The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 759

"Julian!"

"Juli..."

Four voices rang out in unison.

Sadie squeezed out a feeble note from her throat, her half-closed eyes widening ever so slightly.

She wasn't faring much better than Julian, and it was a miracle she had held on this long. But now, seeing her husband collapsed, she couldn't catch her breath. Her legs gave way, and she, too, started to fall! Thankfully, Percival and Vivienne were quick to catch them.

Kaitlyn's eyes were ablaze with fury, her dry tears sticking to the corners of her eyes, causing a stinging pain, "Rafferty, my in-laws haven't been convicted yet. Are you trying to make this a case of death without evidence?!"

Rafferty was also taken aback. He wasn't the one who had arrested them; he had only checked in on them during a shift change.

His sharp, eagle-like gaze turned to the junior officer beside him, his eyes filled with inquiry, "What's going on here?!"

Vivienne's hands moved away from the old couple's wrists, her icy stare shifting from the junior officer to Sophie and then back to Rafferty.
