But, this response from the police triggered the anger of the public.
They felt the truth was obvious; Xu Xin had left behind a suicide note, clearly stating that Emma wasn’t a good person. If this wasn’t enough evidence of a grudge bet**en the two women, what other evidence did they need?
“Aren’t the police being too hasty with their conclusion?”
“No one is doubting the fact that Xu Xin committed suicide, but shouldn’t they do a thorough investigation into the reason? How could they close the case so quickly. Does it really have nothing to do with Emma?”
“I, for one, cannot sacrifice my life to exp**ss my hatred for a person. Can any of you do it?”
“I request for a thorough investigation to get justice for the dead!”
The police were crying on the inside. This matter truly wasn’t as complicated as the public made it out to be. Emma honestly hadn’t done anything to hurt Xu Xin. If they had to give a reason, it would be that Xu Xin was mentally unwell.
But, due to p**ssures from the public, the police once again questioned the closest people to Xu Xin, especially her director boyfriend.
“Can you tell me how the two of you met?”
The director knew that it was important for him to tell the truth. If the police found any discrepancies in his story, he would be in deep trouble. So, he clearly explained how Xu Xin visited his room and how they fell in love after sleeping together.
“So, when you announced your relationship to the public, did you honestly want to be with her?”
“Sorry officer, I need to explain this properly. Xu Xin tried to threaten me with our relationship a few times, so I reduced her screentime and recommended her to another film. Afterwards, she told me that she was pregnant. At that time, I had my doubts, but if the child was truly mine, I was going to take responsibility, so I decided to reveal our relationship to the public.”
“Before my revelation, Emma had already discovered Xu Xin leaving my room at night, but she did not create a scandal out of it. She simply reminded me not to let my private matters affect my work.”
“Was she wrong in doing that?”
The officer remained silent for a few seconds and finally shook his head, “No, she wasn’t wrong.”
“If you want to give the public an explanation, you can do some research into Xu Xin and learn about her background and character.”
“I have been in a relationship with Xu Xin, but I won’t allow Emma to be innocently blamed for something she didn’t do.”
“That is all I want to say.”
The police discovered from the director that Emma had exposed Xu Xin and the director’s relationship early on, so they contacted Emma once again.
As a result, Emma arrived calmly at the police station cooperatively.
“We heard from the director that you discovered Xu Xin leaving his room one night. Can you explain this incident to us?”
“That night, my husband came to visit me at the hotel without notifying the crew. When I went to see him off in the morning, I saw Xu Xin stepping out of the director’s room. At that time, she captured a photo of my husband’s back and thought that I was having an affair. So she began to use this to threaten me.”
“Her first request was for me to contact the editor of Global Style and secure the front cover of their May issue for her. You can ask the editor about this.”
“However, I had told the editor to never use her instead.”
“Afterwards, I got my husband to clarify the entire misunderstanding…”
“As a result, we had a few clashes after that…” Emma explained everything that happened on set.
“So, you didn’t do anything extreme to her?” the officer asked.
“What would you consider as extreme?” Emma asked.
The officer looked deep into Emma’s eyes and discovered that the legendary woman’s gaze was especially calm, making her very convincing.
“Also officer, Xu Xin’s management agency tried their best to hide the truth, but Kaleidoscope’s sources have managed to find that Xu Xin had a history of mental illness. You can look into it further if you want.”
The police officer nodded his head. It seemed, he had discovered another breakthrough from Emma.
After all, it had never been normal for a person to take such extreme measures due to anger.
“The rumors from the public must make things difficult for you,” the young officer suddenly changed the subject. “This is the trend. People refuse to believe you when you tell the truth, but when you tell a lie, you end up receiving a huge round of applause. No one wants to witness a simple plot, they prefer drama; the more drama the better.”
“I’ve already gotten used to it,” Emma replied with a smile.
“In that case, the police will try to find the truth as soon as possible and get justice for you. But, to be honest, for a person to exp**ss their hatred towards you even at their time of death, is something that is bound to attract suspicion. That’s why there is such a big reaction from the public,” the officer sighed after he was done with questioning. “I can only say that you were unlucky.”
“Time will reveal the truth.”
“I’ll escort you. It’s safer for you to leave in a police car than to walk out on your own.”
After all, a crowd of reporters were waiting for Emma.
“No need. My husband is waiting for me outside.”
After speaking, Emma bowed to the officer and quickly walked towards the back door of the police station.
Although Eric had been careful, it was likely that someone inside the station had notified the media. So, the reporters quickly gathered around the back door and surrounded Emma.
“Emma…Emma, please don’t leave yet. Let us interview you first. Everyone is saying that you forced Xu Xin to kill herself, is this true?”
“Your relationship with Xu Xin isn’t as simple as the police concluded, is it?”
“Xu Xin clung onto you because you used extreme methods against her, didn’t you?”
Emma furrowed her brows and ignored the cameras. However, she was completely surrounded, so she was being pushed left and right, but she couldn’t find a way out.
“Emma…”
“Emma…”
“Everyone stop pushing, stop pushing!”
From the looks of it, these reporters weren’t planning to give up until they had thoroughly torn her apart.
“Emma, you mustn’t have expected to kill Xu Xin, right?”
Emma wanted to step forward, but a reporter held onto her from behind, not letting her go.
At this time, a loud voice echoed through the crowd, “Move out of the way.”
Everyone realized that the voice came from Eric, who had just stepped out of his black car. He quickly walked towards the crowd. While everyone was staring at him in shock, he broke through their defenses and pulled Emma into his arms, “You want an interview? Fine. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask me.”
Everyone was stunned. Even though this was Eric, noone wanted to let go of this chance, so they gathered their courage and began to ask, “Mr. Roborts, did Emma force Xu Xin to die?”
“She slit her wrist and stabbed herself in the ch*st. It was a suicide!” Eric replied coldly.
“No, what I meant was, did Xu Xin kill herself because Emma’s opp**ssion left her with no choice?”
“The police have already told you the truth. What story do you want to hear?”
The questioning reporter was obviously frightened by Eric’s powerful response, so he opened his mouth, but was too afraid to say anything.
“Any other questions? If not, then move aside!”
“But, Kaleidoscope may have bribed the police…”
As soon as Eric heard this slight mumble from the crowd, he suddenly stopped in his track.
“If the police can be bribed by Kaleidoscope so easily, why don’t I go run for the country’s President tomorrow?” Eric asked coldly. “You are all grown adults. I know that for the sake of survival, you must do some despicable things. But, the fact that you look down upon our legal system, clearly shows why you can only be a mere entertainment reporter.”
“If killing a person is so easy, then you should all take note of your safety…”
Everyone looked at each other, too afraid to say another word.
Sometimes, they also didn’t understand why people were so persistent at chasing for the so-called ‘truth’. The police had already given them the truth, yet no one believed them. No one!
“Let’s go.”
This time, no one dared to stand in Eric’s way. They could only watch as he led Emma out of the crowd.
Perhaps due to the fact that this incident involved a death, everyone within the industry avoided mentioning it.
Those that had previously worked with her or come in contact with her, were certain that Emma wouldn’t be able to dig herself out of this grave. Because a matter that couldn’t be clarified, would forever leave a black mark against her name.
