Michael had figured out what really happened.
The policeman then questioned Sophia, “What do you have to say about the testimonies of Mr. Harper and Miss Huff?”
Unperturbed, Sophia replied, “I was in the hotel room at that time, so I think the accusation of Mr. Harper and Miss Huff against me is nothing more than a fabrication.”
She then elaborated, “Two months ago, Mr. Harper was involved in a kidnap case, and I was the victim. As far as I’m concerned, Mr. Harper is awaiting his trial.”
Seeing the change in Richard’s expression, Sophia said coldly, “Mr. Harper, while waiting for the trial, you’re limited to live and work in a certain area. If you want to leave that area, you have to get permission from the relevant government body. Mr. Harper, did you have permission to go to the film studio?”
The policeman took a look at Richard, as he didn’t expect that the latter was involved in a criminal case.
Sophia continued, “My lawyer is on his way here, and I’ll leave the rest to him.”
With a frown, the policeman completed the statement and left the room.
At that instant, only a few people were left in the interrogation room.
Olivia stood straight up in a fury. “Sophia, I suggest that you admit your crime quickly. There’s no use denying it. Even if you escape unscathed this time, my family and Taylor will never let you off!”
Knowing that the police were watching them from somewhere else, Xyla persuaded, “Sophia, you’ve committed a serious crime. Even if you can leave the police station this time, there’s no guarantee that you won’t be convicted in the future. Richard and I saw what happened, so stop denying it. There were other witnesses around that place as well!”
Sophia kept her mouth shut.
Wanting to destroy Sophia, Xyla continued to coax her, saying, “There are security cameras around that place. Even if the police don’t trust Richard’s testimony, the security footage will be the proof.”
However, Sophia remained silent.
Seeing that, Xyla decided to stop persuading her. It was alright if the police didn’t trust her, for it would be enough that the Murrays trusted her.
Even if Sophia could escape imprisonment, there was no way the Murrays would let her off the hook.
Seeing that Sophia wasn’t willing to admit her crime, Olivia clenched Michael’s sleeve and begged, “Taylor, please say something. James is the only son of the Murray Family, but he’s impotent now… Taylor! Taylor!”
Hearing that, Sophia refuted, “Are you saying that Taylor isn’t a son of the Murray Family? As long as he’s here, there will still be descendants for the Murray Family!”
Her words infuriated Olivia. “Taylor isn’t really a son of the Murray Family!”
Michael raised an eyebrow upon hearing that, but he remained silent.
That’s right. The Murrays have always preferred sons to daughters. To the Murrays, the daughters are not even considered humans, as they are just tools to provide for the Murray Family!
Olivia realized that she said the wrong thing and continued nervously, “Taylor, you know that James is the only son of our generation. Now that he’s impotent—”
Finally, Michael said, “Let’s wait for the police’s judgment.”
Knowing that she had hurt Michael’s feelings, Olivia dared not utter a word anymore.
Although the stage name for Michael was Taylor Murray, he wasn’t part of the Murray Family. Everyone knew this fact, but it shouldn’t be said out so publicly.
A while later, the police came to inform Sophia that she could leave. Meanwhile, it was found out that Richard was indeed awaiting trial and didn’t have permission to go out. Therefore, the police demanded that he returned to Bayside City and reported himself at the police station there immediately.
Since the case was pending investigation, Olivia and the others had no choice but to leave.
