Upon hearing these words, an officer glanced at the pale-faced Chloe and gestured to his colleague to look for the evidence. After a few minutes of searching, they found the call records between Chloe and Hazel and a notification of the 30 thousand dollar deposit.
"Ms. Chloe, please come with us to the station and give us your statement," one of the officers requested.
"It wasn't me. I didn't do it!" Chloe explained desperately.
Edgar's voice boomed as he pointed accusingly, "This was you! You were envious of Hazel and feared that she would snatch Mr. Joseph away from you!"
"Shut up!" Joseph roared as he stared coldly at Edgar.
Startled, Edgar trembled and begrudgingly kept his mouth shut.
"Calm down, Mr. Joseph. There's no need to get so worked up. Or perhaps you’re feeling guilty?" Victor taunted sarcastically.
Ignoring him, Joseph tightly held Chloe's hand and said to the police, "We would like to call our lawyer."
"Go ahead, sir," the officer replied.
Edgar tensed up upon hearing that they were calling a lawyer.
From inside the police car, Chloe asked worriedly, "Do you believe me?"
Joseph gently stroked her head and said, "Yes, I know there's a misunderstanding. Once we have the recording, everything will become clear."
"Yeah..." Chloe nodded. As long as they got the recording, it would prove she was not lying.

Samuel and Tyson arrived at the police station at the same time.
Since the incident with Hazel occurred outside of his jurisdiction, Tyson could not officially take charge of the case and had simply come to provide guidance. After hearing about the situation, he felt it was not too serious. He stood up from his chair and said, "Cooperate with the police and give your statement. I'll talk to them and see if we can get the recording as soon as possible."
Although he did not have close connections here, he knew a few people.
