Chapter 2283
“But, how did your brooch get there?”
Naya was stumped by Madeline’s question. At that moment, she was speechless. Her jaw dropped open and she did not know what to say. Yeah, how did her brooch get there? Why was it in Ava’s parking space downstairs of Ava’s apartment?
Naya's train of thought was disrupted at that moment. She did not know what to say anymore. However, if she kept silent, they would think that she was tacitly admitting to this.
She would not allow herself to be brought away like this.
“Heh.” Naya scoffed after she came back to her senses. “Is it strange for my belonging to have dropped there? I walked past that place recently and wanted to have a cup of coffee all of a sudden, so I stopped my car in the parking lot to go toa cafe nearby. I must have dropped my brooch then.” :
“Then may I know which cafe you went to?” the police officer asked.
Naya rolled her eyes and continued to explain, “I stopped the car and took a few steps. Suddenly, I didn’t want to drink coffee anymore, so I drove back.”
Naya’s explanation sounded very far-fetched and was not convincing at all.
However, Naya knew that the parking lot in Ava’s apartment was pretty run-down and most of the surveillance cameras were just there for decoration. One did not need a resident’s access card to enter the apartment’s parking lot, so even though her explanation sounded fake, no one could expose her. |
However, Madeline seemed to know that Naya would come up with such an outrageous explanation. She smiled and said.
“Miss Mendez, you must have remembered it wrong. The brooch in your hand didn’t end up in the parking lot that way.”
When Naya heard this, she felt that Madeline might have obtained some more evidence. She pretended to be calm. “Eveline, what are you trying to say now?”
