Chapter 1030
Sure enough, several stern, burly cops walked in. Two of them cuffed Haillie first, while the rest helped Patricia up from the floor, preparing to
cuff her too.
This made Patricia snap back to reality, shaking off the handcuffs that were about to be placed on her wrists. She objected loudly, “Why are you arresting me?”
The lead cop said, “Ms. Howard, you’re suspected of inciting murder. We need you to come with us to the station for questioning.”
Patricia scoffed, “Inciting murder? Do you have evidence? Did Ellinor call you guys to arrest me? She’s just making baseless accusations. Why should I go to the station with you?”
The cop kept a stern face and firmly said, “Ms. Mendoza provided us with solid evidence. From the recording she gave us, we clearly heard you inciting Haillie to commit murder. So, you must come with us for questioning.”
Patricia was stunned again, but she didn’t believe it one bit. “What recording? Where did this recording come from?”
She was sure she had destroyed all the recordings.
Where did Ellinor get this one from?
Seeing her uncooperative attitude, the cop pulled out a small player and played the recording for Patricia.
The player played a conversation between Patricia and Haillie, unedited.
Patricia was completely taken aback. How could this be?
How did the stuff she deleted reappear?
Patricia glared at Ellinor resentfully, “You did this, but how could you possibly…”
Ellinor gave a slight smile. To her, this was just a small matter.
Patricia did delete the true recording, but Ellinor used technical means to restore it and handed it over to the police.
Patricia had nothing to say and was taken away by the police with Haillie.
As she was being led away, Patricia stubbornly stopped in her tracks and glared fiercely at Ellinor. Despite the cops attempts to drag her away, she refused to budge.
Facing Patricia, Ellinor just smiled, “Do you want to ask me how the phone just went through my body just now?”
Patricia frowned, gritting her teeth. She was already extremely annoyed with Ellinor, and now she felt even more uncomfortable for being seen through.
Ellinor laughed again, “Ms. Howard, you’re always busy planning this and that, but you don’t have time to keep up with the latest technological advancements. You’re a bit behind. Have you even seen a holographic projection?”
“You…” Patricia was so angry that she was about to explode.
Ellinor was too cunning. She would actually use technology to deceive people; it was simply too despicable!
The cops were out of patience. They didn’t care whether she was willing to cooperate anymore and forcibly took Patricia away.
