Cindy did not expect Quinn to say that and widened her eyes incredulously.
"Quinn, you were clearly standing on top of the staircase when she stabbed me with a knife. I saw you."
Quinn pursed her lips and said no more.
The policemen were momentarily befuddled. After all, the ones on the scene were all distinguished figures. Obviously, this matter should not be handled casually.
Quinn refused to speak the truth, so Cindy placed her only hope on Theo. She looked at him with teary eyes.
"Theowy, you must speak the truth. Tell them that Wanda was the one who stabbed me with a knife."
She was brimming with confidence in thinking that Theo would pick her side. However, even he remained silent.
The ward fell silent all of a sudden. This could not go o n, so a policeman walked up to me and said, "Please come with us, Ma’am."
"Why must she leave with you?"
Miss Woods spread her arms and stood in front of me. "Don't take my young lady away without evidence.
Besides, Miss Wanda is a reputable lady too. Do you know the consequences she’ll have to bear if you take her away?"
The policeman was put in a difficult position.
I sighed and patted Miss Woods’ shoulder. "It’s alright, Miss Woods. I'll go with them."
I stabbed Cindy and had no reason to decline if the police wanted to take me away. Besides, I was not a person who liked running away.
