Female NovelChapter 356
Jenna responded. “Yes, we need you to stabilize the situation now, Mr. Perry I’ll go check out what’shappening at the police station and find a way to get Sophie oul.”
“Alright!” Mr. Perry agreed.
Meanwhile, Sophie had been sitting quietly in the interrogation room for a long time, with no onecoming to question her. She was locked in this enclosed mom for a full three hours.
She glanced at her watch and gently tapped on the table. Immediately, a guard came in and asked,“Ms. Sophie, would you like some
water?”
“How long do you plan to keep me here?” Sophie didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
The guard seemed troubled and said, “Are you tired? Would you like to rest?”
Sophie changed the question, “Who reported me?”
Tm sorry, that’s confidential. We can’t tell you.”
Sophie frowned slightly.
They wouldn’t do anything to her, considering Colby’s influence, but they wouldn’t easily let her goeither. She was really worried about what was happening outside.
“I need to make a phone call”
“Ms. Sophie, you are in the interrogation phase right now. You cannot make phone callsnovelbin
Sophie tapped on the table in imitation. “Then when will the person questioning me arrive?
The guard quickly apologized, saying. “They are currently assigning someone to investigate, so no oneis available to come back right now. If you feel tired, we can arrange a room for you to rest.
“Arrange a room? A cell, you mean?” Sophie’s voice grew colder.
The guard immediately fell silent.
Sophie coldly stated, “Call whoever is in charge here. I’ll give you half an hour. If I don’t see anyone,my lawyer will sue yo
you.”
Sophie was serious, and the guard immediately ran out to call someone. After all, she was notsomeone to be taken lightly, with a strong legal team behind her. Given the circumstances, she couldeasily escalate the situation.
In no time, Officer Derick rushed over.
Sophie had met Officer Derick before. She sneered and said, “Officer Derick.”
Officer Derick wiped his sweat and said, “Ms. Sophie.”
“Last time we met, I thought you were a smart person.”
“Ms. Sophie, this really has nothing to do with me. The report call was made to my boss, and I had nochoice but to bring you here.”
Officer Derick spoke eamestly. Sophie said. “Then who made the report call? You must know that.”
“I really don’t know. They used a voice changer and called from a public phone. We couldn’t even tell ifit was a man or a woman.”
Officer Derick didn’t seem to be lying and said with hesitancy. “Ms. Sophie, there’s something I must tellyou”
“Officer Derick, just tell me directly at this point”
“The moment this came up, I immediately had people start investigating. The issue now is that thereindeed appears to be a discrepancy in Russell Enterprises‘ accounts. There is a one–billion–dollargap.”
Sophie’s expression turned serious.
A one–billion–dollar gap? How had she never noticed a one–billion–dollar gap in Russell Enterprisesbefore?
“Of course, I’m not saying this gap has anything to do with you, Ms. Sophie, but since you are the legalrepresentative of Russell Enterprises, you understand the implications.”
Sophie’s eyes turned cold in an instant I understand what you’re implying. Officer Derick. But your teamshould be able to investigate whether I’m suspected of embezzlement or illegal transfer of companyassets, right?”
“We’re still investigating. But for now, Ms. Sophie, we’d like to ask you to stay with us for a few days
“A few days? It seems you
