All Chapters of Love in another shadow: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

CHAPTER 161The Fixer picked up a cigar from the table beside him, he put the end of the cigar to his lips and began to take a slow sip. He romanticized the puffs of smoke coming out of his mouth and let them touch the surface of Angela's beautiful face. Angela was already fifty years old, but thanks to the expensive treatments and healthy foods she consumed after her illness, she managed to make her face look even younger and healthier. It made Angela look beautiful despite her age."Our people have been keeping an eye on Alicia and so far, Alicia doesn't seem to be going to see Ace. It looks like they don't know where Ace is either," the man said in a husky voice.The Fixer had a stern face with a beard filling his high jaw. He had a perfect nose that made him look cool and evil at the same time. He raised one eyebrow, when he finally continued, "Do you think... Ace will go to Alicia?""Ace is so obsessed with Alicia, he'll come and when he does, you should be able to bring him to m

CHAPTER 163Noel and Hendrick, who had observed the dynamic, exchanged glances. The meeting ended with a strong sense of purpose and determination. Nicholas spoke directly to Elden, "I believe you're ready to hit the ground running, Elden. We have some leads to follow up on, and your insights might just be the key to unraveling this mystery."Elden nodded, his eyes reflecting a strong determination. The team split up, each member preparing to begin their task. Elden, guided by Noel and Hendrick, familiarized himself with local protocol and the ongoing investigation.Little did they know, the collaboration between Nicholas, Peter, and new member, Elden, would set in motion a chain of events that would lead to unexpected twists and turns. The shadows of the city hide secrets waiting to be uncovered, and this eclectic team is determined to uncover them."Let me give you my report, Chief!" This time, it was Hendrick who spoke up. He raised his hand, drawing the attention of the people in

CHAPTER 165When everyone was staring at Elden, he just looked relaxed and shrugged his shoulders innocently. Elden gave a small smile. "Because someone who leaves their home for a long time, will tend to want to check if their home, their family is alright."Nicholas agreed with that. He then looked at Noel. "Anyway, is there anything else about Jill, that could be a clue?""Nothing, Nick. Jill got out of prison at the time the police said she would," Noel said, pulling out a note from the journal he had previously given to Elden. "No one has seen him since he was put on probation. No criminal record. No problems with other inmates. So, do you think we should rule him a victim or a perpetrator?""He took his daughter away because he couldn't pay the hospital fees, which is illegal. And, if no one else is proven to have entered the cliff house, that means she was the one who poisoned his daughter. He is the perpetrator in the case, but his body was found on the beach, and there was a

CHAPTER 167"This corner has a window with a trellis, while that side has no trellis." Nicholas pointed to the far end, to the box-sized window whose curtains were burnt. "The fire department arrived thirty minutes after the fire started. That's long enough for the whole house to catch fire."Noel found himself agreeing with Nicholas' statement. One hand felt the table that was now lying on the floor. It looked burnt, with half of the table black and the legs looking fragile."This still doesn't explain why Michelle was hit by the table and died on the spot. Her head was indeed injured, probably hit by this table. But, how?"Nicholas and Noel exchanged glances. "Was Michelle framed, invited to go to this area and then hit her head on the table. So, this table would be the only evidence and reason why Michelle could have died instantly.""Doctor Harris said that it was a quick death. Death caused by a fatal injury. How hard was the blow to Michella's head that she hit the table and die

CHAPTER 169Uncle Chuck had just locked the door flap at the back of the truck to secure the items he was carrying. Uncle Chuck had planned to take the bottles of milk to the children at the orphanage. And he intentionally brought Alicia as well as Ethan along, to introduce how he built the shop business. He sold, earned a little profit from the sales and gave a little of that profit to the children at the orphanage."Okay, it's done," Uncle Chuck said and got into his truck.Alicia and Ethan sat next to Uncle Chuck, the three of them, as the engine of the truck that had been his companion for ten years finally started and moved forward. They drove through the quiet country roads at night. But Uncle Chuck didn't stop surprising them. Suddenly Uncle Chuck turned the wheel, going in a direction he wasn't supposed to.And the change sent Alicia into a panic. She scanned the road markers in confusion, looking right and left with a worried expression. Alicia cleared her throat and asked, "
