Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 171

"Where you off to?" Max called after me, his voice trailing behind me as I stormed away.

I yelled without looking back, "I'm going to the police station to spill all the dirt on Tracey. Let's see how you protect her after I tell them everything she's done, from arson to murder!"

But this time, Max didn't follow. So, I went and found Ronald.

Ronald looked a bit surprised to see me but quickly composed himself. "What brings you here?"

"I need to check some case files," I said, trying to sound more in control than I felt.

Ronald hesitated but eventually led me to start the paperwork.

"Are these all the recent cases of burned bodies?" I frowned, looking through a stack of case files.

Ronald put his hands on his hips and nodded. "Yes, all recent. All the victims were pregnant women. It's been tough to get fingerprints or DNA, and even when we find the victims’ families, they refuse to identify them."

I chuckled dryly, my eyes landing on the name May. I felt like I had seen that name before.

Wasn't there a girl named May adopted from the orphanage? I just can't remember if her last name was Goodwin.

Flipping through more files, I noticed all the girls had adoption records.

"Ronald, it seems they were all adopted girls. Can you check which orphanages they were from?" I grabbed Ronald's sleeve, excitement in my voice.

But Ronald seemed to have already known. And he wouldn't look at me, turning his face away.

"Have you already checked their adoption records and found nothing?" I pressed.
