Nathan Leafcastle raised his hand towards the room next door, "Then go catch him!"
"Mr. Leafcastle, at the mont, we don’t have evidence proving that Mr. Cooper is responsible for this matter, so I can’t arrest him. I understand your feelings, and please understand our work."
Nathan Leafcastle snorted coldly and strode out of the office.
"Nathan!"
Sally Dalton hurriedly chased after him, followed by Michael Freenan and others.
Nathan Leafcastle returned to the office where Kris Cooper was, and Vera Wave imdiately stretched her arm to block Kris Cooper as soon as she saw Nathan rush in.
"Brother Nathan, I’m sorry, but..."
"Move!"
Nathan Leafcastle growled in a low voice.
"This really wasn’t done by Kris!" Vera stood her ground, not moving, her eyes filled with tears looking at him, "I can swear to you, this... this was just an accident!"
"Shut up!"
"You shut up!"
Kris Cooper shouted angrily at Vera, raising his hand to pull Vera behind him, and then looked at Nathan Leafcastle with dignity.
"This matter has nothing to do with her, don’t vent your anger on her."
Nathan Leafcastle’s chest heaved, about to erupt, but Sally Dalton quickly rushed over and grabbed his arm.
"Nathan, don’t be impulsive, we’ll go through legal procedures, the law will give Aunt justice."
Taking a deep breath to suppress the rage in his heart, Nathan Leafcastle pointed at Kris Cooper’s face.
"I’m going to charge you with murder right now!"
Sally Dalton forcefully dragged him out the door by his arm.
"Kris!" Vera grabbed Kris Cooper’s arm, her face full of helplessness, "What do we do now?"
"Don’t be afraid!" Kris Cooper gently held her in his arms, "You know, your husband didn’t do it, what do you have to worry about?"
After comforting her with a few words, he turned around to look at Michael Freenan.
"Officer Liu, can I leave now?"
"You can go back for now, but... until the matter is cleared up, you... cannot leave Nicosa."
"Thank you."
Nodding to the other party, Kris Cooper led Vera out of the office and left the police station with Tommy Taylor and others.
Out of concern for Vera’s emotions, Kris Cooper didn’t take her back to the old house but instead brought her back to the apartnt.
Tommy Taylor bought a al and ca back, Kris Cooper personally brought it to her. Seeing the vegetarian porridge in the bowl, Vera’s eyes flashed with the images of Liliana Davis and her father, and she rushed into the restroom to vomit violently.
She kept retching until there was nothing left in her stomach.
Kris Cooper accepted the water handed over by Tommy Taylor, let her rinse her mouth. Knowing she had no appetite, he didn’t force her; instead, he took her upstairs, settled her on the bed, and fed her so warm water.
"Husband." Vera stretched her cold little hand to grab his palm, "Is everything really okay?"
"It’s okay." Kris Cooper smiled reassuringly at her, "Rest assured, it will be fine, be good, don’t overthink, just close your eyes and have a good sleep."
Like comforting a child, he patted her back. After a while, Vera fell asleep under his calming presence.
Gently getting up, Kris Cooper covered her with the quilt before carefully going downstairs.
Downstairs, Tommy Taylor and the lawyer were waiting for him.
Seeing him co over, the lawyer imdiately inquired about the details, and Kris Cooper briefly explained the situation to them.
The lawyer frowned, "If this is really the case, the current situation is very unfavorable for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a knock on the door echoed.
