Alden Got Caught
Last Updated:
2024-12-24 13:31:24Luca’s instincts told him that the documents Alden had burned were crucial—very likely the evidence of Alden’s crimes.
Luca stood up abruptly and said urgently, “Find a way to stop him immediately. I’ll be there soon.”
His assistant sprang into action without hesitation.
At that moment, Alden spotted them and tried to flee, but the quick-witted assistant blocked his way. Two other subordinates also rushed forward, restraining Alden.
The assistant immediately attempted to extinguish the fire.
Seeing the charred fragments of paper, the assistant felt a pang of regret—they were still one step too late.
There was no way to tell how important those documents had been.
Before long, the sound of police sirens filled the air.
Alden froze, stunned, as if the sky had collapsed around him. His expression turned bleak and hopeless.
