Lin's shock slowly twisted into something darker.
His lips curled, and despite the situation slipping out of his control, a crooked smile formed on his face.
"So… if you are Edward's son… then you are definitely behind Kyle's disappearance."
His eyes sharpened, almost gleaming.
"You are dead now. The Mordecais will never leave you alone."
Miles looked at him for a moment, then exhaled softly, as if disappointed.
"What a fool you are."
He leaned slightly forward, his gaze steady and cold.
"Just because someone has money does not mean they have authority."
His voice hardened.
"You are a Chief of Police. Not a servant who licks the boots of the Mordecai family."
Lin let out a dry laugh, shaking his head.
"Does it even matter? You do not have real authority. And very soon… you will not have that money either."
Miles closed his eyes briefly, as if the conversation had already gone on longer than it deserved.
"Enough."
He pressed a button on his desk.
