Chapter 2619
Night of Destiny
The police station was within sight. Imogen was eventually locked in a room, awaiting interrogation.
She pleaded to make a call several times, but her requests were denied. She panicked as she paced
around.
Soon, Shirley and Roy arrived. The number Imogen called belonged to the ringleader of the
kidnappers, and the cops were trying to recover the deleted text messages. âTheyâll recover the
messages in ten minutes. We just have to wait,â said Roy.
âWe have time. Itâs not like she can run away,â answered Shirley. The friendship she shared with
Imogen was already lost. After she saw how conniving Imogen was, she knew there was no friendship
between them all along, she was only using Shirley to her advantage.
Ten minutes later, the lost messages were recovered. Shirley, through the messages, saw how Imogen
exposed her true identity. She was also the one who came up with the abduction plan. The proof of
betrayal sitting right before her suffocated Shirley for moments. She held up the paper and asked the
cops to let her meet Imogen.
The cops knew who Shirley was, so they promptly brought her to where Imogen was locked up.
Imogen was in a rut, but when she heard someone coming, she quickly held the steel bars and tried to
see who it might be. To her delight, it was Shirley. âShirley? Shirley youâre finally here! I thought you
wouldnât come.â Imogen heaved a sigh of relief, thinking Shirley had come to save her.
However, she noticed that Shirley wasnât smiling. She was cold and indifferent. you have to prove that
Iâm innocent and tell them to release me.â
Shirley turned to the cop. âGive us ten minutes, please. Thank you.â
The cops left. Once they were gone, Shirley turned back to the steel bars, looking at the panicked
Imogen while staring into her eyes. âImogen, why did you tell the kidnappers everything about me?
When did you start working with them?â
Horrified, Imogen stared at Shirley in disbelief. She played dumb. âWhat are you talking about, Shirley?
I donât get it.â
âStop playing dumb. See for yourself.â Shirley hurled the paper into the cell.
Imogen bent down and picked them up. When she saw the text history, she froze. It was her chat with
the kidnappers. âListen to me, Shirley. They made me do this. They were desperate for money, so they
came to me. They know you and Mr. Flintstone share a deep bond, so they made me tell them
everything.â Imogenâs eyes were getting red. She was trying to regain Shirleyâs trust.
âStop explaining yourself. I know full well what kind of person you are. Even back at the base, you only
approached me because I was from a good family. You never saw me as a friend, only something you
could use.â
Imogen froze. She didnât think Shirley had seen through trying to regain Shirleyâs trust.
âAlso, you sold me out to the kidnappers for money. on a platter to them.â Shirleyâs eyes flared with
rage.
Since she couldnât regain Shirleyâs trust, Imogen sneered. âWhen did you realize it, Shirley?â
âYour operation was sloppy. It took me five years, but itâs not too late to see your true colors now,â said
Shirley coldly. âYouâll pay dearly for this.â
Horrified, Imogen held the steel bars. âDo you think everyone has your luck, Shirley? You were born to
privileges I never would have access to my whole life! Whatâs more, you have the lover that Iâll never
get my whole life! Donât call me greedy! If you were in my place, youâd end up on this side of the cell,
too!â
