Chapter 398
The next day, Mia headed straight to school to review her lessons. But shortly after, her phone rang.
Hello, is this Mia Bowen? This is the police department. We’ve got some questions for you regarding
the
crimes of Felix Quilter, the owner of Elite Studio. Please come over when you’re free.”
After hanging up, Mia pondered over the call. What could the police possibly want from her?
She was merely a part–timer at Felix’s studio, without any perks like insurance or retirement benefits.
Was Felix and Janice trying to frame her?
After some thought, Mia called a cab and made her way there. Once she arrived, the police began their
interrogation. “What’s your connection to Felix Quilter?”
“We were classmates, and later I worked part–time at his studio.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Part–time? According to Felix and some colleagues, you and Felix were romantically involved. And the
studio used your name for financing. Any truth to that?” the police questioned.
Mia felt speechless. “I had no clue about any of this.”
“Mia, if we’ve called you in, it means we’ve got evidence. Denials won’t get you far,” warned the police.
Mia answered seriously, “I’ve already said that Felix acted without my knowledge, and I plan to report it.
His actions are against the law, right? Besides my salary, I didn’t receive any extra benefits. You can
verify that.”
“However, our investigation shows you recently purchased a house and paid off millions in loans. Given
your income, where did you get all that money? Felix confessed that he gave you the money
unofficially.”
the police pressed on.
Mia felt a chill. Felix must have investigated her after their encounter at the bank. No wonder his
attitude
changed afterward. He probably knew about her mortgage repayment.
He must have already been in debt then which explained why he was pursuing her out of the blue. So
he
was in it for the money.
Claude was right. Felix was not a good man.
Mia recollected herself calmly. “My brother gave me that money.”
“You’re an orphan. Where did this brother come from?” asked the police.
Just then, a man’s cold voice came from behind her. “She also has a cousin.”
Mia tensed as she turned to see Timothy. Surprise flickered in her eyes. Why was he here?
With Timothy’s arrival, his lawyer stepped forward with documents to handle the situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMia was led aside, and she whispered, “What are you doing here?”
Timothy’s gaze dropped. “Felix told the police I kidnapped and assaulted him. He also told my lawyer
that if I didn’t want him pressing charges, I had to get him out.”
Mia gritted her teeth. “That ungrateful bastard.”
“Now you see the repercussions of getting involved with a wolf?” Timothy chided.
She lifted her head. “Didn’t you say Felix wouldn’t find any evidence?”
“There wasn’t any at first. But once you gave your testimony, and the police discovered we’re married,
a case was built,” Timothy explained.
Mia choked. “I could tell the police it was all a lie.”
“Forget it, stay silent. I’m afraid you might make things worse for me!” Timothy looked down at her
condescendingly. “From now on, my lawyer will handle both these cases. Don’t intervene.”
All of a sudden, a man’s cold voice sounded from beside them. “Sorry, but Mia has her own lawyer!”
