Ethan’s Vengeance of Love
Chapter 9

Chapter 9

“Bring Billy to the police station? He was initially being threatened, but in the end, he willingly helpedher to escape. So, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to get anything out of him. I heard that he is a prettystubborn man, and no one could make him speak if he didn’t want to, even if he was being tortured.”Derek didn’t get why Ethan wanted him to do so.

“It doesn’t matter whether he confesses or not.” Ethan removed his mask after Leah left the room. Bythen, he was back to his usual calm self, and his jawline was well-defined.

“Got it. I’ll have it arranged,” Derek immediately replied. After half an hour, Billy was brought to thepolice station. He was so mad that he wanted to swear. F*ck, who the hell did Alice offend? It was twoin the morning, and all the exits of the hotel he was at were shut, and he was seized soon after he leftthe hotel. And now he was brought to the police station? These people were ruthless psychopaths.However, since he was brought to the police station, it meant that Alice wasn’t caught. Thus, heshouldn’t give himself away.

“Mr. Yeager, we’ve asked you to be here today to ask about some questions, and we seek yourcooperation on this.” Officer Luke, who was in charge of the questioning, spoke politely.

“Sure. I’ll definitely reveal everything I know to you and cooperate as best as I can.” Billy smiled whilelooking calm. Without waiting for the police officer to speak, he pulled the chair out and took a seat, asif he was a guest there.

“Mr. Yeager, do you know the woman who left the hotel with you 30 minutes ago?”

“I don’t know her,” Billy didn’t hesitate as he replied. At the same time, Ethan, who was observing theinterrogation via the monitor, narrowed his gaze after hearing Billy’s statement.

“I knew that Billy wouldn’t have spoken the truth.” Derek scoffed and continued, “If he didn’t know whoshe was, he wouldn’t have put his life on the line just to help her.”

“Mr. Yeager, but you helped her escape from the hotel,” Officer Luke asked.

“Escape?!” Billy laughed and asked, “Why? Did she kill anyone? If she did, shouldn’t your side issue anorder to have her arrested? Then I guess I’m considered an accomplice.”

“It’s not that serious.” Officer Luke couldn’t help but let out a sigh when he realized that it was a toughjob, as expected.

“Oh, good to hear. I merely gave her a ride, and she had gotten off my car after we left the hotel. I haveno idea about what happened before and after that.”

“Mr.Yeager, do you really not have any idea as to who she is?”

“No idea. We met at a masquerade party, so everyone had a mask on. No one was able to recognizeanyone,” Billy replied nonchalantly.

“The thing is that I heard that you only decided to help her after she threatened you.”

“Oh, you can just say whatever you want. Do you have any more questions?” Billy shruggedindifferently, and his attitude made it hard for Officer Luke to continue with the interrogation.

“Billy sure is a cunning fox,” Derek chided as he stared at the screen.

Ethan then glanced at him, and suddenly, he seemed to have understood Ethan’s motive. “Boss, I gotit. Billy, that cunning fox wouldn’t be able to beat you.” Derek seemed excited as he took his phone outand made a call. Boss had mentioned that it didn’t matter whether Billy confessed, the most importantthing is…

Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, Officer Luke’s phone rang. He glanced at Billy before answeringit. Throughout the call, he didn’t speak and listened quietly. Billy, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care.

“You’re saying it’s Alice Woland of the Woland Family?” Officer Luke, who was sitting in front of Billy,suddenly exclaimed.

At that moment, Ethan was staring intently at Billy from the screen and was observing his reaction. Allof these were within Ethan’s plan. As long as there was the slightest change in his expression, Ethanwould be able to tell. Just then, Billy’s phone rang, and he was slightly stunned. Before he could react,his expression froze, as if he had been woken suddenly.

“Hi, Bruce,” Billy answered the phone and was relieved. If it wasn’t for the phone call, he would haveexposed himself. That person sure was cunning for trying to trick him using this way.

Under such circumstances, even though he had prepared himself for anything that would be coming, ifthe interrogator suddenly answered the phone and mentioned Alice’s name, he would have more orless exposed himself. He knew that someone must be observing him somewhere, and that personwould have noticed a change in his expression, given how good that person was. It was a close call!

“F*ck, that call came at the wrong time!” Derek swore as he stared at the screen. “It had ruined ourplan.”

Knowing that his plan was destroyed by the call and that he wouldn’t be able to get any information outof Billy, Ethan instructed, “Investigate Alice Woland and do not miss out on any information that youcan get.”

“Alright.” Although Derek doubted that the woman was Alice, he had to proceed with the investigationsince it was Ethan’s instruction.

It didn’t take long for the efficient Caleb to give them a call. “Mr. Knight, we found out from the petrolstation staff that the woman left in a cab not long after. I’ve managed to locate the driver, and I’vebrought him over.”

“Ok,” Ethan answered.

“Chief Jenkins, I’m a law-abiding citizen, and I’ve not done anything wrong.” The taxi driver, whohappened to know Derek, was startled when he saw a lot of police officers outside of the hotel.

“We didn’t say that you’ve committed a crime. About 30 minutes ago, did you pick up a passenger fromthe petrol station opposite here?” This time, Derek personally questioned the taxi driver while Ethan saton the side.

“Yes, yes. Someone happened to order a ride on Uber, and I drove over since I’m in the area.” The cabdriver was relieved when he found out that it was about this.

“Who is that person?” Derek asked.

“It’s a woman with a fox mask on, and she had an elaborate headpiece on. She was dressed in astrange way, but she had a good body figure. As soon as I reached the petrol station, she got into thecar and asked me to drive toward the city. After that, she was quiet throughout the journey. Sheseemed mysterious.” The taxi driver was able to give them the details as she had left a deepimpression on him.

“Seems like it’s that woman.” Derek looked at Ethan. Hearing that, Ethan pursed his lips but didn’t sayanything. Since the time and the location matched, it was highly probable that it was that woman.Earlier on, she had a white cape on so they couldn’t see her figure, but after that, she passed theblood-stained white cape to Leah.

When Derek thought of how that woman was able to escape despite being completely surrounded byEthan’s man, he thought that they wouldn’t be able to get much information, so he didn’t hold his hopeshigh. “Based on what you just said, did you manage to see her face?”

“Yes, I did. She didn’t pay for the fare when she got off and said that she would pay me in the future. Iasked her to take the mask off, and she was reluctant in the beginning but eventually gave in. So, I wasable to see her face,” the cab driver said.

“Did you take a proper look at her? What does she look like?” Derek instantly stood on his feet, and hiseyes lit up.

Does this mean that we now have a glimmer of hope? We will be able to replace that woman when we replaceout what she looks like.

“Let him have a look at Alice’s picture,” Ethan suddenly ordered as he raised his brow.
