Miranda nodded with a smile. "I''ve seen it all."


    The officer chuckled, and then leaned closer to her, whispering, "The higher-ups have been notified. Your record from those two years has been wiped clean. But it was our mistake too. If you need anything in the future, just let us know."


    Miranda gave a slight nod. "Thanks. For anything else, you can talk to mywyer. He''s handling everything on my behalf."


    During the two unjust years Miranda spent behind bars, not only did the Hawke family get caught, but many others affiliated with them were rounded up as well.


    The deeper evidence was handed to her by Elian. Even with Maximus''s prowess, it would have been tough to uncover those details. But Elian managed to get them effortlessly.


    "Understood, you can rest assured. With the current evidence, there shouldn''t be any more issues."


    Miranda acknowledged with a soft hum.


    "Mr. Elian Ashcroft is waiting for you outside," the officer said with a smile, gesturing to show her the way. Soon, other officers came over to escort her out.


    When Miranda returned to the reception area, she found Elian sitting on a couch, eyes closed, seemingly resting.


    Next to him, Maximus was sipping coffee and flipping through some documents. Seeing her return, Maximus promptly stood up.


    "You''re back."


    Elian opened his eyes slowly, his gaze settling on Miranda''s face.


    Miranda exchanged a few words with Maximus. "I''ve exined everything here,


    just coordinate with them directly."


    Maximus nodded. "Don''t worry, I''ve got this."


    Whether it was safeguarding Miranda''s interests or prosecuting the Hawke family, Maximus was fully prepared. He had calcted the prison terms for each of them. No surprises were expected.


    After a few more words with Maximus, he left to liaise with the police. Miranda was now free to leave.


    As she turned her attention back, her eyes met Elian''s. He was sitting there, looking at her with warmth in his eyes and a gentle smile on his lips.


    He uncrossed his long legs, stood up slowly, and approached her.


    "All sorted?" he asked, bending slightly to speak to her at eye level, a gesture filled with affection.


    Elian was at least 6 feet 1, towering over Miranda, but she realized that whenever he spoke to her, he made a point to speak at her eye level, not making her look up.


    But this guy. Whenever he appeared in front of others, he exuded an air of superiority, rarely lowering his gaze to meet theirs.


    She answered truthfully, "All sorted."


    Regarding this matter, everything about the original Miranda''s past was indeed settled.


    Elian''s smile broadened as he heard this. Sunlight streamed in, casting a warm glow on him. In that moment, he seemed like a beacon of light, the


    darkness and mischievousness that usually surrounded him vanished.


    "Then let me take you home," he said.


    His words made her feel as though the sunlight was shining on her too,


    enveloping her in warmth.


    She didn''t refuse. Together with Elian, she left the precinct.


    In fact, Lavinia had wanted toe with her today. But Miranda didn''t want to trouble her godmother with her own problems.


    Lavinia had even lined up a team ofwyers, ready to bury the Hawke family under legal battles.
