Back at the police station, Harry Young endured relentless interrogation for three consecutive days and
nights. Glaring lights hung directly above his head, denying him any opportunity for sleep.
Despite the immense torment inflicted upon his mind and body, Harry withstood all the pressure.
Whenever he was close to giving in, he would think of Shannon and his daughter, whom he never got
to meet. He vowed to endure even if the sky were to collapse.
Suddenly, the door of the interrogation room swung open, and Ralph swaggered in with an indifferent
expression, casually flexing his
muscles.
In front of suspects and criminals, Ralph was no longer the noble seventh young master of the
Thompson family. He exuded such a fierce and intimidating vibe that even the toughest street thugs
would
address him with respect.
âHey, still hanging in there?â Ralph yawned, dragging a steel chair and seating himself across from
Harry. âLeo, make Mr. Young a cup of
coffee to keep him awake. Weâve got a long night ahead of us.â
âYes, Captain Thompson.â
Harry gritted his teeth, sneering. âCaptain Thompson, arenât you tired of interrogating me every day?â
Ralph grinned mischievously. âNot at all. Iâm young, and my body can
handle it.â
âIâve told you everything I should have over the past two days. Even if
you ask me a thousand times, my answer will remain the same.â
Ralphâs smile turned cold as he placed a photo in front of Harry. âIâm tired of the old questions. Itâs time
for something new.â
Harry lowered his gaze and saw the platinum lily-shaped pendant in the photo. Despite his efforts to
maintain a poker face, he leaned forward involuntarily, his facial muscles twitching with fear.
âDo you recognize this necklace?â Ralph stared at him unwaveringly, tapping the table with his
fingertip.
âI donât,â Harry replied without hesitation, but cold sweat beaded on
his forehead.
âItâs your belonging, but you donât recognize it?â Ralphâs chuckle grew louder, tinged with mockery. âYou
even had it wrapped in silk and stored it in an expensive jewelry box. It shows how much you value it.
But now you claim you donât recognize it? Who do you think youâre
fooling?â
âYou searched my house! How dare you?â Harryâs eyes trembled. His
fists clenched tightly and strained against the handcuffs.
âYouâre a criminal, and Iâm a cop. Isnât it normal for me to search your
house? Shouldnât you have expected it already?â Ralph leaned back, smiling lightly. âIâve already
investigated. This necklace used to belong to Shannon Quarry. For you to have stored Shannonâs
personal item in your house with such care, it seems like your
relationship with her is quite special!â
Harryâs face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke. âI stole
1. So what?â
âI went to the TS Gem Channel and found people who worked with you over twenty years ago, even
actors who are still active. They all seem to know you,â Ralph continued, his tone firm. âThey talked a
lot about you and Shannon. They said that the female star youâve always admired and pursued was
never Celeste, but Shannon. We have all
their testimonies.â
Sweat dripped down Harryâs face as he cursed angrily, âThey donât
know anything!â
âNot only that⦠They also testified that you would take every
opportunity to get close to Shannon and were always at her beck and call. At that time, everyone knew
that Shannon and Celeste were
rivals. Not to mention, there was not a single picture of Celeste in
your house, only pictures of Shannon covering the wall. How could you possibly be a fan of Celeste?â
