"Alright... we'll take it as evidence. As long as Mrs. Nelson is innocent, we certainly won't wrong a good person," the officer said with a friendly smile.
Ella walked over to Eric's side. "Let's head back. Tonight, we'll treat Mr. Anderson to dinner."
Eric gave Lucas a meaningful look. "Alright, thank you, Mr. Anderson, for this."
Even if Lucas hadn't come, Eric had other ways to take Ella away.
It would have only delayed him by a few minutes.
Lucas smiled warmly. "You're welcome. See you tonight."
Watching Eric walk off with his arm around Ella, the officer wiped the sweat from his brow, his hands and feet trembling slightly. "How am I going to explain this to Mr. Bowen and Ms. Miller?"
After weighing his options, he concluded that the Anderson family's influence still surpassed that of the Millers.
