Chapter 277 Alerting the Other Party

“What do you mean by this?” Freya pressed her lips tightly together. She knew Melissa’s disposition too well.

The young girl didn’t lie, and whenever she did, her eyes would wander. She was never one to be enigmatic.

“Miss, please believe us,” said the investigating officer to Freya. “The police don’t arbitrarily apprehend people. We found a knife at the crime scene with your cousin’s fingerprints on the handle. The blood on the blade, after analysis, indeed matches Benjamin’s!”

Freya was taken aback. “How is that possible? Didn’t Benjamin drown?”

The officer sighed. “Benjamin was a young man in his twenties, and he wasn’t under the influence of alcohol. How could he drown in a 4 feet deep pond? He was stabbed and fell into a coma, then thrown into the water!

“The knife found at the scene matches Benjamin’s wound, and microscopic particles of Hannah’s skin were found on the handle.”

The officer looked at Freya. “Do you understand now?”

“I don’t believe it. There must be a conspiracy here. My cousin is being framed. Freya asserted firmly.

The officer seemed helpless. “Since Melissa Marshall has been brought in, we’ve investigated her background as well. Whether it’s your cousin or Hannah Monaghan, they are the only daughters of prominent families. I know your families have great influence, but everyone is equal before the law. If you harm others, you must face the consequences. In the face of solid evidence, a few words of defense won’t be enough to escape!”

Freya wanted to say something, but the officer had already gotten up and left.

At that, she clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down.

According to the police’s account, it was indeed strange.

Melissa went to Swan Lake that evening and left without seeing Benjamin.

If she had come into contact with the knife that night, she would definitely remember it.

Freya turned around, thinking of returning to reassure Melissa, when the door opposite swung open.

Two tall figures strode in briskly.

Freya was startled. “Radley…”

Radley saw Freya and walked over quickly. “How are you holding up?”
