Chapter 214: Nailing Tina to the Pillar of Shame

The following day at the Jade Gardens villa, Andrew Heisler arrived with the police just as Tina was waking up. She descended the stairs to find several officers seated on the living room sofa, facing Jared Farrell whose expression was indifferent, the atmosphere notably tense. Jennie had called her down and from her, Tina had gathered the essentials of the situation.

Nearby Jade Gardens, at Jade's Park, Elizabeth had been attacked and now lay in a coma in the hospital, critically injured. Disturbingly, where Elizabeth had fallen, she had scrawled "Tina" in her own blood. It was a blatant accusation-Tina was being directly named as the assailant.

As Andrew Heisler was about to speak to Tina, Jared Farrell interrupted, "All surveillance footage from the villa area has been handed over to you. The footage can prove that after returning home with me last night, Tina did not leave again." "Miss Reed," Andrew Heisler addressed Tina with a tone of respect. "Mr. Farrell's provided surveillance indeed proves your innocence. However, due to the complexity of the situation, we still need you to come to the station to make a statement."

He certainly didn't believe that Tina, the young leader of the Mountain Veil Order, could have been so indiscreet as to assault an elderly woman in such a traceable manner. Yet, due to the incident being broadcast on the morning news and a bystander having posted a close-up of the bloody "Tina" online, the procedural steps had to be followed. The Reed family was a frequent topic of gossip in Ensford, and now many believed Elizabeth's misfortune was Tina's vengeful act. After all, why else would the old lady write that particular name?

Online opinion was divided; one side sympathized with Tina, given Elizabeth's prior deeds, while the other condemned her, equating her to the lowest of creatures for allegedly attacking her own grandmother.

With such public attention, Andrew Heisler felt compelled to bring Tina in for questioning, lest people suspect corruption or undue influence from Jared Farrell.

"Let's just go," Tina said, hands in pockets, but Jared Farrell was reluctant to let her face this indignity.

"No worry," Tina smiled, lifting her lips in a slight grin. "I'm curious that the old lady hates me so much she'd rather let the real culprit go just to throw dirt on me."

"Elizabeth is still in a coma," Andrew Heisler sighed, frowning. "The doctors aren't optimistic about her condition. It's uncertain when she might regain consciousness, and even if she does, she might not be able to speak normally." "Oh?" Tina raised her eyebrows slightly, her interest piqued. "Maybe I can make her wake up."

Meanwhile, at the Reed Residence.
