The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: I Need A Lawyer

Sienna clenched her hands tightly together.

"He started standing too close to me," she continued. "I felt uncomfortable, so I tried to leave, but he blocked me. He stopped me forcefully..."

Her breathing became uneven again as the memories replayed vividly inside her mind.

"He grabbed my wrist first. Then he held me tightly and tried to... to kiss me." Her hand clenched tightly.

The officer finally looked up.

"And what did you do?" he asked in his boring tone.

"I pushed him away," Sienna answered immediately. "I told him to stop. I kept telling him to stop."

Her voice began trembling now.

"But he wouldn’t listen."

The room suddenly felt colder.

"He forced himself on me," she whispered painfully. "I tried everything. I pushed him. I struggled. I begged him to stop."

Her breathing hitched.

"But... But his grip was stronger."

The officer remained silent, allowing her to continue.

Sienna pressed her lips together hard before speaking again.

"There was a figure statue on the cabinet," she said quietly. "When he cornered me... I grabbed it and... hit him."

"You hit his head."

"Yes."

"You knew that could seriously injure him?"

Tears finally filled Sienna’s eyes.

"Sir, I wasn’t trying to kill him!" she cried. "I was scared! I didn’t have a choice..."

Her voice echoed painfully inside the small room.

The officer studied her silently.

Then he asked, "Can anyone confirm your statement?"

Sienna nodded immediately.

"Yes. The CCTV." Hope suddenly appeared on her face for the first time since arriving there. "There are two CCTV cameras inside the GM office. Everything should be recorded there."

The officer’s expression changed slightly.

And somehow, that tiny change instantly made fear crawl up Sienna’s spine.

"Miss Adams, regrettably, the CCTV footage can’t help you," he stated in a flat tone.

"What?" Sienna frowned in confusion. "What do you mean, sir?"

"The office cameras are not working."

Just hearing that left her utterly shocked.

For several seconds, she genuinely forgot how to breathe. ’Not functioning? How could? It’s impossible...’

"No... that’s impossible!" Her voice rose. "Someone must have deleted them. Please, sir, you need to check it again."

"Our team already checked. The CCTV system in that office stopped working earlier today." The officer answered calmly.

Sienna stared at him blankly. She could feel her blood draining completely from her face.

Because that footage was her only hope. The only proof that Benjamin attacked her first. The only thing that could save her from this nightmare.

But now, it is gone. Completely gone.

She now truly understood how terrifying her situation was. Because without proof... Nobody would believe her.

"Then what should I do, sir?" she asked nervously. Her trembling voice almost cracked in the middle of the sentence. "How can I convince you that I’m truly innocent?"

The officer leaned back slightly in his chair and released a long sigh that sounded tired rather than sympathetic. Under the cold white light above them, his expression looked unreadable.

"You don’t have any proof," he said honestly. "But Benjamin Foster is living proof that you harmed him."

The words slammed into her chest heavily.

"But I didn’t!" Sienna immediately argued, her voice rising in panic. "I wasn’t trying to hurt him like that! I was only defending myself!"

The officer rubbed his forehead slowly before closing the laptop in front of him.

"I could only suggest you admit your guilt and apologize sincerely to the victim," he said calmly. "Maybe he will forgive you."
