His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 707 Escape Plan

The two police officers appeared unfamiliar and were not the ones Lysander had seen by the lake before, yet they recognized Lysander immediately upon seeing her.

“You’re Ms. Lysander Thorne, right?”

“Correct.”

“Here’s the thing. There have been some new developments in the case of the body found in the lake a while back. We went to the Guerra family’s old house, but you weren’t there. We were told you had come here. Our investigation has uncovered some new information, and we need you to come to the station to provide a statement. Would you mind accompanying us to the police station?”

The tone of the police officer was quite polite.

Lysander was torn between Josiah, who had left with Tiffany, and abandoning the case at hand. All she could think of was to resolve the issue as quickly and methodically as possible. Glancing at the police car parked outside, she agreed without a second thought, “All right, I’ll go with you.”

The night was thick, and the incessant alternating red and blue lights atop the patrol car inexplicably stirred a sense of unease and confusion.

Nilou hastily led Rhizone to chase after Lysander. “Dr. Thorne, let us go with you. At the time of the incident, Rhizone and I were at the scene. We might be able to assist. Besides, we’ve never ridden in a police car before.”

It was common for children to show interest in police cars, but no one realized that it was actually just an excuse she had come up with on the spot.

After giving it some thought, Lysander agreed. “All right, let’s go together then.”

She was just about to take the hands of the siblings when one of the officers firmly refused, saying, “No, they can’t come along.”

His colleague subtly nudged him in the ribs, a gesture so slight yet it didn’t escape Lysander’s peripheral vision.
