Jared originally felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Cole call.

But when he heard her words, his mood immediately improved.

She would take the initiative to tell him who the caller was because she didn't want him to misunderstand anything.

Although she herself didn't know this.

"Answer it. I think he saw the news of Makenna committing suicide, so he called you." Jared slowed down.

"I think so too." Amber, nodded, answered the phone and turned on the loudspeaker.

"Baby, have you seen the news on the Internet? Makenna committed suicide. Is it true or not?" Cole asked loudly.

"It's true! The police called me. Makenna did commit suicide by jumping off the building. I am at the scene now." Amber replied.

"Hiss..." Cole gasped, "It's actually true! I thought it was fake news deliberately released by the media to fool the public. I didn't expect that Makenna really committed suicide!"

"Yes, no one expected this." Amber rubbed her eyebrows.

"Baby, how is the situation at the scene?" Cole asked again.

Hearing him call her 'baby', Jared immediately frowned.

It seemed that he had to replace an opportunity to make Cole adjust his word choice.

Amber did not see the unhappy expression of the man beside him and replied lightly, "The police are still investigating the reason. As for the rest, we are not clear yet."

"Is that so? Then I'll come over and accompany you." Cole said.

Jared pursed his lips.

This time, Amber saw it and shook her head. "No, Cole. Jared is with me, so you don't have to come over."

Jared's thin lips instantly changed from a straight line to a curve.

Seeing his obvious change in expression, Amber actually felt that it was a little funny, and there was indeed a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Cole was unhappy, and his voice became a little sharp. "What? Jared is also with you? It's so late, why are you with him?"

"Grandmother asked him to send me back. I drank at night and could not drive, so I agreed. After that, I received a call from Makenna to commit suicide, so I came with him."

At this point, Amber looked at the elevator in front of her and continued, "Alright, Cole. I'm going into the elevator. If there's anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."

She hung up the phone and walked into the elevator.

"Why didn't you tell him that it wasn't the real Makenna who jumped off the building?" Jared asked.

"There's no need.c

It wasn't Makenna who jumped off the building. Only the three of us and Dr. Lansdale know about it. Currently, the police don't know about it, so the fewer people who know about it, the better. Moreover, after Elias finished his appraisal and confirmed that the corpse was not Makenna, the police will also know. At that time, the police will block the news and won't let us spread it. So, it's meaningless to tell Cole."

"You are quite thoughtful." Jared praised.

"Thank you." Amber smiled.

"No need." Jared replied. Then, he thought of something and looked at her with a deep gaze. "Also, I was very happy just now."

"Eh? What were you happy about?" Amber was stunned for a moment.

Jared smiled and said nothing.

Amber tilted her head and felt that she was a little confused.

However, since he was unwilling to say it, she naturally would not force him.

Soon, they arrived at the appraisal room.

Elias was still in the appraisal room and had not come out.

When Amber and Jared arrived, Officer Everett was the only one outside. He was walking around anxiously.

"Officer," Amber shouted.

"You are here," Officer Everett stopped.

"What's wrong?" Amber asked.

Officer Everett was a little hesitant at first, but then he remembered that Amber was Makenna's plaintiff, so he no longer hid it and told her what had troubled him. "It's like this. When Dr. Lansdale entered the appraisal room just now, he told me something that shocked and infuriated me.

"It was not Makenna who committed suicide." Jared answered for him.

"Yes, yes, yes." Officer Everett quickly nodded and then looked at him and Amber in surprise. "How do you know?" "When Elias was doing the preliminary autopsy, he already noticed that something was wrong." Jared explained calmly. "So that's how it is." Officer Everett suddenly understood. He put down the doubts in his heart and sighed with a serious expression. "Right now, Dr. Lansdale is doing a DNA comparison. If the final result comes out and it is really not Makenna, then this matter will be serious. Makenna has run away. It is not easy to replace her. She has a grudge against Ms. Reed. I'm afraid that she will retaliate against Ms. Reed. [t will also affect our reputation!"

Rael tore

The fact that Makenna was able to escape and be replaced under the surveillance of the police was ridiculous. If word got out, the public would definitely say that the police were incompetent.

The reputation of the police and their credibility would definitely be greatly affected.

And the higher-ups would also punish them.

"Therefore, if the body is really not Makenna, we must replace Makenna quickly." Officer Everett clenched his fists and said with a gloomy face.

"Yes," Amber nodded.

If they didn't catch Makenna soon, it would be even more difficult to catch her in the future.

Moreover, Makenna would definitely retaliate against her. Moreover, since Makenna was hiding in the dark and wanted to attack her, she would definitely be unable to defend herself.

Seeing the worry in Amber's heart, Jared reached out his hand and smoothed her tightly knitted brows. His voice was gentle, but he did not lose his seriousness. "Don't be afraid. I will protect you and not let her have the chance to attack you."

Amber looked at him, and her face could not help but turn red. Then, she quickly turned her head and did not speak. She pressed her heart against her chest, her eyes filled with confusion.

Strange, why was her heart beating so fast?

Also, what was she panicking about when she looked at him?

Jared looked at Amber's red ears and smiled slightly. He looked at Officer Everett and changed the topic.

He knew that if he didn't change the topic quickly, she would keep on hiding her face.

"Officer Everett, do you have the surveillance recording and visiting records?" Jared narrowed his eyes and asked.

Officer Everett nodded. "Of course, when I found out that the body might not be Makenna, I thought that someone had helped Makenna, so I immediately sent someone to sort out the information. I believe that they will be brought over soon."

"Very good." Jared replied in satisfaction.

Amber also looked at Officer Everett in surprise.

He was just an old police officer for more than ten years, and his adaptability was so strong.

As he spoke, the door of the appraisal room opened and Elias came out with the results.

When the three of them saw him, they immediately walked over.

"How is it?" Jared asked first.

Officer Everett and Amber also stared at Elias.

Elias handed over the document in his hand, pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice, "As I said at the beginning, the body is not Makenna." Although they already knew the result and were mentally prepared, when they really heard that it was not Makenna, it was still unacceptable.

Especially Officer Everett, his eyebrows were so wrinkled that they could kill mosquitoes.

Because Makenna ran away under their watch, as the captain, he had to take direct responsibility.

If he could not replace Makenna in the end, then he had to take off his police uniform.
