At the police station, Neil himself was present, observing the interrogation of this matter.
When Elliot arrived with Sheena, the first round of questioning inside had already
concluded.
Seeing them, Neil quickly greeted them and showed his concern.
“Ms. Lawson, you shouldn’t have rushed here. How’s your injury?”
Sheena’s lips were pale.
She was about to respond, but Elliot spoke up first. “It’s been handled. The doctor said it’s not too serious, but Nana wanted to see this attack resolved as soon as possible, so we
cearly.”
Neil gestured for them to go to a dedicated rest area.
As they sat down, Elliot continued asking, “What’s the progress of the investigation?”
Neil shook his head solemnly.

from Ms. Lawson’s arm has been sent for analysis. We believe we’ll have results soon.”
Ardolisia had strict control over firearm sales, and only those who passed professional
assessments and held proper permits were allowed to possess firearms.
Once the model of the small sniper rifle was identified, it should not be difficult to narrow
down suspects among those authorized to own such weapons.
Sheena listened quietly and smirked.
“Elite assassins bought from the black market? What a familiar tactic.”
Neil was surprised to hear her tone and asked, “Ms. Lawson, did you experience similar
attack incidents before?”
Sheena remained silent.
Elliot answered on her behalf, “Yes, during her tat Froania’s Farlem, Nana’s half–sister bought forty elite assassins from the black market and attempted to kill her with machetes. at Clear Crane Bridge. Fortunately, Froania has the strictest firearm control globally, so
there were no Instances of covert firearm usage.”
Nell was shocked and exclaimed, “How could an illegitimate child of a wealthy family have such capabilities?”
Elllot did not answer him and glanced at Sheena’s expression, noticing a hint of coldness.
In her eyes.
What hurt her the most was not Sheila herself but the real power behind Sheila–her own father and brother.
Despite knowing how badly Sheila hurt her, Corey still hid the truth from Sheena.
Elliot looked at her with a pang of heartache, sighing silently.
He reached out, gently grasping her clenched fist, desperate to provide her with a sense of
security.
Neil keenly noticed the tension across the table and sensed many untold stories here.
He tactfully refrained from further questioning and instructed someone to prepare a pot of
fine tea.
Sheena gradually calmed her emotions.
Remembering the peculiar Anne, she asked Neil, “How much do you know about the earl from Ouna and his girlfriend?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNeil contemplated momentarily and explained, “Paulo has had quite a few girlfriends before Anne. Before her, he had enough ex–girlfriends to form a band. I bet he couldn’t even remember sof his former flames‘ names. He’s in his forties, a confirmed bachelor who lives carefree and enjoys his wealth. But he can afford to play around. With his noble status in Ouna, Paulo can live off of it for a lifetime. Besides, he’s pretty sharp in business, and with his father’s passing, all the vast inheritance fell into his lap. He’s raking in money in every business field. Leaving aside his personal life, he’s a good choice of partner from a business standpoint.”
Sheena pondered the wealth of information in Neil’s words and continued to inquire, “How
long have he and Anne been officially dating?”
“I’m not exactly sure about that, but I heard he met Anne while on a business trip to
Froania. It was said that she was studying in Froania at the time. After they confirmed their
relationship, they began traveling to various countries together.”
Nell took a sip of the hot tea and added, “But from what I’ve seen these past few days,
Paulo is genuinely devoted to Anne more than any of his previous ones. It seems like he has genuinely fallen for her.”
Listening Intently, Sheena silently calculated the rough timeline.
How could it be so coincidental?
They met in Froanla and then traveled abroad together.
Given Paulo’s fand wealth, if Anne did get into any trouble, it would not be difficult to assign her a new identity.
“Ms. Lawson, why are you so concerned about Paulo’s personal life? Are you suspecting that it’s related to the recent attack?”
Neil’s question interrupted Sheena’s thoughts, bringing her back to the present.
