Chapter 587

“Yes, I am.

What’s wrong?”

“You’ve been reported as a suspect in a drug exchange case.

We need you to come with us for questioning,” the officer said firmly.

“What?” Shelia’s eyes widened in shock.

“No, sir, you must be mistaken.

You should be looking into Lindsey Stewart, not me,” she said, shaking her head.

“The report we received has your name.

Please cooperate and come with us.

”

It was clear from the officer’s tone that he was getting impatient.

Other officers stepped forward and went to stand behind Shelia.

She got the hint that refusal wasn’t an option, and the police would resort to coercive measures if she protested.

The set was filled with murmurs as the crew exchanged confused glances, watching Shelia being escorted away by the police.

Within minutes of being taken into custody, Shelia found herself sitting in an interrogation room at the police station.

A police officer placed a white medicine box in front of her and addressed her sternly, “Your father, Benny Stewart, has accused you of manipulating an employee at Lindnita Artists Agency to tamper with Xiomara’s prescribed weight-loss medication.

This act allegedly led to Xiomara’s drug poisoning, and she’s still in critical condition.

We found this box of medicine in your room, and the employee you supposedly influenced has confessed.

What do you have to say about these accusations?”

Shelia, utterly stunned, could barely process the words.

Her jaw started trembling.

“You’re saying… Benny reported me?” she stammered.

“Yes,”

In a sudden outburst of disbelief and rage, Shelia jumped up from her seat only to fall back abruptly since she was handcuffed to the table.

“Why? Why would he do this to me?” Her voice was a mix of despair and anger as she shouted at the top of her Lungs.

The interrogating officer, unmoved by her emotional display, said, “Please calm down.

Remember, there’s leniency for those who confess and severe punishment for those who refuse to speak the truth.

”

But Shelia was beyond reason, consumed by a sense of betrayal.

“I need to see Benny.

I have to talk to him,” she said through clenched teeth.

Amid the chaos at the police station, Kendra, having just heard about Shelia’s arrest while shopping, stormed into the police station.

Her eyes immediately fell on Benny, who was sitting in the reception area.

She tossed her shopping bags onto a nearby chair and approached him, grabbing his collar in a fit of rage.

“Benny Stewart, how could you do this? Shelia is your daughter too.

How can you hand her over to the police like this?” Kendra’s voice quivered with emotion.

Her entire body shook uncontrollably.

The shock of Benny’s betrayal was overwhelming, transforming into a seething anger she could hardly contain.

“I did it for the sake of my company,” Benny responded calmly.
