Chapter 164: Whisper From The Cell

"Thank you, Your Grace, for your cooperation," Elijah said, his pen scribbling the last word of Vyan's testimony. He looked up with a satisfied smile. "With your account and the evidence we've gathered on Fred McHale's crimes against the Starlight Orphanage kids, he's looking at either lifetime imprisonment or a swift execution. You can rest easy."

Vyan gave a small nod, acknowledging the lieutenant's words.

Elijah's gaze flicked to Iyana, professionally seated beside Elijah on the couch. A mischievous grin tugged at his lips as he stood. "Well then, I will take my leave and let you two lovebirds enjoy some alone time."

Iyana shot him a glare that could have frozen the sun, but Elijah only responded with a sheepish victory sign before making a hasty exit. The door clicked shut, and Iyana let out a long sigh, slapping a hand over her face. "Sorry about that. I really should have been calmer yesterday. Now, all my colleagues are buzzing with gossip."
