Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 205

Before Emily could react, she was arrested by two policewomen.

Joyce shouted anxiously, "What are you doing? Why do you arrest her?""She's a wanted criminal. Now that she's finally back. We have to bringher back for interrogation.” The leading man said righteously.

After saying that, he waved his hand, ignoring Joyce's screams andBryce's cries, and took Emily to the police car.

"Mom, mom." Bryce wailed

He was only a three-year-old child and had never seen such a scenebefore. When he saw her mother being taken away, he was frightened.Joyce was also a mother and quickly covered Bryce's eyes. She said toBryce, "Good boy, don't cry. Your mom just has to deal with something.She'll be back soon. Don't cry.”

"You're lying. They're the police. The police only catch bad people. Whydid they catch mom?" Bryce asked sobbing.

Joyce didn't expect him to be so smart as a three-year-old boy torealize the relations so clearly and she didn't know how to answer him.Fortunately, Sebastian came out. Joyce quickly told him what hadhappened in a low voice and handed Bryce, who was crying, to him.Sebastian thought for a while and said, “Let's go replace the child's fatherfirst! He needs to know about this."

Joyce nodded and quickly carried Bryce to the hospital with Sebastian.Bryce was very observant and accurately recalled which ward his fatherwas in and took them there.

Emily, on the other hand, sat in the police car, still confused.

When she was locked up in the police station, she urgently asked, "Whydid you arrest me? What crime have I committed?"

"You are the suspect of a murder case four years ago. We've beenlooking for you for four years.” The policeman said expressionlessly.Emily widened her eyes and understood instantly.

The murder case four years ago? It could only be the case pertaining toFranklin.

"But isn't he all right now?" Emily asked.

She thought that since Franklin had recovered and known the wholestory, he must have dropped the lawsuit.

"Although the victim has recovered, the fact that you're a murderremains unchanged. For four years, the victim has never quitedbringing you to justice," the policeman said.

Emily was speechless.

She wanted to curse. What was Franklin trying to do? He knew clearlythat she was innocent, but why didn't he drop the lawsuit?

"I want to see Franklin. Let me see him." Emily said eagerly.

Although she was at sea, she had a hunch that she could only solve thismatter after seeing him.

"We can't make that decision. You can replace your lawyer,” the policemansaid coldly.

After that, he left Emily there alone.

Emily slapped the iron bars hard and shouted, "Don’t go. Please helpme!"

But no matter how she shouted, no one came to her.

Emily flopped down to the ground feebly. She never thought that shewould be thrown into prison. She was in a fluster, having no idea whatto do next.

She was detained for the whole afternoon, and the police didn't comeuntil night.

She was brought to the interrogation room. Emily could not help butshield her eyes with the back of her hand from the glaring light, whichfrightened her even more.

“Tell your name, age, and hometown." The policeman asked rigidly.There was a policeman and a policewoman here. The policeman had asullen and ghastly face while the policewoman looked much tendered,taking notes with a pen.

Emily told them the information they asked.

Then the policeman asked again, "Four years ago, you were suspectedof murder, and then ran away. Where did you run?"

"I didn't murder anyone." Emily explained in a haste.

"Be honest. if you didn't kill anyone, why did you escape?” The policescolded.

Emily was so aggrieved that she choked and said, "If I hadn't escaped, Iwould have faced slander! The situation was very complicated at thattime. If I didn't run, Mrs. Brent would definitely accuse me of murder.Franklin was unconscious then. I had no one to prove my innocence.”"Can you prove your innocence now?" The policeman asked.

Emily nodded quickly and said, "Of course. I didn't murder him fouryears ago. Franklin and I were sitting in the same car. We were a lovingcouple at that time. Why would I murder him? It was Andrew whodrove into us and caused the car accident. I didn't want to leave, butAndrew took me away. When I managed to escape from him, I wasalready charged with murder so I had to leave. You can attest to mywords with Andrew. It really had nothing to do with me."

"Hmph, you're so good at fabricating stories. We've got the confessionof the truck driver at the time. He said that you bribed him to sabotageMr. Franklin's car on purpose. In other words, you wanted to kill Mr.Brent. What do you have to say to that?"

The police slapped a piece of paper on the table and yelled at Emily.Emily quivered and said with her head shaking, "No, no, it's not true. Letme see Franklin. He knows the truth. I can make it clear to him."

"Okay, I see.” The policeman then spoke to his earphones, seeminglyconnecting with the outside.

Soon, he looked at Emily and said, "Mr. Brent wants to see you. You canplead with Mr. Brent. As long as he is willing to forgive you and nothold you accountable, you still have a chance to go out.”

"He wants to see me?" Emily asked happily.

She felt relieved. As long as Franklin was willing to see her, she stillstood a chance. Franklin knew that she was wronged. It must have beenthat he had forgotten to drop the case at that time, so she was arrestedtoday.

If Franklin could testify that she was clean, she would be fine.

The policewoman took her to a small room. She thought it would belike what she saw on TV that there would be a piece of glass betweenthem and she could only communicate with him through a phone.However, it was not that at all. There was a table in the small room, andthe two of them were sitting opposite without any policeman around.They were allowed to talk alone.

Emily's eyes became red at the sight of Franklin and said anxiously,"Franklin, tell the police that it wasn't me that year. I didn't murderyou."

Franklin looked at her with a heavy gaze. After a while, he slowlyopened his mouth and said something that shocked her. "Didn't you?""Franklin, what do you mean? Do you suspect me too?" Emilyscreamed. Franklin's words shocked her.

Franklin looked at her with his unfathomable eyes. After a long time, hesaid in a deep voice, "Emily, it was my idea not to drop this case. I wasthe one who informed the police about your return. Don't you think it'stoo stupid to beg me to vindicate you to them?"
