Chapter 514 Chloe Becomes a Suspect.
Upon hearing these words, an officer glanced at the pale-faced Chloe and gestured to hist colleague to look for the evidence. After a few minutes of searching, they found the call records between Chloe and Hazel and a notification of the 30 thousand dollar deposit.
“Ms. Chloe, please come with us to the station and give us your statement,” one of the officers requested.
“It wasn’t me. I didn’t do it!” Chloe explained desperately.
Edgar’s voice boomed as he pointed accusingly, “This was you! You were envious of Hazel and feared that she would snatch Mr. Joseph away from you!”
“Shut up!” Joseph roared as he stared coldly at Edgar.
Startled, Edgar trembled and begrudgingly kept his mouth shut.
“Calm down, Mr. Joseph. There’s no need to get so worked up. Or perhaps you’re feeling guilty?” Victor taunted sarcastically.
Ignoring him, Joseph tightly held Chloe’s hand and said to the police, “We would like to call our lawyer.”
“Go ahead, sir,” the officer replied.
Edgar tensed up upon hearing that they were calling a lawyer.
From inside the police car, Chloe asked worriedly, “Do you believe me?”
Joseph gently stroked her head and said, “Yes, I know there’s a misunderstanding. Once we have the recording, everything will become clear.”
“Yeah…” Chloe nodded. As long as they got the recording, it would prove she was not lying.
Samuel and Tyson arrived at the police station at the same time.
Since the incident with Hazel occurred outside of his jurisdiction, Tyson could not officially take charge of the case and had simply come to provide guidance. After hearing about the situation, he felt it was not too serious. He stood up from his chair and said, “Cooperate with the police and give your statement. I’ll talk to them and see if we can get the recording as soon as possible.”
Although he did not have close connections here, he knew a few people.
Samuel also nodded and chimed in, “Since Hazel showed up, it means she was mostly telling the truth. There’s no need to worry too much.”
Joseph lightly tapped the table, his handsome face dark and unreadable. “Haven’t you noticed something strange?”
“What is it?”
“According to Chloe, Hazel asked her for 100 thousand to start a new life away from the
Cottrells, so how did Edgar and Victor know about that?”
Samuel propped his chin, “You’re right. That is suspicious.”
After a while, Tyson returned, his face stern. “There’s nothing on the recording.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Chloe cooperated with the police and gave a statement but was not immediately released. She had to anxiously wait in the dim interrogation room.
Ten minutes later, an officer walked in, holding a recording pen in his hand, “Does this recording pen found on Hazel have any connection to you?”
“Yes,” Chloe replied truthfully.
“What kind of connection?”
Chloe froze. “What’s the matter? What happened?”
Looking at her, the police officer replied, “There’s nothing on it.”
Chloe was stunned. “That’s not possible.”
“It’s true.” The officer placed the recording pen in front of her. “You can listen to it yourself.”
Samuel, acting as Chloe’s lawyer, exited the interrogation room and shook his head at Joseph, “Chloe is being held as a suspect. The police won’t release her for now.”
Meanwhile, Edgar approached them, his voice dripping with venom as he said, “If the Whitman Group doesn’t terminate the contract they have with me, I’ll help get her out.”
