How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 83 -
Chapter 83 -83
Keira Olsen’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly approached the policeman, wanting to listen closely to what he had said.
But in the next moment, a hand reached out next to the officer, pressing the pause button in haste, and a crisp rebuke filled the air, “The case is unsolved, and no evidence should be revealed in front of the suspect! Did you learn nothing at the police academy?!”
The policeman immediately coughed and pleaded with a pained expression, “Dr. Sims, I know I’m wrong.”
The speaker was a female forensic doctor with a cool demeanor, her eyes brimming with righteousness, and her face exuded a sense of public security. She said coldly, “Let this not happen again.”
“Yes”.
...
Only then did the forensic doctor look towards Keira Olsen, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but she said nothing and simply put on her gloves and walked towards the body with her toolkit in hand.
Keira Olsen blinked in surprise; she hadn’t expected it to be her.
The person in front of her was her middle school classmate and the first female friend in her life, Holly Sims.
The Sims family had been forensic doctors for generations, and during middle school, Holly had a clear life plan, as she was determined to uphold justice in this world.
Those juvenile declarations became the goals she fought for all her life.
She went directly to a vocational school after high school and had become a forensic doctor whom everyone respected, even at a young age.
But…
Keira Olsen cast her gaze downwards.
There were some misunderstandings between them, and it seemed from her attitude just now that their past issues hadn’t been resolved yet.
Keira Olsen sighed silently to herself.
A few minutes later, Dr. Sims finished examining the body, stood up, and declared her findings, “The victim died from a penetrating wound, a fatal blow. There are signs of being struck on the chest, and the time of death should be around…”
She looked down at the time, “thirty to thirty-five minutes ago.”
The officer immediately said, “It’s been exactly thirty minutes since we received the call, so the victim died right when Miss Olsen entered the room!”
He turned to Keira Olsen, “All evidence currently points to you, Miss Olsen. As for the sounds you mentioned, perhaps the victim’s heavy fall masked the scream, and you simply didn’t hear it. Moreover, there is a witness who confirmed that the deceased spoke before you entered the room, so you are now the murder suspect! Please come with us to the station for further questioning!”
Keira Olsen glanced at Holly Sims and did not resist, “Okay.”
Seeing her compliance, the officer walked over to her, ready to escort her downstairs.
But just then, Holly Sims let out a cold laugh, “Doesn’t the murder suspect need to be handcuffed to prevent escape? What happened to the basic protocol for police?”
The officer paused and then gave a wry smile.
This lady was cooperating with their investigation, and even if she were the real perpetrator, it would have been self-defense, not intentional violence, so handcuffing her wasn’t strictly necessary.
But he didn’t argue, realizing Dr. Sims was purposely finding fault with this girl because of her dissatisfaction with her.
He coughed and looked apologetically at Keira Olsen.
Immediately, Lewis Horton stepped forward, about to speak, but Keira Olsen shook her head slightly at him and then cooperatively extended her hands.
After the cold handcuffs were secured, she was led downstairs by the officer.
Lewis Horton’s brow furrowed as he swiftly followed behind, “I’ll immediately hire a lawyer for you. Until the lawyer arrives, you have the right to remain silent.”
Keira Olsen nodded and instructed him, “For grandma, just say I’m staying at home for a couple of days.”
“Understood.”
When they reached the ground floor, Keira Olsen got into the police car, and suddenly felt a weight beside her. She turned her head and saw it wasn’t the policeman from before but Holly Sims.
As the car started moving, Keira Olsen kept a calm façade and suddenly asked, “How have you been these past few years?”
Holly Sims looked at her, her gaze clear and deep, “I’ve been doing very well, to your disappointment.”
“…” Keira Olsen was at a loss for words for a moment, then said in a low voice, “Back then, I…”
“Shut up!” Holly Sims snapped angrily, “You liar, I won’t believe anything you say!”
Keira Olsen: “…”
She sighed silently to herself.
But Holly Sims asked, “Was that man just now your boyfriend?”
Keira Olsen didn’t want to lie: “He’s my legal husband.”
Holly Sims’s body stiffened: “You’re married?”
Keira Olsen felt like a betrayer, she said slowly, “There’s something special between us, we…”
But Holly Sims turned her head away, “You did the right thing. Even if you had sent me an invitation, I wouldn’t have gone!”
Keira Olsen: …
Only then did she understand that this was the reason for Holly Sims’s anger.
Did she think she had got married without telling her?
Keira Olsen was both amused and troubled, just about to say something when Holly Sims’s voice rose again, “Is he that ‘big brother’ you said you’d marry back in the day?”
Keira Olsen’s expression became distant for a moment.
After a while, she spoke softly, “…No.”
Holly Sims scoffed, “So you really are fickle, discarding even that ‘big brother’, how could you possibly care about other friends?”
Keira Olsen continued to explain, “Actually, back then…”
“I told you to shut up!” Holly Sims’s pretty face was filled with anger, “Don’t think by bringing up our past relationship, I will help you! I’ve seen your true nature long ago: a complete and utter fraud!”
Keira Olsen: “…”
She didn’t speak again.
Yet Holly Sims looked at her again, “Stop thinking about all that nonsense, and focus on your case! Your case is very complicated, all the evidence currently points to you, and the marks on the body point to you as well. I won’t help you conceal anything…Why don’t you look at all worried?”
Keira Olsen smiled, her voice confident, “Because you are here, you will definitely prove my innocence. You’ve said you want to uphold justice in this world, not letting anyone suffer injustice at your hands, nor letting any criminal escape from you.”
Holly Sims was slightly taken aback, not sure if it was the trust she was shown or recalling those adolescent statements, her ears tinged red.
But she immediately said in a fierce whisper, “Don’t spout those sweet nothings here, I won’t believe a word you say. Keira Olsen, if you are the murderer, I will definitely see that justice is served!”
They soon returned to the police station.
Keira Olsen was suspected of murder and was temporarily detained.
Dr. Sims personally escorted her to the detention center, placing her in a solitary cell.
Standing outside the cell, she looked firmly at Keira Olsen, “Are you sure you didn’t kill the person?”
“Sure.”
Holly Sims then frowned, “Then what was with the sound of his voice?”
Keira Olsen said, “Could it be a phone recording? Wasn’t his phone found? Could you please help me check it out?”
Holly Sims scoffed, “The phone is in the police station; it won’t be lost. It’s crucial evidence.”
After saying this, she looked intently at Keira Olsen, “You brought up that phone, do you really want to know what message he left for you?”
Keira Olsen’s eyes lit up, “Will you tell me?”

“Of course.”
Dr. Sims’s tone was calm.
