Chapter 1198 Taking Sister Out "We have evidence that you leaked information about the ‘Sacred Pearl’ to 717 insiders," Selena Mann said in a low voice. "It wasn't me," she added.
"Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?" she was asked.
"No," Selena replied.
"As the head of the research department, do you realize how heinous your actions are?" she was questioned.
"I've already said it wasn't me," Selena replied, her slender back straight and calm in the face of everyone's doubts.
"But according to internal sources at 717, you are the one who gave them the inside information," she was accused.
Selena looked up and stared at the group of serious-looking people in front of her. "Given that | am already a stable head of the research department, | have no reason to do such a thing," she said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Perhaps it was to frame and eliminate opponents? After all, if we lose the ‘Sacred Pearl,’ the Shaw family will lose control of the research institute," someone suggested.
Suddenly, Selena laughed, a contemptuous, sarcastic, and cold smile. "Forgive me for being blunt, but even if it's someone within 717, they are not worthy of me lowering myself to frame them!" she said.
The interrogation room fell silent for a moment.
Selena's outstanding abilities as a mechanic had long been known throughout Zone Six. Apart from the owner of the ‘Sacred Pearl," there was probably no one in the world who could compete with her in this regard. Given this, she had no reason to take risks and frame the Shaw family.
Another voice of doubt came, "Then let me ask you, if you have nothing to hide, why did you openly resist arrest and even injure Colonel Esmee in the process?" Selena looked up, her eyes cold as she looked at the man asking the question. "This question should be directed at all of you. In a situation where | had not yet been charged, the other party dared to kill someone in public. Isn't that an order from all of you?" she replied.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly. "Miss Turner, you can eat your fill of rice, but you can't talk nonsense. Colonel Esmee was enforcing the law properly, and your words and actions amount to slander!" "In the situation where | had not resisted arrest, the other party opened fire on me outside Capital University, frightening many students. This is a fact that everyone witnessed," Selena said coolly. "My assistant only fought back in self-defense.” "According to you, should | not have fought back and just let her kill me?" she added.
The man's face changed slightly.
Sharp gazes turned to the few people who had gone to arrest Selena with Esmee. Esmee was injured and was in the operating room. The people who went with her could not hide anything from the many high-level executives present.
"At the time, the situation was a bit complicated... but it was indeed Colonel Esmee who attacked Miss Turner first," someone spoke up.
Selena laughed mockingly, "Murder and cover-up, abuse of power, disturbing the peace... looks like | need to meet you all in court!" "This is Colonel Esmee's personal behavior, it has nothing to do with Zone Two," a senior member of Zone Two spoke seriously, "Our order was only to bring Miss Turner to Zone Two for questioning!" "So, without receiving any orders and without me resisting arrest, shouldn't you be questioning why Colonel Esmee was so eager to kill me?" Selena smiled.
"Colonel Esmee is still in the operating room, we need to hear what she has to say about the situation," the man who had been questioning Selena earlier spoke calmly, "We can put this matter aside for now, Miss Turner. The urgent matter at hand is to find out why you leaked the existence of the ‘Sacred Pearl’ to 717 insiders!" Selena's cold gaze swept over him, "Wrong. The urgent matter at hand is to find out whether or not | actually did it, not why | did it. Please choose your words carefully.” The man couldn't deny it, "So, can Miss Turner provide evidence to prove her innocence?" Selena asked indifferently, "What kind of evidence do you want?" The man, perhaps angered by Selena’s stubbornness, insincerely suggested, "We may need several key figures from the Lab 717 to personally come and testify in order to prove Miss Turner's innocence?" Selena lowered her curled eyelashes and didn't speak, but her expression was somewhat cold.
After arriving at the interrogation room, Selena was neither afraid nor falsely accused. Instead, she subtly controlled the rhythm of the questioning, leaving many of the high-level officials on the scene feeling frustrated and annoyed.
Rarely did they see such a stubborn and noble lady from a prestigious family show such an expression, and the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they were about to continue interrogating Selena while she was mentally weak, the sound of a wheelchair rolling suddenly came from outside the door.
Almost everyone thought of the same thing in an instant, turned their heads to look, and their faces changed slightly.
Patrick pushed Oscar in, and at a glance, he saw Selena being interrogated by a group of people in the interrogation room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA hint of pity appeared in Patrick's eyes, "Selena..." Oscar's eyes were somewhat cold, "Go bring my sister out.” Patrick immediately stepped forward and pushed open the door of the interrogation room.
The man Esmee targeted stood up abruptly and glared at Oscar, saying, "Commander Turner, Miss Turner is suspected of leaking state secrets. This is against the rules!" Oscar's tone was calm but with a hint of sharpness, "You all are not qualified enough to interrogate the daughter of the Turner family." The expressions of the people on the scene changed for a moment.
Strictly speaking, Selena did not belong to the Zone Six internal staff. Even if there was really an interrogation to be conducted, it would not be Zone Two's turn to do it.
The man wanted to say something, but Oscar's cold gaze fell on him first, "What? Do you want to try and see what happens if you touch the Turner family's daughter?" Blake clenched his teeth as he faced those familiar eyes that had haunted him in his nightmares.
Oscar's tone was cold, "If the daughter of the Turner family really does something that harms the interests of the country, I will personally execute her. But if she hasn't done anything-" The man's tone became even colder, "I will personally kill the person behind her!" The atmosphere on the scene quieted for a moment.
Patrick walked into the interrogation room, holding Selena's hand, and walked out, "Selena, let's go home." Selena finally came to her senses from some kind of emotion, she raised her head, revealing a pair of dark and cold eyes, but she stood still, not moving.
Patrick turned his head in confusion, "Selena..." Selena smiled and looked at Blake and the people of Zone Two, but there was no warmth in her eyes, "I said it before, it's easy to ask God, but difficult to send him away. Since you all have taken on this role, you naturally have to be prepared to bear the consequences.” Selena pulled away from Patrick's hand, turned and sat down in a chair, "Cousin, you and Uncle should go back. | don't plan to leave here until the truth is found out." The scene was suddenly full of confused expressions.
Through the transparent glass, Oscar's gaze fell on Selena's face.
Patrick obviously didn't want to leave, "But-" Selena shook her head...
