Chapter 300

Moreover, she seemed to be very close to Nathaniel.

With his thin, pale lower lip bearing the marks of his biting, Elijah remained silent,

suppressing his emotions. Watching Nathaniel approach Sheena with a tender gaze, raising his hand to touch her face, Elijah was surprised she did not evade.

Elijah acted almost instinctively, grabbing Sheena’s arm and redirecting her attention to himself.

“What’s wrong?” Sheena asked.

Elijah’s eyes welled up with tears, and his face pale as he said between coughs, “Sheena, I’m not doing too well… It hurts a lot…”

Only now did Sheena notice the deep red mark on his lower lip. Moreover, he appeared weak, not looking like he was acting.

Sheena asked, “Where does it hurt?”

Elijah hesitated but raised his bruised wrists. “My hands…”

Underneath the handcuffs, his wrists displayed deep red marks, swollen, and shocking to behold. Yet, instead of sympathy, Sheena’s expression turned cold.

Did this guy forget that she was also handcuffed like him?

It was clear that he did this to himself!

Sheena remained silent, her gaze piercingly focused on Elijah.

Quicker to grasp the situation, Nathaniel cast a cold glance at Maurice. “Using handcuffs so quickly, Captain Maurice? Who taught you these interrogation methods?”

Maurice’s face paled, and he stammered, “Mr. Nicholls, they are both suspects, so…

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes, emphasizing, “Release them.”

“Y–Yes, Mr. Nicholls.”

With a forced tone, Maurice commanded his subordinates to fetch the keys. One minute later, the handcuffs were removed.

Elijah, naturally, took Sheena’s hand and gently massaged her wrist. Nonetheless, the red marks on Sheena’s wrist were faint and soon disappeared. Given Elijah’s recent self–inflicted drama, she withdrew her hand without a trace of sympathy.

Sheena looked ahead, also voiding eye contact with Nathaniel. There was a complex emotion in her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Nathaniel took Maurice’s interrogation seat, scanning through the case files. After a while, he

chuckled.

“With the evidence you’ve gathered so far, it’s insufficient to accuse these two. You actually considered locking them up in the detention room. Are you trying to lose your position as captain?”

Caught between obeying orders from his superiors and Nathaniel’s crushing remarks, Maurice found himself in a dilemma. He promptly betrayed his superior, saying, “Mr. Nicholls, it’s not my decision. I wanted to release them, but Madam Carver and my superior disagreed. With my lower rank, I had to follow orders. But now that you’re here, it’s entirely up to you.”

Melania could tell that Nathaniel was here to assist Sheena. With him around, she speculated that not even the detention room would be an option, let alone imprisonment.

Frustrated, Melania complained, “I’ve heard of you, Mr. Nicholls, but it seems this case doesn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the Special Investigation Department. If you’re here to observe, fine, but intervening in Captain Maurice’s decision seems inappropriate.”

Nathaniel remained silent while Maurice cursed, “You know nothing! What’s the Farlem police station in front of Mr. Nicholls? As long as he wants to take charge, everyone here must follow his orders!”

Melania’s expression soured.

Bethany was equally resentful.

Still leaning on her hand, Sheena maintained her languid demeanor as if she were the bystander enjoying the show.

A strange silence engulfed the interrogation room for two minutes until a trace of disdainful laughter suddenly pierced the air.

Nathaniel frowned and stared at Elijah, asking, “What are you laughing at?”

All eyes turned to Elijah.

Unfazed, Elijah casually quipped, “Nothing much, just marveling at Captain Maurice’s skill in flattery.”

The implication was a sub
