On the other end of the line, a female police officer explained softly, “Well, Ms. Stone, we’ve received a report from Ms. Reed, saying that someone cast a horror image on her floor-to-ceiling window in the middle of the night. Now the person who did that has been arrested and confessed that you had ordered him to do it. So, can I please have your presence at the station now?”

However, her voice in Cynthia’s ears only sounded like a messenger from hell. Her face turned pale as she said in disbelief, “W-What? Sonia called the police?”

Tom was naturally not interested in Cynthia, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Cynthia calling out Sonia’s name. Hearing that, he subconsciously stopped.

“Yes, Ms. Reed has filed a report, so Ms. Stone, please come to the police station right away!” the policewoman said again.

 

Cynthia shook her head vigorously. “No! I won’t!”

After all, she had been detained before, and she hated it. So, she told herself that she wouldn’t go to the police station no matter what.

However, the policewoman’s face sank, and her voice turned colder. “Ms. Stone, if you refuse to come over, that means you are refusing to cooperate in the investigation—do you know that we can arrest you and even detain you for that?”

Upon hearing about the arrest and detention, Cynthia felt a squeeze in her heart. Beads of cold sweat rolled down her forehead, and she held the phone in both hands before nodding repeatedly. “No! Don’t arrest me. I-I’ll come right now.”

“Alright!” The policewoman smiled again. “Then I will be waiting for you here at the police station.”

With that, the policewoman hung up the phone.

 

Cynthia immediately sank into panic. Despite that, she walked stiffly toward the hospital gate.

Tom, who was standing by the side, squinted at her figure, and finally went in another direction.

“What took you so long to file a prescription?” Toby, who was reading financial reports on his tablet, frowned slightly when he saw Tom entering the car.

Tom only handed him the medicine. “President Fuller, I met Cynthia Stone on my way back.”
