Leon was then called out.

Lucinda removed a centurion card in her bag, gave it to Leon and whispered something in his ear.

After that, both Lucinda and Nathaniel were handcuffed and taken into the police car.

In the car, Lucinda sat quietly, expressionless and enjoyed the view outside.

Nathaniel looked her over and noticed that her wrists, under the handcuffs were red.

He was annoyed, but he couldn’t ask them to take it off.

What he could do was hold Lucinda’s wrist and rub it, so he did just that.

“Does it hurt?”

Lucinda wasn’t a sort of delicate flower that couldn’t handle something so small.

But since Nathaniel clearly wanted to care for her, she let him do.

Alvina and Tess wrapped in bandages, were already seated in the interrogation room at the police station when Nathaniel and Lucinda arrived.

Tess insisted on coming despite her condition just so she could see with satisfaction as Lucinda would be locked in jail.

As soon as Lucinda noticed Tess seated opposite looking like a work of art, she burst into laughter.

“Oh, Miss Green! Honestly, I should be moved by your efforts.

I mean, you looked past you pain just to come here.

I admire you really.

Tess hurt so bad that she couldn’t even open her mouth to speak properly.

She and Alvina just glared back at Lucinda viciously.

Amon entered the room when they were all seated and started the interrogation.

“Mrs.

Green, do you recognize the person that broke into your house last night and committed the crime?”

Amon pointed at both Nathaniel and Lucinda.

While Lucinda smiled calmly, seemingly unbothered, Nathaniel maintained a straight face.

Neither of them seemed like the type she could afford to offend.

Alvina had first pointed at just Lucinda resentfully.

But on second thought, she wondered why she should let Nathaniel go.

“She is the mastermind, and he is the accomplice,” she said.

Amon took out pictures of Tess that was taken after the assault and showed them to Lucinda.
