Chapter 502 If A Dog Bites You
Unfazed, Zephyr let the police officers escort the wailing Isla into the car.
As Zephyr departed, a barely perceptible sigh of relief escaped from the silent Alice.
To her surprise, Zephyr suddenly halted as he reached the main entrance. He cast a cool glance at Alice.
Alice lowered her gaze, rising to stand behind Zephyr. She sighed helplessly. “Caesare, it's all my fault. I should have stopped her when she had harmful intentions.”
Zephyr strode away as if he hadn't heard anything.
Half a minute later, two police officers returned, grasping Alice firmly. “You're accused of harboring a criminal suspect. You're coming with us!”
Alice was at a loss for words.
Not long after Zephyr left with the police officers, Lenora arrived at the police station.
“Nora,” Sophia called out as she saw her, standing up and waving her hand.
“Soph!” Lenora rushed over, excitement coursing through her as she grabbed Sophia's hand, examining her from head to toe. “Thank goodness you're okay. You scared me!”
Sophia wrapped her arms around Lenora, planting a kiss on her face. “If it weren't for your timely discovery, I might have truly been in trouble.”
“It was Zachary who reminded me. I can only say we were lucky. It was too close for comfort.”
“Tyrant Fuller? What's going on?”
Lenora explained how Isla had pushed Harrietta into causing the car accident. “Zachary sensed something was wrong. He suspected Isla was planning to harm me and warned me not to leave the house. Since I stayed home, they couldn't target me, leaving you as the only possible target...”
Sophia was completely taken aback, letting out a gasp of disbelief. “She actually caused Hattie to have a car accident? Is this some kind of mistake? Hattie is her own daughter!”
“I was quite shocked when I first heard the news, but Hattie revealed it herself upon waking up. Zachary also reviewed the surveillance footage.”
“She's completely lost it!” Sophia fumed. “What kind of stroke of fate could have granted her such incredible luck in this life? Even if we catch her now, she'll only be held for a few days at most.”
“Did Zephyr say that?”
“Yeah.”
“She really got off easy! But I'm curious. With you in her grasp, why didn't she try to mess with Zephyr? Instead, she used Hattie to distract Zachary. Why?”
“Who knows? Once we bring her in for questioning, it'll all become clear.”
Sophia pursed her lips.
The police officers inquired about the incident from Lenora, took down her statement, and then confirmed the details with the traffic police department.
With this, another accusation was added to the list against Isla.
As Lenora emerged from the interrogation room and made her way toward Sophia, the glass door suddenly swung open from the outside, accompanied by wails and screams.
Two police officers escorted Isla into the police station.
“Let me go! I need to call my uncle! Let me go!” Isla cried out.
It seemed as though she had been shouting for a long time, as her voice had gone hoarse.
When Sophia saw Isla, she was reminded of her own recent ordeal. Her irritation surged within her, and a fiery spark ignited in her eyes.
Unable to contain herself, she stood up, stormed over to Isla, and slapped her hard twice. “You little wretch, you're despicable, a stupid fool, a dumb b*tch!”
Her loud voice echoed throughout the police station.
It took the two nearby police officers a few seconds to react. They then remembered to pull Sophia away. “Ms. Tortell, calm down!”
Isla's mind was buzzing. Snapping back to reality, she charged at Sophia with fury in her eyes, but the police officers restrained her. All she could do was seethe in helpless rage, stamping her foot. “Sophia! I'll kill you! Just you wait!”
Upon hearing the commotion, the night shift officers all turned their heads in curiosity.
“Officers, you heard it. If I were to meet an untimely death one day, she should be your first suspect!” Sophia stood a safe distance from where Isla couldn't reach her.
The police officers hurriedly ushered Isla inside.
