Chapter 391 Skin Grafting Surgery
“Chief Hopkins, you know who I am. Can’t you make an exception?”
Timothy looked troubled, his brows furrowing as he muttered, “Mr. Stevens, this isn’t appropriate.”
Callum hadn’t expected Timothy to be so stubborn. He was about to say something when Xander
stopped him.
Xander remained unbothered, and he spoke calmly. He carried himself like a true leader. “Let’s meet
the police officer handling the case first.”
Callum’s irritation instantly diminished. “Alright.”
The contrast in his behavior before and after was so stark that Timothy, who was standing nearby, was
left dumbfounded. He was more curious about Xander’s identity now.
Hence,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis attitude toward Xander improved. “Mr. Fulton, this way, please.”
They entered the police station. When they walked into the office, a uniformed officer was already
waiting.
“Mr. Fulton, Mr. Stevens, this is Officer James Anderson,” Timothy introduced.
“Officer Anderson, this is Mr. Stevens. You can discuss the details of the case with him.”
James saluted formally. Timothy found an excuse to leave as they sat down, giving them space.
Once Timothy had left, James said, “The chief mentioned you want to know about a car accident that
happened five years ago?”
“Officer Anderson, this case is very important to us. Please share everything you know.”
James smiled and explained, “This case caused quite a stir then, so I remember it well. Before you
arrived, I had reviewed the case file again.
“It was a major traffic accident. Two cars collided, and the fuel tanks exploded, causing a fire. Three
people died at the scene, and two were seriously injured.
“The severity of this accident wasn’t due to the collision itself but to the fire it caused. Both survivors
suffered severe injuries.
“Ms. Jessica Landon was one of them. She had varying degrees of burns on her face and back.”
Grace was puzzled upon hearing this. She hadn’t noticed any scars on Jessica’s body during her two
encounters with her, at least not on her face.
Jessica didn’t look like a burn victim.

Grace’s suspicions grew deeper.
“Is it possible that a burn victim looks no different to the naked eye after recovery?”
James understood what she was implying and said, “You must be referring to Ms. Jessica. I met her a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhile ago, and it seems that her skin grafting surgery was very successful.”
“Skin grafting surgery?”
“Yes, burn victims often suffer deep emotional trauma. To mend this, they usually choose cosmetic
reconstruction or skin grafting surgery to restore their appearance.”
So Jessica had undergone plastic surgery.
But even if someone had plastic surgery to change their appearance, certain things would remain the
same, like a person’s habits, mannerisms, or work style.
Maybe Xander’s assumption wasn’t wrong, and the person they’re dealing with wasn’t the real
Jessica.
So where was the real Jessica?
“There were two survivors in the accident, one being Ms. Jessica, the heiress of Landon Group, the
person you specifically came to inquire about today.”
