Chapter 1164

"Let's wait for Darren to come out, and I'll ask him about the situation before we head out," Josefina suggested, her voice steady with determination.

Oliver knew better than to argue. When Josefina had her mind set on something, it was best to follow her lead.

Soon enough, Darren emerged from the building. "You heard what Blackie said, right? Seems like he's telling the truth. We'll interrogate him again to get the full picture," Darren explained, his tone serious.

Josefina nodded, "Darren, with everything Blackie's confessed, what's your plan going forward?"

"We're going to search the locations he mentioned. Anything connected to the warehouse and the lab is getting a thorough investigation. We won't let any bad guys slip through the cracks!" Darren declared, determination etched in his features. Oliver chimed in, "Did Blackie happen to see the boss behind it all?"

Darren shook his head, "No, he was just the delivery guy. He never got close to the big boss." Josefina understood. Someone in Blackie's position wouldn't have access to the higher-ups. If he was a key player, he'd either be in custody or silenced by

now.

"But he did give us a location," Darren continued, "I've already sent a team to check it out."

"Mind sharing that with us?" Oliver asked.

Darren hesitated for a moment but then decided it was best to collaborate. The more people involved, the quicker they could solve this mess. He shared the details with Oliver and Josefina.

With the information in hand, Oliver and Josefina left together.

...

In the car, as they drove away, Josefina suggested, "Let's go check out that place ourselves."

Oliver, ever the voice of reason, disagreed, "Josie, I've already sent Tori and the team to handle it. Your job right now is to eat, rest, and not worry about a thing. Can you do that for me?"

Josefina sighed, knowing he was right, but still felt a twinge of frustration. "These folks barely leave a trail. Based on what we've got, we won't uncover much." She leaned against Oliver's shoulder seeking Comfort He wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer to let her relax.

Meanwhile, Calix was back home, anxiously waiting after hearing about the fugitive incident at the fan meet. Once he knew Josefina was safe with Oliver, he called her relieved to hear her voice

As soon as Josefina stepped through the door, Hattie rushed over, grasping her hands and guiding her to the couch.

"Josie, why on earth did you go to the police station? It's dangerous with fugitives around. You should steer clear," Hattie fretted, her concern palpable.

"Mom, I'm fine. Oliver was with me, he's got my back," Josefina reassured her, giving Oliver a grateful glance.

Oliver grinned, walking over, "Mom's right, Josie. We should steer clear of these kinds of situations in the future."

Josefina blinked, slightly taken aback. She had hoped Oliver would back her up for future involvement, but here he was, siding with caution. She shot him a look, silently conveying her displeasure.

Turning back to Hattie with a smile, she said, "Mom, I promise I know my limits. Safety first, always."

"That's all we need to hear, Josie. We just worry about you. Let the guys handle the messy stuff. You just focus on being happy," Hattie advised, her voice gentle.

Calix nodded in agreement, "Exactly, leave the hard work to Oliver."

Oliver chuckled, accepting their words with a nod, understanding the concern behind them.
