Bright knew Lina would not say anything and would be calm.
"Zoe, tell me how Doris got hurt!" He shifted his focus.
After all, Zoe was a student and had not experienced a lot. She was not as calm as Lina, and the point was that she had been afraid of him since childhood.
"I... I don't know. I don't know anything." Zoe denied it.
She remembered what Lina had taught her. No matter what Bright asked, she just needed to say she didn't know because he had no evidence to prove it.
"Brother Bright, I don't understand why you brought us here and treated us like criminals when Doris is hurt." Lina had to give up to leave. She turned to face Bright. "Or did Doris say something to you?"
"You got into my office and had an argument with Doris, and Zoe pushed her over, and then Doris hit the coffee table! When you saw her in a coma, you didn't tell anyone, nor did you call 120. You just walked away!" Bright blamed them for their mistakes.
"Doris is just a 5-year-old kid. Even if she was hostile to Lina, she is just not sensible. And you pushed her down and then left her behind. It is intentional homicide! As the child's father I have the right to sue you!"
"If not for the sake of the friendship between the Kim family and the Lee family, not for the sake of us growing up together, I would not bring you here, but send you directly to the police station!"
Lina was not convinced with Bright's serious accusation and was angry. She was not scared, but Zoe was weak in the legs. "Brother, I... I didn't kill her!"
Lina helped Zoe sit on the sofa and whispered, "Don't listen to him. He doesn't have any evidence! Sit here and don't listen or say anything. Leave it to me."
"Brother Bright," Lina said, approaching Bright, "although I know little about law, you should give out evidence when you charge us. Words don't constitute sound proof."
"Lina, I'll have the proof." Bright was confident, "I'm giving you the opportunity to tell the truth. But if you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I have plenty of time. You can stay here for a while and tell them anything you need."
Bright stood up, as tall and proud as a straight pine.
He sorted out his suit jacket lightly and started to leave.
"Brother Bright, are you going to keep Zoe and me under house arrest?" Lina looked pale and clenched her fists.
"I just asked you to be a guest here. Don't think too much about it." Bright looked back at her frozen face. "Lina, have a good time."
"Brother Bright, house arrest is also against the law." Lina reminded him.
"Do you have any proof that you are under home arrest?" The smile in Bright's eyes was lukewarm, "and put your mobile phones and other communication devices on the table."
"Brother Bright, these are personal belongings. You have no right to do that." Lina knew that Bright was serious, and she was afraid.
"If you won't give them out, then I'll have to ask them to help." Bright swept at those several people in black and said, "Do you want them to force you?"
"Brother Bright, we are not prisoners!" Lina was not willing to be obedient. If there was no mobile phone, how could she contact the outside world?
She needed to tell her father and Mr. Francis about their situation as soon as possible. Now, only they could save her and Zoe.
"Don't talk nonsense in front of me. There is nothing I can't do in my area if I want to." Bright's eyes were deep. "Lina, you'd better be good."
