Chapter 597



After hanging up the phone, Nora stroked Pete’s head. Then, she looked at the sleeping Cherry and whispered, “Take care of Cherry. Don’t let her play all day.”

Pete nodded earnestly and replied, “Okay.”

Then Nora got up, changed and went outside.

Justin drove her there.

Nora was riding in the passenger seat. On the way to the special apartment, she suddenly thought of Trueman. She opened the chat log with him and discovered that he still hadn’t answered the question she asked him last time.

Nora asked again, [Who plotted my pregnancy?].

The person who had managed to engineer her pregnancy must also have been able to drug Justin. This was definitely not a simple person.

Trueman didn’t answer her right away.

Nora frowned.

As if he could sense her emotions, Justin suddenly said, “Whatever happens, it has nothing to do with you.”

Surprised, Nora turned to look at him.

Justin then said, “The affairs of the previous generation have nothing to do with us. Even if indeed your mother has done something, it has nothing to do with you.”

Nora looked down.

After a while, she nodded.

To be honest, she’d seen it coming. Just like what Morris had said at the beginning, she had also suspected that Yvette was involved in the production of the genetic serum. Back then, under the guise of treating someone’s illness, Yvette had escaped after leaving the police station.

With that in mind, she arrived at the special department.

As soon as she entered, she noticed that the way the people there looked at her had changed a little.

Nora frowned.

At that moment, Brenda rushed out, grabbed her and took her straight to her office. After entering, Brenda closed the door, blocking the stares and murmurs of the people outside. When she looked back, she saw that Nora was already sitting on the couch in her office.

Brenda said, “Excuse me, Nora, he’s starting to intimidate you already, why are you still so quiet?”

Nora raised her eyebrows. “All right, tell me, how did he bully me?”.

Brenda sat down across from her and explained, “He’s already got them talking. Those people say that your mother, Yvette Anderson, was a member of the mysterious organization. Besides, her status there was pretty high.”

Nora nodded. “And so?”

Brenda sighed. “All the bodyguards who were arrested say the same thing. This time they’ve gone back to the States to look for your mother. They’ve even said that…”

Brenda looked at her and continued. “…That you’re involved in this too. They said you were their undercover agent.”

After what was said, the door to Brenda’s office was pushed open. A few people from the special department stood outside, all of them staring at Nora.

Brenda’s expression changed at once. She looked at them sharply and demanded, “What do you think you’re doing, are you staging a rebellion?”

The people hesitated for a moment. Then they said, “Captain Brenda, it’s like this. The suspects have said that Nora is their undercover agent…”

Brenda scoffed, “And you believe them?”

They sighed and replied, “We don’t believe them either, but according to regulations, we have to ask her some questions.”

Brenda let out an “hmph.

What kind of questions? Don’t you know what he has done for the special department? Two days ago, it was none other than Nora who unmasked Johnson’s conspiracy here and allowed one of our undercover colleagues to come back into the light. It was also she who let you know who was the most trustworthy between Captain Johnson and Captain Ford. But now you’re going to interrogate her? Besides, have you asked Captain Ford’s permission to interrogate her?”

Reprimanded by Brenda, neither dared to speak.

At that moment, a voice reached them. “Don’t be angry, Captain Brenda. Everyone is trying to do their job…”

The people present stepped aside, and Ruth approached from behind.

Ruth had become very popular in the special department lately because of the interrogation plan she and Black Cat had devised. Everyone had become a believer in her.

Moreover, they had all interrogated the suspects for many days – in fact, some of them had begun to employ torture methods – but none of them had succeeded in getting the bodyguards to talk. Despite this, Ruth’s interrogation methods had made them talk easily, which gave everyone a new insight into their interrogation skills.

At first, because of the Johnson incident, everyone had distanced themselves a bit from Ruth. However, everyone present admired capable people.

Ruth’s skill had caused everyone’s affection for her to grow exponentially.

Also, since the interrogation plan had been devised by Black Cat and her, Morris had left her in charge of all interrogation matters.

Ruth looked at the two of them, a smile still on her face. Her dimples made her look like a sweet little girl.

Brenda stared at her. “What, you want to interrogate Nora too, are you worthy of that?”. Ruth lowered her gaze. “How could I dare to do that? I know Miss Smith’s status in the special department is special, and I also know very well how much Captain Ford values her, so how would I dare question her?”

“Then hurry up and get the hell out of here!” shouted Brenda sharply.

Ruth sighed. “Captain Brenda, all the bodyguards now say that Yvette Anderson was second in command in the special department back then. She was also involved in the development of the genetic serum and other matters. They all came to the United States just to look for her! Besides, they also said that she is in possession of all the theories and mechanisms of the genetic serum! Only Yvette Anderson can establish another mysterious organization.”

Brenda scoffed, “So? Yvette Anderson is dead!”.

Ruth looked at Nora. “But her daughter is still alive.”

Brenda immediately said, “Didn’t you know that the principles of the special department involve imposing the crimes of parents on their children? Even the children of murderers have to be arrested, don’t they?”

Ruth sighed and looked at her helplessly. “As I said, Captain Brenda, we’re not going to arrest Miss Smith. We just want to subpoena her to answer some of our questions. Wouldn’t it be in your best interest to clear all suspicions as soon as possible?”

Truth be told, by the book, Ruth’s approach was appropriate. This time she was occupying the moral high ground.

By contrast, Brenda’s interception at this point was a bit irrational.

As Yvette’s only daughter, even if Nora was not involved with the mysterious organization, she was obligated to assist the special department in its investigations.

But…when Ruth became the interrogator, there was no way Brenda would allow Nora to suffer such aggravations. She was about to say something else when Nora stood up and said, “I want to question the bodyguards.”

Ruth and the others were stunned.

A contemptuous smile immediately formed on Ruth’s countenance. Immediately, she said, “What do you mean by that, Miss Smith? I can understand that you suspect my proposal is problematic, but this proposal was designed by Black Cat and I. Are you saying that you doubt Black Cat’s interrogation skills?”
