Chapter 297
The police station?
That was fast…
Nonetheless, Sheena was unsurprised, extending her two fair and delicate hands with a smile.” Sure, let’s go.”
It was the first time Maurice had seen someone being arrested so willingly and calmly, especially with that captivating smile. Having seen the photos of Bethany’s injuries, where the violence was evident, he found it hard to believe that the seemingly innocent and charming girl before him could be involved.
This made Maurice approach the situation more cautiously as he handcuffed Sheena. However, someone forcefully grabbed his hand before he could secure the cuffs.
Elijah, who had been washing dishes, heard the commotion and came out of the mansion. Upon witnessing the scene, his face turned serious, and he looked directly at Maurice. “This has nothing to do with her. I did it. If you’re taking someone, take me.”
Sheena was bewildered. “You were just peeling a few oranges yesterday. What does it have to do with you? Go about your business.”
Not only did Elijah not step back, but he also took a step forward, firmly positioning himself between her and Maurice. His gaze remained fixed on Maurice as he spoke firmly, “I know all the details of this matter. If you want to get to the bottom of it, take me with you.”
Sheena was getting annoyed. She could handle her own affairs. He did not need to get involved. Yet, Elijah casually turned his head, seemingly unaware of what she was thinking. He offered a reassuring smile, “Don’t worry. You go back first. I’ll handle this.”
Sheena was speechless. Did she look afraid?
“I’ve never been to a police station and find it quite interesting. I just want to have a cup of tea over there!”
Elijah and Maurice exchanged perplexed glances.
Did she think the police station was a cafe?
Moreover, she found it interesting?
Maurice observed both of them, understanding they were likely present at the scene, and declared, “Since both of you are related to this case, you can come together!”
Then, Maurice took out another pair of handcuffs.
Sheena did not object. Since Elijah loved meddling in her business, she would let Maurice take him away too.
“Sure, but I’d like to havé a quick word with my bodyguard first,” Sheena said.
John was called out, and Sheena took the black card from her bag and handed it to him, whispering something in his ear.
In the end, both of them were cuffed and escorted to a police car.
Inside the car, Sheena sat quietly, expressionless, occasionally admiring the scenery outside. Elijah observed her, noticing the red marks on her wrists caused by the handcuffs. Gradually, he felt frustrated and concerned. He held Sheena’s wrists, massaging the red imprints.
“Does it hurt?”
Sheena was not one to be delicate, but since he seemed willing to show concern, she did not retract her hand.
Upon entering the special interrogation room at the police station, Melania had already arrived. Bethany, wrapped up like a mummy, insisted on joining her, wanting to witness Sheena being sent to prison.
As Sheena entered the interrogation room, she immediately noticed Bethany, wrapped in layers of bandages. Sheena could not help but chuckle.
“Oh, Ms. Carver, your dedication is truly touching. You come even when you’re in such pain. How admirable!”
Bethany was indeed in pain, struggling to speak. Both the mother–daughter duo glared at Sheena venomously.
Maurice entered the room, beginning the questioning in a serious tone as he pointed at both Elijah and Sheena.
“Madam Carver, the person who broke into your house and assaulted you last night, which one of them was it?”
