But proving her innocence herself would inevitably lead to more suspicion.
So Aria had no intention of proving her innocence while she was at the center of the storm.
Aria was scrolling on her phone and fell asleep without realizing it.
Ring, ring, ring—
Her phone suddenly blared.
Aria was startled awake and quickly looked at the screen. It was a call from the police.
It was three in the morning.
A call at this hour...
Aria quickly answered. "Hello, is there a problem?"
The officer said, "Ms. Rowan, you are currently a person of interest in a murder case. Please come to the nearest police station immediately to cooperate with our investigation."
Aria's heart sank. "Is there any evidence proving I committed murder?"
"No comment. If you don't cooperate, we will come to your residence to request your cooperation."
"I'll cooperate."
After hanging up, Aria splashed some water on her face and then explained the situation to her lawyer.
The police hadn't come to arrest her directly, which probably meant they had no direct evidence, just a degree of suspicion.
Her lawyer advised her that it was best to cooperate with the investigation.
At this point, Aria had no choice but to get dressed and head over.
She couldn't drive. She maneuvered her wheelchair out of the elevator to find the streets completely empty, without a single taxi in sight.
Even on her ride-sharing app, the screen was stuck on the waiting page.
"Hello, do you need any help?"
A gentle voice spoke up.
Aria turned to look.
