The silver-haired man reddened with anger when he saw the necklace. He seemed to have forgotten he was in
casts as he shot up from his seat and yelled, “Give me back the necklace!”
He risked going back to the explosion site to look for the necklace. It was the only thing his mother left him, and the
photo inside was also the only photo with both of them in it.
The police officers outside heard the commotion, and they rushed in to control him. “Behave yourself!”
The silver-haired man glared at Jeremy and gritted his teeth. “Give me back the necklace!”
Jeremy nonchalantly swung the necklace in front of him. “So, are you going to tell me who’s the mastermind now?”

Jeremy believed the silver-haired man, whose name was Rudy Holden, wanted him dead. Rudy was just one of the

he was not in a hurry.
Jeremy put the necklace back into his pocket and stood up. “Oh well, it seems like you don’t want this necklace that

He turned to leave the interrogation room after that.
Rudy became even more infuriated when he saw Jeremy was about to leave.
“Stop! Jeremy, you b*stard! Give me back the necklace! Give me back the necklace!”
“I’ll give you back the necklace after you tell me who the mastermind is,” said Jeremy without stopping.
“Jeremy! Don’t go! Give me back the…”

Tommy was already waiting for Jeremy at the entrance when Jeremy walked out of the police station.
“Mister Jeremy, you haven’t slept a wink these two days. You should go home and rest.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeremy did look exhausted. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked up at the bright full moon. “Tommy, is the
barbecue shack she likes still open at this hour?”
Tommy naturally knew who Jeremy was referring to, so he answered, “It should still be open. They do their business
till the early morning.”
Jeremy walked toward his car. “Bring me there.”
Tommy quickly followed after him. “Yes, sir!”

Meanwhile, it was very lively in the Riveras’ mansion.
