When Charles jumped into the sea, all Isaac heard was the sound. He had no idea when Charles had jumped, let alone where Charles had been shot.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Newton. I was under anesthesia at that time. As for Mr. Newton… I’m not. sure about his condition.” Isaac lowered his head in frustration.

If he had been able to save Charles in time, everything would’ve been fine.

After all, having someone familiar with Muprary assisting in the investigation would simplify things considerably.

Whitney quickly grabbed the phone she had tossed aside, found the person’s name, and dialed their number.
