Chapter 275 He Will Not Let Them Off Easily.

Theodore gazed at the scenery outside the window. His smirk stayed on his face for quite a long time, and his gaze was chilling.

There was no fury in his heart, only sadness and remorse. If he spent more time on the investigation, things might not have escalated like this. 

Josephine went home with a heavy heart. Upon seeing her, Jefferson rose up from his seat and asked, his eyes shimmering with hope, "How did it go? What did Theodore say?"

Her face stiffened and she looked at her father in a daze. She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t find her words. 

She couldn’t bring herself to admit all that she had done in the past to her father. 

When he saw her expression, he was disappointed, "You failed."

She lowered her head and burst into tears. Her crying eventually escalated into loud sobs. Finally, she crouched on the ground and said, "Dad, don't ask anymore. Theodore won't let us go."
