Chapter 13

"You'll see that I'm innocent, Abel!"

"Get out!"

The guards dragged her downstairs like a felon on death row while Alana smirked in satisfaction.

Emergency services quickly arrived on the scene. The paramedics performed CPR on the comatose Oscar before he was whisked away to the hospital.

Emmeline, meanwhile, was placed at a temporary detention center.

Not long after, Benjamin arrived, accompanied by the police chief.

She was then brought into the chief's office.

After the door shut behind them, police chief Derrick Campbell uncuffed her.

"Lady, can you not screw with the Rykers? How am I going to hold them off?"

"I told them I wasn't the culprit." She drank some tea. "I already guessed who did it."

"There are no surveillance cameras in the bedroom," Derrick said. "You also left your fingerprints on the scene. Your guesses don't matter."

"What's so hard about it?" She crossed her legs. "Send me back to the detention center. They'll come begging soon enough."

"I know you're little miss amazing but," Derrick continued with a grimace, "I don't see how the Rykers are going to be the ones to beg you. All I know is that they're seeking legal advice to charge you with murder and make sure you get the death penalty!"

"I told you I was going back to the detention center." She rolled her eyes. "Are you going to keep rambling?"

"Are you being sulky right now?" He was immediately apprehensive. "I know you're amazing but can you not mess with me all the time?!"

"Do I look like such a petty person?" Her eyelashes fluttered against her cheek. "I said I'm going back to the detention center. Do you understand me?"

"Mr. Benjamin?" Derrick shot Benjamin a look as if to beg for help.

"Just listen to her." He waved him off. "You worry too much."
