Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 416

Mrs. Hart didn't give it a second thought. She just pushed Gabriel out the door, urging him to get to the police station and sort things out.

Liliana watched from behind, a slight frown creasing her brow. Something felt off.

The reactions of both her brother and Linton had been strange from the start. It felt like…

They had cooked up a story together, deliberately hiding something.

Liliana couldn't imagine Gabriel calmly hanging out with Linton, much less being in the mood to go street racing with him right before the New Year.

Her eyes glinted as she pursed her lips, an unreadable expression on her delicate, fair face.

At the police station.

After paying the fine, a traffic officer called Gabriel into a separate room to take his statement.

The officer's expression was grim. "Sir, we've just reviewed the surveillance footage."

"The explosion at the intersection… the police's preliminary conclusion is that your vehicle was the target."

The perpetrator had been clever.

They had bought a smart car with autonomous driving capabilities, programmed it in advance, and then exited the vehicle while it was stopped at a red light. From a distance, they remotely steered the car toward the one Gabriel and Linton were in.

The officer pulled up a segment of the footage, pointing to a figure completely bundled up on the screen. "The suspect is a foreigner," he said sternly. "We've checked his identity. He's a criminal who was smuggled into the country a few days ago and is currently wanted in Eldoria."

"We've already shared his information with the authorities in Eldoria and are preparing a joint operation to apprehend him. Sir, we need your cooperation. Please think carefully. Have you ever crossed this man? Or had any dealings with him?"

Gabriel's brow furrowed tightly at the words, and a sardonic smirk played on his lips.

Damian Cooper had played his hand well, hiring a desperate mercenary like this and helping him get into the country to carry out the plan.
