The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1492

Right after that, Phoebe’s terrified scream echoed from the front door to the bedside table.

“Yes! It’s him! Please, officers, look closely. Isn’t he the fugitive you’re looking for?”

“My grandfather’s house has been vacant for a long time. He must have used it as a hideout!”

“You’re talking nonsense…”

Azriel turned around, just about to say something to Phoebe, who was standing by the bedside table. But before he could even open his mouth, she stuffed something into it. She then darted aside like a frightened rabbit, her hands fluttering nervously. “Officers, I hope you investigate thoroughly and rid our society of this menace…”

Azriel didn’t even have the chance to refute before he was hauled off to the police station. He was locked up without even uttering a word. Shortly after, he was taken to an interrogation room.

Dragged to the station in his pajamas, surely no one else had ever experienced such a thing. He had never been so humiliated in his life. What a good daughter of the Alonso family…
