Isabella Weaver was successful in negotiating with the magazine company, and at noon, the editor-in-chief specially invited her for lunch.
After lunch, as she walked out of the restaurant, several police officers surrounded her.
"Isabella Weaver?"
"That’s ."
"Soone has reported that you’re involved in a kidnapping and disappearance case. Please co with us!"
Isabella was taken into the police car amidst the editor-in-chief’s shocked gaze, her expression cold. The collaboration, which had seed so certain, would likely fail due to this upheaval.
It seems that even with Christopher Weaver missing, so people are still unwilling to let her go, determined to destroy her life.
Entering the police station, she imdiately saw Ella Weaver, dressed in a scarlet Chanel suit.
She was crying pitifully, pushing the appearance of a weak victim to the extre.
A young police officer accompanied her, holding coffee in his right hand and tissues in his left, comforting her with a face full of concern.
Isabella walked over with a cold tone: "Ella, did you report this? I’ve already said, their disappearance has nothing to do with ."
Ella wiped her tears and said, "Isabella, I also think you have nothing to do with Mom and Dad’s disappearance, but cousin insisted I report it. He said you were deceived into marriage, and the man who tricked you is the real culprit! Tell the police about the man so they can catch him! Don’t worry, this officer is my good friend. As long as you explain about that man, even if you’re an accomplice, they won’t hold you responsible!"
"Alexander Parker got you to do this?"
"Yes, it’s him. You know, he’s very smart, I trust him!"
Ella’s eyes glinted with cunning: Alexander, don’t you like Isabella Weaver? Then I’ll make Isabella hate you!
Isabella was not angry; she just said calmly, "It has nothing to do with my husband. I was not deceived into marriage. Our marriage was consensual. I have nothing to explain."
The police officer put down his things, then slamd the table forcefully: "What kind of attitude is this? Cooperate with our investigation properly! Christopher Weaver, who’s missing, is a leading figure in the watch industry, renowned for his contributions to the national economy. There can’t be any mistakes!"
"Officer, my surna is Weaver; I’m Christopher Weaver’s daughter. His biography doesn’t need your introduction."
"You... what?"
Ella replied apologetically: "Danny, I’m sorry, I haven’t had ti to tell you. She’s my younger sister, she’s young and ignorant, caused trouble, and I thought family scandals shouldn’t be aired in public. I was afraid you’d laugh at , so I kept her identity secret. You wouldn’t bla , right?"
Her words were both apologetic and restrained, seemingly a magnanimous older sister infinitely tolerant of her sister, coupled with teary eyes and a gentle tone, making the police officers not inclined to argue with her, and instead, increasingly unhappy with Isabella.
Danny was direct: "Why would I bla you? With such a big incident happening, you can still remain calm and protect your sister’s reputation. That’s already amazing, truly worthy of being a lady raised by the Watch King! Don’t worry, I’ll surely help you find your parents!"
"Danny, thank you so much! You really understand . I’ll leave my sister to you, and when my parents co ho, I’ll definitely bring you a banner in gratitude!"
Ella looked sorrowful and frightened, yet strong, quickly winning many people’s hearts.
She went around politely thanking each police officer, her image perfectly executed.
Ella’s mind may not work well at Alexander’s level, not truly "as dumb as a pig" as Alexander says, but rather because Alexander’s intelligence is too high, she was outmatched.
Among ordinary people, Ella’s scheming mind is absolutely sufficient.
