Chapter 109

The group of people soon came to the police station.

In the lobby of the criminal police detachment.

The others quickly finished their statements and left one by one.

Lauren was taken to the questioning room.

Charlotte and Joyce were in the hall giving statements, and Juanita,

who hadn't finished giving statements either, was on the sidelines with

Joyce.

Officer Karl bowed his head and took careful notes.

Charlotte recalled, "That night, I went to Club Haven late, and they had

already finished dinner and started singing, and Lauren sat down next

to me and complained to me first. She said something like how Joyce

was high up in the project team, everyone liked Joyce, and Joyce didn't

take her as a supervisor seriously. "

"At the time, she looked like she had been drinking a lot and was

getting more and more angry and emotional. Then she told me that she

wanted to teach Joyce a lesson. she showed me a pill. Said she

wanted to spice up Joyce's drink."

"What kind of pills?" Karl asked, looking up.

Charlotte pretended to think about it and gestured, "Bean-sized, pink

pills."

"Well, it was indeed she who purchased it at an adult store. You go on."

Karl took notes quickly.

"I cautioned her at the time that she should never do that. And she

agreed, saying it was just a joke and that I should not take it to heart."

Charlotte stated.

At this point, Luther couldn't help but interrupt, his dark, black eyes

holding back his anger, “If you knew, why didn't you warn Joyce?"

The way he was about to lash out made Charlotte's eyes instantly red.

She pretended to be aggrieved and choked up, "Luther, I didn't know it

would be that kind of medicine. Little pink pills that I thought were the

usual laxatives I saw on TV commercials. And Lauren said it was just a

joke, so I didn't take it to heart. I'm sorry, I'm so stupid ..."

Charlotte reached for Joyce's arm and shook it with a guilty look, "I'm

sorry, I really didn't know. I didn't think of it that way. I didn't mean to

deepen the conflict between my colleagues, so I didn't say anything.”

Charlotte was quite smart when it came to making up reasons.

"How can I blame you? It's okay. You go ahead and take your

statement.” Joyce smiled indifferently.

Luther frowned. He always felt something wrong, but could not say.

Charlotte cautiously glanced at Luther, continued, "Then Lauren went

to the bathroom, and she came back almost staggering. It should be

the after-effects of the wine, when she asked Joyce to toast her a glass

of wine. So, they both had a glass of champagne. I think Lauren might

have used her pills at that point.”

“There is no need for you to make speculations. What the facts are, we

will find out ourselves." Karl looked up with an expressionless face and

a stern gaze.

When Charlotte met his eyes, she had a momentary panic and

hurriedly lowered her head, "I'm sorry.”

"Well, you can go now." Karl spoke coldly.

Charlotte was a little embarrassed as she stood up and stepped aside.

After thinking about it, she thought it would be more appropriate for her

to go first.

So she said to Luther and Joyce, “I'll go back to the office first. There's

still some work that needs to be taken care of.”

"Well, okay." Luther waved his hand and did not set his eyes on

Charlotte.

Charlotte bit her lip. Although she felt reluctant, she really should not

stay longer. She needed to contact Ricky about this incident for any

follow-up measures.

"Wow, what a cool cop." Juanita attached to Joyce's ear and

whispered, "Generally people will pity Charlotte when they look at her

pearly and pitiful face, yet this officer is so cool and stylish. Wow, I

wonder if he has a girlfriend.”
