Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO-Chapter 397: Threat to her life.
Cralens Investigation Bureau.
Arwen paused. Her brows furrowed deeply as she stared at the road ahead. After a moment, she responded, "Hello, Officer Davis. How can I help you?"
She had no idea what they were reaching out for. But regardless, she should as calm as it could be possible.
"Ms. Quinn, this is regarding your accident that happened a few months back in Palace Road. Could we meet to discuss it?" Officer Davis spoke through the line.
And his intention caught Arwen slightly off-guard.
"Regarding that accident …" she hesitated a little before finally voicing out her suspicion. "I don't think I made any complaints, Officer."
Although she should have, that time she was alone at the hospital with no one around, so she wasn't able to file any complaints. And later, when she investigated it, she couldn't find any clue.
"Ms. Quinn, we understand you had a situation at that time and weren't able to come to us. It's totally fine," Officer Davis spoke. And his words were enough to tell Arwen that he had investigated the situation well enough to know about her. But what she couldn't understand was —'why would he do that?'
"You were badly injured and were hospitalized in South City Hospital for almost a month. However, even though you weren't able to reach us then, you were still covered under the civil protection law. Hence, it's our duty to make sure to investigate the incident and find the wrongdoer. This is not just important for your safety but also for the safety of common people."
Arwen pondered over his words for a second before nodding. "Fine, Officer. Tell me what can I do to help you out in finding the person?" She knew who was behind that accident, but given that she didn't hold any evidence against Delyth, she simply couldn't give her name.
"That night, since I was running to save my life, I was barely able to see who was after me. I just remembered the car but after so many days, I can't give you the vehicle number with surety."
She said, not hiding the flaw of her side at all.
She thought these were the only ways she could help him find the instigators from that night …
But little did she expect that wasn't at all the officer was looking for her.
"It's fine, Ms. Quinn. We understand your situation."
She heard Officer Davis say again before further continuing. "We don't need you to give us any details regarding the accident. We already have all the proofs that we require. We know who was following you that night and we also have the details of the car that was tailgating you. So, don't worry, we got it covered."
Arwen was slightly taken aback. Adjusting her posture, she sat back straighter, leaning a little forward. "Wait, what did you say? You have gotten the proofs?"
As far as she remembered the videos from that night were all gone.
"Yes, Ms. Quinn. We have gotten the video footage of that night. And that's the reason, I have reached out today.," Officer Davis revealed. "We have a few questions for you. It would be great if you could spare some time and make a visit to our office tomorrow."
"Sure, Officer. I will try to make some time tomorrow." She no longer hesitated and readily agreed.
On the other end of the call, even Officer Davis was satisfied. "That would be great. See you tomorrow, then."
With that, the call was disconnected.
Arwen pulled away the phone, staring at the road ahead. It was hard to tell what was going on in her thoughts. But the gaze made it look like she was thinking something deeply.
"Madam!" Alfred's call brought her back.
When she glanced up at him, he politely added, "We have arrived."
Arwen's gaze turned to look outside the window, noting the familiar estate.

"Thank you, Alfred!" She said, already reaching out to gather her things before reaching out to open the door for herself. "You can go and take a rest now. I will let you know when I have to leave tomorrow."
Alfred nodded in understanding. And saying that, Arwen pushed the door open and got out of the car, heading inside the manor.
"Madam, you are back?" Mr. Jones came to greet when saw Arwen entering the house.
Arwen passed a soft smile to him before graciously asked. "Gianna? Where is she?" Usually, when she would come back home, Gianna would always be waiting for her in the living room itself. However, she wasn't there.
Mr. Jones's gaze darted upstairs before he spoke, "Ms. Griffin has come home quite early today. Last, when I checked, she had been resting in her room."
Arwen also turned to look upstairs. "Okay, I will go to her then," she said, and turned to take the stairs.

Meanwhile …
At the same time, in East Serenity Residence, Brenda returned to the manor in a rush.
Entering the hall, she spotted Xander around and quickly asked, "How is Madam now?"
Xander turned to her, his brows furrowed with clear concern. "Ms. Margaret, earlier in the evening, Madam was taking a stroll in the garden, looking all fine. But then suddenly, her condition deteriorated. Before any of us could react, she was already there lying limp.do We brought her in and called the doctor. Currently, he hasn't given us any news. He is there with Madam, upstairs."
Margaret didn't look much surprised. But she was clearly worried. Patting her chest to ease the fear in her heart, she asked, "How did this happen? Did she not take her medicines today?"
"She did," Xander replied. "After lunch, the maid made sure that she had had her medicines."
"Then how can her situation deteriorate like this?" Margaret almost snapped. But then realizing her tone, she closed her eyes and apologized. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to raise my voice."
Xander shook his head. "It's fine, Ms. Margaret. I know it wasn't intentional."
Margaret nodded. Her gaze darted as she looked in the direction of the master bedroom. "Madam, the situation won't get any better. We have to be careful around her. We can't let her fall like this. This will only increase the threat to her life."
At this moment, they heard someone rushing down.
"Nurse, how is the lady?" Margaret asked.
The nurse shook her head. "She …"
