Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection (PDF)
Chapter 386

Chapter 386 Ezra was in River City.

Marjorie paused slightly, pulled a smile, and said, "No need, I didn't do anything, just said what I wanted to say."

Alexander said, "Tabatha, you didn't get back together with Walter in Springbury, did you? How come you're even thanking him?"

I glanced at him, didn't say a word, just looked at Marjorie and said, "Take care on the road."

Marjorie nodded, got in the car. Alexander wanted to gossip, but couldn't bear to let Marjorie wait any longer. He got in the car and drove her away.

The next day.

On New Year's Eve, Captain Lucas called, saying he wanted me to go to the police station.

Knowing it was about Jacob's case, I didn't think much and just went.

Police station.

In Captain Lucas's office, there was hardly any unnecessary talk. Captain Lucas went straight to the point, "Ms. Conner, have you recently encountered any strange people or felt that something was not right around you?"

His question sent an involuntary shiver down my spine. I looked at him, puzzled, "Why would you ask that, Captain Lucas?"

He pursed his lips, saying, "I received a definite message from the people I sent out to investigate the case. Ezra is not dead, and,

currently, he is also in River City."

"Crash." The water cup I was holding slipped from my grasp and fell to the ground. The loud noise stunned me for a few seconds. He quickly got up to help clean up, asking me, "Are you okay?" I shook my head, took a moment to recover, and asked in disbelief, "He's in River City?"

Captain Lucas nodded, "Hmm, it's possible that he's been here for a while. What I'm currently worried about is that he might have escaped death and come to River City, possibly targeting you and Mr. Hinton. The previous few cases might also be related to him."

He paused, then said, "I called you here today to remind you to be careful when you go out recently. Also, the hospital has captured a photo of the murderer who killed Jacob. The photo is blurry because the camera was tampered with at the time. I have already arranged for the technical department to handle it as soon as possible. It should be out soon."

Seeing my confusion, he fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "Also, Hilda's death was most likely arranged by Ezra."

I froze, looking at him in almost disbelief, "Ms. Merchant's death was also related to him?"

Captain Lucas nodded, his face grim, "When Hilda was in trouble, her body was under autopsy. The police also investigated the situation of the fire at that time and confirmed it was a homicide. We found a suspect near the accident, who should be one of Ezra's men. Unfortunately, he didn't show his face, so we couldn't confirm his identity."

I barely heard what Captain Lucas said afterwards, it was probably about Ashley's situation in prison. I wasn't in the mood to listen, I left the police station in a daze.

I knew Ezra too well. He didn't die last time, and now that he's come to River City, he's definitely after me and Walter.

I wasn't afraid of death, I was just afraid that he would go mad and drag our family and friends to accompany us in our burial.

But he was in the dark, we were in the light, now even his people don't know where he is, let alone dealing with him.

"Woo woo woo..." The phone in my bag kept ringing incessantly. It took me a while to come back to my senses and answer the call.

"Where are you?" A pleasant male voice came from the other end of the phone. For a few seconds, I didn't realize who it was and instinctively glanced at the caller ID.

Daniel.

Staring at the phone, I blankly scanned the surrounding environment, gave my address, and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a good mood, saying, "Tabatha, you didn't forget what you said when you let me adopt these two little ones, did you? It's been a few days, aren't you going to come and see them?"

Those two adopted kittens.

After hesitating for a few seconds, I said, "I'll come another day, today is New Year's Eve, I need to go home..."

"It's still early now, come over first, I have a New Year's gift for you." His voice was soft, but very firm. I wanted to refuse, but he added,

"Sebastian has gone to pick you up."

Hearing this, I had no choice but to respond, "Okay!"

Not long after hanging up the phone, Sebastian's car indeed arrived.

Once in the car, my mind was still filled with thoughts of Ezra. Catching a glimpse of Sebastian's handsome face, I was suddenly reminded that he was also present in Chesterburg.

He couldn't help but ask, "Sebastian, do you still remember what happened to us in Chesterburg?"

He paused slightly, glancing at me sideways, "What's up? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

I pursed my lips, saying, "That freak didn't die at all."

"Zi..." He suddenly stepped on the brakes, and if it weren't for the seatbelt, I might have been thrown out already.
