His Precious Love

Right then, someone knocked on the door and turned the doorknob.

“Pardon me for the intrusion, Ms. Garland.”

Ella entered with a few uniformed men behind her.

Rayna stood up. “How may I help you?”

“We’re the police from Norwal City,” one of the men solemnly said as he showed her his badge. “Ms. Rayna Garland, we suspect that you’re involved in an attempted murder of a pregnant woman. Please come with us to the station.”

Attempted murder of a pregnant woman?

Rayna was baffled. She had no idea when she was involved in an attempted murder.

“Ms. Garland,” the man continued, fishing out his handcuffs when he saw no response from Rayna, “please come to the station with us. We’ll have to resort to force if you don’t cooperate with us.”

“Sorry. I was lost in thought just now.”

Rayna was genuinely dumbstruck. However, as she was in the office, she did not want to blow the matter up. It would be troublesome if she ended up going out cuffed.

“Could you give me a second to hand my work over to my coworkers?”

At the men’s silent agreement, Rayna then gave instructions about work to Ella.

At the same time, she asked Suzie to find out where Egret Scents had gotten their perfume blend.

Ella asked worriedly, “Ms. Garland, will you be fine?”

“It’s all right. They’re just taking a statement from me,” Rayna reassured with a smile. “I haven’t done anything, so there’s no need for me to be afraid.”

After that, Rayna left with the men.

Once Rayna was out of the office building and in the police car, she could not help but ask the man beside her, “May I know who the person is who said I’m involved in the attempted murder?”

“Be still. You’ll find out when you’re at the station,” the man snapped.

Rayna pursed her lips.
