Chapter 13

The police car blared as it sped away from the school.

A total of nine people, including Lucille, were in the car, the other eight being the culprits involved in the drowning incident.

As she watched Lucille and the others leave, Zoey suddenly felt a surge of anxiety.

For some reason, she always had a sense that things were going to spiral out of her control.

Zoey immediately called Howard, feigning panic in her voice. "Dad! Bad news! Lucille suddenly reported to the police and took her classmates to the station. Even the Zanes family's daughter, Jenny, is there! What are we going to do? You're supposed to collaborate with the Zanes family soon, right?"

Howard was furious. He screamed on the phone, "That d'mn girl! Let me handle her!"

The incident was so big that even the principal was alarmed and rushed to the police station to find out what happened.

Upon learning that it was Lucille who called the police, the principal's face turned black.

It was that troublesome girl, Lucille, again!

Was she trying to ruin the school's reputation?!

The principal quickly called the dean in an empty corner, "Quickly inform the Zanes family and have them figure out a way to get people out of the police station! We can't let this matter get out to the media. It's crucial that we keep it under wraps."

As soon as Lucille arrived at the police station, she was promptly called in to give her statement alone.

She recounted the events of that night in great detail, and presented the hospital's medical records that she had prepared beforehand.

The medical records clearly indicated that she had suffocated and suffered a heart attack due to drowning.

It was only after an entire night of intense rescue efforts by the doctors that she was finally revived.

After completing her statement, the officer looked at her with sympathy and said, "You may leave now."
