Elliot stared at the list of suspects displayed on the screen, which had included their social network as well.

“We believe that it’s not something done out of impulsivity. The thief is very well-informed of your family and Presgrave Hospital. We’ve even come to a conclusion where pregnancy is the suspect’s objectives. The suspect wants to bear your child to be one of the future heirs.” Roy gave a detailed breakdown.

“These six people are the suspects for now. They belong to the upper echelons in the hospital who have considerable authority to set the plan into motion with ease. Is there anyone that appears suspicious to you, Mr. Presgrave?”

Elliot shook his head lightly. “I rarely take part in the management of the hospital, so I don’t know much about them.”

His job was only to check the hospital’s income from the annual reports. As of the management, the current director was in charge of it.

“Based on the information we have, their network is kinda complicated and there’s nothing off about their bank statement. Since their annual income is high, they don’t have any problem with money. Of course, we’re still digging into other aspects.”

Elliot looked at the screen as Roy swiped the pictures one by one. Suddenly, something caught his attention. “Please zoom in into the third picture.”

Almost immediately, Roy did as he was told. From the corner of the screen, one could see a suspicious figure walking across the corridor. The person took a few peeks of the surroundings before leaving.

“He’s Shawn Elrod, the director. His network is quite large. Do you know him, Mr. Presgrave?”

“He’s the assistant director’s cousin. I’ve seen him a few times during meetings. Please show me every footage and picture you have of him,” requested Elliot as he thought of something.

The other officers took actions and sifted through the pictures and footage to pick out everything that had caught Shawn in it. Roy took a sip of coffee while looking at the screen before he turned to Elliot in surprise at the very second.

He wondered if Elliot had served in the military before. Otherwise, how could he sense that something was off about Shawn at first glance when there were so many other suspects?

At that moment, Shawn’s actions became questionable in the footage. While he was calling for help to put out the fire, he was evacuating at the same time. He was not genuinely concerned about the fire. In fact, it was all just a show.

“Mr. Presgrave, you have a great sense of observation. This guy is behaving strangely,” said one of the officers.

Elliot had spent his days in the army since he was nine till he was sixteen, which explained his keen observation. After seven years of dominating the business world, he also developed the ability to identify a person’s true nature.

“Roy, we’ve reviewed his contact history, and he made a call to someone named ‘Liam Presgrave’ while he was in the car.”

The sparkle in Elliot’s eyes turned as cold as a blade. Liam? Is Shawn working for him?

“Look into Liam Presgrave,” Roy ordered his men as he turned toward Elliot. “Do you know who this man is, Mr. Presgrave?”

Elliot clenched his hands into a fist on the table as he comprehended what had happened. He nodded. “I know him. He’s one of the elder members of the Presgrave Family. Two months ago, he offered me an international collaboration, but I declined.”

“We must arrest Shawn Elrod as soon as possible,” Roy ordered his men.

Elliot said, “Roy, I’ll give you a list of names. I would appreciate it if you restricted them from leaving the country.”

Roy nodded as he said, “Got it. Please send it to me as soon as possible.”

Elliot called Rey over to make a list of names immediately. Each and every single name on the list was connected to the Presgraves.

As soon as he left the police station, he got into his car, took out his phone, and called Anastasia.

“Hey, How’s everything going? Any clues?” she asked anxiously.

“The investigation has yielded some new information. Liam likely has something to do with it.”

“Liam? Lorelai’s father?” She was astonished.

“Do not worry about it. We’ll get to the bottom of it.” Elliot tried to soothe her. Since the incident, he found it distressing to see her suffering from constant nightmares.

“Is it Lorelai? If her father stole your sperm, does that mean he wants her to get pregnant with your baby?” Anastasia was so mad that she almost lost her mind.

“”Anastasia, calm down. I won’t let that happen,” Elliot reassured her.

“Arrest her at all costs. We must not allow her to get away from this.” Anastasia clenched her teeth. She had completely underrated Lorelai.

“I will be home in one hour. Wait for me.” He wanted to go home but had to stay and cooperate with the police in their investigation.

Finally, a sigh of relief lifted her spirits. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.”

The officers, amid an investigation in the hospital, received a call and headed to Shawn’s office. Shawn happened to be on his way to the bathroom, so he was not in the office. However, he was able to overhear the conversation that was taking place between his assistant and the officer as soon as he turned the corner at the end of the corridor.

“Mr. Elrod is not at his office.”

“When will he come back?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Please notify us as soon as he returns,” the officers said sternly.

Shawn panicked and scurried out to the restroom to avoid further attention. Never in his wildest imagination did he think the police would approach him. Do they suspect me?

With shaking hands, he reached for his phone to call Liam.

“Hello.”

“I’m done for, Liam. It looks like the police are suspecting me! How’s the situation over there? Is it successful?”

“When was that?”

“Just now, the police officers came to my office. Don’t worry. I’m not going to say anything.” Shawn hung up the phone, deciding that he should leave the hospital.

Apparently, he had planned on taking the 10.00PM flight, but now he knew he had to reschedule it or miss his chance to escape for good. He called his daughter and insisted that she make the necessary arrangements.

When Lorelai got the call, she was anxious because she had not anticipated that they would find out about it so soon. Right now, all she wanted to do was escape the country as quickly as possible.

Her assistant purchased the earliest flight ticket and accompanied her onboard. When the police called the airport’s management department, Lorelai had already left the country.

The information was immediately transmitted to the police.

Roy informed Elliot, “We’re one step too late, Mr. Presgrave. We will contact Interpol immediately and request their aid, but we cannot promise that we will be able to stop her.”

“Please give me her flight information,” Elliot requested.

“Mr. Presgrave.” Roy was hesitating.

“You can proceed with the customary procedure,” responded Elliot. Lorelai needed to be deported back to the country so that she could face punishment. Even if the authorities were powerless to stop her, he had to take action.
