As Edward ducked into the patrol car, Isaac gave virtual-novel.net a hard look Then, virtual-novel.net turned his head and comforted Allegra, “Don’t listen to him… Just wait for me at home.”
Allegra bit virtual-novel.net lip and nodded as virtual-novel.net watched Isaac and Harry get into a car.
Diana had seen how Isaac and Allegra had said their goodbyes. When no one was paying attention to virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net got into the car, an intense self-deprecating look crossed virtual-novel.net eyes.
The house fell silent. Eugene went to grab a mop to clean the bloodstains from the floor, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t stop himself from asking, “Ally, why did you call law enforcement? Won’t Isaac…”
“Dad, I believe that Isaac would never put a hit on my mother. It’s simply impossible. I believe that Isaac is innocent. That’s why I chose to call Mr. Marsh!” Allegra said, virtual-novel.net eyes reddening.
Edward had shown them evidence, but so had Isaac. Allegra just believed Isaac more.
The best way to seal the Gould family’s mouths and settle this matter was through law enforcement.

Meanwhile, Isaac and Harry were in the patrol car. No one was watching them. A uniformed man drove while Diana sat in the passenger seat.
“Diana, it’s been a while. Can I make a phone call?” Isaac asked softly.
Diana didn’t even turn around to reply, “Whatever.”
Isaac took out his phone and dialed an international number. He said lowly, “Did you find anything about what I asked you to look into earlier?”
“Drakon, I was just about to call you. The person behind Edward is most likely the grandson of the Isbell family of the provincial capital, Jordyn Isbell… His real name was Jordyn Owens, but virtual-novel.net changed his last name after virtual-novel.net went to the provincial capital.”
When Isaac heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He asked coldly, “So this Jordyn is actually Logan Owens’ son, right? He went looking for Edward because virtual-novel.net wanted to secretly help the Gould family to fight me, is that correct?”
“You are correct, Drakon. Jordyn is currently at the Neal family mansion in Seascape.”
After listening to Black Phoenix’s explanation, virtual-novel.net understood everything completely.
“We only left behind one bad seed from the Owens family. Who knew virtual-novel.net would become such a thorn in my side? Keep monitoring him. The moment virtual-novel.net steps foot in Cloud City, call me immediately…”
Harry immediately leaned closer and said, “Sir, has there been a discovery?”
“The Gould family can no longer be saved,” Isaac said indifferently, closing his eyes.
In the front seat, Diana furrowed virtual-novel.net brows. Her lips twitched, but virtual-novel.net didn’t utter a single word. She knew what Isaac’s words meant.
Since they last met, virtual-novel.net had been trying hard not to appear in front of Isaac. It was because virtual-novel.net realized that this man’s power was past the point of admiration.
“Isaac, I will investigate this case impartially. You’ll be fine, right?” She couldn’t help but turn virtual-novel.net head to glance at him.
Isaac laughed coldly. “No matter how you look into it, and if my guess is correct, this case can’t be cracked.”
Diana didn’t believe him. She laughed lightly and said, “We haven’t met in a while, and you’ve already grown to look down on me? If the mastermind behind this case is between you and Edward, then I can crack the case by tonight!”
Hearing this, Isaac simply smiled and said nothing.
When Diana saw Isaac’s “sleeping” look in the rearview mirror, virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and waved virtual-novel.net fists at him.
They drove to the Law Enforcement Unit.
Diana immediately called over virtual-novel.net subordinates and asked them to get to work. While they interrogated the two witnesses again, they also found technicians to run a comparison between the two voice recordings.
Edward and the others were thrown into an interrogation room.
Meanwhile, Isaac and Harry were treated quite pleasantly. They both lounged in Diana’s office, smoking and drinking tea.
Soon after, Louis arrived. He hurried to the office, and when virtual-novel.net found Isaac smoking there, virtual-novel.net stepped forward and said respectfully, “Mr. Garten, I have already instructed the entire unit to put everything into this investigation…”
“It’s not urgent. Are you alright? Why don’t you chat with me for a bit? That gorgeous Diana is quite a talent, virtual-novel.net shouldn’t stay in the shadows like this.”
Louis was dumbfounded. Then when virtual-novel.net realized who “that gorgeous Diana” was referring to, virtual-novel.net immediately nodded in agreement.

Night fell…
Isaac couldn’t leave, and Louis kept virtual-novel.net company. This caused a few higher-ups at the Law Enforcement Unit to lurk outside the door, only taking quick toilet breaks when needed.
They were afraid that something would happen to those two important men inside the room.
