The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 758

Captain Rafferty's face was a mask of cool detachment as he awaited the conclusion of their heated exchange.

"We're up to speed on the matter," he finally said, his voice even. "Should the investigation yield any results, rest assured, we'll notify you promptly. We don't let criminals slip through the cracks on my watch." "My father-in-law hasn't done anything wrong!"

Kaitlyn, unable to contain herself any longer, wrenched free from Vivienne's grasp and stormed out.

Rafferty caught sight of Kaitlyn, his gaze faltering for a moment. "Kaitlyn? What are you doing here?"

Vivienne and Percival exchanged a puzzled look.

Did they know each other?

Kaitlyn's face, flush with anger, paused in surprise upon seeing a familiar face.

Her cool gaze settled on Rafferty as she scoffed, "So it's you. After all these years, you've climbed the ranks to captain. Seems the Abernathy family holds your elder brother in high esteem."

Rafferty's brows knitted together as he retorted, "My career has nothing to do with my brother."

"Whether it does or doesn't isn't my concern. The moment my family was torn apart, your family became my sworn enemies!"

After a brief pause, Kaitlyn's gaze softened, her voice suppressing the bitterness, "I didn't come here to stroll down memory lane with you. My father-in-law is innocent, and Cassidy's suicide had nothing to do with him!"

Rafferty's eyes flickered; he was about to explain that he wasn't in charge of this case.

Cassidy's mother, Zinnia, moved forward, tears streaming down her face. "Nothing to do with him? Does that mean we're framing him? That old coot - if not for the fact that our Cassidy was relatively unharmed back then, I would've had him behind bars already!"
