Alex raised his eyes and looked at Jewel, who was laughing to her heart’s content. No wonder she was laughing out loud. Was that what she thought of him earlier?
If so, she deserved to be punished!
Nonetheless, hearing her delighted laughter made him feel warm. As long as it made her happy, she could do anything she wanted to..
He rolled his eyes at Jewel and huffed, “You’re not asking me to take my medicine. You’re trying to kill me!”
Three days later, three policemen suddenly. came to the clinic and asked for Jewel. Jewel and Olivia were in the room developing a medicinal powder with self-defense effects when they heard the police looking for her, and they were startled.
Olivia looked at her incredulously. “Why are the police looking for you? Did Phantom call the police?”
Jewel frowned and shook her head. “That’s impossible. She called the ambulance herself. If she wanted to call the police, shouldn’t she have called the police first to preserve the evidence at the scene?”
Olivia was also puzzled. “Let’s go out and have a look. When the two entered the living room, the police were already waiting. “May I know which one of you is Jewel Fenton?”
Just as Jewel was about to take a step forward, Olivia subconsciously stopped her and walked. over with a smile. “What happened? Is there anything I can help you with?”
The police took out a photo of Phantom. “Do you know this person? She was killed in the hospital, and only a note with the name, Jewel Fenton, was left at the scene. We suspect that this is a premeditated revenge. Please come with us!”
At that, Jewel and Olivia were taken aback. “Did you say she’s dead?”
“Yes. She died three days ago, at the hospital,” answered the police. He ordered the two policemen behind him, “Take her with us!”
Two policemen behind her stepped forward. and handcuffed Jewel directly. Ellen had just returned from the market when she saw that the police were about to take Jewel away. She was in shock, so she instinctively stepped forward to stop them.. “Why are you arresting her?”
Olivia added, “Jewel didn’t even visit the hospital three days ago. How could she possibly kill someone?”
With a straight face, the police answered, “We only have preliminary suspicions, so we are asking her to assist in the investigation. Please do not interrupt our investigation.”
Jewel calmed down after the initial panic and said, “Don’t worry, Olivia. They can’t blame me for what I did not do.”
The police didn’t give them any time to bid a proper goodbye before they escorted Jewel away. Just then, Alex also came out of his room. He looked like he had just woken up as he came out with his disheveled hair.
Although his body was still weak, he walked with elegance. “Hold on. Which police station are you from? What evidence do you have to prove that Jewel killed someone?”
The police showed Alex the photo he had in his hand. “This is the handwriting left by Phantom before he died. We have no choice but to request Jewel Fenton to assist us in the investigation. We will not accuse the innocent or release the guilty. Please understand that!”
“What’s the cause of death?” asked Alex.
“She had multiple injuries all over her body. It was initially suspected that her death was caused by severe injuries, but of course, the specifics need to be further investigated.”
After the police finished speaking, he directed the two police officers behind him, “Let’s go!”
“Jewel-” Alex panicked and shouted anxiously. Jewel looked back at him and smiled. “It’s okay. Everything will be fine. The police will find out the truth!”
He could only watch as Jewel was escorted away. He felt anxious as if he had fallen into a boiling pan of hot oil. Then, he took his phone out and called Peter to tell him what happened while adding, “I believe my girlfriend is not involved in the murder. Please help me get your people to take extra care of her. Don’t let her suffer over there. I will investigate this matter thoroughly as soon as possible.”
“Sure. Don’t worry. I’ll inform my men,” replied Peter. Feeling apologetic, Alex replied, “Thanks. I owe you so much by now.”
“Don’t mention it,” said Peter. After hanging up the phone, Alex looked at Olivia. “Is there something that both of you are hiding from me?”
