Chapter 421 Let’s Move Out (1/2)

”I doubt it,” Billy replied regardless of Zed's identity. ”As far as I know, Mrs. Qi holds grudges against Shirley Wen. Although they are sisters, they don't get along well, right? I suppose you and your wife didn't plan to save Shirley which is why you didn't call the police immediately after what happened.”

”This way, please,” Zed said and walked towards the sitting room. Ian followed his lead.

Zed asked Zelda to prepare two cups of coffee, and then he turned to face Ian. ”Chief, thank you for coming all
