Amber laughed. "I thought she had a change of heart, but it turns out that she couldn't find anywhere to hide.”
Jared looked at her, "What do you want to do with her?"
"Wait, | want to find out the reason.” Amber pinched her palms. Her expression was adamant.
Jared narrowed his eyes, "She didn't say that.”
"No?" Amber was surprised.
Jared fiddled with his fingers for a moment. His voice was sharp. "She did not say a single word about it no matter how many times the police had tried.”
Amber gritted her teeth and said, "Then she's tough.”
"Cole met her. He guessed she got a patron behind, so she refused to say anything.” Jared pursed his lips into a straight line.
Ben went to the police station on behalf of Jared.
According to Ben, the woman would not leak a word even if the police shone a bright light on her. She does not seem to be a tough person. She looks ordinary and weak but acts the other way round.
So, she wouldn't seal her mouth if nothing scared her.
"What's her name?” Amber inhaled a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Jared looked at her, "Sharon Kay.”
It was just a very common name.
"Sharon Kay?” Confusion crawled on Amber's face. She hadn't even heard of it.
So, why would a stranger hither?
Did someone make her?
Questions spined through Amber's mind.
"| want to meet her in the police station tomorrow and ask her personally,’ Amber said in a sulk.
She had to figure it out otherwise she would regret it.
Jared wanted to stop because Amber was a patient.
But looking into her decisive eyes, Jared gave it up.
East Aspen, the Gardner family.
Makayla was nervous after knowing Sharon Kay was arrested. She left the table for her room before finishing dinner.
She sat at her bedside, gasping in astonishment at the news. Anxiety began to rise and overwhelmed her.copy right hot novel pub
She was afraid that Sharon would give her away.
Makayla made a deal with Sharon, who would be the scapegoat for Makayla. Despite her repeat promises, Makayla still didn't believe in her.
Makayla was on edge when she went out with her mom in the afterncon. She was worried that the police would come to take her after watching the news at dinnertime.
Sharon was only a scapegoat.
She met Sharon by chance the day before the accident. After knowing that Sharon needed money badly to save her son, Makayla made a deal with
Sharon She paid for Sharon's son's treatment and Sharon took the blame for her.
So, Makayla came up with a plan. She asked Sharon to prepare men's clothes, meet her at the department store at 5 p.m., and swap clothes with her. She wore Sharon's clothes and went to Kelsington Bay to attack Amber, while Sharon, in the disguise of Makayla, took a taxi back to the urban village and wait for her. Makayla would go to the urban village and swap back with Sharon when it was completed. Makayla was exactly the same height as Sharon, so the plan worked.
After Makayla changed back and returned home, she broke the stick, wrapped it up in some old clothes, and put it in a black garbage bag to throw away.
Makayla was afraid to arouse the police's suspicions, so she brought the props back. There may be her fingerprints. Her plan would fail for any careless detail.
Sharon was timid, so Makayla had to do it herself on Amber. No matter how many times Makayla talked her into it, Sharon didn't want to hurt anyone.
Although Makayla was deep and dark inside, it was the first time she hit someone. When she had to make a move, Makayla was panicked.
But for the sake of her future, she had to brazen it out. After it was done, instead of feeling scared, Makayla was afraid that she would get caught.
But it was reported that Sharon was arrested at about four o'clock in the afternoon. The police hadn't come for the rest few hours. It seemed that Sharon kept her words.
It put Makayla's sense of unease to rest.
She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, stared at the night sky, and murmured softly, "Miss Reed, you can't blame me for this. Everyone is selfish.
You have to be responsible since you and Mr. Cohen brought me to paradise and triggered my greed. If anything, this is all your fault.”
It was nine o'clock the next morning.
Amber asked Cole to take a morning off for herself and set off to the police station.
Cole couldn't convince her, so he found a wheelchair and went with her.
Ben wheeled Jared over as they arrived at the parking lot.
Cole stood with his hands on his hips, and asked defiantly, “What? Are you going to the police station?"
Jared admitted it. "What? There's a little bit of me in finding the attacker. | should go.”
Cole pouted as he said, “If not for this, | wouldn't have let you go."
"Enough, Cole." Amber fumbled to touch Cole and urged weakly, "We only have one morning.”
"Sorry. You know, | can't control myself when | see him. I'll take you to the car.” Cole said as he took out the car keys and opened the door.
Ben cleared her throat to hold back his laughter. He said to Jared, "Mr. Farrell, let's get in the car.”
Jared gave a short reply, but he still stared at Amber right there.
He didn't instruct Ben to wheel him in until Amber got into her car.
The two cars arrived at the police station one after the other, almost ten seconds apart.
Cole wheeled Amber inside.
The police station received a call from Jared and knew about their presence today. So, a police officer took them to see Sharon.
Sharon has been locked up in the interrogation room. The police planned to starve her for the next twenty-four hours. The room was equipped with
bright light. They wanted to drain her energy and push her to give an honest account.
Sharon's looked depressed, but she had stayed mute for the previous ten hours, which troubles the police a lot.
They rarely met someone as tough as Sharon. Generally, the silence was common for a felon.
But Sharon was just an ordinary person who committed a minor crime. Why did she do that?
"You are Sharon Kay!" Cole pushed Amber into the interrogation room and whispered to her that Sharon was across from her.
