I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 406

Chapter 406

When Leanna arrived at the hospital, she stopped a nurse and asked where Elliot was. After thanking her, she shuffled in that direction.

Meanwhile, the police were talking to Elliot in the ward. Seeing that, Leanna decided to wait outside the room. Only after the police left the place 20 minutes later did she knock on the door. Elliot said impatiently, "I've told you everything. What else—"

He caught himself when he saw Leanna appearing at the door. The impatience on his face vanished as he squinted his eyes and asked cautiously, "Why are you here?"

Leanna replied, "I'm here to ask you something."

"It's about the designers' competition, right?" Elliot questioned. "Everything I've said is true. I'd helped her cheat in the competition, and she'd bribed the judges."

Leanna smiled and sat down on the couch. "There's one thing I don't understand, though. Given Queenie's background, making you help her cheat in the competition was already the best she could do. How did she bribe the judges?"

Faced with her doubt, Elliot was unflustered as he had already prepared an excuse. "You're also aware that her mentor is Robert, who is on good terms with the judges. Moreover, he was determined to let Queenie win so as not to embarrass him. It wasn't hard for him to bribe the judges for her sake."

"Just like what you've said, Robert was determined to help Queenie win. Then, why would he tell you that he'd bribed the judges?"

Her question surprised Elliot, but he soon came up with an excuse. "I overheard it. There are no secrets in the world that could be kept forever, are there?"

Leanna continued, "Are you also going to tell me that Queenie has decided to kill you because she's found out that you're aware of the bribery?"

Elliot still hadn't found a good excuse for that. Hearing her words, he played along by saying, "Right, right, right. That's exactly the reason. That woman has gone mad for wanting to become famous, so she did something so despicable. You should've been the winner. I feel sorry for you."

Leanna arched her brow as she had no idea how much truth there was in his words.

A moment later, she decided to cut to the chase, asking, "Do you remember what the attacker looked like?"

The police had asked Elliot the same question earlier. He narrowed his eyes and questioned doubtfully, "Why do you want to know?"

Left with no choice, Leanna explained impassively, "Queenie had repeatedly tried to harm me back then. I want to find out whether the person who attacked you is also the one who harmed me."

Elliot never doubted her, for all the designers knew that she and Queenie were on bad terms. One just had to ask around to find out what Queenie had done during her tenure at Lux.

Thinking they were on the same boat, Elliot replied, "He was wearing a hat, so I couldn't make out his face. But…"

He furrowed his brows, as though trying to recall the man's appearance.

"Is there a scar on his face that runs from the corner of his left eye to his chin?"

Upon her reminder, Elliot dipped his head. "Right, right, right. There's indeed a scar on his face."

After getting the answer, Leanna decided to leave as she rose from the couch.

Elliot called out, "If you want to know anything about Queenie, just look for me. I'll tell you everything I know."

Hearing that, Leanna turned to look at him. "Consider yourself lucky that you survived."

Then, she left the place directly.

As Elliot watched her leave, he snorted and fished out his new phone from beneath the pillow. Then, he accessed the file on the cloud and grinned. With this, I can destroy Queenie.

…

After leaving the hospital, Leanna got into her car and drove toward the main road, but she was a little absent-minded.

All the evidence suggested that Ron was the one who had assaulted Elliot. In other words, he had probably escaped from Lloyd's confinement.

But where is he? If I want to find out Jethro's whereabouts, I must get to Ron.

At the thought of this, Leanna stepped on the brake and steered the car around.

…

Presently, Queenie was getting probed at the police station. Regardless of what the police said, she denied hiring someone to attack Elliot.

Moreover, the surveillance footage from the hotel and the fingerprint left behind at the scene didn't point to her.

Nevertheless, she was a suspect, so she couldn't leave the police station directly. Someone had to bail her out. She called Robert, who soon hung up on her. Are you kidding me?! She recalled the number only to hear dull beeping noises that indicated that the call didn't go through.
