I pursed my lips and thought for a few seconds before getting into the car.
In the car, they took away my phone.
I looked coldly at them and said, "This is kidnapping."
"We're going through formal procedures to carry out a n investigation against you."
I sneered and said no more.
The car drove to a lawyer’s office, and I was taken into an enclosed room.
The women kept questioning me about which company sent me but I had no way of answering them.
After an hour, I lost my patience and said to them in a cold voice, "This is illegal imprisonment. You have no right to interrogate me either. I want a lawyer."
One of the women said, "You don't need a lawyer, Ms. Lane. No one will give you trouble if you're honest with us."
I was so furious that I laughed. "Alright, I won't call my lawyer now, but can I at least contact my family to let them know that I'm safe?"
The woman said with a frown, "Of course, but the documents you stole are extremely confidential, so for
the safety of your family, I suggest that it's best you don't contact them right now."
"I don’t need you to be so considerate about me. I need to tell my family whether I’m safe or not. I hope you know your place. You have no right to detain me nor stop me from contacting my family."
I had only been in Riverbank City for less than a month. No one except Horton knew about my past, so who exactly set such a huge trap for me?
Why did that person do that?
Seeing that I was insistent about contacting my family, the women agreed but did not pass me my phone. Instead, they told me to wait a little longer.
