The Silent Wife

Chapter 303

Chapter 303 

Rachel followed Janice to the interrogation room. 

“Officer Hawkins, how about I conduct the questioning to avoid any suspicion from arising?” 

While they entered the room, a huge silhouette stepped in Janice and Rachel’s way. The silhouette in question was a cold and stern looking man, looking similar in age to Janice. 

“No need. All of you, get out.” 

One word from Janice was all it took to clear the room before the depressing mood from the hollow room substituted the personnel. 

A calm Rachel said, “So, this is what the interrogation room looks like, huh? Hey, Janice, do you guys keep the criminals here? Is there any surveillance in here?” 

“You should sit down.” After pulling a chair, Janice glanced coldly at Rachel. “I’m not in the mood to joke around with you.” 

Upon saying that, Janice opened her notebook and began the questioning. “Where were you yesterday afternoon?” 

Seeing Janice being so serious caused Rachel’s face to disappear as she sat down. 

“I was at the Riverdale Penitentiary.” 

“Why were you there?” 

“Don’t you know all this? Why are you still asking them?” 

As she slammed the table, Janice roared, “Whatever I ask of you, you must answer them! Let me make this clear that you’re in the Investigation Bureau and I’m the officer of this place. I’m also the person in charge of this kidnapping case today, and I’m not some relative of yours!” 

Clenching her fists, Rachel slowly spoke, “I went to pick Bucky up.” 

“I asked him about the details of my grandmother’s kidnapping five years ago.” 

“Continue.” 

“He said that he wanted to blackmail Justin, which was why he kidnapped my grandmother after knowing the relationship between me and Justin. Originally, he wanted to release her after asking for two million in ransom, but an intervention made him ask for five million instead. He threatened Justin to surrender a bid for land back then, to which Justin promised. However, when I asked who gave the instructions to kidnap, Bucky refused to tell me.”
