Chapter 1274
Harriet thought, “Didn’t the police already know that Nicholas died in a car accident?”
“How come I have anything to do with Nicholas’s death? You must get the wrong person! I want my
lawyer here! And I’m gonna sue you for misuse of force,” said Harriet.
“You can call your lawyer after we bring you back to the police station! In fact, we wouldn’t be arresting
you if we didn’t have enough evidence,” said the policeman.
The policeman’s words gave Harriet another startle, making her wonder what evidence the police had
against her.
When Harriet was taken away from the airport, the man called Zephyr who was on the way right now.
“Mrs. Scott has been taken away by the police, Mr. Scott. I heard that they mentioned Nicholas, and it
seemed that Mrs. Scott was taken away by the police because she was involved in the car accident
years ago,” he said.
The car accident he mentioned shook the whole city.
Zephyr was shocked. “What did you say? Was she taken away because she had something to do with
the crash that killed Nicholas?”
“It seems so. I was too far away from them, so I didn’t hear it clearly,” said the man.
After finishing the call, Zephyr closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. The next second, he said
to the driver in the front row, “Turn around and go to the police station!”
He wanted to figure out what was going on and why Harriet had something to do with the car accident.
He felt as if he were facing a fog, and he was now getting so close to it that he could clear it by
reaching out his hand.
When Harriet was taken to the police station, she was surprised to find that Riley was there, too.novelbin
Harriet watched with a shocked face as Riley walked towards her and thought, “What is she doing
here? Is it a coincidence? Or…”
“I warned you earlier that you can’t always get away with it.” Riley said indifferently, “There’s no escape
for you this time, Harriet.”
“Riley, you…” At this moment, Harriet suddenly felt a little frightened. She had a hunch that Riley
already knew the truth about the accident, making it almost impossible for her to get away with it again.
Harriet was taken into the interrogation room while Riley followed the police into his office and told him
what happened that year. She tried to make every detail and every doubt very clear.
When she came out of the office, she had tears streaming down her face.
Riley raised her hand and gently wiped away her tears. It was only now that she realized that despite
all the years that had passed, Nicholas’ death was still a crushing blow to her, preventing her from
moving on.
Nicholas wanted her to live a good life, but she couldn’t live a normal life after all she had lost.
At this moment, Riley heard footsteps. She raised her head and saw Zephyr hurrying into the police
station.
After seeing her, Zephyr suddenly stopped and looked very shocked.
“What are you doing here?” Zephyr asked coldly.
“I’m here for the same reason you are,” said Riley. They both came to the police station for Harriet!
Zephyr’s face darkened, saying, “What now? You weren’t happy about Harriet’s acquittal, so you
managed to get her arrested again, didn’t yo The police already said that the accident was just a
coincidence. What else do you want? Besides, Harriet is now the daughter-in-law of the S family. Do
you have any idea what you’re doing to our family?”
“So all you care about is if the Scott family is affected, right?” Riley said angrily. She was disappointed,
but she thought that she shouldn’t be because she should have known that Zephyr would say that.
“Do you have to do this? You can’t handle the consequence once you get the Scott family involved in
it,” Zephyr warned her.
“What made you think so? I can even risk my life to do this!” Riley sounded determined. “What about
you? What did you do? Nicholas, your close friend, died in a car crash, but you’re now asking me not to
find out the truth of his death. Is this how you treat your friends, Zephyr?”
“Nicholas and I were not friends a long time ago. He wouldn’t have hooked up with you if he saw
himself as my friend. Who are you to question me like that?” Zephyr said coldly.
“He had never done anything wrong to you. You’re the one who always doubted my relationship with
him. If he failed you, he wouldn’t have come to say goodbye to me and gone abroad!” said Riley.
She didn’t care whether she was wronged or misunderstood. She just didn’t want Nicholas to be
slandered.
A man like him would never do this!
However, Zephyr didn’t believe her explanations.
“Anyway, you’d better drop the charges right now. Otherwise…”
Zephyr stared at Riley and said, “There’s nothing I can’t do in Lommore.”
“The Scott family is not the only powerful family in Lommore.” A man’s voice came through, and it
turned out to be Bruce Griffin coming to the police station.
Bruce looked at Zephyr with a stern face, “If Mrs. Scott killed my brother, then the Griffin family would
definitely go after her, even if you Scott family is determined to protect her!”
Zephyr stared at Bruce and said, “Fine, the Griffin family, huh? Got it!
After saying that, Zephyr turned around and left.
Bruce looked at Riley and asked, “What did he say to you?”
“Nothing. He wanted me to drop the charge because he didn’t want the Scott family to be affected by
Harriet. It seems that he had no idea about what happened many years ago,” said Riley.
Bruce said, “Really? Then, after everything is settled, are you going to go to him and…”
The next second, Riley said something that shocked Bruce.
“What do you mean?”
