Dr. Smith closed her eyes and remained silent. As long as she didn''t talk, as long as she denied everything, they''d have to release her after 24 hours if they had no evidence.
The Chief saw her unwillingness to speak. He pulled out a chair and sat down. "You don''t have to say anything. We''ll find out soon enough. We''ve already tracked the location of the number in your phone. It''s on a boat, not far from the coast. You''re not getting away this time."
"And if I''m not mistaken, you were involved in the previous kidnappings as well. Once we prove that, you''ll all be facing the death penalty."
His calm wordsnded with heavy finality.
Both Dr. Smith and Yvonne were terrified, but Dr. Smith was a seasoned criminal and knew how to handle the police.
They knew what they were doing was illegal, but the temptation of money had been
too great.
“Ahhh!" Yvonne screamed, breaking downpletely.
"I don''t wanna die! Save me!"
The baby in her belly was the heir to the Scott family; he couldn''t have a mother in prison.
“Shut up! Just shut your mouth!" Dr. Smith shot her a cold re. She was determined not to talk. As for her past crimes, as long as they weren''t discovered, this incident alone would only get her a few years in prison.
If things got really bad, she''d pin everything she did before on her boyfriend. It had nothing to do with her.
When disaster strikes, it''s every man for himself. He''d have to take all the me.
The Chief knew Dr. Smith wouldn''t talk, so he just ordered his men to speed up the investigation.
The entire ind''s police force was mobilized to search for the baby. Fortunately, he was found before dawn.
When the baby was recovered, he was running a dangerously high fever. A newborn, left out in a blizzard, he was blue from the cold and was rushed to the emergency room for immediate treatment.
When Natalie got up to make breakfast, she went downstairs and overheard the nurses talking. The baby had been found. She breathed a sigh of relief.
By coincidence, she ran into Yvonne and Dr. Smith being escorted back to the police station.
Yvonne saw Natalie and her expression turned frantic.
"Natalie, save me! You bitch, save me!" Yvonne looked down on Natalie from the bottom of her heart, thinking her stupid and easily manipted by Joanna, never fighting back.
Natalie walked over and raised her hand.
"Ah!" Yvonne cried out in pain, the taste of blood filling her mouth.
She red at Natalie viciously. "Natalie, you... you dare hit me? I''m your future sister-inw! Do you
believe I can get your brother to beat you to death, you shameless. Woman?"
Natalie''s eyes narrowed into a cold smile. "Then why don''t you give him a call and
see if he dares to kill me?"
"And as for that scheme you pulled
on Zenobia at the hotel, I''ll be providing the police with all the evidence it should be enough to keep you in jail for a few more years."
"You... what do you mean?" Yvonne was shocked. What other evidence did she have?
"Natalie, don''t you dare try to set me up! I''m not someone you can mess with."
But Natalie just gave a coldugh, ignored her, and walked toward Zenobia''s family home across the street.
Yvonne watched Natalie''s retreating figure, her heart filled with panic.
Could it be that she had been set up by Nataliest night?
Last night, room 408 was supposed to be Zenobia''s. How did it be the Chief''s wife''s room?
"Natalie,e back! Did you set me up? Did you?!" Yvonne screamed, on the verge of a breakdown.
But Natalie was already far away, her voice lost in the wind and snow.
Yvonne was taken to the police station. She immediately called Jerome, asking him
to find someone to bail her out.
The call connected quickly.
"Hello?"
Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief
when she heard Jerome''s voice. She cried pitifully, "Jerome, you have to save me! Natalie set me up! She framed me! Pleasee save me I''ve been arrested by the police."
