No Remarriage for Us: Stay Away

Chapter 501 Dodge A Bullet

"This is a long story. Where are you now?"

"On the way to the police station."

"I'll go there too," Lenora said.

"All right, we'll talk when we meet."

After ending the call, Sophia placed her phone into the armrest compartment next to her.

At the police station, after taking down the statements from Sophia and Zephyr, the police officer turned to Zephyr and asked, "All right, explain how you managed to locate the flour mill." Zephyr recounted the events truthfully.

"Lenora Wilkin? Is she a friend of yours?"

"Yes."

"How did she find out?"

"I'm not sure. She'll be coming over later. You can ask her then."

The police officer glanced at his partner's computer records and gave a nod. "Next question, who is Isla?"

"Isla's full name is Isla Wilson. She is Matthew Xenos' niece," Sophia replied softly.

The police officer took a sip of water and asked almost instinctively, "Who's Matthew Xenos?"

Sophia remained silent, raising her index finger and pointing toward the ceiling.

The police officer understood instantly, almost choking in surprise. He coughed a few times before asking, "Does she have any grudge against you, Ms. Tortell?"

"Not really, but there were plenty of scores to settle..."

Sophia began to recount to the police officer, piece by piece, the friction between her and Isla-from Sloummont to Jacaster.

"Surely, it's because of that time when Nora and I smashed her car. She wanted to retaliate but couldn't find the right opportunity to target Nora, so she had no choice but to come after me." As the police officer listened, he couldn't help but let his mind wander.

Once Sophia finished speaking, he rose to his feet. "You two wait here for a bit. I need to step out for a moment."

After he left, the police officer who was taking records also departed.
