Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345 She Directed It 

Emelie pushed the two photos forward. 

“These two men look familiar. They stopped me last night after work to ask if Skyline Heights was nearby.” 

The two officers were unmoved. They produced another photo, showing the two men from surveillance footage asking her for directions. “They handed you a phone. They were just asking for directions?” 

Emelle nodded. “That’s right.” 

“If it was just for directions, why would you all avoid the surveillance footage?” 

Emelle was taken aback “Avold the surveillance footage? I didn’t avoid them. I was heading to the subway station when they stopped me at that corner, so we talked there. It’s not a secluded area. It’s just a few meters from the main road.” 

The officers said nothing. 

Emelie parsed her lips. “If we were really avoiding the cameras, they wouldn’t have captured us, would they? But they did. 

The male officer pointed out, “Although you were captured, the footage isn’t clear, and you seem to have purposely avoided the camera’s view.” 

At that point, Emelie understood. “Did these two men assault Elena?” 

The male officer said, “We can’t disclose specific details of the case, but these two men have fled. We haven’t caught them.” 

Emelle clenched her fist, her heart sinking. 

It was no wonder that their questions seemed off. 

She looked straight Into their eyes and calmly stated, “Just because I had contact with these two men, you’re suspecting that I hired them to assault Elena?” 

Her face paled. How did she get involved in all that? 

Emelle straightened up and solemnly declared, “I wasn’t me. I never did anything like that. They just asked me for directions, and the phone they showed me had a map on it. You can zoom into the surveillance footage.” 

A flash of realization crossed her mind. “The surveillance angle didn’t capture the phone screen, did it?” 

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have accused her of trying to avoid the cameras on purpose. 

The female officer softened her tone upon sensing Emelie’s hostility. “Ms. Hoven, don’t worry. Just answer our questions and cooperate with the investigation.” Emelie wasn’t afraid of having to confront the police. She hadn’t done anything wrong, but she had a hunch that the incident would stick to her and bring her endless troubles. 

“It’s true that I did nothing. There were just some misunderstandings between me and Elena, not deep–seated hatred. Why would I go to such lengths in hiring her assaulters over that?” 

Yet the police needed evidence. Her dental wasn’t enough. They asked more questions, including the nature of her dispute with Elena and who she had met the night before. 

Emelie answered everything while controlling her emotions. She revealed everything she knew without hesitation, even when both questions involved William. After the interrogation, Emelle was told that she couldn’t leave Weston temporarily. She might need to cooperate further and was expected to do so at all times. Emelie didn’t agree. “I’m not a suspect. Why restrict my movements? If you insist, I will notify my lawyer 

They simply said, “You’re free to hire a lawyer, We’re done with our questioning. You may leave now.” 

As soon as Emelie lett the office, she called Ashley. 

walking down the corridor, she encountered Elena and Charles, who were also summoned to cooperate with the Investigation
