After chasing off those journalists who wanted to interview him, Layton was questioned by police, which was recorded.
Then, the police went to Dahlia entertainment to see Anna. They wanted to know about the situation.
The news was spread out and made a sensation in the entertainment circle. People were wondering, did Anna really employ a goon to attack Layton?
But she had been already in scandal, and there was no need for her to do such things which would ruin her bright career.
To avoid causing too much attention, police made a record in the meeting room of Dahlia entertainment instead of taking Anna to police station.
Jack didn’t stop them but called on three top lawyers from lawyer’s office of Dahlia entertainment to accompany Anna.
“Relax, You’re gonna be okay.” Jack comforted her at the door of meeting room.
Anna nodded, “I know.”
The legal process was necessary. She had to obey.
After Anna and lawyers came, the police questioned her at once. They firstly showed a video which was shot by a monitor outside the lounge of the set.
“Do you know the man in the video?”
“No.”
“So what are you talking about?”
“He told me he was from Layton’s agency and had something to give Layton. He asked where Layton was. I showed him and told him Layton was acting in scene C.
The police looked at each other and turned off the video.
“Layton’s assistant picked the ruffian’s cellphone. There was only your cellphone number in it. How do you explain it?”
“I don’t know. That’s not my cellpone and I didn’t store the number in it, either. You should ask the one that stored it. What’s more, my cellphone number was leaked earlier so that many journalists were calling me all the time. I also want to ask him how he got my number.”
“At present, we have good reasons to suspect the one who asked you attacked Layton. We are now looking for his whereabouts. After finding him, we will prove your innocence.”
The police didn’t get the conclusive information from Anna. Their evidence was not enough and Anna was just suspected.
“We will act strictly according to law and catch everyone that acts against it.”
When leaving the Dahlia entertainment, a policeman looked at Anna meaningfully, “You’d better pay attention to your safety. After all, celebrity is a public figure.”
“I will. And I will prove my innocence, too.” Anna smiled without any more word.
Watching their leaving, Anna wasn’t as relaxed as her appearance. She had gone through some troubles in the past. As the saying goes, “A clean hand wants no washing”. Those rumors eventually fall apart. But this time, Layton’s plan put her in a corner. She felt stifled.
Later, Jack came and held Anna’s hands tightly.
“Bill is investigating it. He will find him before the police.”
“Why not just let the police solve it?”
“I don’t trust them. I must get the evidence to help you by myself.”
Jack had been accustomed to master his own destiny. Now that Layton planned to have a press conference to make public the full details about how he was attacked, he would give Layton the chance to be more famous, of course.
“Bill is always working carefully. He will find the man soon.”
“I believe you. I know you won’t let me wronged. But I worry about you more than me. Will those rumors...”
