The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 387

Zoe’s demeanor faltered for a moment as my question caught her off guard.

However, she swiftly regained her composure and responded in a cold tone, “I’m sorry, but I am currently occupied with important matters.

I will not entertain questions unrelated to the case.

”

Expressing my dissatisfaction, I retorted, “But if you let your emotions interfere with the investigation, it’s highly Likely that your efficiency will be compromised.

”

Zoe clenched her teeth in anger, her gaze piercing as she confronted me, “Debra, are you questioning my competence?

“No, absolutely not!” I Looked into Zoe’s eyes.

“On the contrary, Zoe,

I consider you not only as a colleague but also as a friend.

I have the utmost respect for your skills as a police officer.

That’s why I urged

Riley to implore your assistance in handling the case.

I have complete faith in your abilities.

”

Zoe’s questioning tone echoed in the air, her mocking smile adding a touch of bitterness to her words.

“If you truly consider me a friend, then why didn’t you confide in me about the reason behind Harlan’s sudden departure?”

“I’ve conducted a comprehensive investigation on the two of you.

The results were quite surprising, but I haven’t revealed them to Adam just yet.

”

Just as I was about to explain things to Zoe, her phone suddenly rang, interrupting the moment.

Zoe cast a quick glance at me before answering the phone.

“Someone spotted Luca? Alright, understood,” Zoe responded, her expression growing serious.

She swiftly issued instructions, saying, “Deploy additional officers to thoroughly search the area and leave no corner unchecked.

”

Upon hearing Zoe’s words, Riley tightly grasped my hands and pleaded with desperate eyes.

Instantly, I comprehended the meaning behind Riley’s intense gaze.

It was evident that Zoe wouldn’t permit Riley to go to the mentioned location.

However, given the presence of a clue, as a mother, Riley’s concern would undoubtedly drive her to feel compelled to investigate.

Consequently, Riley was earnestly pleading with me to accompany Zoe to the Location in question
