Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate novel Chapter 684

Chapter 684 Assist With the Investigation 

Hayley’s POV: 

Benjamin stepped in front of me, his voice sharp. “Frederick, what’s this about?” 

Frederick responded in a level tone, “Apologies, Mr. Southwell. It came up suddenly, so I didn’t have time to inform you in advance. 

“Early this morning, three prominent physics professors from New College were found dead. Ms. Carson’s notes were discovered at the scene, making her the primary suspect. She must cooperate with our investigation.” 

Benjamin scoffed. “Your investigative skills need serious work. Hasn’t anyone told you Hayley hasn’t been attending class lately? And your wolf can’t tell that she’s just an Omega? How do you expect her to kill three professors, all ranked above her?” 

Frederick remained calm. “As you know, skipping class doesn’t mean she hasn’t been on campus.” 

Benjamin’s eyes glowed red. I could tell he was about to lose his temper, so I quickly calmed him down, agreeing to visit the scene. 

The incident took place at New College, an area with heavy foot traffic. To control rumors, the authorities had set up two barricades to keep bystanders away. 

After passing through, we arrived outside the Physics Research Building, where the deaths had occurred. 

Just then, Hera alerted me–she had caught a familiar scent. 

I immediately glanced toward the crowd near the barricades. Sure enough, among the onlookers stood 

Loretta. 

She wore the same coat as the suspected perpetrator, holding a book while peering inside on tiptoe. 

My expression hardened, and my fists clenched. 

If Loretta stayed there any longer, she’d get dragged into the investigation. 

Since she was the one handling my notes, the moment the police questioned the department, she’d become the real suspect. 

Benjamin’s POV: 

I noticed the change in Hayley’s expression and followed her line of sight–Loretta was there, lurking suspiciously. It didn’t take me long to figure out the situation. 

Hayley and I shared a knowing glance before I gave her a nod. 

I acted as if I were searching for clues, then skillfully slipped away unnoticed.

“There are so many officers here. What’s happening?” Loretta murmured to herself, clearly intrigued. 

Just as she finished speaking, I tapped her on the shoulder. 

She instinctively turned, her eyes widening in shock. “Ben-” 

I quickly gestured for her to stay quiet.
