Chapter 366 Death Notice

“Warden! Hasn’t my dad posted bail for me yet?”

Nadine clung to the bars, trying to lean out as far as she could.

The iron door was heavy, and the rust on it gave off a rotten stench that made her head throb..

Her mind felt tight, but she still shouted at Leopold with all her strength.

This time, Leopold didn’t sneer at her like usual or brush her off. His face was calm, almost like he was delivering a death notice that had nothing to do with him. “The Embers won’t be posting your bail.”

His voice faded along with his footsteps, leaving silence in their wake.

Nadine froze.

What did he mean, the Embers won’t be posting my bail?

She was Henry’s daughter. How could Henry not come for her? She was still so young–if she stayed locked up without bail, she’d end up with a criminal record.

Panic clawed at her chest. But she couldn’t reach Henry, so all she could do was wait helplessly in her cell.

“Warden.”

A man stepped forward respectfully, handing the “warden” a folder.

The “warden” paused, then took it without a word.

At the far end of the hall, the warden’s cold gaze slid toward Nadine’s cell, where her screams rattled the walls.

She lifted her chin. From under the brim of her cap, her sharp eyes gleamed.

Tess adjusted her gloves and pressed the cap lower, hiding her delicate face back into shadow. Abel, however, couldn’t look away. His eyes lit up at the sight of Tess in her uniform. Her waist looked even slimmer, cinched in by the duty belt.

He blinked, forcing himself back to reality, but his smile still lingered as he stared at her.

“So… role–playing as a cop, huh?”

When Nadine was out of sight, Abel leaned close, bumping her shoulder with a teasing grin.

A pale hand shot out and twisted his car.

“Hey! Tess!”

Red rushed up his neck. Abel covered his face, sneaking a glance around to make sure no one

saw.

Luckily, the station was unusually quiet tonight. They’d made sure of it before coming.

Abel pouted, still leaning against her. He muttered, “If anyone saw that, my reputation would be ruined.”

Tess smiled faintly. “I could call them in.”

Abel straightened at once. “No need for that.”

Her lips twitched at his sudden serious act, though she quickly forced them down.

She cleared her throat, putting her stern warden mask back on. “Let’s get to the interrogation room.”

Abel didn’t argue. He strode ahead with his long legs, but paused now and then to let her catch

He even made sure Tess walked in first. But just as he was about to follow, he stopped for a second.

His gaze flicked to a corner of the ceiling.

Making sure Tess couldn’t see, the playful light in his eyes vanished. They sharpened, cold and challenging.

He raised a brow toward the hidden camera, then stepped inside with a faint, unreadable smirk.

At that same moment, Finn sat in the CEO’s office of Lock Tower, eyes locked on the live feed. His fingers tightened against the desk.

Abel…

“Mr. Lock, about Mr. Shaw … ” Zane asked carefully.
