In the police station.
Bonnie was initially a state witness to accuse Armand, but she changed sides and put the blame on the Steward
Group.
It was a big case, so the police informed Stella to come to the station for an investigation.
Bonnie was sitting on the couch when Stella arrived at the station. Bonnie was holding a cup, and she looked
nervous and scared.
Anyone would think Stella threatened Bonnie based on Bonnie’s reaction.
Stella smiled at Bonnie when she saw her, “We’ve met again, Ms. Derrick.”
Bonnie replied nervously, “Ms. Redomil, I…I didn’t complete what you asked me to. I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault.
Don’t put the blame on my family…”
Some reporters stayed behind, so they’ve heard what Bonnie said.
Stella said, “Tell me, what did I ask you to do?”
“I…” Bonnie bit her lips, “It’s my fault, but my reputation is at stake. I didn’t know you’ve invited the reporters here
to trigger public pressure on the case. It’ll destroy me if I do as you said.”
What Bonnie meant was: She came to accuse Armand according to Stella’s order, but Stella got the reporters here,
hoping to make the case a big deal and destroy Armand, without informing her. Stella didn’t care what the case
would do to Bonnie at all. So, Bonnie fought for her right and chose to tell the truth to maintain her reputation.
Stella sat on the couch opposite Bonnie, “I didn’t realize you’re so good at acting.”
“Yes, it’s all my fault. I will not deny anything no matter what you say.”
Stella told Bonnie, “Ms. Derrick, this is the police station. You’re going to be held responsible for your words.”
Bonnie said, “I…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella took out her phone and told the police beside her, “I have a voice clip in it. It is my comment in the case.”
Bonnie’s face went pale after hearing what Stella said.
The voice clip revealed the content of the phone call between Stella and Bonnie that day.
The content included how Bonnie wanted to lodge a police report and contact the media and reporters on the case.
It also included how Stella said she’d help Bonnie and that they were going to send Armand into jail for good.
All reporters who stayed behind stared at Bonnie in a doubtful look after listening to the voice clip.
Bonnie was stunned a little before she continued, “This is the reason why you made me said those things the other
day?”
Then, Bonnie turned to the polices, “No, this is not how it seemed. She…She gave me the speech and asked me to
read it out loud. It is an edited voice clip.”
Stella kept her phone away and continued, “Mr. Shawn was there when I went to see her. He can prove that the
voice clip wasn’t edited.”
A female reporter asked, “You meant Mr. Donald Shawn?”
Donald didn’t seem to be reliable, but he was a famous lawyer in the industry.
Bonnie suddenly stood up, “Donald is the legal advisor of the Steward Group. They’re on the same side. Of course,
he’d stand up for you.”
The female reporter refuted, “Mr. Shawn wouldn’t do that.”
Soon, Donald was asked to come down to the police station.
He learned about what happened earlier. Then, he took out another voice clip.
It was the conversation between Christian and them on that day, including the call between Christian and Armand.
Bonnie want to say something else after listening to the voice clip. The female reporter couldn’t stand Bonnie
anymore. She said, “Stop quibbling. That’s the evidence. Do you think we’re dumb?”
Bonnie’s face was pale. She opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say anymore.
The result of the case was obvious.
After getting out of the police station, the female reporter told Stella, “I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding earlier.
Don’t worry, I will write another article to clarify the whole thing. Could you send me a copy of the voice clip?”
“Of course.”
The female reporter returned Stella’s phone to her after sending the copy of the voice clip into her phone. Then,
she handed Stella a name card, “You can call me Daphne Aldrich. I’m a reporter from City N Press. Call me if you
need anything.”
Stella took the name card and said, “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome. This is my job,” Daphne took her bag and waved at Donald, “Goodbye, Mr. Shawn.”
Donald stared at Daphne’s back and raised his brows, “She knew me?”
Stella remembered how Daphne stood up for Donald in the police station earlier. She smiled and said, “Who knows?
She might be one of your fans.”
Donald flipped his hair, “Well, it proves that other than playing the guitars, being handsome can also attract fans.”
Stella felt speechless.
When they were walking away from the police station, Donald asked, “I recorded because of my habit in my job.
Why would you do that?”
“Perhaps it was because I always face troubles like these.”
In fact, Stella felt there was something wrong with the whole thing from the start. The company and Christian didn’t
felt right at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, Stella remained cautious and recorded the conversation between Bonnie and her. She didn’t expect it would
come into use one day.
Donald said, “Good job. I regretted that I didn’t remind you before I came to the station. I didn’t know you could be
so far-sighted.”
“A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit,” Stella stopped, “Oh, have you gotten any clues on the people who helped
Logan?”
Donald shook his head, “I haven’t gotten any clues yet. They are pretty well-hidden, but…”
“What?”
“Clarence is investigating in Riverside City. He even sent Vincent over. I’m guessing those people are probably from
Riverside City.”
Stella frowned, “Riverside City?”
“The clues of what happened recently led to Riverside City. They’re the prime suspect.”
Stella said, “I agree with you. It should be them. If they were from Riverside City, what’s their motive?”
Donald shrugged his shoulder, “I’m not sure. I’ve heard Nathan said that Clarence is going to Riverside City soon.
Maybe the answer would come out by then.”
At the same time, Samuel rushed over, “Ms. Redomil, Madison called earlier. She said that Noah vomited, and he
got admitted into the hospital.”
Stella was stunned for a second. Then, she quickly got into the car.
Donald followed her as well.
Stella found Madison in front of the emergency ward when she arrived at the hospital. Stella tried to calm herself
down, but her voice was shaking, “How’s Noah?”
Madison shook her head, “I don’t know… I didn’t give him anything. Everything was normal except that he’s been
vomiting since he woke up from a nap.”
