My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

"Mr. Harris, for safety's sake, I've hidden the evidence in a secure location. I'll hand it over later," she said.

"Is that so?" James frowned slightly but did not press further.

"Additionally, regarding Dustin's elimination of the Cave and Harmon families, my investigation uncovered some hidden truths," Madison said.

"Share everything you've learned," James said coldly.

"According to reliable intelligence, the Fox family massacre from years ago implicated many factions. The Cave and Harmon families were among those involved. Their rapid rise afterward was no coincidence. It came as a direct result of that operation.

"To grow so quickly and effortlessly, the mastermind behind them must be no ordinary figure. It's highly likely this person holds unparalleled power and influence..."

At her words, a subtle but undeniable shift crossed James's otherwise impassive expression.

"So, Dustin Fox's actions weren't reckless slaughter. They were acts of revenge," Madison said.

James's expression turned cold, and his piercing gaze fixed on Madison.

"Agent Seven, do you realize what you're saying?" he demanded in a sharp and reprimanding voice. "Remember your role! You are an Amber agent of the Outlaws Department. You represent justice itself! "Not reckless slaughter? Revenge? Is that what an agent of the Outlaws Department should be saying?" Madison was at a loss for words. Her heart sank as she processed her misstep.

How could she have said that?

Had she really just spoken in defense of Dustin Fox?

What was wrong with her?

"No matter his motives, murder is murder. He slaughtered countless people from two big families. He's guilty beyond redemption!

"And on top of that, he killed the General of the West... That alone is an unforgivable capital crime! He will never be able to pay for his sins!" Madison's face stiffened.

"That was out of line. I apologize," she said quickly and bowed in acceptance of her mistake.

James gave a curt nod.

"It's fortunate that I, and not

someone else, heard this. If anyone else had, your career in the Outlaws Department would be over. Rest assured. I'll keep this to myself." en FindNovel

Madison could only bow deeply in gratitude.

"Also, everything you've told me today must remain strictly confidential. If the word gets out, it could lead to chaos. Once I return, 4'll report this to the higher-ups. If there truly is corruption or abuse of power involved, the Outlaws Department Will not stand by and do nothing!" James said.

Madison nodded in agreement.

Then, lowering her head slightly, she hesitated and asked, "Mr. Harris, how do you plan to apprehend Dustin?"
