Female Novel
Chapter 1779
Luke knew Luca would leave herself a way out. Even though the police officers had come looking forher, there was nothing they could do to her.
However, he would never allow the woman he loved to suffer. Hence, he put a cold expression on hisface and walked in front of Luca. "Come on. Let's see what they're up to."
Luca looked at the man's tall figure from behind. She zoned out a little.
Luke was standing in front of her to protect her. When Luca recalled what he did for her every time shewas in trouble, she would always have mixed feelings deep in her heart. It was a bittersweet feeling.
Luca did not space out for long. The moment Luke stepped on the stairs, she quickly followed behindhim.
The police officers who were waiting in the living room saw Luke coming down first. They exchangedglances with each other.
Did they not come here to arrest a woman called Luca? Why was Luke Crawford here?
“Sir, why is the woman together with Luke Crawford?” a young police officer asked in a low voice.Could it be that there was something unusual going on in between them?
The older police officer shook his head and replied, "Stop minding other people's business. We'repolice officers, not reporters."
The younger police officer nodded his head. Suddenly, he remembered Luke's scandal that happeneda few months ago.
Was it not fake news? It was true?
"Bring the children upstairs." Luke saw that the three children were sitting on the same couch, staringat the police officers curiously. Luke's face darkened, and he ordered the maid.
The maid replied and brought the three children upstairs hurriedly.
Luca came right up to the police officers, looking calm. She could feel that Luke was dissatisfied. Then,she spoke first. "Why are you looking for me?"
The older police officer looked at them and asked in a stern tone, "You're Luca Craw?"
"Yes," Luca replied in a simple yet confident manner. She did not show any guilt in front of the policeofficers.
The police officers who thought she would behave arrogantly because she had Luke's support weresurprised to see her being so cooperative.
The older police officer said, "Please follow us back to the police station." “What for?" Luca asked himeven though she knew the reason. The expression on her face was calm as usual. There was no doubtthat these police officers came here because of Pierre's matter.
"We believe that you're involved in an alleged assault case against Mr. Pierre Mallory. So, please followus back to the police station for the investigation," said the older police officer. He glanced at thedocument in his hands. It was Pierre Mallory who reported it.
"Sure. But please let me go upstairs and get changed first." Luca did not put them in a difficult spot.She turned around and went upstairs.
The two police officers waited downstairs. They shot a glance at Luke. The expression on his face wasas cold as stone. He looked like a demon from hell.
They knew it would be tough to deal with this case, but they had to do it. Whenever someone reporteda case to them, it was their duty to investigate it. They were secretly glad that Luca was willing tocooperate with them.
Luca got changed and went downstairs. She looked at the three people in the living room.
Luke had been sizing the two police officers up. His aura was so strong that the two police officersdared not to speak a word.
Luca walked toward them and said, "Alright. Let's go."
The young police officer heard her and took the handcuffs out.
Luca frowned and reminded him, saying, "I'm just following you back to the station to help in theinvestigation. I shouldn't be considered a convict before things are figured out yet, right?"
"Yes, that's right. What you said is right. Keep the handcuffs away," the older police officer said politely.Handcuffs were only applicable when they dealt with people who did not comply with the law.
The younger police officer kept the handcuffs away after listening to what the older police officer said.
The older police officer was more experienced. He was already grateful that Luca was willing to takethe initiative to cooperate with them. "Thank you for your cooperation. The police car is out there.Please come with me."
Luca nodded. She turned around and shot a glance at Luke. She said, "I'll be back soon."
"Alright." Luke's facial expression was still livid. Luca did not ask for his help even when she was facingthe police officers alone. It was as though she could handle everything herself.
He was not used to Luca being so strong and independent.
Luca heard his response and knew that he would not do anything. Hence, she left with the policeofficers while feeling reassured.
When she reached the police station, the chief police officer sat down opposite her when she had justsat down.
Perhaps the older police officer had told him about her earlier. That was why the chief police officer waspolite to her. He served her a cup of tea before he began the interrogation.
Luca looked at her phone without lifting her head.
She did not want to waste her time. Hence, she had taken a few photos of the documents that sheneeded to translate when she went to get changed. This way, she would be able to continue to do hertranslation work when she was here.
The chief police officer noticed that she did not intend to speak first. He had no choice but to say, "Ms.Luca, we received a police report and that's why we had to bring you here to cooperate in ourinvestigation. I hope you can understand." "The person who reported me to the police is Pierre Mallory,right?" Luca still did not lift her head. She typed out the translated sentence in her notes app.novelbin
“Yes. Mr. Mallory claims that you attacked him at the hospital's parking lot. He's seriously injured andcurrently receiving treatment at the hospital.” The chief police officer wondered if she really injuredsomeone. The woman in front of him was way too calm.
“Is it true that I injured him? Is there any injury assessment report?” Luca asked.
The chief police officer glanced at the police officer who was in charge of the case.
The police officer shook his head. Pierre only told him that he was receiving treatment at the hospital,but he did not show him any reports.
“It seems like there's no such report. The hospital would have provided him with an injury assessmentreport if I had really injured him. Now, can I sue Pierre Mallory for defamation?" Luca put her phonedown and looked at the police officer while she asked.
The chief police officer looked at her with admiration. She was able to think clearly and speakarticulately.
“Did he provide any evidence when you received the report?" The chief police officer turned aroundand asked his subordinates. He was not sure about the details of the case. He was attending a meetingwhen Pierre made the police report.
"Mr. Pierre's assistant sent a video, and Ms. Luca did attack him," the older police officer repliedimmediately. The police officers were dispatched to her residence because of the video. They failed toask Pierre to provide an injury assessment report.
Luca asked, "Did it take place at the hospital's parking lot? Pierre was going to attack me, but Imanaged to dodge him. I only pinched him with my hands without using any tools. How could I possiblyhave injured him? Looking at this from a legal perspective, I was merely defending myself. I didn'tcause him any serious injuries."
The chief police officer finished watching the video. Indeed, she was not holding any weapons whenshe dealt with Pierre. The man fell to the ground after getting touched twice.
The scene that looked like both of them were fighting could not be used as evidence that Luca hadinjured him.
The chief police officer had made his judgment. He smiled at Luca and said, "Ms. Luca, thank you forcooperating. After investigating, I've concluded that the case can't be considered as physical assault.I'm sorry for wasting your time. Why don't you let us send you back home?"
"Thank you, but I can hail a ride back home myself." Luca saved the translated document on herphone. Then, she stood up and asked, "Is there anything I need to sign?"
