The policewoman did not know what she was thinking prior. She gave a sigh and said, “The police will arrange for Alejandro to go through a DNA test with regards to the rumors going on around the internet. If he is actually an illegitimate son of the Tremonts… things would become complicated, which I’m sure you are already well aware of.”
Arianne did not say anything. Alejandro’s involvement would definitely complicate matters. However, aside from his true identity, the police would not be able to secure any other evidence, hence they would not be able to judge Alejandro, in the end. The fact was, Mark had gone out to sea with Alejandro and only the Smith’s ship had sunk. What was obvious was that the ship had not sunk by natural means, which was evident because of the sabotaged life raft that ultimately caused the demise of the passengers on the ship. The revelation of Alejandro’s identity would make her become the prime suspect. However, other than having to face the pressure from public discussion, there was nothing that could pin her to being related to the crime. There was no way that the airplane incident could ever be brought up for a reinvestigation. Therefore, as long as she did not admit to anything, she would not have any motive for wanting to get her revenge.
However, she was afraid that the truth of Alejandro being Ethan would be revealed to the public. If so, all his crimes would be brought up for trial and he would most definitely be sent to prison. If that happened, Arianne would definitely be dragged into it since she was involved too. Therefore, she had no choice but to deny all knowledge that Alejandro was Ethan because things would undoubtedly become complicated beyond imagination. Of course, all of this wouldn’t be a concern as long as Alejandro’s true identity was never revealed.
After the interrogation, Arianne was told that she could leave but was reminded not to leave the country so that the police could call her back at any time.
As Arianne arrived at the corridor, she noticed that Alejandro’s interrogation room door was still tightly shut, obviously meaning that he was still being interrogated. Arianne did not leave the police station immediately. She still had some things she wanted to tell Alejandro personally. They needed to protect themselves from complicating the matter even further. Otherwise, they would just be falling into the real culprit’s trap.
Alejandro finally left the interrogation room after approximately half an hour, two policemen following right behind him. It seemed like he was being sent to get his DNA tested.
