“Yes, I know,” Emma nodded her head. She understood this was normal legal procedure that could not be avoided.
Eric gently patted her on the head as he watched her walk into the meeting room with the lawyers. After she sat down, the police began their interrogation.
“Miss Miller, I would like to show you a video that was recorded on set,” the police officer handed Emma a phone. As soon as Emma saw it, she smiled.
“This man claimed to be a friend of Quenton’s. In this video, he was lost, so I merely pointed him the way to where Quenton was filming.”
The police officer put away the phone and continued with another question, “Then, how do you explain that your phone number was in the culprit’s phone?”
“Mr. Police Officer, how do you expect me to answer this question?” Emma asked calmly. “My phone number was recently leaked to the public – everyone knows it. Yet, you are asking me how he got my number?”
“It has been proven that the man in the video was indeed the person that attacked Quenton. We are currently looking for him. As soon as we find him, the truth will be revealed,” the police were well aware that they weren’t going to get any information from Emma. After all, their evidence wasn’t substantial. So, even though Emma was the biggest suspect, they couldn’t do anything to her.
“We will not be lenient towards any criminal actions whatsoever.”
The words of the police seemed to contain a deeper meaning. So Emma replied in seriousness, “I hope you remember what you have said today.”
“Let’s go,” after they were done with their questions, the police got up to leave. But, just as they started walking out the door, they turned around and added, “Now that things have been blown out of proportion, you are going to be affected. You should take extra note of your safety.”
“I have my methods of proving my innocence. Thank you for your concern,” Emma smiled elegantly.
The two police officers were a little surprised by her response, but they quickly turned to leave. However, after they left, Emma’s exp**ssion was no longer comfortable and relaxed.
Back during Shiloh’s incident, she had also encountered a self-scripted, self-directed act; back then, she remained quiet and kept herself out of it. However, this time, Quenton’s act had completely dragged her into the midst of the situation and made it impossible for her to get out.
Afterwards, Eric entered the meeting room and held onto Emma’s hand tightly, “Luke has already secured some evidence. He will definitely find the man before the police do.”
“Why don’t we work alongside the police?”
“I need to personally get evidence of your innocence before I hand him over to the police.”
Eric was used to taking the initiative. Since Quenton wanted to hold a p**ss conference to explain the incident, Eric was going ensure that he put on a good show.
“Trust in Luke. Nothing will go wrong.”
Emma nodded her head, “Of course, I’m confident you won’t let me suffer from injustice. In reality, I’m more worried about you. I don’t care what the public say, because I know the truth will eventually prevail.”
“You have a strong heart,” Eric hugged Emma as his heart ached and felt comforted at the same time. They then returned to Eric’s office together.
Eric worked while Emma accompanied him.
Actually, for Emma, no problem was big enough to drag her down, as long as her man continued to love her.
However, to counterattack Quenton, not only did they have to find the man, they also needed to prove that he had a reason. In other words, they had to prove that he was in a relationship with Harlow.
Emma was still unaware of Elder Roberts’s identity. So, she had no idea that Amias had already set a trap within a trap.
The public barely heard anything about Quenton and Harlow, so those that knew of their relationship were rare.
Thinking of this, Emma’s exp**ssion darkened. She then told Eric, “I want Craig to help me put on an act to get evidence of Quenton and Harlow’s relationship.”
“What do you want to do?” Eric asked with an interested smile.
“This plan might work,” Emma stared into Eric’s eyes.
Perhaps it was in their DNA, Craig’s ability to impersonate others was imp**ssive, just like Elder Roberts’s. Eric found a whole heap of Quenton’s audio recordings and handed them to Craig. He then asked him to act as Quenton.
Of course, Craig did not want to be involved in this matter. But, not only was a family member being bullied, Xiner was also encouraging him to help. So, in the end, Craig spent some time practicing Quenton’s voice. After his voice was 80-90% similar, he picked up his phone and called Harlow.
At first, Harlow did not pick up the phone. But after Craig sent her a message, she finally picked up.
“Harlow speaking.”
“It’s me,” Craig skillfully imitated Quenton.
After hearing a familiar voice, Harlow let out a sigh of relief and complained, “Why are you calling me at this time? Didn’t we agree not to contact each other for a while?”
“I need to see you about something. We can’t meet at home, so I can only meet you outside. Let’s meet at our usual meeting spot.”
“OK, wait for me there.”
“Don’t try to call me. I don’t want the media to find out.”
“Understood,” Harlow was extremely obedient.
Craig hung up the phone and threw it aside. He then looked at Xiner and Emma proudly. It was almost like he was telling them not to ask him to do something so simple again, as it was a waste of his time.
Xiner made a biting gesture at him, while Emma looked gloomily out the window. She had her fi**gers crossed that the person she sent to follow Harlow would gain some useful information.
It’s not that Harlow wasn’t being cautious, but over the past few days, Quenton had made her extremely tense. So, she could no longer tell when Quenton was telling the truth or lying. He simply told her, “Everything will be settled in a few days. When that time comes, you will be the female lead.”
By this point, Harlow had long given up on the idea of being female lead. All she was worried about now, was whether Quenton would be exposed.
However, Quenton didn’t share any information with her. He simply told her to wait and to make sure not to reveal their relationship. But, this cluelessness was the reason that she took Craig’s bait as soon as he threw it out – because she had no idea what Quenton had planned.
In the middle of the night, Harlow left her home without her assistant. All alone, she drove to her usual meeting place with Quenton; an underground cafe.
However, after she arrived, she realized Quenton was not there. She then received a phone call from Craig, “I was discovered by my manager, so I won’t be able to come out tonight. Go home first and we’ll meet another time.”
Harlow did not question the voice that she heard. So she quickly returned home without realizing that she was being tailed.
She was in too much of a panic to notice…
