“Hmph.” Mandy pursed her lips and joined the stream of people heading through the security.
checkpoint.
“Let’s move,” Zachary spoke indifferently, turning to the person behind him.
“Of course.” A middle-aged man dressed in black with a matching cap approached. He efficiently
collected the suitcases held by him and Kareen, saying, “Let’s go, Mr. Miles.”
“Hey, Uncle Elvis.” Zachary crossed his arms, glancing at the man’s back, shaking his head slightly. “I

“You saved my life as well.” Zachary sighed softly, approached Elvis, and gave his shoulder a
reassuring pat. “You have nothing to fear; I won’t harm you. Aunt Ariel is very fair and just. She

When Cherise and Damien arrived at the Adania Detention Center, it was well past one in the
afternoon.
As Cherise exited the car, she meticulously checked her appearance, determined to conceal any traces
of her earlier crying spell. Smiling, she linked her arm with Damien’s and entered the detention center.
“You’re here to see Elvis Shaw?” The police officer furrowed his brow deeply, looking puzzled as he
looked at Damien. “Didn’t you already know?”
“Know what?” Cherise was perplexed.
“Elvis Shaw has already been released.” The police officer placed a closed case file before Damien
and Cherise. “A woman named Maeve Lenoir personally confirmed the withdrawal of the charges
against him.
“It was a case from thirteen years ago, which was difficult to investigate due to the lack of substantial
evidence. And now, the only witness has declared that she’s dropping the charges. So, our superiors
decided to release him immediately.”
The police officer checked the time and said. “He left early this morning, and he should be back home
by now.”
Cherise was stunned, and a burst of joy flickered in her eyes. Joy surged through her as she heard
about her uncle’s freedom!
She eagerly held Damien’s hand. “Let’s go to the Shaw’s village to find my uncle, shall we?”

Although she didn’t understand why Maeve had withdrawn the charges, if she was willing forgive her
uncle and not dwell on the past, Cherise was ready to thank Maeve personally.
“Sure.” Damien frowned, started the car, and drove towards the Shaw’s village.
Everything unfolding seemed to be an uncanny series of coincidences. Damien gripped the steering
wheel, narrowing his eyes as he pondered the circumstances, his mind brimming with suspicion.
Just yesterday, Zachary had met Maeve, and now she had withdrawn the charges against Elvis. The
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMiles siblings had hastily departed from Adania.
Throughout the years, Damien had preferred to remain in the shadows, silently observing and
orchestrating the lives of those around him.
However, this time-
Whether it was the Tanner family or the Miles family, both left him with a sense of unease.
The Miles family, in particular, appeared mysterious, their true intentions obscured.
Damien couldn’t discern what the head of the Miles family sought or Zachary’s true desires.
This feeling of being manipulated left him feeling stifled and powerless.
This marked the first instance in his twenty-six years of life when he had felt this way.
The man firmly clutched the steering wheel.
If it turned out that the head of the Miles family was Cherise’s biological mother, then this potential
mother-in-law of his, whom he had never encountered, was clearly a formidable force.
After more than two hours on the highway, they finally arrived at the Shaw’s village.
To Cherise’s astonishment, the gate to the Shaw Residence was tightly closed.
