After a while, he calmed down and called Vincent. “Vincent, Arabella called the police. Emma was arrested. The police may ask
everyone who went to the barbecue take statements later. You can give the police notice of whether Emily will go or not. I don’t
have the right to interfere in this case now.”
He didn’t need to worry about Vincent. The only thing he was worried about was whether this incident would scare the guys of
the GY Temple off.
When he finally arrived at the police station, his phone rang. Ferne didn’t expect Noah to call at this time. He guessed that
someone inside had noticed him.
“Hello...” He paused, lay down with his eyebrows knitted, and let out a sigh.
“I heard of it.” Noah said.
Ferne replied, “It’s nothing. I can handle it. Maybe ... I’ll be detained for a few days as well, but it doesn’t matter. After I’m
released, we can continue...”
Noah interrupted him, “Take care of Emma. If nothing unexpected happens, you won’t be detained. Neither will she.”
“What do you mean?” Ferne suddenly got up from his seat. He got up so fast that he nearly hit the horn on the steering wheel.
However, his instant move still hurt the unrecovered tailbone. He sat gently sideways, trying to alleviate the pain.
“Faye compared the photos last whole night and finally found her information,” Noah paused, “If you know who she is, you won’t
be curious why she could kill three people with her bare hands.”
“Fuck, don’t make a fuss. Who is she?” Ferne was filled with curiosity.
“Do you police record fingerprints?” Noah did not answer.
“Yes.” Ferne said, “We’ll compare it to check if the suspect had a criminal record.” After a pause, he covered his mouth in
surprise, “But what does this have to do with her? Fuck! Did she really have a criminal record?”
Noah seemed to sigh and then hung up the phone without saying anything more.
Ferne looked at the phone in confusion and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Fuck! You talked so much but still didn’t tell me anything!”
He got out of the car, rubbed his face, and entered the municipal police station with a stack of documents in his hand.
“Captain Ferne,” A policeman saw him and whispered to him, “Our captain is foaming at the mouth in the office. Why don’t you
go in later?”
“Don’t call me captain here.” Ferne took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it to him. “How is it going inside?” He asked.
“She’s being interrogating.” The policeman took the cigarette and said kindly, “Someone asked me what she did. When they
heard that she had killed three people, then ... you know, she was too calm. She almost scared the shit out of the new
policeman.”
He suddenly remembered Noah’s question about fingerprints. He tilted his head and saw that no one was paying attention to
them, so he asked, “How about her fingerprints? Did you record them?”
“Yes, the fingerprints were record as soon as she was brought here.”
“Did she have a criminal record?” Ferne asked.
The policeman shook his head. “No, she’s very clean.”
“Are you sure?” Ferne looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what Noah was planning.
“Why should I lie to you?” The policeman said, “She pleaded guilty without argument, but she looks sickly and pale.” After saying
this, he saw Ferne turn around and walking towards the interrogation room. He hurriedly shouted, “Cap ... Ferne...”
“Leave me alone. I’ll take a look.” Ferne waved his hand. Noah would not say useless information for no reason. Who exactly
was Emma?
There were people standing at the entrance of the interrogation rooms. Before Ferne could reach them, the office door on the
other side of the corridor was opened. The captain shouted at him, “Ferne Dalton!”
Ferne was so frightened that his sphincter tightened and his tailbone ached. He turned around and smiled with embarrassment,
“I thought you were interrogating her inside.”
The captain didn’t care about his nonsense but only raised his chin at the thing in his hand. “What’s in your hand? The
evidence?”
“This ... We’ll talk about it later. Have you investigated the people inside?” He asked.
“What?” The captain raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he did not intend to say anything.
As he spoke, the door of an interrogation room behind him was opened. A man and a woman brought Arabella out. Seeing
Ferne standing at the door, Arabella’s expression changed. Then, she lowered her head and walked into the next room. The
door was still half open. Ferne heard the policeman ask Arabella, “Are you sure that the woman inside killed those three men?”
In the interrogation room, Emma was sitting behind glass. She slightly lowered her head, revealing a very white chin, but sat up
straight. Her hair was slightly lowered to her ears. She was not wearing any jewelry, but her elegance could not be concealed.
Arabella said on the other side of the specular glass, “I’m sure.”

“Are you sure it’s her?”
The Albertons in City Q suddenly received a call from the police station, saying that someone had used the police station’s
intranet to search “Emma Alberton”, and then took her fingerprints. The address was at the municipal police station of City Y.
When Deon heard the news, he gathered a group of people and took the lead there in car. On the way, he kept making phone
calls to confirm this news. Afterwards, he called the chief of City Q, “Please call the chief of City Y for me. My daughter is in his
place. Please ask him to bear with her.”
Though he said it politely, he didn’t really mean it.
“Bear with her?”
His connotation was asking the chief of City Y to take good care of his daughter.
“Anyway, why is she arrested?” After Deon finished calling, he remembered to asked about it. Deon’s first son, Korbin Alberton in
the passenger seat said, “I heard that she had killed three people.”
Normally, parents would be so scared at hearing this that they couldn’t fall asleep all night. However, Deon slapped his hands
and smiled proudly, “That’s my daughter!”
The car was filled with joy, in stark contrast to the serious atmosphere in the police station.
“I haven’t seen her for almost six years. I don’t know what happened to my girl. Was she bullied? Otherwise, how would she kill
someone? She’s very kind.” Deon said emotionally.
Korbin laughed, “Dad, you can only fool others. She learned martial arts faster than others when she was young. Who in the
family dared to fight with her? When she was fifteen years old, one of our men was so ignorant that he ambushed her. She
almost killed him.”
“She is so callous. She has left home for so many years.” Deon looked at the photo in his hand. It was the only photo taken at
Emma’s birthday party. An eighteen-year-old girl should be smiling like a flower blooming beautifully, but she prematurely
withered away and grew into a tree, tall and callous.
“I guess it was because I told her to go on a blind date. She didn’t like it, so she escaped.” Korbin sighed, “I said that I would
definitely find a good man for her.”
“If she doesn’t want to marry, then doesn’t. Why were you pushing her? We’ll see her soon, but don’t mention anything about
blind dates. Alright, hurry up and call Bernice. Tell her that her daughter is back.” Deon thought for a moment and said, “Tell her
to come back to the courtyard house. We will all live there and don’t go back to the villa anymore.”
Riley was so absorbed in seeking beauty that she couldn’t wake up one day because she had consumed too many poisonous
substances.
They hung the white cloth in the courtyard house for seven days. Deon had seemed to realize that the woman beside him would
also die of age. He had restrained himself a lot. Probably because his daughter, who looked and behaved like him the most, had
quietly left for many years, he had been cherishing his family. In addition, Bernice had gone abroad. As Riley had died, the
courtyard house had become much emptier.
Perhaps because his attitude had changed, He missed the quiet little daughter more and more. Bernice had been a coquettish
woman. She had tried every means to call him every day to lure him to see her in the past.. Now, she had not made a phone call
for as many years as her daughter had left.
