Chapter 1196
Karolina was in a foul mood because of the prayer beads. Fearing that she would make her mother angry by saying the wrong words, Beatrix made sure to keep her distance from Karolina.
When Beatrix saw a group of plainclothes officers barging in to cuff Sally and Cooper before taking them away in front of everyone, she found herself delighted to witness Sally's embarrassment.
However, at the same time, she was baffled.
Why is Sally getting taken away all of a sudden?
Beatrix raked her gaze across the crowd and saw Eurydice. Although Eurydice only gave her a glance, Beatrix immediately understood what her cousin meant.
She squeezed through the crowd to the front to sneak a few shots of photos, eager to upload them on the internet.
Soon, the news of Specter Corporation's director-cum-CEO getting brought to the police station spread like wildfire on media websites. Even Specter Corporation's shares were getting affected by it.
The company's public relations department hastily started working to resolve the issue.
On the other side of things, once Sally and Cooper were brought to the station, they were led to different interrogation rooms.
Two officers sat down in front of Sally, and one of them asked, “Were you the one who killed Stefan Loake?”
Sally's expression was as icy as her tone. “Stefan's my little brother. Why would I kill him?”
“How dare you lie to us? We've already investigated that hotel,” said the officer in a stern voice. “Stefan invited you to meet at the hotel, and he went missing after that. Even Ninette Dawson, the girl involved in your father's case, is dead. Were you the one who killed her too?”
At that, Sally lifted her head to glance at the two police officers with an indifferent look. “Stefan's missing because I sent him overseas for studies. I was the one who sent him to Baykeep Airport that afternoon, and you can check the airport's surveillance cameras to verify my words. As for Ninette...”
A pause later, she continued, “I believe my father's been wrongfully accused, and I've been looking for ways to prove his innocence. Ninette's the witness for that. If Ninette dies, there's no way I'll ever be able to clear him from the accusations of being a rapist of a minor. In fact, my wish for her to be safe and sound is far stronger than yours. Why would I want to kill her?”
The police officers fell silent.
No matter how harsh their interrogations went, Sally could always respond to them in a logical manner.
In the end, they had no choice but to take Sally to a cell.
