At this time, two police officers came over and flashed their IDs at Selena. “Excuse me, are youSelena Yard?”
“Yes.”
“Please follow us to the police station.”novelbin
Selena looked at Meredith, and likewise, Meredith looked at her with something indecipherable inher gaze as she stood there emotionlessly, her expression tinged with a faint hint of sorrow.
Just when the police officers were about to take Selena away, the Lakes suddenly appeared. Theperson who rushed forward was one Selena recognized—Finneas’ mother, Judy. “How’s mygrandchild? Is my grandchild okay?”
Upon hearing this, Meredith was naturally perturbed. Megan is all but lying in the ICU, yet their onlyconcern is the child in her stomach. Still, she kept her composure. “The child is gone, and my sisteris now in the ICU.”
“My grandson is gone! How could God be so cruel?” Judy instantly burst into tears and wailedloudly, her bearing as a wealthy woman disappearing into thin air. Thus, it was evident how muchshe’d been looking forward to the child.
All of a sudden, she swung her gaze at Selena. “It was you! You did this! It must have been you,yes? I want you to pay for my grandson’s life, you evil woman!” Then, she abruptly charged atSelena and left a few bloody scratches on her face. All at once, Selena felt a burning pain on herface. After all that scratching, Judy then grabbed her hair. While Selena was no easy prey, Judy wasan old lady, so it’d be bad if she took it too far and caused Judy’s death. Nonetheless, she stillinstinctively resisted, which angered the old lady even more that she successively slapped herseveral times.
In the end, it was the police who stopped Judy. “We’re going to take her to the police station, soplease don’t obstruct us.”
“Take her away and sentence her to death!” Judy roared.
Selena then left with the police officers pathetically. For some inexplicable reason, she took a lastglance over her shoulder at Meredith, only to see her standing there, seemingly with a faint smile onher face. “Hurry up!” a police officer urged. At this, she quickly left.
At the police station, Selena had her statement taken. She cooperated and briefly explained theentire incident.
“Why did you strangle her?”
“Because my daughter was missing. We had a grudge, so I concluded that she must have taken mydaughter. Naturally, I had to confront her.”
“And so, you strangled her? Then, you even pushed her down the escalator?”
“I didn’t push her. At that time, I wanted to loosen my hands when I noticed that she was almostrunning out of breath, but someone tripped me, and I almost fell. However, her neck was in my grip,so…” Selena had never thought that things would come to this either.
“It wasn’t deliberate?”
“Of course, it wasn’t deliberate. Considering the height of the escalator, pushing someone downmight result in the person’s death. I’ve got a daughter, so I don’t want to get embroiled in such alawsuit.”
The police officers then asked her a few more questions before they finally concluded the session.
“Can I leave now?”
“You’re wanting to leave? Do you know that this is a case of intentional harm? If the other partyrefuses to let this go and files a lawsuit, you’ll be convicted. You’d better contact your family andhave them settle this out of court. Anyway, you won’t be leaving today.”
“What are you saying?”
“I’m saying that you’re being detained. Do you still not understand?”
After that, Selena was detained for real, so she had to stay in the police station miserably.Fortunately, Linda can take care of Juniper. However, I’m well aware that the Lake Family will neverlet me off the hook, nor will Roland. There are grievances between us in the first place, and all thegrievances are now revived. Worse still, I’m the one on the losing end.
