Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 583

Brenda immediately said, "I didn't know that the special department's principles involve imposing parents' crimes onto their children? Even the children of murderers have to be arrested, right?"

Ruth sighed and looked at her helplessly. "As I said, Captain Brenda, we will not be arresting Ms. Smith. We just want to summon her to answer a few of our questions. Isn't it in her interest to clear her of all suspicions as soon as possible?"

To be honest, according to the rules and regulations, Ruth's approach was appropriate.

She occupied the moral high ground this time.

On the contrary, Brenda's interception at the moment was a bit unreasonable.

As Yvette's only daughter, even if Nora was not involved with the mysterious organization, she was obligated to assist the special department in their investigations.

But... when Ruth became the interrogator, there was no way Brenda would allow Nora to suffer such grievances.

She was about to say more when Nora got up and said, "I want to interrogate the bodyguards."

Ruth and the others were stunned.

A contemptuous smile immediately formed on Ruth's countenance. At once, she said, "What do you mean by that, Ms. Smith? I can understand if you suspect that my proposal is problematic, but this proposal was designed by Black Cat and me. Are you saying that you doubt Black Cat's interrogation abilities?"

She was exactly the one that Nora was suspicious of!

She narrowed her eyes and said, "I have never doubted Black Cat's abilities."

Only then did Ruth nod. "In that case, you don't need to interrogate them. Captain Brenda, if you really refuse to let us take her away, that's okay too. I will ask her a few questions right now and right in front of you. Surely that would do, right?"

Brenda looked at Nora.

Nora stared at everyone outside.

She knew that even she herself would probably have doubted someone in her position, let alone them.

Her mother was a member of the mysterious organization. Even if she wasn't, what was certain at the moment was that she was undoubtedly connected to the mysterious organization!

On top of that, she was being so mysterious. They definitely wouldn't fully trust her.

She nodded. "Ask away."

As expected of someone who once dared to say on a public forum that Black Cat's interrogation methods were problematic, Ruth was certainly skilled when it came to interrogation methods. She went straight to the crux of the matter and asked, "Ms. Smith, I'd like to ask, do you have any impression of your mother?"

Nora remained seated on Brenda's sofa, her posture like a big boss. Her voice was cool and crisp as she slowly replied, "If one could retain their memories from when they were a six-month-old baby, then perhaps I might still have had an impression of her."

Yvette had died a few months after she was born. How would she possibly have any impression of her?

Ruth then asked, "Did she leave you anything?"

Yes, an audio recording.

However, Nora lowered her eyes. She didn't want them to know the content of the recording.

Besides, she was certain that there was nothing related to the case in the recording.

She looked straight at Ruth and answered, "Yes, but it has nothing to do with the case."

Ruth's voice instantly turned stern and severe. "Ms. Smith, please cooperate with our investigation! We will decide whether or not it has anything to do with the case after we verify it. Please tell us what your mother left you and where it is!"

Nora looked straight at her.

Ruth, however, was not afraid. She continued to stare at her as well.

Nora lowered her eyes.

Suddenly, it occurred to her that the Grays had wanted Anthony to marry her even after she became pregnant back then. They must have wanted something that her mother had left behind, right?

Later, Anthony had demanded the small pharmaceutical company that her mother had left behind. She had gone to the company premises and searched it before,

though, but she hadn't found anything useful.

And now, Ruth was asking her if her mother had left her anything...

Although she knew that this was a step in the interrogation process and was also a necessary procedure; had it been someone else who had asked her that question, she might not have thought too much into it. But if it was Ruth...

Why was she getting the feeling that Ruth was also trying to sound her out to find out what that thing was?!

Nora did not speak.
