Ethan wasn't called for investigation so that he wouldn't know that his secret had been exposed and he wouldn't commit another murder before trial in court.

Olivia Smith, the defendant was called for interrogation at the defendant's table.

"Miss Olivia Smith, you were accused of murdering Mr Roland. The court adjourned the case till further notice, now you are accused of murdering Miss Ella. Why did you kill her?" The judge asked.

"Your Honor, I know nothing about these murder cases. I just happened to be at the crime scene which is putting me in trouble

"Objection Your Honor, Olivia is a killer who wouldn't hesitate to go to any length and cover her secret. It's obvious that she killed George Roland's father and Ella, but she wasn't wise enough to kill Ella when her case was still adjourned by the court." George Roland's lawyer said.

"Objection your Honor, we have evidence that my client, Olivia Smith is not a killer." Olivia's lawyer said presenting the evidence against Ethan. S

    It was time for the court to resume trial proceedings, and everyone noticed that Detective Kelvin was not around. Olivia was looking around hopefully to see him because she thought he had evidence that could clear her name from the murder case of Mr Roland. George Roland had no idea why Detective Kelvin was absent but he was happy that no one would be able to present any evidence proving that he killed his father. The judge knew that the case was already complicated, and he was surprised by the absence of Detective Kelvin. Meanwhile, the judge and the two lawyers continue the trial proceedings. "Your Honor, even in the absence of Detective Kelvin, I think all the recorded conversation and the secret plot of an unknown group of people should be considered as evidence that Mr George Roland has a hand in the death of his father." Olivia's lawyer said. "Those are not sufficient proofs. Besides, where is Detective Kelvin who presented the evidence?" George Roland's lawyer asked him.

Detective Kelvin was still battling with the shock that all that evidence was just bait to get him into their plan. He was still thinking when an unknown person walked into the room, the masked men interrogating Detective Kelvin went quiet which showed how powerful and influential that person would be. "Young man, you are doing too much and this matter is beyond what you think." The voice spoke loudly with authority. "Who is talking? Why are you doing all these and why are you putting the lives of people in danger?" Detective Kelvin who was still blindfolded by a cloth asked him. "What have you the audacity to question me? I admire your boldness but this boldness can make you lose your life, some things are better left unsaid. I want to offer you a big offer of five million dollars to stop investigating this case. If you accept, just forget what you have seen or heard a

They became informed about a surprising twist that made the whole issue complicated and difficult to resolve.They got to know that the anonymous men were people who had a high level of influence in the government agency, they were not just regular criminals. That means the person who orchestrated the murder of Mr Roland was probably someone in the courtroom, FBI or the public media who was trying to camouflage himself."This is more serious than I thought, how do we crack this case?"

    As George Roland heard about all the events unfolding surrounding Olivia and Detective Kelvin, a sense of satisfaction washed over him. For years, he had harbored a deep-seated belief that Olivia was somehow involved in his father's death, despite lacking concrete evidence. Now, seeing her embroiled in a web of danger and intrigue, he couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of vindication."Looks like karma finally caught up with you, Olivia," George muttered to himself, a dark smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. "You thought you could get away with it, but now you're paying the price."His satisfaction only grew as he heard about Detective Kelvin's involvement in the investigation. In George's mind, Kelvin was just as guilty as Olivia, complicit in the crime that had robbed him of his father.
