Chapter 360


    ra was the only one who behaved rather abnormally as she hurriedly defended herself. “Simon’s


    dead? What has that got to do with me? We aren’t even rted.”


    Thus, began ra’s defense.


    If she was truly unaware of Simon’s death, her first reaction to the news should be shock Yet, that was


    not the case, which meant she was most likely aware of it beforehand.


    And now, she was trying to talk her way out of the matter, which would cause one to suspect whether


    she was indeed the culprit.


    “Judging by your tone, it seems you knew he was dead a long time ago. Am I right, ra?” Adrian


    asked once more, causing


    the color to drain from ra’s face.


    Suddenly, she seemed to have realized something and hurriedly said, “No, I didn’t. I only found out he’s


    dead when you told me. But what does his death have to do with me? I didn’t kill him!”


    Adrian had gone through many experiences so he was easily able to tell something was wrong with


    ra based on her


    expression.


    “She may seem calm and collected but it’s actually the opposite. She’s faking her reaction.”


    “We can’t decide for sure whether you’re innocent in the matter of Simon’s death. However, as his


    girlfriend, you’re our only lead in this case at the moment so I’m going to have to ask you to assist us


    with our investigation.”


    “I broke up with him a long time ago! I don’t mind assisting with your investigation but I really don’t have


    any leads for you,” ra replied.


    “I’m not asking you for leads. Instead, I have a few questions for you, and I hope you’ll answer them


    honestly.


    ra was very nervous at that moment. After all, that was her first time facing the legate. Plus, she had


    no idea what the Battle Warrior Department had on her at that moment.


    Hence, she nodded. “Go ahead.”


    “Simon’s death has been determined to be approximately ten in the morning two days ago. Where


    were you during that What were you doing and with whom?”


    “I–1…” ra stammered for a while, trying toe up with an answer for Adrian.


    After a while, she said, “I was at my office and at home the entire time. My family can corroborate my


    story.”


    “Are you sure?” Adrian asked.


    “Yes, I’m sure.”

    “In that case, why did you have to think about your answer? If you had been in your office the entire


    time, you should’ve been able to answer me without hesitation,” Daniel questioned, causing ra’s


    face to turn red.


    At that moment, Nathan hurriedly said, “Sir, my daughter was at the office or jogging at home that day.


    We can all testify to that.”


    “He’s right. We all saw ber there!”


    i


    “I can assure you that my granddaughter has been at her office and at home during that time,” Violet


    added.


    Adrian nudded when he heard this. However, he suddenly dropped them a reminder and said, “You


    should all think carefully before corroborating her alibd. If you all insist that she was at home and our


    investigation says otherwise, and it’s found that she is indeed rted to Simon’s death, you will all have


    given false testimony which is punishable by death.


    “So, let me ask again. Are any of you able to prove that she was home at the time? We will be


    recording every single statement you give as evidence. You now have three minutes to deckle.


    “There will be ne talking among yourselves during this time,” Adrian added.


    All the Cowells were now quaking in their boots.


    “We can’t talk to one another? This means we can’t discuss anything.”


    Violet had no idea what was going on because she had no idea where ra was during Simon’s death.


    Meanwhile, everyone, especially ra, was panidding.


    “Will our family be executed if one of us gives them false statements?”


    Three minutester, Adrian said, “Time’s up. You’ve all had enough time to consider my question. Now,


    is anyone still able to testify that ra was at home and at her office during Simon’s time of death?


    “General Dantel, have our men shut down the Cowell Group’s operations and interrogated every single


    staff member. There’s


    no way not a single one of them would be unaware of her presence there, if she’s telling the truth, of


    course.”


    “Yes, sir!” Daniel immediately made a phone call upon receiving this order.
