Chapter 1148

Blake pondered, ‘When Madelyn left, she had blood on her body.

Could it be that the blood wasn’t hers but Mr. Jardin’s?’

The officer asked, “Ms. Dion, is there anything else you want to say?”

Blake pursed her lips. She thought of Liam and asked, “Can I talk to my friend for a moment?”

“Until your suspicion is cleared, neither you nor your friend can leave unless someone can vouch that this has nothing to do with you two,” the officer responded.

The only person Blake could think of who could help them was Kevin.

Blake believed only Kevin knew exactly what happened in the room at that time.

She did not expect to end up dragging Liam into this.

She called Kevin. After half a minute of ringing, he still did not answer the call.

Blake persistently dialed over and over again.

Finally, when she called, she was notified that Kevin’s phone was switched off.

She thought, ‘Kevin must think that Mr. Jardin’s injury was related to me, so he doesn’t want to see me now.’

Feeling disappointed, Blake hung up the call. “Do we have to wait fo someone to bail us out before we can leave?”

The officer replied, “This matter is serious. We still need to get in touch with the people from Jardin Corporation and prove that it has nothing to do with you two.”

Blake quickly said, “The person outside is the editor-in-chief of our company. He’s also the person in charge of StartReading. He definitely has nothing to do with this. His health condition isn’t quite good. Can you let him leave? I’ll stay.”

After handing over the documents, the female police officer on the side glanced at them before closing the file, “We’ll handle this matter.”

In the detention room, Olivia took Liam out of the police station after she learned about the situation, acting as the guarantor.

Liam asked, “How is she doing?”

The officer replied, “I’m sorry, we can’t disclose her situation. You can leave if there’s nothing else.”

Seeing that the police officer was about to leave, Liam immediately grabbed her, “What can I do to get her out? I can be her guarantor The officer responded, “The person injured is the CEO of the Jardir Corporation. The situation isn’t as simple as you think.

“Are you her boyfriend?”

Liam did not answer, nor did he deny it.

The female officer took it as a yes.

So, she said, “Let’s wait for some news. The fate of the CEO of Jard Corporation is still uncertain. You can go back and wait for the new When she’s free to leave, we’ll call you.”

Olivia said, “You still have the mood to meddle in another person’s affairs? Last time, I mentioned that your book has been adapted into a show. We’re planning a press conference, and the organizer wants you to attend in person. This time, I hope you can attend too. Showing yourself to the public is good for you.”

Liam looked away indifferently, “Thank you for your trouble. I’ll consider it. You can go back now.”

Olivia frowned. She had known Liam for many years. He had always been aloof, never this caring for anyone.

She said, “Liam, we’re just ordinary people. Blake is the precious daughter of the Dion family of Ventropolis. People like them won’t take relationships with us seriously. If you continue behaving this way, you’ll be the one getting hurt.

“After such a long time, you should’ve figured out that Blake likes someone else.”

Liam sat on a bench outside the police station, ignoring her.

Olivia was disappointed to see Liam being so stubborn.

She said, “Fine, I can’t persuade you. If you want to wait, you may continue waiting. Liam, I hope you understand that girls like her won be interested in you if you don’t have a powerful background. If yo keep deceiving yourself, there’s nothing I can do.”
