I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 423 - 422: The Girl from Six Years Ago (26)
When Kris Cooper left, Vera Wave had made him swear not to interfere.
"Miss Wave is alone at the hospital now. Are you sure you’re okay with that?" Tommy Taylor grabbed his arm, pulling him towards the car. "You go to the hospital and accompany Miss Wave. I’ll go check out the situation with the police. I promise I’ll keep an eye on them and make sure they find the real culprit!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
As he spoke, Tommy Taylor opened the car door, pushed Kris Cooper inside, and closed the door.
"Take Mr. Cooper back to the hospital."
Kris Cooper, worried about Vera, immediately instructed him through the car window.
"If there are any developments, contact me immediately."
"I understand. You can go now!"
Tommy Taylor nodded. Watching the car carry Kris away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Cooper was great in every way, but when it came to Vera, he easily lost control. At least this time, he was safely on his way back to the hospital.
At this point, the police had taken several key individuals, including Mira Wilton and Irene Spencer, to the police station for detailed questioning.
The manager of the film studio also came over. "Assistant Taylor, I’ll accompany you to the police station."
"Okay!" Tommy Taylor agreed, and the two of them got into a car and headed to the police station.
...
「At the police station.」
Irene Spencer and Anabel Wilton were taken to separate interrogation rooms. Compared to Anabel Wilton’s frantic denials and inability to refute the allegations, Irene Spencer appeared much calmer.
While answering questions, she also revealed some details to the police about Anabel Wilton’s conflicts with Vera Wave.
"Anabel Wilton claimed that you used her phone. Is that true?"
"I did not."
"Truly, I did not."
Irene Spencer appeared composed. "I have my own phone. Why would I need to use hers?"
The police contrasted Anabel Wilton, who was frantically refuting the claims, with Irene Spencer, the composed superstar. They were naturally more inclined to believe Irene Spencer, especially since the fingerprint analysis of the phone showed no trace of her prints. Combined with testimonies from others portraying Anabel Wilton as consistently harsh, she became a prime suspect.
At midnight, Irene Spencer was allowed to leave the police station, while Anabel Wilton was still being interrogated.
As Irene Spencer stepped out of the interrogation room, she saw Tommy Taylor waiting outside and sighed.
"Is Vera okay?"
Tommy Taylor shook his head.
"She’s fine."
"That’s a relief. Otherwise... I honestly don’t know what I would have done." Irene Spencer turned her face towards the interrogation room. "I never imagined that Lucy Clark would do something so extreme."
Her driver came over. "Miss Spencer, shall I take you home now?"
Irene Spencer bid farewell to Tommy Taylor and the others, got into her car, and settled into the back seat. Peering at the police station building through the car window, she leaned back against the seat, a cold smile playing on her lips in the darkness.
"Let’s go."
...
「Inside the interrogation room.」
Anabel Wilton cried loudly, "I told you, it wasn’t me! It really wasn’t me! Irene Spencer used the phone! She’s framing me! She likes Kris Cooper! She hates Vera Wave! She’s framing me!"
"Anabel Wilton, stop making excuses! There are no fingerprints from Irene Spencer on the phone. Do you think you can deceive us like that?"
...
All the evidence pointed to Anabel Wilton. After being interrogated overnight, her mental state was on the brink of collapse. Her statements became contradictory, and she just kept repeating, "It’s not me, it’s not me." Seeing that no further information could be gleaned from her, the police decided to detain her.
