Chapter 1014:

A man like Jeff didn’t jump off a building over a simple layoff.

Jeff’s father felt trapped. Now, with everyone watching, refusing the autopsy would be painted as his confirmation of Jeff’s questionable reputation, and these onlookers would tear him apart with their words right here and now.

But if he agreed, the real cause of Jeff’s death would come out…

At the perfect moment, the assistant spoke up.

“I’ll call the police right away.”

Harlee shifted her gaze to Livia and Gilda, shaking her head faintly.

“That won’t be necessary. The police are already here.”

Harlee paused, letting the air grow heavy with suspense before turning her gaze meaningfully toward Dina.

“However, they are not here for them.”

The assistant was baffled. Not here for them? A ripple of confusion swept through him. If not for the troublemakers, then who?

The next moment, six law enforcement officers stepped out of an unmarked vehicle and quickly moved toward Dina.

“Miss Stones, you have been reported for embezzlement, assaulting a minor, and murder. Please come with us.”

Dina stood frozen, terror creeping into her expression. She knew all too well the crimes she had committed, but how could they possibly have proof?

As the thought lingered in Dina’s mind, Cayden stepped from behind the officers.

Let your imagination soar with gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s．çο𝗺

At the sight of him, her face twisted with fury, her eyes burning.

“Cayden, why? Why did you betray me?”

Cayden remained silent, his posture rigid, his eyes vacant, much like his previous demeanor around her.

With cold indifference, the officers cuffed Dina. She glared at Harlee, her eyes red with rage and disbelief.

“It’s you, isn’t it? What did I ever do to deserve this from you? You will regret it all!”

Unfazed, Harlee casually pulled a candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth. She squinted, savoring the moment, a satisfied grin tugging at her lips.

Earlier this morning, Harlee had arrived at Cayden’s house at a quarter past eight. Without uttering a word, she dropped the evidence of Dina’s crimes onto the table.

At that time, Cayden had immediately grasped her intent.

“Don’t worry. I’ll report Dina to the police right away.”

“Good.” Without a backward glance, Harlee had left. She wasn’t the least bit concerned that Cayden might betray her.

Before coming, she had Ritchie dig into his background.

Cayden was smart and played the fool when it suited him.

However, he knew how to position himself for the best possible outcome. When faced with the choice of crossing Harlee or sending Dina to prison to win Harlee’s favor, Cayden knew which path to take. Officers nodded at Harlee before calmly escorting Dina to the car.

The staff on-site were completely stunned by this sudden twist. What had just happened? Weren’t they supposed to be talking about Jeff’s case? How had Dina suddenly ended up in custody? And the charges went beyond imagination.
