After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion) novel Chapter 304

Aurora heard the murmurs of people around her and responded expressionlessly, "Whether or not you care about her feelings towards me is irrelevant. You don't need to explain it repeatedly."
It sounded sincere, but also like sarcasm.
Sion sighed silently and changed the subject, asking his question out of curiosity. "But Aurora, why do you have so much evidence?"
He didn't remember anyone with advanced technology skills around her, so he was confused.
Aurora's gaze turned from a passerby beside her as she lazily replied without wanting to get into it too much. "A friend gave it to me."
It wasn't his business anyway; why bother knowing so clearly?
Sion became even more puzzled at this point.
A friend?
His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he asked further, "Male or female?"
"..."
That question made her even more impatient. L's face flashed through her mind briefly before she answered without thinking too much about it. "Male."
This instantly made Sion lose his calmness.
Albie had just disappeared in front of her and Cameron hadn't been resolved yet; now there was another unknown computer expert involved in Aurora's affairs. Obviously, they weren't just ordinary friends.
He wanted to ask more questions but Aurora had already walked away in another direction.
The police seemed to have discovered some clues nearby. The onlookers followed suit despite not knowing what they could see clearly while standing behind the tape watching on curiously.
Aurora frowned slightly but didn't push forward any further since everything had almost become clear by now-Nevaeh was the culprit behind everything and there wasn't anything else worth looking at anymore.
Everything seemed surreal right now since things were almost settled. Now what mattered most was catching Nevaeh and bringing justice to all that she had done. Aurora stood still for a moment before taking a deep breath.
Meanwhile, Sion was still struggling with thoughts about that man's involvement which made him feel sour inside. He felt uncomfortable being stuck between wanting answers from Aurora yet afraid of annoying her by being too nosy.
"Miss Robertson," said the policeman who had just approached them again. "We'll go to gather evidence from Miss Hayward's house. Would you like to come with us?"
Aurora was the one who reported the case and the kidnappers kidnapped her daughter. Therefore, some leniency should be given and she should be informed of certain things.
Aurora came to her senses and replied, "Let's go."
When the group arrived at Hayward's villa, Karen was sitting on the living room sofa in a daze, feeling like everything that had happened today was just a dream. Her body even trembled slightly. She couldn't believe that Nevaeh was a murderer, who had been hunted down. Moreover, she had panic fear after knowing that those criminals had stayed in her place.
Thinking of this, she was completely distraught. She wished she could immediately find someone to disinfect every inch of her villa and throw away everything in the room they had stayed in.
Before she could put her plan into action, a group of people burst in through the door.
Apart from the police, there was Aurora, whom she hated. Sion was someone she knew, but she didn't have much interest in him.
"What are you doing?!"
"Miss Hayward." The police officer approached her and showed his police ID. "I would like to ask you some questions about a case. Please cooperate with me."
"About what?!"
Karen took a cautious step back and said, "It's not my business! How was I supposed to know that Nevaeh would kill someone?... I don't know anything!"
She was very resistant to this matter. The moment, when she saw the police, she felt that they would arrest her and put her in jail.
"Easy, easy."
The police officer noticed her intense resistance and her facial expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"We're just asking as a matter of routine. If you have nothing to do with it, we won't do anything to you. Could you please cooperate?"
"Why should I cooperate?!" Karen lost her composure and pointed to the door, telling them to leave. "Get out! This has nothing to do with me! I don't know anything!"
When she glanced back at her servants, only to find them gone.
"Get them out of here!" she shouted to the house.
The police thought she was being a bit dramatic, so they reached out and grabbed her.
"Please calm down, Miss Hayward."
But Karen showed no signs of calming down and instead became increasingly agitated.
"Let me do it." Aurora's eyes were fixed on Karen, but her words were directed at the police.
"Do you have a solution?" The police were also in a difficult situation. They couldn't just shackle Karen for causing a scene. If there was a way to do so, that would be ideal.
Aurora went straight to pull Karen over without expressing any opinion.
A crisp sound rang out, and the world suddenly fell silent.
She slapped her in the face.
No one had expected Aurora to slap her directly, and for a moment everyone was stunned and no one spoke.
This was simply unacceptable for the young lady, and she was staring at Aurora with anger. For a long while, Karen remained silent before speaking in a dazed tone, "You dare to hit me again?"
"Didn't you already play it before? Haven't you gotten used to it yet?"
"..."
The police were also stunned as they looked at the scene. Unexpectedly, Aurora, who looked gentle and soft, had such a fierce hand. They just looked around as if they hadn't seen anything.
Sion took two steps forward and stood not far from Aurora, in a protective stance. Karen covered her face and looked at the circle of onlookers. Tears finally rolled down her eyes.
"You... how dare you slap me? My dad won't let you get away with it!"
"That will have to wait until your dad arrives. Do you think everyone is obligated to tolerate your temper?"
"If you don't understand, let me tell you that you must cooperate with the police in handling the case. Moreover, you are suspected of harbouring criminals. Do you want to be detained by the police if you refuse to cooperate?"
Karen was stunned by what she heard, tears streaming down her face like broken beads. She forgot to cry out loud.
Aurora turned to the police officer, saying politely, "I'll leave the rest to you. She shouldn't cause any more trouble now."
She believed that Karen knew nothing. Even from beginning to end, Nevaeh had used her without telling her anything. As for how the police would ultimately judge the situation, whether Karen was protecting a criminal or involved in any way, Aurora didn't concern with that.
