No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) novel Chapter 2086

Elisa cleared her throat, diverting the topic and gesturing towards the interrogation room. She said resignedly, "Sergeant Cordova, I know you're very capable, but shouldn't we first check what's happening inside the interrogation room?"

Ernest coughed twice, then somewhat awkwardly agreed, "Yes."

He probably just regained his composure.

Inside the interrogation room, the man revealed everything without omitting any details.

His name was Baxter, a rural resident. His family was so impoverished that he couldn't afford to get married. Mary from the neighboring village took a liking to him despite his family's inability to provide a dowry, and she was determined to marry him.

For this reason, Mary's family didn't think highly of her.

However, Mary didn't consider it a significant issue.

Baxter was a hardworking and honest man. When he heard that off-farm workers could earn a substantial amount of money, he eagerly set off.

Initially, he struggled to find a well-paying job no matter how hard he tried. The couple soon realized that the outside world was nothing like what the young people who returned home boasted about.

The idea of easily available, simple yet highly paid jobs was simply non-existent.

With New Year's approaching, the couple not only had no savings but were also deeply in debt. They didn't want to return to their hometown in such a state.

Therefore, Baxter and Mary had no choice but to take up a job at a construction site.

It was a project of Benett Corporation's subsidiary company.

Typically, the daily salary for working at a construction site was around three hundred, but there, they were paid five hundred a day. Although the work was more exhausting than other jobs, the higher pay made it worthwhile.

Everything seemed to be going well.

It was at that moment that Mary was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. The treatment required a significant amount of money, with uncertain effectiveness.

"I've let Ms. Benett down. She's truly a good person. But I was threatened, so I had no choice but to do it. My wife is receiving treatment at Spring Grove Hospital, while my child is enrolled at Rayleigh Primary School. That woman told me that my wife and child would be in danger if I didn't comply." Baxter held his head in his hands and began to sob in anguish. "I really had no choice. I didn't want things to turn out like this."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the interrogation room became tense.

There was no doubt that Baxter had made a mistake.

Indeed, his situation was truly pitiful, and he had a valid reason for his actions.

The young policeman was taken aback, unsure of what to say.

Ernest, being experienced, immediately arranged for someone to go to Spring Grove Hospital and Rayleigh Primary School to verify the safety of Baxter's wife and child.

He exchanged a glance with Elisa, then entered the interrogation room.

Seeing the eager expression on Elisa's face, it was evident that she had been waiting for a long time, probably eager to get some answers.
