Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 176

Audrey’s POV

I caught a taxi straight from the Parker mansion to the police station. When I got there, the desk officer told me Jennifer had finished her initial statement and was already in a holding cell.

“Miss Sinclair.”

The female officer who’d been at William’s house spotted me and stood up. She walked me through the station, dropping her voice as we moved. “How’s Miss Rose doing? She seemed pretty shaken when we left.”

I gave a small smile. ‘She was fine.”

Laurel’s illness was fake from start to finish. Her dramatic show of nearly having an attack in front of the police was just to make them take Jennifer away faster.

The officer brought me into a small office, and we sat down on opposite sides of the desk.

“That Jennifer Carson is being difficult,” she said. “At the Parker mansion, she practically admitted everything she did was connected to Laurel Rose. But as soon as we got her here, she changed her story completely.”

She looked directly at me. “It’s obvious her interests are tied to Laurel Rose. Even though she was angry about being abandoned, once she calmed down, she decided to protect Rose.”

“In her statement, she’s taking complete responsibility. Claims she planned everything herself with no input from Laurel Rose. Says Rose is just an innocent victim who got dragged into this.”

She closed the file. “Don’t worry, though. As long as there are questions about the case, we’ll keep investigating to get to

the truth.”

I nodded, disappointed but not surprised. “Thank you.”

If Jennifer were the type to easily turn on Laurel, she wouldn’t have been trusted with so much for so many years. This will take time to unravel.

But time is the one thing I don’t have.

I took a deep breath. “Did Jennifer say anything about the phones? Where they are now, or where my friend’s phone came
