Chapter 608:
As Harlee moved toward the cell door, her voice took on a commanding tone.
âFor a soldier, adherence to orders is essential, but even more critical is the ability to discern the truth. You claim her innocence? Prove it with evidence or file a report against me for unlawful tactics! Any further insubordination will cost you your position!â
Harleeâs declaration was ruthless, echoing coldly in the dimly lit cell.
After all, she was an outsider.
Asserting herself seemed the only way to avoid being trapped indefinitely while unraveling the moleâs identity.
Her mission was to assist, not to work here.
Besides, Averieâs disposition made it implausible that she was oblivious.
Averie not only knew more but also planned to leverage her knowledge to compel the Gruinia fraud syndicate to extract her.
Averieâs top priority was to escape the bleak, lightless confines of her cell and transfer to a conventional prison.
Meanwhile, at her own home, Lindsay felt as though time was crawling.
She found herself wishing Harlee would expedite her imprisonment. She couldnât stomach another day suffocated by her own anxiety. Yet, the moment the law enforcement officers appeared at her doorstep, her heart sank in dread. The thought of actual incarceration terrified her.
At that moment, Liza, freshly discharged from the hospital, was reclining on the couch, recuperating. The sight of the officers stirred her concern for the family business. She was about to rise and demand explanations when they abruptly handcuffed Lindsay.
With her complexion drained of color, Lindsayâs voice rose in indignation.

âWhat is this? Who are you, and what right do you have to arrest me? Iâll sue you for trespassing and false arrest!â
With anger blazing in her features, Liza pointed a finger at them.
âHow dare you detain her! Who gave you this authority? Trust me, your superior will know what youâve done!â
The man leading the group radiated a commanding presence.
He was the handpicked successor of Callum, sent explicitly to manage this delicate situation. Not to mention the issues involving the influential Morgan and Sanderson families, just focusing on Harlee alone made this assignment a golden opportunity for him to gain considerable recognition.
Before his departure, Callum had made it clear.
He was to secure Lindsayâs return, regardless of any objections from the Morgan family.
Fixing Lindsay with a steely grin, the man said to Liza, âMrs. Morgan, we have reason to believe Miss Morgan is implicated in kidnapping, premeditated murder, and collusion with a dangerous international crime syndicate based in Uwhor, which has led to a violent encounter with numerous innocent victims.â
Lizaâs laughter rang out, incredulous.
âYouâre accusing our Lindsay of kidnapping and associating with a dangerous international crime syndicate? Thatâs absurd! Lindsay embodies elegance and propriety. She wouldnât hurt a fly, much less a human being. To think she would align herself with such criminals? She probably hasnât even heard of them! On what basis do you suspect her of these crimes?â
With steely determination, Liza positioned herself protectively in front of Lindsay, halting the officers in their tracks. She fixed the man with a piercing stare and growled that he better take those handcuffs off Lindsay, or heâd rue the day he set foot here.
