Chapter 426

Aaron slapped his forehead dramatically, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “Evadne, you once helped us crack two murder cases. In one, you found the crucial clue among the evidence, leading to a breakthrough in the case. In the other, you spotted a flaw in the suspect’s alibi that resulted in a confession!”

Thaddeus was dumbfounded, looking at the calm and composed woman beside him with wide eyes.

This was it. He was done for.

How could Evadne be so exceptional? No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t catch up.

Before, Thaddeus saw himself as decent, if not extraordinary.

Now, in front of Evadne, he felt as insignificant as a used roll of toilet paper in a public restroom.

“Hut, I’m surprised you remember my shining moments, Aaron.”

Evadne teased him with twinkling eyes. “If it wasn’t for Emeric and Suri standing in my way, I might have joined the police academy and become a gun–toting cop. You might be calling me sergeant by now.”

“That’s because you’re our precious gem. We were afraid you’d get hurt playing with guns and knives. But in the end, we you from going.”

Evadne’s eyes went wide and Aaron quickly shut his mouth, almost letting the cat out of the bag.

What surprised him more was that Mr. Thaddeus was with her!

“Mr. Thaddeus! I didn’t expect you to come in person. I apologize for not greeting you earlier.”

Seeing Evadne was a pleasure for the Chief, but seeing Thaddeus was a delight. In addition to the usual pleasantries, he even ordered Aaron, the head of the detective squad, to pour tea for Thaddeus!

Aaron was taken aback. Thaddeus quickly stood up, Till do it myself!”

Pouring tea in front of Evadne, letting his future brother in–law serve him? Was he out of his mind?

He still wanted to marry the Ashbourne family’s daughter!
