Chapter 312

Ellinor smiled, “If it was me, you would have to investigate thoroughly and never give up! if it were your

good friend, would you tell me not to pursue it? Ms. Howard, you have obvious double standards!”

“Ellinor, actually, I never intended to go after you in the first place. It was Balfour, being overprotective

and all…” Patricia said, looking at bit embarrassed.

Still handcuffed, Ellinor leaned back in her chair, “Ms. Howard, I’d rather not hear you out anymore.

Let’s just leave the rest to the cops,

shall we?”

Patricia hung her head, not giving up on defending her friend, “I’m sorry, I know we wronged you. But

she’s my best friend. I just hope. you can be a bit more forgiving…”

Ignoring Patricia, Ellinor turned to the stern–faced Balfour, “Mr. Balfour, you’re quite fond of your sister,

aren’t you? You wouldn’t let the real culprit off the hook, would you?”

Patricia frowned, turning to Balfour as well, “You know she didn’t mean to harm me, she was just trying

to help me, just in the wrong

way…”

Balfour had no sympathy for Haillie, but he had to consider his sister’s feelings, falling into deep

thought.

Seeing a hint of hesitation on Balfour’s face, Ellinor chuckled, “Mr. Balfour, I hope you can stick to your

principles and not play favorites like your sister. Don’t make yourself a laughing stock.”

Balfour snapped back to reality, his lips curling into a slight smile, “Ms. Mendoza, rest assured, if the

police prove that what Zachary and his family just said is true, I’ll treat it fairly.”

“Good.” Ellinor smiled.

Hearing Balfour’s statement, Haillie broke down, “Balfour! It wasn’t me. Ellinor set me up! You have to

believe me…”

The police stepped in to restrain the uncooperative Haillie, handcuffing her and taking her to the

interrogation room.

At the same time, they also took Zachary and his family down for separate interrogations and a serious

investigation to verify the facts. Half an hour later.

Two officers came in to remove Ellinor’s handcuffs.

“Ellinor, we’ve confirmed that everything Zachary said today is true, and this case has nothing to do

with you! We’re sorry for our mistake that led to this misunderstanding while you were suffering from a

severe allergic reaction…”

Finally free, Ellinor rubbed her wrists, which were uncomfortable from being handcuffed, “It’s okay.

Someone deliberately framed me, and you guys were just being used. We’re all victims here.”

The two officers looked at each other in surprise. They had expected Ellinor to be resentful and

blaming, but instead, they received her understanding and forgiveness.

Cases of wrongful arrest happen all the time, and most people would be displeased with them. But this

young woman, despite her age, showed a generosity beyond her years, which touched them.

One of the officers said sheepishly, “Ms. Mendoza, we made a mistake these past few days, can we

offer you a ride home?”

Ellinor waved it off, “No need, I know you mean well, but I’d rather not ride in a police car again.”

While the young woman turned down their offer, the two officers felt relieved. They smiled and said,

“Fair enough, we won’t insist then. Be safe on your way home!”

They warmed up to Ellinor, farely encountering citizens who understood the nature of police work like

she did.

“Sure, don’t worry about me. You guys have your work to do!”

The officers left after giving a nod, and Balfour approached Ellinor with a smile.

Now that the truth was out, it was time for him and Ellinor to bury the hatchet.

However, Ellinor didn’t even glance at him, walking right past him.

Balfour’s face turned awkward.

It was the first time in his life that others ignored him like this, and she didn’t take him seriously at all.
