My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Hendrix kept silent. The atmosphere in the ward instantly turned awkward, especially for the two police officers. As the people in the ward were all renowned figures, they found it difficult to voice anything. After a pause, one of the policemen looked at me and said, "Miss, come with us to record your statement. As for the specifics, we'll come to a decision after a thorough investigation."

I nodded, but Minnie was a little agitated. She stopped them and said, "You can't take Madam Arianna away without any evidence. Is this the way to handle a case?"

"Sir, we'll solve this matter privately. I'm the victim's father, and I will look into this properly. You needn't concern yourself with this." Pedro, who had not said anything all this while, also finally spoke. Valerie looked on, her gaze conflicted. She locked eyes with me and nodded as well. She said to the two policemen, "We're sorry to have made you come all this way. We
