Officer Davis’s words made the warning very clear.
Ryan’s brows furrowed. His fingers clenched into fists as he tried to keep his calm.
"Officer Davis, Delyth is recovering in the hospital. There is no way she could try to harm Arwen. I think you must be mistaken somewhere," he said firmly.
"We aren’t sure yet, Mr. Foster," Officer Davis explained, though his tone carried a distinct note of suspicion. "And that’s why I came to ask you about it. We aren’t accusing Ms. Ember of being involved in Ms. Quinn’s accident, but I still think you should watch that footage first and then tell us more in detail."
The furrow between Ryan’s brows deepened. "What footage, Officer Davis?"
"The footage from the night of the accident," the policer officer clarified. "At first, we didn’t think we would be able to recover anything. Almost all surveillance recordings from the night had either been destroyed or mysteriously disappeared. But earlier, we received a clip from an anonymous ID"
Ryan stiffened.
Anonymous ID?
That doesn’t sit well with him …
"Officer Davis, you can’t just accept video evidence from an unidentified source," Ryan said, his voice even, but his gaze darkened. If the officer had seen his expression at that moment, his suspicion might have grown stronger. "You know as well as I do that digital evidence can be easily manipulated. How can you be sure it’s authentic?"
"Mr. Foster," Officer Davis interrupted him, his tone unwavering, "we deal with this kind of situation every day. Although the footage was sent by an anonymous ID, we ran extensive checks to verify its authenticity. It hasn’t been tampered with —it’s a genuine recording from the night of the accident."
Ryan’s expression turned hard to read.
Since he was sitting in the dark, his face was obscured by shadows. Only his eyes, sharp and calculating, gleamed in the darkness as he pressed the phone to his ear.
After hearing Officer Davis say all that, one thing was very clear —
Someone deliberately shared the video with the police.
But why?
What did they stand to gain?
"I have sent the video to your mail, Mr. Foster," Officer Davis spoke again from the other end, adding, "You can take your time watching it and tell me about it tomorrow. Thank you for your cooperation today."
With that, the officer ended the call.

At the same time, in one of the most luxurious penthouses in New York …
Emyr stood at a distance, his phone pressed to his ear.
After receiving the confirmation from Cralens, he turned to his boss.
"Sir, the video has been successfully sent to the police," he reported. "They have confirmed its authenticity and have already taken it as evidence in Madam’s accident case."
Aiden stood with his back towards him, a crystal flute of wine in hand. Though Emyr couldn’t see his expression, he could sense the shift in the air —the tension dissipating ever so slightly.
His boss’s mood had improved.
