Chapter 735
Night of Destiny
âMr. Presgrave, you have a great sense of observation. This guy is behaving strangely,â said one of the
officers.
Elliot had spent his days in the army since he was nine till he was sixteen, which explained his keen
observation. After seven years of dominating the business world, he also developed the ability to
identify a personâs true nature.
âRoy, weâve reviewed his contact history, and he made a call to someone named âLiam Presgraveâ
while he was in the car.â
The sparkle in Elliotâs eyes turned as cold as a blade. Liam? Is Shawn working for him?
âLook into Liam Presgrave,â Roy ordered his men as he turned toward Elliot. âDo you know who this
man is, Mr. Presgrave?â
Elliot clenched his hands into a fist on the table as he comprehended what had happened. He nodded.
âI know him. Heâs one of the elder members of the Presgrave Family. Two months ago, he offered me
an international collaboration, but I declined.â
âWe must arrest Shawn Elrod as soon as possible,â Roy ordered his men.
Elliot said, âRoy, Iâll give you a list of names. I would appreciate it if you restricted them from leaving the
country.â
Roy nodded as he said, âGot it. Please send it to me as soon as possible.â
Elliot called Rey over to make a list of names immediately. Each and every single name on the list was
connected to the Presgraves.
As soon as he left the police station, he got into his car, took out his phone, and called Anastasia.
âHey, Howâs everything going? Any clues?â she asked anxiously.
âThe investigation has yielded some new information. Liam likely has something to do with it.â
âLiam? Lorelaiâs father?â She was astonished.
âDo not worry about it. Weâll get to the bottom of it.â Elliot tried to soothe her. Since the incident, he
found it distressing to see her suffering from constant nightmares.
âIs it Lorelai? If her father stole your sperm, does that mean he wants her to get pregnant with your
baby?â Anastasia was so mad that she almost lost her mind.
ââAnastasia, calm down. I wonât let that happen,â Elliot reassured her.
âArrest her at all costs. We must not allow her to get away from this.â Anastasia clenched her teeth.
She had completely underrated Lorelai.
âI will be home in one hour. Wait for me.â He wanted to go home but had to stay and cooperate with the
police in their investigation.
Finally, a sigh of relief lifted her spirits. âOkay, Iâll be waiting for you.â
The officers, amid an investigation in the hospital, received a call and headed to Shawnâs office. Shawn
happened to be on his way to the bathroom, so he was not in the office. However, he was able to
overhear the conversation that was taking place between his assistant and the officer as soon as he
turned the corner at the end of the corridor.
âMr. Elrod is not at his office.â
âWhen will he come back?â
âIâm not sure.â
âPlease notify us as soon as he returns,â the officers said sternly.
Shawn panicked and scurried out to the restroom to avoid further attention. Never in his wildest
imagination did he think the police would approach him. Do they suspect me?
With shaking hands, he reached for his phone to call Liam.
âHello.â
âIâm done for, Liam. It looks like the police are suspecting me! Howâs the situation over there? Is it
successful?â
âWhen was that?â
âJust now, the police officers came to my office. Donât worry. Iâm not going to say anything.â Shawn
hung up the phone, deciding that he should leave the hospital.
