Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 67

! Chapter 67 The officer leaned against his chair, opened his notebook, and looked at Catelyn. He did not look too genial for a peaceful ‘questioning’. Catelyn felt extremely uneasy being interrogated like this. “He was my fiance four years ago. We’re not related in any way.” “According to the victim’s family, the night when Jamie Mason was assaulted, you were at Barricade Club, too. You couldn’t afford to be a patron of the place based on your current level of income, so why were you there? Were you trying to get back with Jamie Mason, and he rejected you because he had a girlfriend? You lost your temper and had a group of people beat him up, correct?” “No! It is not!” Catelyn realized that he was trying to lead her, triggering her in the process. “Jamie was the one who set me up and tricked me into going to that place that night. He got me drunk and even attempted to assault me. Thankfully, a friend of mine came to my rescue, or Jamie Mason would’ve been the one sitting here right now!” The man scribbled something in his notebook, then looked up to ask her, “Friend? Which friend?”

Catelyn did not want to involve Cedrick in this; the photo had created enough rumors and controversy. Plus, he had a fiancee.

She bit her lip and said, “I was drunk and didn’t even have the opportunity to commit a crime. Instead of interrogating me here, you should be investigating Jamie’s bodyguard. I am innocent!”

“Innocent?” The officer snickered and looked at her from the corner of his eyes. “Every criminal who stepped into this room, without fail, told me that they’re innocent. You tell me who saved you that night, and then we can wrap this up and release you.” Catelyn frowned. “I was too intoxicated and couldn’t remember anything…”

Thump! The man slammed the table and eyed her dangerously. “Catelyn, it is your civil duty to cooperate with the investigation. I know you know it very well that the surveillance camera in Barricade Club was faulty that night, so that’s why you keep making excuses. You hired someone to assault Jamie, didn’t you?”

Catelyn shuddered in shock at that statement.

The surveillance camera was faulty?

Was it Cedrick’s doing?

Then again, perhaps slamming Jamie was not something that should be caught on camera.

Her face turned pale.
