Chapter 79
She didn’t dare to openly state her purpose for coming to the police station, fearing that her brother and grandma would stop her. So, she swiftly skirted past them and walked into the station, loudly asking
“Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me if a man and woman were arrested today for prostitution at the Blanchet Hotel?”
The cop looked up at her and responded truthfully, “Yeah, that happened What’s up?”
Veronica then asked, “Can I see the woman who was arrested? I think I might know her!”
She just couldn’t understand. The woman who was supposed to be arrested was Ellinor, yet Ellinor was able to return home safe and sound?
So, she had to confirm it, to see with her own eyes that the woman was not Ellinor to be relieved.
However, the cop shook his head, “Sorry, the woman in question managed to escape during detention. Our colleagues are still hot on her trail!”
Upon hearing the cop’s words, Veronica had an epiphany!
Her eyes sparkled brightly as she declared, “I want to make a report! I know where that woman is!”
The cop looked surprised, “Are you sure? You should know this isn’t a joke!”
Without uttering another word, Veronica turned around and dragged Ellinor in front of the cop, unabashedly declaring, “Officer, this is her! Take a good look at her. Doesn’t she look like the woman who escaped?”
Caught off guard, Marissa quickly scolded, “Veronical What are you doing?”
Unfazed, Veronica replied, “Don’t worry grandma, you’ll know the truth soon enough!”
The cop looked a bit startled, sizing up Ellinor, “Uh… I wasn’t part of the operation today, so I haven’t seen the suspect in person. But, she does look a lot like the woman described in the reports from my colleagues. Same clothes, similar height, and build…”
Veronica grinned triumphantly, confidently stating, “Officer, you can drop your doubts. Go ahead and arrest her! I can guarantee that the woman who escaped is right here before you All those things she “accidentally” lost were just a smokescreen to divert suspicion!”
The cop fell into deep thought
Theo walked up steadily, looking at his sister and sternly said, “Haven’t you caused enough trouble at home?”
At this point, Veronica had complete confidence, “Bro, I’m just stating facts! I want you to see Ellinor for who she truly is. Don’t let this sly fox fool you anymore!”
Theo remained calm, quietly telling Collin, “Collin, take her home.”
“Alright, Mr Blanchet.” Collin immediately set into action….
However, Veronica quickly hid behind the cop, “I don’t want to go home! Not until Ellinor faces the law!”
Theo signaled Collin with his eyes to handle Veronica
Not planning to stay any longer, Theo patted Ellinor’s shoulder, ready to take her away
Unexpectedly, the cop quickly followed, standing in their way and sternly saying, “Sir, wait a moment! She can’t leave!”
Theo’s eyes darkened, “Why can’t she leave?”
The cop’s gaze was fixed on Ellinor, growing more suspicious by the second. “Ellinor needs to stay here to cooperate with our investigation. We just received an on–site report, and I need to verify if the report is true, so she can’t leave for now.”
Seeing this, Veronica was even more convinced, “Bro, see! The cop said he needs to verify things, which means even they think Ellinor is suspicious!”
Theo squinted his eyes, turning to look at Ellinor…
