Waylon thought Hayden had acquiesced when the latter kept silent, so he said, "Then can you tell us where were you this afternoon?"Hayden sighed. "I was in the office. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate."Waylon nodded. "Are you sure you have no contact with her?""Of course! I wasn’t even dating her at all, just once..." He sneaked another glance at Suki as he spoke.Suki was not looking at him but was looking down at Waylon's profile.Waylon was looking at him. "We need to collect your fingerprints and DNA samples, I hope you will cooperate.""I said, her death has nothing to do with me!" Hayden became agitated again.To collect his fingerprints and DNA samples meant putting him on the list of suspects! This was a little unacceptable for him."However, some eyewitnesses said they saw you leaving Lianne's residence recently. How do you explain that?"What Waylon said suddenly confused Hayden.He left the morning after that night, and he never went
"That—" He had to tell her.Suki stopped and looked back at him, her face still calm.Hayden blushed inexplicably. "Well, my relationship with the deceased is not what you think!""I'm not in charge of solving the case. You don't have to explain to me what relationship you had with her. If necessary, you can explain to Waylon and the others." She replied in a business-like manner.Hayden: "..."Whenever this woman opened her mouth, her words could choke people to death."That's not what I meant. I think we are friends now, so I don't want you to misunderstand my character."Suki raised her eyebrows, looking a little surprised. "It seems Mr. Gunn and I have different definitions of friends. In my opinion, you and I only had a professional commission once. We are not friends."Hayden felt choked to death again.‘This woman! Does she have to be so cold? Even if she doesn’t consider him a friend, is there any need to say it out loud?’"Anyway, I'm still very grateful for you spea
The next evening, Hayden received an unexpected call from Suki Walker."Let’s meet at the restaurant we were at the last time," Suki went straight to the point without any foreshadowing.Hayden was taken aback and asked cautiously, "Mm... what's the matter?""Let's talk when we meet. I may be a little late, let’s do seven o'clock." Suki hung up the phone after she finished speaking.Hayden held onto his phone, feeling stunned for quite some time.‘Why would Suki, who doesn't regard me as a friend, take the initiative to call me to invite me out? Could it be that she’s interested in me?Nonetheless, he put in effort to dress up before he went to meet Suki.When he got to the restaurant, he saw that Suki had already arrived.He was surprised that she was early this round since she was twenty minutes late the last time.He sat down and placed an order with the waiter. While he waited for his meal to be served, Hayden asked her, "Why did you ask to meet today?"Suki took out a US
Hayden was delighted in that instant. "In that case, you don't think that I…""As a forensic doctor, we rely on evidence, not subjective assumptions. I will not make preconceived conclusions about corpses without any evidence."She said and looked directly at him. "It's the same with corpses and people. You don't have to worry about me making any comments on your character or it affecting your reputation. I'm not interested in gossiping with others."It turned out that she thought he was afraid that she would gossip about him. "That's not what I meant, I just don't want you to think I have a problematic character." Hayden waved his hand.Suki raised her eyebrows and showed a surprised expression. "Does it matter?""What?""Does it matter to you what I think of your character?" Suki asked earnestly as if she truly did not understand what he meant. "There are thousands of people in this world. If you want to care about what everyone thinks about you, you probably can’t live your
On the way to the hospital, Hayden and Suki sat side by side at the rear of the ambulance. They watched as the paramedic put on various monitoring instruments on the old man."Didn't you listen to what the passers-by said?" Hayden said softly.Suki turned to look at him and did not say a word."Passers-by said that this old man's son is a gangster. If he doesn't make it, we may be blackmailed by him. Aren’t you afraid…""What should I be afraid of? There is plenty of evidence to prove that I intended to save him." Suki interrupted Hayden."We don't have any video on hand.""Do we need a video? There are surveillance cameras along the road."Hayden smiled and said, "I almost forgot that you're a policewoman and it's very easy for you to get your hands on surveillance footage. If his son intends to blackmail the police, that’s just his bad luck."Suki glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"Hayden shook his head and replied, "I'm not afraid.""Why? Most people wouldn’t g
When Sonnet walked in while holding onto Maxwell's arm, everyone in the hall stopped talking and turned their heads to look at them.The two of them looked perfect for each other. Everyone would focus their attention on them whenever they showed up, just like what happened at Will Brooks’ birthday party.Matteo was the first to greet them. He excitedly said, "Maxwell! It’s wonderful, you're finally back!" As he said that, he went over and hugged Maxwell.Maxwell patted him on the back to calm him down.After Matteo hugged Maxwell, he looked at Sonnet and said, "Sonnet, I'm so happy for you! I thought that Maxwell...Now he's back so you and Maxwell can continue to live a happy life together!"Sonnet smiled at him and replied, "Thank you for your kind words."Among the Brooks, she had the best impression of Matteo. Although after Maxwell "died", he did not help her much, he was considered innocent compared to those in the Brooks who had evil intentions.Mariette watched Matteo gre
Sonnet was curious about what Will would talk to Maxwell about. She could not help but glance in the direction of the study.Will's wife, Monica Wagner, noticed where she was looking and said to Sonnet with a smile, "Don't worry, it's good news."Sonnet looked away from the study and smiled at Monica.Monica was chubby and had a round face. She looked kind when she smiled and her attitude towards everyone was amiable.Monica took the fruit fork and handed a piece of fruit to Sonnet. "Come, come, eat some fruit. You have been part of the Brooks for two years. This is the first time you’ve visited the Brooks Estate, right?"Sonnet nodded and responded, "When we first got married, I wanted to come to the Brooks Estate to meet all of you but I was afraid that everyone might be busy, and I would get in the way, so I didn't come to visit."In the past, everyone in the Brooks treated Maxwell as a fool. They did not go through with his wedding and did not even want to see them.Since Mo
Sonnet nodded and continued talking, "It's not much money but it's enough to treat the burns on his face. However, it's very difficult to get rid of them completely so he still has one or two scars on his face.""When did he return to Harbor City?""It took several months just for the operation and recovery. A while ago, his memory suddenly returned, and he immediately returned to Harbor City. When he came back, he found Mr. Pine, who immediately held a press conference on his behalf. I didn't see him until that night!""He’s so close to you but he didn't come to find you immediately upon returning?" Rebecca, who had been silent all this time, suddenly gave out a "hmph" and said."Yeah, if it were me, I would definitely go find Sonnet before anything," Matteo echoed."He really didn't look for me as soon as he came back but I think he did a thorough investigation on how I’ve been the past couple of months." Sonnet smiled.Before Maxwell appeared in front of the public, he went to
