My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1831

Yes, whether there were any problems with the bar, Quill would check it out. They just needed to focus on their tasks to help Quill solve the case.

Adrienne expressed her gratitude sincerely, "Mr. Zelson, thank you!"

Zelson responded, "I'm your mentor. There's no need to be so polite with me."

"I am not being polite with you. I'm just showing my gratitude, and you taught me that." Adrienne smiled. "If there is nothing else, I will go back to my office first."

"Adrienne..." Zelson stopped her. After a pause, he added, "Take good care of yourself. You only get one life and no do-overs. Don't take your life too lightly."

"Don't worry. I can assure you that I will take good care of myself. You have to take care too." Adrienne nodded and promptly left Zelson's office.

Adrienne did not know much about Zelson. She had never thought about getting to know him outside of work, so she never knew what Zelson was thinking.

She only knew that Zelson's parents had passed away and he was fostered in an orphanage. She heard that he had suffered a lot when he was a child. Later, he had worked hard to build himself up.

Those who had experienced hardship in life would understand better that a good life was hard to come by. Therefore, Zelson had always done a good job and had never made mistakes in work. The previous incident probably hadn't been up to him.

Although society as a whole was improving slowly, there was still a dark side to it. Just because she couldn't see it, that did not mean that it didn't exist. Many people were left with no choice but to succumb to their darker instincts.

Quill, Zelson, and even herself. But not Jefferson. He had enough support and protection around him, thus he could do as he pleased.

Nevertheless, a majority in this world were people like Zelson and her. There were rarely those equivalent to Jefferson.

About an hour later, the interrogation over on Jefferson's side ended. When he appeared by Adrienne's office door, she couldn't help but be surprised. "How did you come out?"

"Would you prefer if I was locked up inside and never came out?" Jefferson sat sideways on her desk and playfully hit her head with a book. "Dr. Carter, you're ruthless."

Needless to say, she was happy to see him released, but she wanted to know what was going on. "The evidence that Sergeant Scott currently has is enough to lock you up. It's puzzling that he didn't."

"I've doubted Quill's abilities more than once. It's the same this time around. There was such a big loophole that he had missed. He fell right into the enemy's trap and was led to believe I am the prime suspect."

"Don't say such unpleasant words. Sergeant Scott isn't that bad. It's just that there have been too many cases recently, and he has been having a hard time dealing with them." Adrienne stood up and walked over to Jefferson, asking, "Is your leg okay?"

"It's all right. I'm fine." It hurt a little, but it didn't bother Jefferson. After all, he was young and strong. After a few hours of rest, he had recovered most of his strength.

"Glad you're fine." Adrienne's gaze moved from his leg and to his face. After confirming that he was okay, she moved on to other topics. "Then tell me about how you proved your innocence and got Sergeant Scott to let you go."

"The murderer had recorded his killing. Such powerful evidence, but Quill didn't manage to find it." Jefferson was haughty as always. "That's why I said that his abilities are doubtful, yet you're defending him."

"Recorded his killing? What a psychopath." Adrienne's heart fiercely trembled as she gasped, "What kind of person is the murderer? How could he be so vicious?"

"It has nothing to do with you. Why do you care so much?" Jefferson's eyes were flashing. Seeing this, Adrienne had a bad feeling. She asked, "Is the murderer one of those who kidnapped me to threaten you?"

Those people were all outlaws. They didn't care about their lives, and there was nothing they didn't dare to do. Jefferson didn't want Adrienne to be overly involved, so he scolded, "I told you to drop it. Why are you still being so nosy?"

"So, it was them. Did they do this to provoke the dignity of the law or to make a statement to you?" No matter what their purpose was, it was terrible. If they were not brought to justice soon, there would be more innocent people getting hurt. Adrienne had to do something. "Jefferson, where are the men that were caught yesterday? Can you let me speak to Weldon?"
