Seeing as more and more people came, the police officers started getting frustrated. A
new officer who had just joined was a loyal fan of Luna. Maybe because he was starstruck and biased
toward his favorite celebrity, he refused to believe that the graceful and beautiful Luna Zelda would do
such a thing.
He was putting effort into trying to resolve the case. “Why make it such a big deal?”
Freya side-eyed him and asked, “You’re new, aren’t you? Have you even graduated from the police
academy? Do you even understand the law? How is something that involves a human life, not a big
deal?” The newbie was rendered speechless. Another experienced police officer saw that the newbie
had dug himself a hole and was ready to defend him when Freya announced sternly, “If you can’t solve
the case here, we’ll bring the case over to the headquarters . I refuse to waste any more time with you.
Where’s your chief officer? Or I’ll just call the headquarters myself.” Ross and Luther exchanged a
knowing look to each other as the corner of their mouths lifted. They had not experienced such a power
trip in a long time. The last time they did was when their mother was still alive.
Freya’s aura and temperament were similar to their mother too.
They felt oddly close and familiar to Freya at that moment.
Sage stood closest to Freya. Her emotions were even stronger compared to the was a touching feeling,
having someone to protect you whenever you need it. Even though his marriage with Jace was a
failure, her bonds with the Yuriels were genuine. Sage would forever be grateful for Freya’s kindness.
The chief officer arrived at the scene in a hurry. After anxiously learning everything from the officer in
charge, he became even more anxious. He would never risk offending the Yuriels’ missus, but his
relationship with Lucas went way back as well. From his point of view, the case was never a criminal
case, to begin with. It was an internal affair between wealthy families. It could only be resolved, starting
with the man who was stuck between both parties.
The chief officer pulled Lucas aside and said defeatedly, “Lucas, it’s been so many years. Haven’t you
learned how to handle those two women? Why are they still fighting with each other?”
Lucas looked at the hall, and he stared defeatedly at the two women with invisible daggers in their
hands. The chief officer was wrong. There had always been just one woman that he had not learned to
handle.
The chief officer’s arrival was not entirely useless. At the very least, he was able to read out the clause.
“According to the clause of the country’s Criminal Law, if a crime has already been carried out but was
unsuccessful due to reasons other than the criminal’s will, it is counted as an attempted crime. For
attempted offenders, a lighter or reduced punishment may be applied.
“Intentional homicide is a crime, and if the circumstances are serious, he may be sentenced to death,
life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years; if the circumstances are
relatively minor, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than three years and less
than ten years.” Sienna’s eyes widened in shock as she covered her mouth. “That serious?” Luna’s
face was completely drained of blood. It seemed that things had gotten out of hand.
Luna had lost any thoughts she previously had and begged Lucas as if he was her last resort,” Lucas,
you have to help me. I really didn’t mean to do that…” Lucas fell silent. Whether it was intentional or
not, he could not just watch the woman who had been with him for so many years become a criminal
overnight. He opened his mouth after a long pause, “Freya, let’s just try to resolve the tension between
you two instead of deepening it. Are you able to let this go this time? Is there anything that you need?
I’ll try my best to fulfill whatever request you have now.” Freya scoffed lightly and said, “Lucas Spencer,
aren’t you such a hero? I guess that’s what makes her fall for you, huh?” Lucas pursed his lips in
embarrassment. Freya chuckled in disdain before saying, “Fine, I’ll do exactly what you asked for like I
always did. Why don’t you take the blame for the crime she committed and go to jail on her behalf?
How’s that sound?”
