Bianca remained composed and grinned. "Ms. Thompson, don't you trust me?"
"I only trust in evidence."
"But Nala Chriss is missing, and it's linked to Lena's adoptive father and brother. That's a fact!"
Lina blinked, surprised and almost bursting into laughter. How could someone tell such blatant lies with a straight face?
Did she truly believe the security cameras in the hotel's backyard were completely malfunctioning? Did she genuinely think that with the Thompsons and Hamertons' resources, they couldn't fix a single surveillance camera?
Zuko comfortingly patted Lina's shoulder and discreetly handed her his phone.
Lina glanced at the message he had received from his subordinate: [Mr. Hamerton, we're working diligently to recover the surveillance data. The truth will come out very soon!]
Lina couldn't help but stifle a laugh. Bianca was only making her situation worse by hastily accusing Lena. They just needed to remain patient, and she would expose herself.
Just then, the butler rushed in, looking somewhat flustered. Several police officers followed him. They scanned the room and sternly inquired, "Can anyone here confirm that they are Lena Harding?"
Fleur stood up straight. "Officers, what's going on?"
"Are you Lena Harding?"
"I—"
"We've received a report linking Ms. Lena Harding to a kidnapping case."
"What?"
Lena was alarmed.
"Please cooperate with our investigation, Ms. Harding. Come with us."
