Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 302

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Makenna was also making investigation records; two police officers, one male, and one female were sitting by her bed, asking her questions.

"Ms. Gardner, just to be clear, you do believe Ms. Reed had put the hit out on you, don't you?" The policeman looked deep into Makenna's eyes.

Next to him, the policewoman was recording everything with a recorder.

Makenna nodded affirmatively. "Of course!"

"If it turns out not to be Ms. Reed, your statement will be a false accusation and you will be liable for slandering. Ms. Gardner, are you sure about this?" The policeman deliberately spoke slower and clearer to make himself sound more serious.

Her heart skipped a beat when hearing the word "liable". She thought for a moment and remembered what she had seen on the livestream. Amber said she could prove that she had done her no harm by the end of the day.

She's worried that Amber could really prove it, and she's talked to a lawyer, and if Amber can prove that she didn't do it, and then she's guilty of false accusation, she would face up to 3 years in prison.

She started this whole thing because she didn't think Amber had any evidence, couldn't come up with it, but now she's not so sure.

But she had come this far, and there was no turning back, so she just kept going, taking her chances, betting on Amber's empty words.

Thinking about it, Makenna hid her uneasiness and nodded with a smile, "I'm sure."

"Okay, I got it." The policeman stood up and was ready to leave.

Just then, the policewoman's cell phone rang.

She took it out and looked at it and handed it to the policeman, "Captain, it's from the station."

The policeman took the phone and answered it.

Two minutes later, his brow furrowed and his eyes gave Makenna an odd look.

Makenna felt a bit scared by his look, but quickly calmed down again and pretended that nothing was wrong.

"Understood, I'll ask." The policeman finished and put down his phone and handed it back to the policewoman.

"Ms. Gardner," the policeman looked at Makenna, "Do you know a man called Luis Evans?"

Hearing this name, Makenna's expression changed slightly.

The policeman saw this and immediately knew the answer.

He pushed his glasses, "It seems that you do know him. Luis Evans threw sulfuric acid on Ms. Reed. He has been placed in criminal detention, according to his statement, he would only do this to Ms. Reed, solely because of a phone call from you, and in that phone call, you made it very clear what you wanted him to do. Is this what you're doing?"

Makenna's heart raced, like it was about to jump out; her hands and feet were cold.

Half-drooping her eyelids, not daring to meet the male cop's sharp gaze, "Of course not, I did make a phone call to him, but I don't think I was encouraging him to do it to Amber."

"But according to our investigation, you hate Luis, you never contacted him since you graduated from high school, and today you suddenly contacted him and said those things that have underlying meanings to him, how do you explain that?" The policeman narrowed his eyes and examined her.

Makenna suddenly covered her face and cried, "I didn't want to, horrible thing happened to me, my fiancé broke off the engagement with me, my parents found my sister, they were busy trying to bond with my sister. I was all alone. I desperately wanted to talk to someone, but I couldn't find anyone, just at that time, Luis asked about me, so I just called to have a talk with him, but..."

"But what?" The policeman stared at her closely.

Makenna was sobbing, "But I did not encourage him, I just told him about my mood and thoughts, if you were me, such a thing happened to you, would you not hate the person who hurt you?"

"Of course, I would." The policeman pondered for two seconds and nodded back.

Makenna's eyes flashed a gleam of light, and added, "Since you understand my feelings, then why did you say I had instigated Luis to hurt Amber? I only said I hated Amber so much and did not want to see her, but I did not ask Luis to do anything, it was he himself who misunderstood my words. It has nothing to do with me."

"You have a point, in that case, then I will go back to the bureau to discuss with my superior, you have a good rest."
