Chapter 24: A Lead
Jules' pov
I had been half asleep when I accepted the call but after what Andrian said settled in my mind, I was snapping awake at once, eyes wide as I gripped the phone tightly.
"W- what?" I whispered in shock, mind reeling. Andrian let out a hooting sound, like he was proud of himself right now.
"You heard me." He drawled out and I found myself sitting up even more.
"What does that mean?" I asked after a few seconds.
"You know I said I wasn't gonna rest until the people behind your family's murder are brought to justice. My team and I had been working non stop. We had no idea this particular lead we picked up could ever lead to something like this." He breathed out and I felt my heart clenching hard at the thought of Andrian actually working on this particular issue like he had promised to, when I had initially thought that the entire thing was gonna be on my shoulders.
I felt my eyes start to sting but I hurried to blink the moisture away at once.
"T- that's great news then. Did you say his son goes to this school?" I asked and Andrian responded almost immediately.
"Yup. We made our research properly on this particular topic. Imagine how shocked we were when we realized that the suspect's son goes to your new school!"
