Freddie continued, "You should think about this carefully. After all, Louis chose to burn those photos to protect you instead of using them as evidence in court."

Daphne hid her face in her hands after Freddie left, leaned against the chilly wall, and slowly slid down before squatting in the corner and sobbing aloud.

How did things end up this way?

For a long time, the only sound in the corridor was sobbing.

Uncertain how long had passed, Daphne finally got to her feet, her eyes red and her face covered in tears.

She wiped her tears away and told the police officers who were present in the lobby. "I'd like to report a crime."

As soon as she said that, the entire lobby fell silent.

Aside from the police officers, there were also various suspects and victims in the room, all looking at Daphne and recognizing her.

Just as someone was about to take out their phone to take a picture, Freddie walked over and blocked Daphne. He said to the police officer nearby, "Due to my client's public influence, can we have a separate office to record her statement?"

The police officer nodded and got up, leading them out of the lobby.

Freddie whispered to Daphne. "Don't worry, when you make your statement later, just answer the police officer's questions truthfully. Leave the rest to me."

Daphne nodded. Although her face was still pale and her eyes were swollen, there was a hint of determination in her expression.

During the statement, the police officer asked her, "What crime would you like to report?"

She sat on the sofa while gripping her hands tightly. "I'd like to press charges against Theodore Frost. He has harassed and threatened me multiple times. The security guard at the entrance of the residential area and the surveillance footage can serve as evidence."

The police officer further asked, "Is there anything else besides this?"

Daphne paused for two seconds before controlling the trembling in her voice and continued, "He secretly took nude photos of me without my knowledge, and…"

Seeing her hesitation, the police officer asked again, "What is your relationship with Theodore Frost?"

Daphne closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Two years ago, I was in a relationship with him for some time, but later I found out that he was married, so I broke up with him immediately." Freddie continued, "You should think obout this corefully. After oll, Louis chose to burn those photos to protect you insteod of using them os evidence in court."

Leanna followed her gaze and looked at the leaves in her hand that still had some warmth. "Yes. It sure feels like time is passing so quickly."

Oh, how quickly time flew by!

While the two of them were staring blankly at the winter scenery outside, Daniel hurriedly walked in.

Zoe had just gone to get water, and Leanna's office door was not closed, so he knocked on the door

and walked in directly.

Zoe turned her head. "Why are you…"

Daniel smiled slightly and said to Leanna, "Miss McKinney, can I invite you to dinner tonight?"

Leanna paused and glanced at Zoe Hart, puzzled. "Dinner?"

Daniel nodded. "Yes, I've always been eating at your place, so it's about time I treat you."

"Oh, you don't have to do that."

"If Miss McKinney doesn't have any other plans tonight, then it's on?"

Leanna looked at Daniel and then at Zoe.

What kind of conflict had these two gotten into that they wanted to drag her into being a peacemaker?

Zoe was also confused and shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she didn't know.

Leanna said, "Sure. Tonight."

"Then…" Daniel sat down. "Do you mind if I wait here until you're done working?"

Both Leanna and Zoe were speechless when they heard that.

Zoe lightly tapped his shoe with her foot. "What are you doing?"

Daniel gave a calm answer. "It's only a few hours until dinner. I don't want to go back and come back again."

Zoe thought he must be having some issues today.

And at this precise moment, Zoe's phone rang.

When she checked her phone, someone had sent her a few pictures along with the message, "Zoe, isn't this your friend's younger brother?"

Zoe looked at the blurry photos and sent a question mark in response.

Not long after, Zoe received another text message. "He seems to have killed someone. Many people in my circle are posting these photos and videos. Can you confirm if it's him?"

Zoe looked at the text, feeling like she recognized the person but also didn't.

She zoomed in on the photos and confirmed that the person in them was Louis. Her mind went blank for a few seconds, and then she instinctively said, "Nana."

Leann turned her head. "What's wrong?"

Leonno followed her goze ond looked ot the leoves in her hond thot still hod some wormth. "Yes. It sure feels like time is possing so quickly."
