approaching to look at the box with the documents.

"But Debbie, how did you get here?" Christian asked, concerned.

"That's true. Deborah, who was the person who brought you? Did Jayden assign you a driver?" Nicholas

asked.

[No, as I said, a friend brought me.]

"That's suspicious," the detective commented.

Just then, Deborah's phone rang, showing a video call from Jayden, so she immediately answered.

[Hi, love.]

"Hi, my love, where are you?" asked Jayden, not recognizing the surroundings.

"Hi Jayden. Deborah ended up joining us," Christian appeared in the call.

"Oh, I see. Hehe, I understand. In that case, wait for me I'll be there in 5 minutes. I was calling to ask if we could eat together because I finished early."

[Okay, love, we'll wait for you.]

"Well, while you come, I'll prepare this quickly," Christian said, showing the papers he had in his hands. Come on, Nicholas, help me write and sign a statement against Frederick."

H

"Sure. Deborah, wait for me. Don't leave with Jayden," Nicholas said happily, then followed after Christian.

"Go ahead, I'll stay here to accompany Deborah," the detective said. Once they left, he asked Deborah to return to the interrogation room so he could talk privately with her. "Tell me, are you okay?" Why do you ask?]

"Because I was informed about your quick kidnapping, was surprised to learn that Vox himself came for

you."

[How did you...]

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. I know because your new in-laws asked me to assign some discreet. bodyguards for your safety," the detective said.

[I see.]

"He didn't do anything bad to you?"

[No, he just took me away for a private talk and handed over that box with my mother's things because she asked him to.]

"I understand. Well, then we'll be very grateful to your mom for this help," he said with a smile, though the smile slightly faded as he remembered what Frederick had said before she arrived.. -Flashback-

"Now Frederick, tell me, where did you bury Alexandra?" Christian asked.

"Who?"

"Don't play dumb. Where did you bury Alexandra Anderson?"

"Did she need to be buried?" Frederick repeated mockingly. "The truth is, she was a whore who was useless, so she didn't deserve a proper burial."

"Where did you bury Alexandra Anderson?!" the detective shouted.

"I don't remember. I think I left her body in some abandoned house or threw it in the woods... the truth is, I just wanted her body out of the way because she was useless to me."
