Ellinor gave Theo a mocking smile, her face as calm as ever, "Really? You're suspicious of me too, Mr Blanchet?"
Theo smirked, "Suspicious of what? That you sold yourself to a stranger as a graduation gift?"
Ellinor was taken aback and shot him a glare. Was Mr Blanchet really in the mood to joke around at this moment?
However, his sarcastic tone didn't suggest he was suspicious of her.
Ignoring Theo, Ellinor turned to the police officer and asked, "Officer, how should I cooperate with your investigation?"
"You come with me first," the officer responded sternly.
"Ellinor." Marissa nervously grabbed her arm, her face filled with worry.
Giving Marissa an apologetic smile, Ellinor said, "I'm sorry, Granny, I might not be able to have dinner with you today."
Marissa looked shocked, "Ellinor, did you really."
Without further explanation, Ellinor followed the officer to the interrogation room.
As she passed by Veronica, a triumphant smile spread across her face. She smugly said, "Ellinor, did you think you could run home and act like nothing happened? You can't fool me!"
Ellinor stopped in her tracks and looked at her calmly. "Ms Veronica, why are you so sure that woman was me? What did you see? Or do you have any evidence? Do you dare to speak up?"
A flicker of guilt crossed Veronica's face, but she scoffed dismissively. "I didn't see anything, and I have no evidence. It's just my gut feeling! Ellinor, do you still want to argue? Let's see how you explain yourself when the police figure it out!"
Ellinor said nothing more. She lowered her head and silently followed the officer into the interrogation room.
Veronica was pleased with the situation, looking confident and satisfied. "Just wait and see, Brother, Granny. Ellinor's true colours will be revealed soon!"
Marissa was in shock and looked unwell. Collin helped her to a seat in the waiting area of the police station.
