After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 The Interrogation
The couple spoke in perfect harmony, their expressions so animated it was hard to tell they were lying.

Isabel pursed her lips and thought to herself that these two were truly experts at pretending. If she weren't here, she might have even believed them.

"Since you lost her, why didn't you call the police?" Isabel asked.

"We did report this, but they never found her," the middle-aged woman sighed as she spoke.

"Ah, poor girl. When we brought her home, we meant to raise her as our daughter. We never thought something like this would happen. How tragic!"

The woman's voice faltered at the end, and she even let a few tears fall, her performance so convincing it could have fooled anyone.

The middle-aged man didn't miss a beat, his face showing deep sorrow.

The group had stopped doubting them, fully believing their words.

"Leslie ... " Richie murmured in a strained voice, his eyes bloodshot.

Isabel glanced at Richie, then turned her attention back to the couple.

"Really? Did you call the police? Well, in that case, why don't we go to the station together and check the records?" Isabel suggested, her voice calm but firm.

As soon as Isabel spoke, the couple's faces drained of color, their expressions frozen in shock.

Xander and Richie, sharp as ever, noticed something off from their faces.

Isabel raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on her lips.

"What's wrong? You don't want to go? Or ... do you have something to hide?"

The couple stared at her, their eyes wide.

For some reason, Isabel's gaze felt like it could pierce right through them, sending a chill down their spines and making goosebumps rise on their skin.

"Tell me! Where is Leslie?!" Richie growled, his voice low and urgent.
