My Darling, My Dearest
Chapter 223 Giving A Statement

Baron didn't notice the man's disdain.

Some of the guests didn't know what had just happened in the garden. Howard returned to the banquet hall as if nothing had happened.

But he still couldn't help feeling worried. He didn't want the banquet to turn into a mess, so he tried to comfort everyone inside. Fortunately, the man who got injured was not invited by him. He didn't know who had brought the man here.

Howard didn't worry about the man. After all, he had already sent some people to follow him. He would know if something happened. What he was trying to do was not to make things worse here.

His stepson was here. If he left, his stepson might cause trouble.

Howard had just called Andy to ask him about the situation.

Apparently, Andy didn't want to talk to him. But still, Howard expressed his concern for Bill.

Andy didn't tell him much about what really happened to Bill. He just said indifferently, "He's been treated, so he's okay now."

Howard replied to him in a low voice, "I still need to deal with some troubles here. I'll come to see him later."

Andy snorted sarcastically upon hearing what he said.

Afraid that Andy would misunderstand him, Howard quickly explained, "Mrs. Fu is also there, right? It's her husband who is in trouble. He is in the police station now, so I need to go there first." Howard was just trying to coax Andy, but he didn't know that Andy immediately returned to the ward upon hearing what he said.

Andy started to care for Rachel since she had saved Bill.

Knowing that Jack was in trouble, Andy couldn't help worrying about Rachel. He thought that since something bad happened to her husband, she deserved to know it.

Howard's purpose in telling Andy about what happened to Jack was to have a valid reason for not coming to the hospital immediately. He didn't expect that Andy would let Rachel know.

When Rachel heard that Jack was in trouble, she was very anxious. She asked Andy the details, but he couldn't answer her questions. Since she couldn't remain settled, she borrowed Andy's phone and called Howard. She did her best to sound calm on the phone. "Mr. Wu, it's me, Rachel."

In the police station, Jack was waiting outside while Celine was taken to the interrogation room.

The interrogation room door was closed, so no one knew what was going on inside.

While waiting, Jack thought of what happened earlier. He was still in doubt about why Celine would be in a dark garden with a man.

Anyone would possibly think of something.

From what happened in the villa earlier, everyone thought that Celine was forced by the man, and she hurt him to defend herself.

But Celine used a knife that was from the dining room. If she wasn't prepared for it ahead of time, how could she bring a knife from the dining table to the garden?

Jack came to a realization when this question popped up in his mind.

If Celine brought the knife with her intentionally, it only proved that she really had the purpose of hurting the man. Perhaps she had already anticipated what would happen, so she came prepared. What was the relationship between Celine and that man? Why did she have to see him in the dark and brought a knife with her?

These thoughts gave Jack a headache, so he decided not to rack his brains for answers anymore. Anyway, the police would figure it out after their investigation.

Chief Ren was working overtime that day.

When he heard that a big man was taken to the police station, he personally came to check on him.

He also knew that the Fu family had a good relationship with the government, so he decided to help Jack.

Jack briefly explained to him what happened.

After hearing Jack's story, Chief Ren thought for a while. Although he didn't know Celine, she must be someone important to Jack, or else he would not accompany her here in the police station. Could she be his mistress? After all, he had seen Jack's wife before.

If that was the case, he needed to do something for them.

Chief Ren hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Fu, please stay here. I'll go and ask the result of the interrogation."

"Thank you very much, Chief Ren. But I don't think it's a good idea for you to ask about this in person," Jack interrupted Chief Ren unhurriedly. "Let's do everything based on the normal procedure. Whether she is innocent or guilty, I believe that your policemen know how to investigate properly. What's important is, we do things according to the law."

When Rachel was here last time, Jack asked Chief Ren a favor. But this time, he wouldn't want to owe anything from him anymore. After all, it was Celine who was involved.

Jack knew that the police would take anyone involved for investigation. But since the police had mistakenly involved Rachel at that time, Jack had to use his family's power to settle everything.

But this time was different. Jack doubted if Celine was really innocent, so he couldn't just casually use the power of the Fu family to deal with this matter.

Besides, he didn't want to always rely on his family's influence to do everything he wanted.

Jack wanted to consider carefully if the problem was worth to use his family's power.

"Mr. Fu, what if...?" Chief Ren stammered. As a smart man, he had already understood what Jack meant. But he was still hesitant.

He thought that since Jack had come here in person, he should at least do him a favor.

But judging from his words, it seemed that Jack didn't care about that woman at all. Chief Ren grew a little suspicious. He was about to say something, but Jack spoke again.

"But Chief Ren, if there is something I don't understand, I may still have to bother you." Chief Ren felt relieved after hearing what Jack said. At least, he would still ask for his help.

He smiled and said, "My pleasure, Mr. Fu." But all of a sudden, Chief Ren seemed to realize something.

What if this would cause him trouble? He didn't think he would welcome it.

If Celine would be proven guilty of deliberately hurting that man, and Jack would ask for his help, it would be complicated.

He wouldn't want to offend anyone from the Fu family, but he also wanted to be fair in dealing with investigations.

He was afraid of getting exposed to the public in the future. His and the whole police station's reputation would be ruined.

As much as possible, Chief Ren didn't want to be involved in such complicated situations that wouldn't do good on him.

But he really couldn't figure out what Jack was thinking.

A few moments later, Chief Ren had decided to leave, thinking that Jack might feel uncomfortable if he stayed longer. He didn't want Jack to have a bad impression on him because it might cause him trouble

too.

After a short while, Celine's interrogation was done. Actually, it wasn't really an interrogation. She just gave her statement about what happened before and after the incident.

Her key was the man. If he was severely injured, she would be in big trouble.

But they hadn't gotten the result from the hospital yet. Although they could temporarily detain Celine in the police station, they couldn't file any charges against her for now. And as soon as her lawyer came to bail her, she would be released.

The police were already familiar with the process, so they were used to it.

Celine was actually scared. A lot of thoughts were running in her mind. Since there was no news from the hospital yet, her anxiety was evident on her pale face.

What if she stabbed that man to death, and she would end up in jail? Would Jack save her? Would he use his family's influence to make her innocent?

She was not sure about these two things, so when the police asked her earlier, she didn't dare to give detailed answers. She only said that she found the knife on the ground. As for how a knife suddenly appeared in the garden, nobody knew. Celine insisted that she found the knife there.

She would never admit that she brought a knife with her intentionally. To prove her innocence, she even dared the police to check the CCTV footage.

Celine didn't know that the police already had some evidence.

After getting her statement, they didn't say anything to her and just told her to wait outside. Celine couldn't do anything but sit on a chair restlessly.

Her situation and her physical appearance were both in a mess. Her dress was stained and torn. There were some bruises on her shoulder. She had a sprained ankle too.

The police had left her alone there.

It was already bright outside, but Celine was still there sitting solely. Her hands and feet were sweaty and cold.
