“Mr. Presgrave, you have a great sense of observation. This guy is behaving strangely,” said one of the officers.
Elliot had spent his days in the army since he was nine till he was sixteen, which explained his keen observation. After seven years of dominating the business world, he also developed the ability to identify a person’s true nature.
“Roy, we’ve reviewed his contact history, and he made a call to someone named ‘Liam Presgrave’ while he was in the car.”
The sparkle in Elliot’s eyes turned as cold as a blade. Liam? Is Shawn working for him?
“Look into Liam Presgrave,” Roy ordered his men as he turned toward Elliot. “Do you know who this man is, Mr. Presgrave?”
Elliot clenched his hands into a fist on the table as he comprehended what had happened. He nodded. “I know him. He’s one of the elder members of the Presgrave Family. Two months ago, he offered me an international collaboration, but I declined.”
“We must arrest Shawn Elrod as soon as possible,” Roy ordered his men.
Elliot said, “Roy, I’ll give you a list of names. I would appreciate it if you restricted them from leaving the country.”
Roy nodded as he said, “Got it. Please send it to me as soon as possible.”
Elliot called Rey over to make a list of names immediately. Each and every single name on the list was connected to the Presgraves.
As soon as he left the police station, he got into his car, took out his phone, and called Anastasia.
“Hey, How’s everything going? Any clues?” she asked anxiously.
“The investigation has yielded some new information. Liam likely has something to do with it.”
“Liam? Lorelai’s father?” She was astonished.
“Do not worry about it. We’ll get to the bottom of it.” Elliot tried to soothe her. Since the incident, he found it distressing to see her suffering from constant nightmares.
“Is it Lorelai? If her father stole your sperm, does that mean he wants her to get pregnant with your baby?” Anastasia was so mad that she almost lost her mind.
“”Anastasia, calm down. I won’t let that happen,” Elliot reassured her.
“Arrest her at all costs. We must not allow her to get away from this.” Anastasia clenched her teeth. She had completely underrated Lorelai.
“I will be home in one hour. Wait for me.” He wanted to go home but had to stay and cooperate with the police in their investigation.
Finally, a sigh of relief lifted her spirits. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.”
The officers, amid an investigation in the hospital, received a call and headed to Shawn’s office. Shawn happened to be on his way to the bathroom, so he was not in the office. However, he was able to overhear the conversation that was taking place between his assistant and the officer as soon as he turned the corner at the end of the corridor.
“Mr. Elrod is not at his office.”
“When will he come back?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Please notify us as soon as he returns,” the officers said sternly.
Shawn panicked and scurried out to the restroom to avoid further attention. Never in his wildest imagination did he think the police would approach him. Do they suspect me?
With shaking hands, he reached for his phone to call Liam.
“Hello.”
“I’m done for, Liam. It looks like the police are suspecting me! How’s the situation over there? Is it successful?”
“When was that?”
“Just now, the police officers came to my office. Don’t worry. I’m not going to say anything.” Shawn hung up the phone, deciding that he should leave the hospital.
