“You are?” the Cromwell family’s doctor turned around at the voice.

A young girl stood before him, her long black hair cascading down, biting into a piece of fruit candy. She looked quite young, but her face was so strikingly beautiful that it was hard to ignore. Her demeanor was cool, yet elegant, and a mole at the corner of her eye gave her an almost ethereal charm. Her deep, dark eyes seemed to exude a quiet but powerful presence, making anyone she looked at feel a subtle pressure.

Manager Monroe quickly spoke up, “Steven, this is the little miracle doctor I brought…”

“Nonsense!”

Before Manager Monroe could finish, a sharp reprimand cut him off.

“You greedy little girl again.” The voice of Evelyn Adler came as she slowly entered the room. Her gaze swept over Amelia, and her expression darkened. “So, you’re here to scam people because you can’t get paid, huh?”

She shouted, “Who let this person in? Was there no one to check on them?”

Hearing her shout, the attending doctor rushed ove

    During his days with the New York Police, there was never a case he couldn't solve, nor a person he couldn't catch.This was the first time he had ever sat here as a suspect, experiencing such a feeling."You're forcing a confession! This testimony is invalid!" Josiah panted heavily. "It itches! It itches! Stop it!""Forcing a confession?" Amelia raised her brow. "Sorry, in the Special Operations Team, there is no such thing as forcing a confession, only evidence. This is just the beginning. I actually hope you keep it all inside, so you can experience all the methods to come and truly feel what those people felt when you interrogated them!"She paused, then continued, "If I wanted to force a confession out of you, I could make you talk in ten seconds, get your bank password in thirty seconds, and make you wish you were dead in a minute. Because you and I are not the same. You take bribes, chase case closure rates, and send innocent people to prison."This situation lasted only three

    Darius waved his hand and said nothing more.Josiah turned around and walked straight outside.What he didn't know was that, right at the entrance of the New York Police, two black SUVs had silently parked there. Their bodies were sharply contoured, the windows covered with one-way explosion-proof film, making it impossible to see the people inside. The vehicles exuded an aura of deadly seriousness, warning strangers to keep away.As Josiah reached the entrance and saw the scene before him, his steps faltered. A group of people stood there, all dressed in identical black uniforms, their postures upright as pine trees, staring intently at Josiah."Who... who are you?" Josiah stammered, his teeth chattering. "Please move aside, I need to go home and change my clothes.""Josiah, right? Take him away." A member of the special unit immediately stepped forward, restraining Josiah and leading him toward the SUV behind.His face trembled with fear, all his former arrogance vanished, leaving o

    She immediately bent down, carefully removed the metal clip, and spoke softly: "Alfonso, I'm here."Alfonso slowly raised his head. When he saw Amelia, a flash of surprise and relief appeared in his eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but only a hoarse whimper came out. The intense pain in his body and the trauma he had endured could no longer be held back at the sight of Amelia; tears rolled down his cheeks."We have already gathered very clear evidence." The person in charge from the Federal Bureau of Investigation took out his phone, pulling up the documents and report submitted by Amelia: "Some time ago, your wife's account received an anonymous transfer of 200,000 dollars. The source of the funds is suspicious. After verification, this money was a bribe sent from an overseas account to you, with the purpose of coercing a confession from Alfonso through torture!""In addition, we have also received reports that during your tenure as captain, you repeatedly accepted bribes

    His voice was low and cold, like icy water in the dead of winter: "We only want to confirm Alfonso's safety. This is a reasonable request from the family and cannot be considered as obstructing your work. As for torture, we certainly do not wish for it to happen, but if it does, I believe Mr. Henderson is well aware of the consequences."Carl's gaze was icy, staring straight at Josiah as if he could see through every sordid thought in his heart.Josiah felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze, a vague sense of panic rising within him. But thinking of Triston's promise and what he had already done, he could only force himself to say, "Consequences? What consequences? We are acting according to the law and are not afraid of anyone's threats. I'll say it again: Alfonso is currently under interrogation and no visits are allowed. Please leave."Amelia's eyes were deep, and though she wanted to act, she could not. Her tone was extremely calm: "Mr. Henderson, I hope you remember what you

    It spread along his blood vessels, bringing a tingling numbness, but soon, that numbness turned into intense stabbing pain, as if countless steel needles were piercing his nerves all at once."Ugh..." Alfonso's body began to convulse uncontrollably, his teeth clenched tightly, his face growing even paler, and the coldness rolled off him like beads from a broken string.Seeing this, Josiah increased the current: "Speak! Did you organize a lewd gathering?"The current rampaged through Alfonso's body like a venomous snake, his consciousness began to blur, chaotic images flashed before his eyes: the ugly faces of those women in the villa, Triston's triumphant smile, the pain of the rubber baton striking him. Yet, he never forgot his bottom line."I... did... not!" Alfonso's voice was broken and gasping, each word squeezed out through gritted teeth."Still so stubborn!" Josiah shouted angrily, turning the current to its maximum."Ah!"A wave of excruciating pain instantly swept through Alf

    Amelia saw these comments. Setting aside the influence of paid posters, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. She knew that as long as there were netizens willing to think rationally, there was hope of winning this public opinion battle.Meanwhile, Alfonso was brought into the New York Police interrogation room. The lighting inside was harsh and white, the air thick with a pungent mix of disinfectant and cigarette smoke. A cold iron table stood in the center, surrounded by empty walls with no windows, and a single glaring incandescent lamp shone directly onto the tabletop, creating an oppressive and suffocating atmosphere.Alfonso was forced to sit on an iron chair, his hands cuffed and locked to an iron ring beneath the table. His mind gradually cleared a little, but the effects of the drug still left his whole body weak and his head throbbing. No wonder Triston said this was good stuff brought from overseas—it really lasted a long time.He slowly raised his head and looked at the t
