“I don't know anything about that,” Anne said.

"According to my understanding, one of my colleagues had been to Mr. Marwood's place because

the suspect, Corentin Lloyd, was there. My colleague didn't manage to find anything, though.”

Anne was not aware of it. “My uncle is a suspect?”

“Corentin is your uncle?” Marco narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"Yeah. My uncle won't do such a thing.”

"You don’t know the first thing about your uncle. There are plenty of dirty secrets he is hiding,’

Marco thought.

“Both victims had a conflict with Corentin before and they were found in the motel shortly after said

conflict, their hearts and kidneys missing.”

“That doesn’t mean that my uncle did it, right?”

“This is just a routine check.”

Anne accepted the explanation.

“I remember that you said you lost your memories, is that right?” Marco asked.

"Yeah, from the car accident. I still haven't gotten my memories back.”

Marco took out his name card. “If you remember anything, please give me a call. I won't take any

more of your time.” With that, he left the office.

Anne held onto the name card thoughtfully, doubting if anything she remembered would be

against her uncle. In what little she remembered, Corentin was a gentleman and the conflict he had

with the couple was likely a coincidence.

Marco waited for the elevator and when the door opened, his expression darkened when he saw the

man who walked out.

Corentin walked right past him, but stopped after taking two steps ahead, before turning around.

“Inspector York? Are you here for me?”

Without waiting for Marco's response, he turned to leave.

Corentin’s arrogance left Marco clenching his fists in fury.

“Some day, I'm going to be the one who arrests you!" Marco thought to himself.

Corentin entered Anne's office and spotted the name card on the coffee table when he sat down.

His expression darkened and he asked, “Did the police come by?”

"An officer came and asked a few things...” She said hesitantly.

“About me?”

"How do you know?"

“I ran into an officer on my way here.”

She sat down and asked, “Do you know about the couple that were murdered in a motel?”

“I do, but I'll say this right now...I have nothing to do with it.”

"I said the same thing, too, but the officer asked me to call him if I remember anything,” she said.

“It's our duty as citizens to cooperate, I suppose, “he said, before proceeding to discuss work with

Anne.

Corentin had come to visit Anne and also to work.

Anne called Xander and Ken into her office and the group discussed the detailed dates when the

equipment and technicians to operate them would be imported in as the factories would need to be

prepared.

After an hour of discussion, Corentin left, refusing Anne's invitation for a meal together.

She walked him out of the office. “Are you going straight back to the hotel?”

“Yeah. I'll drop back in later in the afternoon.” Corentin needed to see if Ashlynn was feeling any

better. “I need to say hi to Anthony, anyway. Just because you lost your memories, don't be a

stranger. Call me whenever you want, even if you just want to talk.”

“I will.” Though Anne could not remember the past, could sense that her uncle cared for her deeply

and decided that they could share a meal next time.

"About that Marco guy, if he comes to you again, just send him away and ignore him,” Corentin

said.

she

“I'm fine. The worst he can do is just ask a few questions. “Anne thought that Corentin’s advice was

for her own good.

Corentin narrowed his eyes darkly and entered the elevator without another word.
