Lina frowned and looked at Zuko. He was looking at her too, and they locked eyes, seemingly understanding what

the other was thinking.

At that moment, the police arrived.

“Are you Ms. Pamela Thompson?” a police officer asked.

Lina was stunned. “I am…”

The police officer said, “After our preliminary investigation, we suspect someone spiked the beverages at the

banquet.”

“Who did it? Did you find out?” Lina asked.

The officer looked at her with a complicated expression. “Ms. Thompson, we received an anonymous tip during our

investigation that you prepared the beverages for the banquet.”

“What? Don’t tell me you suspect me?” Lina was stunned, her mind blank.

“We can’t rule anyone out who is connected to the case until we have solid evidence,” the officer said respectfully,

but his eyes were cold. “Ms. Thompson, please come with us to assist with the investigation.”

Zuko waited at the police station. He couldn’t go in, so he had no idea what was happening. Even though he looked

calm, each second was terribly torturous to him.

Jacob had been waiting there with his legal team. Seeing him like that, he walked over and patted his shoulder.

“They can only release her if they don’t have sufficient evidence. Don’t worry, she’s fine. The police won’t make

things difficult for her.”

Zuko trusted that. With the Thompsons and Hamertons’ power and the accusations being baseless, the police

wouldn’t dare make things difficult for her.

Still, Zuko would be worried as long as he didn’t see Lina.

Jacob checked the time. It had been exactly an hour.

At that moment, a police officer called him over.

After completing the necessary procedures, Lina emerged from behind a door.

She looked okay, but her expression was downcast. Every step she took seemed precarious, like walking on a

knife’s edge, extremely difficult.

“Lina!” Zuko rushed over, ignoring everything else. He hugged her.

Lina felt the familiar warmth from his body, and the comforting embrace almost made her cry. At that moment,

tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

“It’s okay.” Zuko patted her back. “Everything will come to light.”

She nodded. She believed in justice. No matter how convincing the anonymous tip was, she hadn’t done it. The law

would prove her innocence.

The case involved many celebrities, and although the Thompson Group’s PR team had tried their best to minimize

the impact, rumors were rampant outside.

Some overzealous fans criticized the Thompson Group on Facebook. Even some fans with wild imaginations latched

onto the fact that Abigail was unaffected, creating a conspiracy theory that Abigail and the Thompson Group were

involved. It went viral.

In the days following, Lina dared not look at her phone, computer, television, or even answer calls. She practically

locked herself in her room, repeatedly sorting out the doubts surrounding the incident from beginning to end.

However, the people out there were worried that she might be affected mentally.

Nicholas and Linda would take turns waiting outside her room. Nicholas even thought of selling the Thompson

Group right away, just because “This shitty company gave my darling daughter so many troubles, so I don’t want it

anymore!”

“Don’t be impulsive, Uncle Nicholas!” a deep voice came.

Linda quickly grabbed Zuko’s hands as if she had seen her life savior. “I’m so happy that you’re here, Zuko! Go talk

to Pammy. She only listens to you…”

Nicholas cleared his throat to show his unwillingness. The only thing that remained the same on his old face was his

stubbornness since he was young.

Linda rolled her eyes. “Can you grow up? Our son-in-law is here. You’re no longer needed! Go now!”

Nicholas pouted but could only allow his wife to drag him away. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Zuko before

leaving. “If you manage to convince her… I’ll consider letting your dad win at our next fishing trip!”
