The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1734

Police never like the attitude of rich and arrogant young men. Hence when they chanced upon a reason to detain Black, they took it happily.

Black was forcefully pressed to the ground by the police. Ronald, on the other hand, was covering his face with his hands, pretending to be badly hurt. Then he started to mumble something about suing Black for what he had done.

Holley never thought that Black would hit Ronald. She looked at Black, unable to say anything. At this moment, it seemed like her ability to speak was diminished.

'It was between him and me, but now there is a third person involved! What am I going to do about it?' Holley thought to herself.

The police kept them in three separate rooms, which was a necessity according to their regular routine. Then, they started to interrogate them, one by one.

Black didn't say anything in front of the police. He knew that Rex must be on his way, so there wasn't any need to say anything in self-defense. 'Rex will be able to get me out of this mess. I need not put in any effort, ' Black thought with smug satisfaction.

But Holley had no one to defend her. She had to rely on herself. With determination, she thought, 'I have to make them believe that I was trapped.' But when they went to Ronald, he said that Holley was the one who had seduced him. He profusely blamed her for everything. Due to their contradictory claims, the police inspectors were baffled.

After a while, the officer lost his temper and slammed his fist down on the desk. He yelled at Ronald, "You! Let me tell you something. We know everything about you, so don't try to hide anything. We know about your criminal record, and we also found several prior convictions. Don't pretend to be innocent in front of us. That facade won't work here. If you admit your guilt right now, we will offer you a lenient punishment. But, if we find out that you are lying, you will be punished even harder. Do you understand?"

Initially, this police officer had behaved nicely. Hence, Ronald hadn't expected he would change his attitude so quickly. He clearly noticed that the officer was threatening him. And he also knew that it was not just an empty threat. The officer meant what he said.

With that thought in mind, Ronald lowered his head, not answering anything for a while.

When the officer saw him behaving like that, he thought that Ronald was still planning to waste their time by beating around the bush, so he started yelling again, "Do you understand?! Answer me, Ronald!"

Ronald was shocked by his words. He suddenly looked up and stared into the officer's eyes. "Okay. I'll speak up. I'll say whatever I know."

Ronald didn't dare to lie again, so he told the police everything that had happened, which was similar to Holley's claim.

The officer got angry upon hearing his words. "I knew it! I knew you were lying. Liar! Wait and see. You're going to pay for your lies!"

It was not a big deal, but Ronald had wasted a lot of time by withholding the truth. Hence, it was only fair for the police to get furious. He had made their job difficult.

At the same time, Black, who was in the room next to Ronald's, carried on remaining silent. No matter how hard the police questioned, he just refused to answer. The police couldn't do anything about it.

The condition of the police officer in Holley's room was not any better either. He couldn't get any detailed answers. It was a sensitive topic, so Holley was ashamed to talk about it. His embarrassment intensified when she cried. In short, the police couldn't squeeze much information out of her. Her sobs intervened in his attempts.

Therefore, the only one who was able to talk at that time was Ronald. He told almost everything to the police, honestly and clearly. Then, he looked at the officer in front of him with expectation in his eyes. "Officer, I've already told you everything that I know. Am I allowed to go now?"

"What? You think that we are running a hotel here? Do you think you can leave as you please?" the officer roared as he looked at Ronald seriously.

Upon hearing his words, Ronald knew that there was no chance for him to escape. With no option, he decided to shut his mouth and stay there.

After Ronald told the police everything, he was detained. His words proved that Holley was innocent. If anyone came to bail her out, she would be able to leave immediately. However, after Black hit Ronald so impetuously, the only one who could bail Holley out was detained in the room next to hers.

Just when Holley was racking her brain for ways to escape, Rex entered the police station.
