The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1453

"Officers, I swear I don't know anything. You have to believe me."

Sloane pleaded as she was led to the police car. She tried to maintain her composure, but her fingers were twisted tightly together.

She never imagined Meiko's situation was this severe.

No wonder her father had forbidden her from even asking.

But why hadn't he just told her the truth beforehand?

If she had known, she would never have gone around asking about Meiko.

And Claire, too—if she had warned her earlier that Meiko was dangerous, she never would have...

But it was too late to blame anyone now. She was already on her way to the station.

"We'll determine what you know after our investigation."

The officer was completely unfazed by her protests.

"I really don't know anything! We were just friends. At most, we grabbed dinner and went shopping."

Sloane confessed everything, laying it out without holding back.

"I heard from a junior that Meiko was looking for someone to treat her teacher."

"I don't know who her teacher is. She tried to get my grandfather to help, which is probably why she cozied up to me in the first place."

"But my grandfather is busy, and I can't make decisions for him, so I politely turned her down."

"Later, I heard she took her teacher to Apex to find that junior."

In her eagerness to come clean, Sloane didn't hesitate to throw Claire under the bus.

Subconsciously, she was just trying to protect herself, shifting the focus without malice.

However, the police were already fully briefed on Claire's involvement, so when Sloane tried to redirect their attention to Claire, they completely ignored it.

Claire's statement had been finalized ages ago, thanks to Captain Silas Carl.
