The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1117

Nina was scared out of her wits, forcing herself to stay calm. She crouched down, pretending to be fascinated by the little crabs in a bucket.

A female officer approached, "Can we have a word with Ms. Stirling? Nothing serious, just to understand what happened at the time."

Aurelia stepped forward, "I was there too, we're happy to cooperate with you both."

She beckoned Nina over, "Come here, Nina."

Nina didn't want to budge, but she knew the more she avoided them, the more suspicious the police would become.

"Oh," Nina replied with a small voice and scurried over.

Aurelia took her to the pavilion up front, which was providing some welcome shade.

The officer pulled out two photos of the deceased, "Ms. Stirling, do you recognize them?"

Nina glanced at the pictures, replying, "They look like the celebrities who were shooting a video in the palm grove yesterday."

"Celebrities?" The officer seemed taken aback, "You're saying they were celebrities?"

"Yeah, I always see them filming in the park. They definitely had that vibe and their acting was on point," Nina said, bobbing her head. Her innocence was her greatest asset.

The officer couldn't help but smile. She was dealing with someone of a higher status, and the chief had insisted she be friendly and gentle.

"So, you offered them chocolates?"

"Mhmm," Nina nodded.

"How many did you give?"

"Two, one to the guy and the other to the pretty lady."

Nina answered honestly, knowing that honesty would keep her above suspicion.

"Why not to the other lady?"

Nina scratched her head, "Aunt Aurelia called me over, so I left. Do you want some chocolate too, Officer? I'll treat you."
