The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120: Murder Case

"I..." Sienna’s lips trembled, but she pushed herself to calm. "I only defend myself. And... I even held myself back... I did not try to kill him..."

But whatever she said, no one believed her.

Belinda continued to give her a dagger-sharp look.

Benjamin continued groaning painfully on the floor while blood slowly stained his hand and shirt.

The terrifying scene made Sienna feel even more panicked.

’What if he truly got seriously hurt?’

’What if people believed his accusation?’

’What if... I really ended up in prison?’

The horrifying thought instantly made tears gather in her eyes.

Sienna quickly shook her head, trying to push those horrifying thoughts aside.

’I was simply protecting myself,’ she screamed in her mind, her hands clutched tightly. ’...This scum tried to force himself on me. He grabbed me and tried to kiss me.’

But despite knowing the truth, fear still consumed her completely. Because now, looking around the office, everything looked bad for her.

And the worst part was that she suddenly realized nobody here would stand by her side.

...

It all happened so quickly...

The police officer finally arrived. The chaos around her blurred, almost unreal, as if she had suddenly been thrown into somebody else’s nightmare without warning.

Benjamin lay half unconscious on the floor, blood now slowly running from his slightly opened forehead.

Employees gathered outside the office in panic, whispering among themselves while staring at her like she was some dangerous criminal.

And before Sienna could even properly breathe, before she could explain what had truly happened, the police already looked at her with suspicion written clearly across their faces.

One thing stayed firmly in her mind. ’Sienna, do not say anything without a lawyer. Do not make any statement to the official investigator...’

Her chest tightened.

She shook her head, forcing herself to remain calm.

’Calm down, Sienna... calm down... everything will be all right.’

But honestly, nothing felt all right. Not when Benjamin’s blood was still fresh on the carpet. Not when the employees kept staring at her with horrified expressions.

And definitely not when one of the police officers approached her with handcuffs in his hand.

The moment the cold metal locked around her wrists, she felt something inside her crack.

She feels humiliated and terrified.

The handcuffs felt like proof that nobody believed her.

"Miss Adams, you are required to accompany us to the police station for an official inquiry."

Sienna slowly lifted her eyes toward the officer. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out. In the end, she only nodded weakly.

Her knees felt strangely numb as the officer guided her outside the office building.

The employees standing in the hallway immediately stepped aside. Some stared openly. Some whispered behind their hands. Some looked disgusted.

One woman even pulled her friend closer as if she might suddenly attack someone again.

Sienna lowered her head immediately, gritting her teeth hard enough to make her jaw ache. She kept her eyes on the floor until she climbed into the police car.
