Xyla said nothing but hugged Jeremy in silence.
“I just feel apologetic toward you.” Xyla’s eyes gradually turned red.
“Don’t say such things anymore.” Jeremy gently let go of her. “Say, since she was faking her pregnancy, why wasn’t she exposed when she entered the detention center?”
Jeremy could not figure this out. The doctors outside could be bribed, but after entering the detention center, how could she bribe the doctor in such a short amount of time?
“Maybe she bribed the person who took her blood sample.” She had thought of this question before.
Because once Emily was taken into the police car, she no longer had the chance to contact the outside world. Hence, the possibility of someone helping her from the outside was zero.
The only possibility left was that she had promised the person responsible for her health checkup, and that person caved after hearing Emily’s tempting offer.
After Emily was released, Xyla had secretly hacked into Emily’s phone and realized that Emily had transferred fifteen thousand dollars to an unknown account.
Thus, Xyla confirmed her assumptions.
“She’s really capable!” Jeremy scoffed before his cold expression once again turned into an affectionate as he looked at Xyla. “You’ve done great. A regular person would have reported her fake pregnancy, but you didn’t.”
“It’s better to avoid unnecessary complications.” Xyla smiled.
In fact, the real reason was that she figured, rather than exposing everything and having Emily stay in the detention cell forever, it was better to keep quiet and let her continue causing trouble.
Once she was done, Xyla would just send her back in.
That would not affect anything at all.
Moreover, with these cases of bribing and cheating the law enforcement officers, Emily’s sentence would only grow more severe.
“What about you?” asked Xyla.
