After listening, the man extinguished the cigarette in his hand and pressed the butt onto the trash can lid.
"Let's go, let's meet the prisoner that you talked about in the interrogation room," he ordered in a low voice.
"Yes, sir!" The young policeman followed with excitement, feeling fortunate that he could witness Mr. Murillo interrogating the prisoner. It was an extremely thrilling opportunity!
As the others left the interrogation room one by one, Danielle thought they were afraid. Feeling smug, she didn't anticipate the arrival of someone who looked even more difficult to talk to – the cold-faced beast.
The man was over six feet tall, with sharp eyes and a stern face. It was as though his oppressive aura made the already dim and constricted room feel even smaller. He sat down at the table, removed his hat, and placed it on the desk.
His steely gaze fixed on Danielle. His voice was cold as he asked, "Why did you kill her?"
Danielle was somewhat afraid of Gordon. She bit her lip, trying to play it cool, and used her old excuse. "I didn't kill her. She crashed into me. How many times do I have to say it? Fine, I'll just remain silent, and let my lawyer speak to you guys!"
After cursing all morning, she hadn't even taken a sip of water. Her neck was still hurting now.
"A lawyer?" Gordon spat out the two words with sarcasm. He looked at Danielle piercingly and coldly laughed, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to wait for your lawyer. The Parry family has gone bankrupt!"
"No way! What about my brother? Let me make a call and ask him myself."
"Just ten minutes ago, the Parry Group announced bankruptcy and was acquired at a low price by the Berry Group. Danielle, you no longer have the capital to be so arrogant. I advise you to cooperate with our investigation, otherwise your crime will be considered even more serious!" Gordon said as he slapped a copy of the latest daily paper in front of Danielle.
The headlines in bold red letters caught her attention in the dim light of the room.
[The Parry Group's stock plummeted this morning.]
[Mr. Parry and his ex-girlfriend's affection reignited. They had an affair in the office, accidentally injuring his fiancee.]
[Nora Suffering A Tragic End.]
[Jane Triumphantly Returns, Mr. Parry Begs to Reunite.]
[Nora Pregnant Before Marriage And Miscarried, Hospitalized For Observation.]
[The Parry siblings have encountered difficulties. It is truly regrettable!]
A newspaper only had eight sections, and the Parry family took up seven of them. The last page was only a small advertising space which occupied only one-tenth of the overall page.
Danielle never thought that she would one day become famous, let alone by being featured in this way.
After reading the newspaper, her face went from arrogant to pale and dejected as she slumped back onto her chair.
"Why aren't you confessing right now?"
The willpower that could be seen was critically damaged. Sensing this, Gordon seized the opportunity to slam the table and stand up. His overbearing aura towered over her.
Not only Danielle, but even his subordinates behind him were frightened. Gordon's presence was too strong.
If he encountered a criminal who wasn't particularly strong-willed, they probably wouldn't even need to interrogate them; just a glance from him would be enough to make them confess on their own.
"I... I didn't mean to."
Finally, even this "tough nut" had become pliable. Danielle lowered her head and admitted her wrongdoing.
The Foley Group.
Sunshine streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, illuminating the space.
