"There is no progress in the case for the time being. Today is Chloe's 18th birthday. I'll go back and give her the gift now. It won't take me long. I told the lab to call me at any time when the result comes out. And I'll be there as soon as possible."
I froze on the spot. I couldn't believe that my brother would put aside the case for Chloe's birthday.
He used to be a perfect policeman in my heart, just like my father.
He couldn't even sleep well until he investigated the case thoroughly.
When I was a child, I admired my father the most. I was even determined to be a good policeman after I grew up.
But after finding out who I really was, I completely lost this opportunity.
Xavier mocked me and ripped open my old wounds without mercy.
"You don't deserve to be a policeman. Even if you die, your body will contaminate the air!"
He was proud of his profession, but now he had to give up investigating the case for the murderer who killed me!
I felt nauseous and retched. Tears welled up in my eyes.
I didn't expect that he would give up his principles for his sister one day.
Would he change his mind if he found out that Chloe was not his biological sister but the daughter of a perverted murderer and also a murderer?
If she was really his biological sister, I was fine with that.
But who did she think she was?
Xavier drove all the way home. He opened the door to see Chloe lying on the sofa watching a TV series.
When she saw him, she rushed over in surprise and hugged him.
"Xavier, I knew you would definitely come back to celebrate my birthday!"
He handed her the shopping bag and looked embarrassed.
"Sorry, I didn't have time to buy you a cake. I'll make up for it after this case is over."
"Happy birthday, Chloe. You're 18 now!"
He stood at the door and sincerely gave his blessings to the murderer who had killed me.
The sense of powerlessness and despair crashed over me.
At this time, Xavier's cell phone rang.
He answered it impatiently. It turned out to be my boss. I had worked part-time in his shop.
"Hello, is it Harper's family? She works part-time here, but she's nowhere to be seen today. My shop remained closed for a whole day! What's going on? Did something happen to her?"
Xavier took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "She has nothing to do with me! She's not my family! She must hang out with the murderer. Don't ask me about her again!"
