“She didn’t do it,” interjected Jeremy before Anya could finish her nonsensical sentence.

Anya was saddened by this. “Jeremy, do you trust her that much? You’ve only known her for a month plus…”

“We’re husband and wife. That should be reason enough for me to trust her,” said Jeremy mindlessly, not getting what Anya was hinting at as all of his attention was focused on the situation inside Corinne’s ward.

‘Husband and wife…‘ Those three little words caused Anya’s face to stiffen, but she quickly put on an innocent smile. You’re right. There must be a misunderstanding. Corinne is a good person, after all.”

Rosie and Sunny strode out of the elevator.

“Jeremy, we rushed here as soon as we heard!” exclaimed Rosie angrily. “Corinne has done it this time. How can she be so evil as to hire someone to assault Anya when she hasn’t even done anything to her? Heck, Anya has only been back for a couple of days.”

“Watch what you’re saying. We haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet,” said Jeremy sternly.

A chill went up Rosie’s spine. She opened her mouth but decided it was best not to say anything more. She thought that Jeremy would immediately cast Corinne aside once Anya was back. However, it seemed like she underestimated Corinne’s place in Jeremy’s heart.

Sunny, however, was more concerned about his sister, Anya. He might be her younger brother, but he was a head taller. He looked down at her and asked worriedly, “Anya, are you okay? I just got wind of what happened last night. They put off until today to tell me ‘cause they were afraid I’d do something impulsive.”

Anya smiled and gently shook her head. She stroked Sunny’s face and comforted him, “Don’t worry, Sunny. I’m fine. Jeremy came just in time to save me.”

Sunny sighed with relief once he was sure Anya was okay. Then, he clenched his fist angrily. “D*mnit, that b*stard. I swear to god I’ll beat him into a pulp if I ever lay eyes on him!”

Anya scrunched up her face in mock anger as she lectured him, “Sunny, let the police handle this. You better not do anything impulsive or get into a fight. Don’t let me worry about you, okay?”

Sunny did not wish for Anya to be angry. He immediately lowered his head and nodded like a little boy. “Okay, Anya. I won’t do anything impulsive. Don’t worry.”

“That’s more like it. I knew you’re a good kid after all,” said Anya with a reassured smile.

The door opened at that moment, and the officers walked out unhappily with the interrogation record in their hands.

Rosie could not wait to find out what would lie ahead for

Corinne, so she was the first to approach the officer. “Officer, how did the interrogation go? Was Corinne the one who hired that thug to carry out the crime?”

The police officer sighed and shook his head. “I don’t have an outcome yet. She refused to confess to the crime.”

Rosie knitted her brow in consternation. “Are you saying she won’t be convicted if she doesn’t confess to the crime? Didn’t you say you have physical evidence and witness testimonies? Show her that and see if she can worm her way out of this!”

“The witness and the perpetrator are the same person. He also turned in the chat record between him and Miss Corinne as physical evidence. The chat record shows Miss Corinne transferred fifteen thousand dollars to him, but Miss Corinne insisted she was being framed, that the chat record was fake and her bank account was hacked. She said she’d consider pleading guilty only if we can turn up circumstantial evidence proving she had met with the perpetrator before the crime happened,” the officer replied. Just thinking about the interrogation process made his head hurt.

Corinne was not the fool he thought she was. While it was true she had fully cooperated with the police officer throughout the entire interrogation by answering every question that was thrown at her, she was so skilled at reasoning that she was able to catch any inconsistencies in the investigation and turned the tables back at him.

After a few rounds of back–and–forth questioning, the police officers could not help but question the evidence and, consequently, their sanity. They were left with no choice but to convince their superior of Corinne’s innocence and drop the case against her.
