Connor’s gaze was dark as he looked downstairs.

At this moment, he probably knew that everything was settled, and there were no more reasons to resist or deny it, so he appeared much calmer than he did during the live broadcast.

He was handcuffed, standing there.

He turned around and then obediently sat at the interrogation table, his face showing a mix of anger and struggle.

His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Holly, “What you did is against the rules!”

Holly lowered the gaze. “We were in debt to Miss Olsen and Mr. Horton. They didn’t hold us accountable, so helping her with this small favor is nothing. Even if the department punishes me, at most I’ll get a demerit. I’m not afraid.” Connor angrily slapped the table. “You can’t do this to me; it’s too cruel!” “Cruel?” Keira stepped forward, closing in on him. “Is it more cruel than you murdering your own father with your own hands? Connor Hill, stop playing the innocent here. You’ve seen Isla’s true color; you don’t need to keep her secret anymore.”

But Connor clutched at his head. “I don’t believe it! She couldn’t possibly have set me up! How could she! There’s no benefit to her in doing this! You people must be playing tricks!”

Keira slowly said, “No benefit? Who says so?”

She stood up straight and looked toward Lewis. “Mr. Horton, these past few days, Isla has been trying to reconcile with Jake, but it seems he hasn’t agreed to meet her, has he?”

Lewis went along. “The Horton family wouldn’t welcome a woman who steals others’ credit.”

Keira smiled. “What about now? After her successful report, the police station will award her a commendation for bravery.”

After finishing her statement, Keira winked at Lewis.

She stood gracefully, her cunning and seductive eyes giving others a sense of profound affection. Her gesture at that moment was more enchanting than any other people, which was quite tempting.

Lewis swallowed, and his eyes darkened slightly.

He withdrew his gaze and played along. “The Horton family needs this kind of positive image. Didn’t you see? Jake’s attitude toward her has softened.” Keira raised an eyebrow, expressing her thanks to him.

She then looked at Connor. “Hear that? She did all this to get that award, and then to knock on Horton family’s door.”

Connor’s eyes were about to split with fury. “Shut up!”

Keira slowly closed in. “So, you’re really okay with her stepping on you to climb up? You’d spend the rest of your life in prison, while she could marry into the Horton family and become the young madam…”

“I said, shut up!”

Connor suddenly stood up. Even wearing handcuffs, he lunged at Keira Olsen! “Watch out!”

“Be careful!”

Holly and Lewis didn’t expect his sudden rage, and they immediately cried out in warning, but in the next moment, they saw Keira raise her hand and seize Connor’s wrist, pressing it hard onto the table!

“Bang!”

The handcuffs and table collided, making a loud noise.

Connor tried to struggle again, but Keira casually pinned him down, and he couldn’t move an inch.

He bared his teeth in a smile. “Keira, you think by doing this, I’ll tell you that secret? Give it up! I won’t say anything!”

Keira paused slightly.

Holly had already stepped forward, quickly binding the handcuffs to the interrogation table’s chair, preventing him from lashing out again.

Keira released her hold on him, her brow furrowed in inquiry. “You asked me to come here, saying you had something to say.”

“I don’t anymore.”

Connor looked at her and Holly. “I confess, but as the victim’s son, I have the right to write a letter of mercy for myself, right? That bastard drove me to a desperate situation. That’s why I did it! I shouldn’t be sentenced to death right?”

Keira frowned.

Something seemed off about Connor.

She gave Holly a meaningful glance, and the two of them stepped out of the interrogation room.

Keira asked first, “Will you really be disciplined because of this?”

No, Holly said, her pretty face still tense, as she explained. “You didn’t hold us accountable, and you presented the evidence. Captain Lincoln and the others feel guilty about it. They’d be more than willing to help with this small favor. Besides, we have never failed to protect the privacy of those who report crimes. Isla isn’t the person who provided the evidence, anyway.”

Keira then breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that Holly hadn’t really been implicated.

She frowned. “Doesn’t Connor’s attitude seem a bit off?”

Upon hearing this, Holly said, “That’s exactly what I was about to tell you. I just asked the colleagues who arrested him, and they said that at the time of his arrest, he was screaming about wanting to see you. But then suddenly, he calmed down and stopped shouting as if he had resigned himself to his fate.” Keira frowned and suddenly asked, “Can I see his phone?”

“Sure.”

When Connor was arrested, all his personal belongings were confiscated.

The colleague who fetched Connor’s phone had also been involved in the arrest, and he explained, “It was after looking at his phone that Connor suddenly calmed down.”

Scratching his head, he added. “After we arrested him and asked him to hand over his phone, there was a message he saw. He tried to delete it, but we stopped him.”

Keira turned on his phone, and quickly checked his call history and messages, but found nothing. Then she opened WhatsApp.

His WhatsApp was blowing up. Classmates and relatives were bombarding him with inquiries in group chats.

Keira ignored them all and scrolled down.

She came across the last message he had opened, which was sent by Isla. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As Keira opened it, her pupils shrank slightly at the sight of the picture.

She whirled around and strode back into the interrogation room, positioning herself directly in front of Connor. “Are you not telling me because Isla is pregnant? Is it your child?”

The last message Isla sent to Connor was a pregnancy test result!

The date of conception was clearly written on it.

Connor laughed. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Isla’s child is, of course, Mr. Horton’s, since she’s about to marry him and become his wife…” According to the date, it was his child!

Although Connor despised Isla so much he wished she would die with him, it

was different now that Isla was carrying his child!

All his life, he could only live in his father’s shadow, looked down upon by others… Since childhood, he swore never to let his own child live this life!

Now, his child was about to become a Horton, destined for glory and riches from birth. So even if Isla betrayed him, what did it matter? As long as she could give birth to his child…

Keira observed Connor’s expression, knowing he wouldn’t speak anymore.

But she wasn’t disappointed. Instead, she suddenly leaned forward, her whole demeanor becoming confrontational. “Connor, let me tell you a secret.” “What?”

“Actually, we’ve been monitoring your phone. Every conversation you had with Isla, I heard it all.”

Connor froze.

But Keira smirked. “Did you think that if you didn’t tell me the secret, I wouldn’t be able to guess it? You said Isla stole my life, so, this secret is obviously related to my own identity!”

Connor’s pupils contracted sharply!

Keira knew then that she had guessed correctly!

She and Isla Olsen were both Taylor’s daughters, and the only possible issue concerning their identity was….
