Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 477

There was a brief pause on the other end before he asked, "Ms. Scott, have you seen the news?"

I was taken aback but answered honestly, "Yes, I have. Are you talking about the white car explosion news?"

"Yes," he replied, "the police department has sent someone to deal with it. Iit was registered under Charlie's name. He’s been back in the country for a few days. Did you see him after we returned from the border?"

"I did." Knowing what he wanted to ask, I took a deep breath and said, "I don't know much about the car."

He quickly added, "Don't read too much into it. That's not what I meant. I called to tell you that the person in the car was burned to death, but the DNA test results just came in, and it's not Charlie. It's Becker Waterford!"

Hearing this news did not surprise me. It only made me feel helpless. It was just like Lucas to leave a trail of trouble behind him.

I figured that Ensio had called Idris away earlier because of this incident.

I sighed deeply and said into the phone, "Thank you for letting me know, Officer Long."

He remained silent for a moment and then said, "Ms. Scott, do you happen to know anything about the car accident?"

I furrowed my brows, hesitating for a moment.

Hearing no answer from me, he continued, "I don't mean to investigate you. I just want to remind you that Becker was on the department's blacklist, but he was also Charlie's trusted aide in the country. Now that he's dead, Charlie may not let this go easily. You and Mr. Young should be careful."

"Okay," I nodded. This time, Idris had acted too hastily. I knew he did not want me to follow Lucas to the border and take unnecessary risks, so he had planned to deal with Lucas in our homeland.

However...

After hanging up the phone with Gregory, I felt somewhat powerless. A sense of unchangeable exhaustion enveloped me.

It seemed like I still had to walk that path I had no choice but to take.

That was life. Just when you thought there might be hope, it would suddenly give you a reality check, bringing you back to square one with no other options.
