“Impossible!” Doretta burst in, frantically examining the seals one by one, muttering to herself, “It can’t be, how could these be fake? This is absolutely impossible.”
Everett suddenly grabbed Doretta’s wrist, looking at her menacingly. “You dare to play me?!”
“No, I didn’t.” Doretta shook her head in a panic, trying to defend herself. ’ He’s deceiving you, these can’t possibly be fakes.”
“Doretta, from the very beginning, I knew why you joined the company. How could I possibly let anyone get their hands on the real seals?” Eliar asked, his voice tinged with a chill, “How could you do this, considering how well my mother treated you?”
He might not be hurt, or even care, but Emma really treated Doretta well, only to have her sincerity trampled upon like this.
“I…” Doretta’s face turned pale. She was unable to utter a single word.
“The police have been alerted, you better cooperate with their investigation, “
Patricia stated, casting a cold glance at Everett, signaling the end was near.
Just as she finished speaking, the head of security led several police officers into the office.
“Alright, I’ve lost this time,” Everett shrugged, addressing Ellar, “I hope the next time we meet, you still carry this same confidence.”
The police had escorted Everett and Doretta from the premises, casting a veil of silence over the office.
“Finally, it’s all settled,” Ellar sighed with relief.
Yet, Patricia seemed lost in contemplation, her gaze lingering on the now- empty doorway.
“What’s wrong?” inquired Ellar, noticing her distraction.
“I can’t shake off this odd feeling, but I can’t quite figure out why,” Patricia admitted, her frown deepening.
Ellar, still perplexed, remarked, “But didn’t everything unfold smoothly?”
They had unveiled Everett’s deceit and brought Doretta to justice. The unforeseen twist was Doretta’s arrest; Ellar hadn’t anticipated her showing up, but she had incriminated herself by her mere presence and admission of guilt, resulting in her apprehension alongside Everett.
“Yet, I can’t help feeling that Everett’s effortless capture and Doretta’s arrest are too coincidental,” she mused, her intuition nagging at her. Eliar had been prepared to let Doretta off the hook, provided she exited San Joto for good.
Patricia’s discomfort grew, her expression turning grim as she murmured, ” I need to verify something.”
