My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 428:

If Daxton had said this to her before, Carrie might not have thought twice about it. But now, knowing he was her

nephew, his words carried an unexpected weight, delivered in a tone better suited for comforting a child than

praising an adult.

Her thoughts shifted to Kristopher, who, with his razor-sharp critiques, could leave anyone feeling stripped to

their core. He had a way of making others doubt themselves. Yet, when it cto compliments, Kristopher was

as awkward as a fish on dry land.

Daxton, on the other hand, seemed to embody sunshine after a downpour. He had an uncanny ability to see the

silver lining in every storm cloud, spreading positivity and guiding people toward brighter horizons.

Kristopher was like a thorny rose—beauty wrapped in barbs, pricking you before you could admire its softness.

Daxton, however, was a candle in the darkness, casting light and warmth no matter where he stood.

As their conversation unfolded, they arrived at the door of an interrogation room. A police officer approached

and asked, “Are you Ms.

“Campbell?”

Carrie nodded, her curiosity drawing her gaze toward the room. To her astonishment, she spotted the sleazy man

who had once signed the raw material supply contract with her company sitting inside.

The officer clarified, “He’s under suspicion for kidnapping.”

Daxton took over, explaining smoothly, “I cacross him on the road and noticed someone tied up in the back

seat of his car. At first, | didn’t realize it was your stepmother’s daughter. | called the police right away.” Pausing

briefly, he added, “Even if | had known, | still would have reported it. No matter what someone's done, it's up to

the law to determine their fate.”

The officer gave a nod of approval. “You have a strong moral compass, Mr. Daxton. A lot of what we see online

these days glorifies vigilante justice, but the law must always be the final arbiter.”

Daxton smiled gently. “I've always been a firm believer in following the law.”

Standing off to the side, Daxton’s assistant remained silent, his admiration barely concealed. How Daxton, with

his bloodstained history, could make such a claim without flinching in front of the police was a marvel in itself.

Then again, as a citizen of Mothor, adhering to its laws was a sort of twisted truth in itself.

Carrie arched an eyebrow, her surprise evident. “How is Yara now?”

The officer's tone grew serious. “The victim is mostly unharmed—just shaken, with a few minor injuries. She’s

resting in another room while our officers speak with her. We brought you here because this case connects to

another one—Nate’s kidnapping of you. We need your help with the investigation.”

Carrie nodded thoughtfully. “Thank you for the effort you're putting in.”

The officer offered a small, earnest smile. “It’s just part of the job.”

After she gave her statement, the officer escorted Carrie to the door and let out a quiet sigh. “Ms. Campbell, we

appreciate your cooperation. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough evidence to directly implicate Yara. Charges may

not be filed against her.”

Carrie, ever hopeful, replied, “She’s had her fair share of misfortune lately. Maybe this is just life evening the

scales. | believe justice finds its way—what goes around comes around.”

The officer nodded, clearly impressed. “That's a commendable outlook. Rest assured, if Yara is involved, we'll

uncover the evidence. We won't wrongfully accuse anyone, but we won't let the guilty slip away either.”
