Chapter 626

Lindsey’s thoughts were in turmoil.

If Marisa died, the truth about the fire would remain hidden.

Leonel got out of the car and came over to Lindsey, gently patting her back to calm her down.

“Linds, are you alright?”

After throwing up, Lindsey stood up, her eyes brimming with tears.

“Leonel, Marisa tried to end her life.

We’ve lost the lead.

”

Leonel paused, surprised.

He glanced at the woman on the ground and asked, “You mean, this is Marisa?”

Lindsey nodded, then approached Marisa and crouched beside her, whispering, “Why… Why did you do this?”

Soon after, Lindsey and Leonel were escorted to the police station for questioning.

Several men in black, who had been following Marisa, appeared once the police had left.

The leader of the men made a call, saying, “Boss, Marisa… Marisa ran into Lindsey’s car and died.

”

“What? How about Lindsey?” His voice was mixed with shock.

“Lindsey was taken away by the police.

But don’t worry.

The surveillance footage clearly indicated that Marisa had deliberately collided with Leonel’s car; it wasn’t Leonel and Lindsey’s fault.

With Marisa’s passing, the question is, should the investigation into the matter continue?”

“Continue investigating.

There’s someone behind her.

”

“Yes, sir.

”

In the office, Domenic sat in a leather chair, pinching the bridge of his nose.

He swiveled the chair, gazing out of the French window into the radiant sunlight.

Meanwhile, Lindsey and Leonel occupied the interrogation room, their heads bowed in evident distress.

Following a preliminary inquiry, the police reviewed nearby surveillance footage, confirming Marisa’s deliberate act of colliding with their car.

“There’s a possibility of arson leading to suicide,” concluded the police officer.

“But Marisa had a critically ill child.

If she’s gone, where does that leave the child?” inquired Lindsey.

The officer stated, “We’re investigating, but progress has been elusive.

As you’ve proven your innocence, you’re free to leave.

Rest assured, we’ll reach out if there are any developments.

”

Exiting the police station, Leonel paused, turning to Lindsey.

“What’s our next move?”

In a grave tone, Lindsey expressed her thoughts, “I can’t shake the feeling that things aren’t that simple.

Marisa had no financial motives, and no known grudges against Mom.

What would drive her to commit arson and subsequently decide to end her own life? There’s something she wanted to conceal.

And her child… that’s our only potential breakthrough.

We must find that child.
