Chapter 734

Anastasia was dealing with her work in the villa. After signing the document, a strong sense of
uneasiness crept into her heart. If Elliot’s possession in the hospital remained unfound, there would be
nightmares awaiting her.

It was no joking matter either seeing that she had a perturbing dream previously that felt almost too
realistic. If her son was to have another two half-siblings out of the blue, it was undeniable that the
impact inflicted on him would be big as they were two additional lives to deal with.

Just who on earth will do such a thing? It’s not a coincidence for sure. Someone must be scheming it
for a long time.

Elliot was waiting for the results from the initial investigation at the police station. It was 3.00PM when
he entered the meeting room in which Roy Barlowe, the leader of the investigation team, poured him a
cup of coffee before starting to lay out the analysis of the suspects.

“Mr. Presgrave, this is a really important case for us. It has become more serious in light of your status
and wealth.”

Elliot stared at the list of suspects displayed on the screen, which had included their social network as
well.

“We believe that it’s not something done out of impulsivity. The thief is very well-informed of your family
and Presgrave Hospital. We’ve even come to a conclusion where pregnancy is the suspect’s
objectives. The suspect wants to bear your child to be one of the future heirs.” Roy gave a detailed
breakdown.

“These six people are the suspects for now. They belong to the upper echelons in the hospital who
have considerable authority to set the plan into motion with ease. Is there anyone that appears
suspicious to you, Mr. Presgrave?”



Elliot shook his head lightly. “I rarely take part in the management of the hospital, so I don’t know much
about them.”

His job was only to check the hospital’s income from the annual reports. As of the management, the
current director was in charge of it.

“Based on the information we have, their network is kinda complicated and there’s nothing off about
their bank statement. Since their annual income is high, they don’t have any problem with money. Of
course, we’re still digging into other aspects.”

Elliot looked at the screen as Roy swiped the pictures one by one. Suddenly, something caught his
attention. “Please zoom in into the third picture.”

Almost immediately, Roy did as he was told. From the corner of the screen, one could see a suspicious
figure walking across the corridor. The person took a few peeks of the surroundings before leaving.

“He’s Shawn Elrod, the director. His network is quite large. Do you know him, Mr. Presgrave?”

“He’s the assistant director’s cousin. I’ve seen him a few times during meetings. Please show me every
footage and picture you have of him,” requested Elliot as he thought of something.

The other officers took actions and sifted through the pictures and footage to pick out everything that
had caught Shawn in it. Roy took a sip of coffee while looking at the screen before he turned to Elliot in
surprise at the very second.

He wondered if Elliot had served in the military before. Otherwise, how could he sense that something
was off about Shawn at first glance when there were so many other suspects?

At that moment, Shawn’s actions became questionable in the footage. While he was calling for help to
put out the fire, he was evacuating at the same time. He was not genuinely concerned about the fire. In



fact, it was all just a show.
