âNo, officer, what did I do wrong?â Layla asked.
She thought about it.
âWhat I had done was nothing more than instigating Abigail to drug the old man.
But how long had it been? Abigail had already been sentenced to seven years.â She was indeed not involved in Jaredâs murder of Preston.
This was because her agreement with Jared was that after Jared succeeded, she would bring people to witness the scene with Jared.
She would kick up a fuss and forcefully pin the blame.
on Julian.
Jared had failed.
He had not reached the point where she needed to act.
There was also the matter of instigating two girls to trip Annalise, which was not successful at all.
Moreover, one girl was taken away by her husband in a small boat that day.
The other girl had broken ribs and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Julian did not pursue the matter at all, so she couldnât understand why were the police looking for her now.
There must be a mistake.
âYouâre suspected of a murder attempt.
Please come with us,â the police officer said sternly.
âWhat? Murder attempt? How is that possible? I didnât do anything!â Layla defended himself.
âPlease come with us to the station,â The police officer said.
âAlright, I believe itâs just a mistake.â Layla had no choice but to follow.
Tony asked, âOfficer, whatâs going on?â The police officer said, âAre you a family member? If anything happens, weâll contact you in time.â Alexander saw his mother being taken away from afar.
His eyes looked as deep as the sea.
He looked back and saw Julian supporting Annalise not far behind him.
He stood there and waited for Julian to walk over.
He asked, âWas it you?â Julian turned his head to look at Alexander, then at Layla getting into the police car.
He replied faintly, âYes.â âWhy?â Alexander asked.
âWhat would you do if someone tried to kill your child?â Julian asked.
âCan you let her go?â Alexander asked.
He knew that it was unlikely.
After so many years, he knew how much Julian hated both him and his mother.
âNo!â Julian said flatly.
Alexander fell silent.
He knew that this would be the outcome.
However, as Laylaâs son, it was impossible for him not to ask for this favor.
He recalled that he had once told his mother that if she attacked Annaliseâs child, he would give up on Parks Groupâs competition.
He said, âIâll give up on competing for Parks Group, in exchange for her release.â He knew that Julian was a logical person.
If Julian called the police to arrest someone, he must have had evidence.
Julian turned around to look at Alexander again.
He retracted his gaze and said, âYou should know very well that Iâve never taken you seriously.
No one can take Parks Group away.â Alexander was instantly agitated.
His chest heaved as he said, âWeâll see then!â âIt has always been a competition of our own abilities.
Iâm looking forward to your performance!â Julian said calmly.
Alexander did not say anything more to Julian and got off the cruise ship.
Behind him, Julianâs voice was heard.
âI wonât let anyone who tries to hurt my child off.â Alexander stopped in his tracks and quickly left.
When they arrived at the police station, Jared was still calm.
The surveillance cameras had been taken out.
There was nothing for him to be afraid of.
However, when the police took out the surveillance footage and the recordings of a few waiters, he panicked.
He denied everything, saying that that was not his voice, that someone had imitated his voice to frame him, and he accused Preston.
He said that Preston had always hated him and wanted him dead because of his motherâs death.
He described himself as a helpless parent, while Preston was a rebellious and ungrateful brat.
âYou said this wasnât your voice?â The police officer asked Jared as he played the recording again.
âOfficer, please understand.
This is indeed not my voice.
If you listen carefully, you will be able to tell the difference,â Jared said.
The police smiled and asked Jared, âDonât you know that thereâs analysis for these things?
graphanalysis, voiceprint analysis, analysis for videos, photos, and so on.â Jared was speechless.
He was silent for a moment before forcing himself to remain calm.
âI know thereâs an analysis agency.
Iâll apply for an evaluated now.â âItâs already been done.
Take a look!â The police took an analysis report and pushed it in front of Jared.
âItâs the analysis report of an authorized agency.â When Jared saw the words âanalysis reportâ on the cover, he panicked.
He cursed those dicks deep down.
He cursed at their incompetence.
The matter was not handled well, but the recording was complete.
He had never seen such retards in his life.
He had clearly instructed that they had to kill.
Preston in one go.
Instead of killing Preston, they almost killed Prestonâs bodyguard.
Jared figured Preston was a hypocritical bastard who liked playing benevolence.
If his bodyguard was injured because of him, he would naturally call the police.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
If they killed Preston, there would be no such thing.
âAny objections?â The police officer asked Jared.
Jared suddenly raised his head and continued to defend himself.
âOfficer, it really wasnât me.
Preston is my own son.
How could I harm him?â The police officer said solemnly, âWhen we work a case, itâs all about evidence.â A young policeman said in a low voice, âThere are all kinds of people in the world.
Sons who kill their lusted over their own daughters Damn, I can go on and on.â Jared was speechless His eyes darted around as he thought about how to defend himself On Laylaâs side At first, she thought it was a mistake.
As a result, after she entered the interrogation.
room, the police began to ask her about the details of instigating the two women to trip Annalise.
She said that there was no such thing.
The police had warned her to behave.
The two women who attacked had already confessed.
Layla was speechless.
Her eyes kept flickering, then she calmly said that.
there was no such thing.
She didnât know what the police were talking about.
She said that it was ridiculous that she let someone trip Annalise.
She was hoping to lean on the fact that when she discussed the details with the two women, it wasnât a phone call at all, and that nothing couldnât have been recorded.
As long as she denied it, it was useless even if she confronted them.
âListen to this!â The police did not waste any time and clicked on a recording on the computer.
It was the details of how she told Bernardâs wife to trip Annalise.
Laylaâs expression instantly turned ugly.
âThat bitch actually recorded it?â She thought.
The police explained to her, âThis is the recording of the surveillance camera at the scene.
It has been silenced.
What else do you have to say?â Layla fell silent.
She was panicking.
She wondered if she should admit it or not.
Admitting it would make her a criminal.
If she didnât admit it, the evidence was still right in front of her.
She couldnât deny it.
âWhat should I do?â She thought.
