In the police station.
Bonnie was initially a state witness to accuse Armand, but she changed sides and put the blame on the Steward Group.
It was a big case, so the police informed Stella to come to the station for an investigation.
Bonnie was sitting on the couch when Stella arrived at the station. Bonnie was holding a cup, and she looked nervous and scared.
Anyone would think Stella threatened Bonnie based on Bonnieâs reaction.
Stella smiled at Bonnie when she saw her, âWeâve met again, Ms. Derrick.â
Bonnie replied nervously, âMs. Redomil, I...I didnât complete what you asked me to. Iâm really sorry. Itâs all my fault. Donât put the blame on my family...â
Some reporters stayed behind, so theyâve heard what Bonnie said.
Stella said, âTell me, what did I ask you to do?â
âI...â Bonnie bit her lips, âItâs my fault, but my reputation is at stake. I didnât know youâve invited the reporters here to trigger public pressure on the case. Itâll destroy me if I do as you said.â
What Bonnie meant was: She came to accuse Armand according to Stellaâs order, but Stella got the reporters here, hoping to make the case a big deal and destroy Armand, without informing her. Stella didnât care what the case would do to Bonnie at all. So, Bonnie fought for her right and chose to tell the truth to maintain her reputation.
Stella sat on the couch opposite Bonnie, âI didnât realize youâre so good at acting.â
âYes, itâs all my fault. I will not deny anything no matter what you say.â
Stella told Bonnie, âMs. Derrick, this is the police station. Youâre going to be held responsible for your words.â
Bonnie said, âI...â
Stella took out her phone and told the police beside her, âI have a voice clip in it. It is my comment in the case.â
Bonnieâs face went pale after hearing what Stella said.
The voice clip revealed the content of the phone call between Stella and Bonnie that day.
The content included how Bonnie wanted to lodge a police report and contact the media and reporters on the case. It also included how Stella said sheâd help Bonnie and that they were going to send Armand into jail for good.
All reporters who stayed behind stared at Bonnie in a doubtful look after listening to the voice clip.
Bonnie was stunned a little before she continued, âThis is the reason why you made me said those things the other day?â
Then, Bonnie turned to the polices, âNo, this is not how it seemed. She...She gave me the speech and asked me to read it out loud. It is an edited voice clip.â
Stella kept her phone away and continued, âMr. Shawn was there when I went to see her. He can prove that the voice clip wasnât edited.â
A female reporter asked, âYou meant Mr. Donald Shawn?â
Donald didnât seem to be reliable, but he was a famous lawyer in the industry.
Bonnie suddenly stood up, âDonald is the legal advisor of the Steward Group. Theyâre on the same side. Of course, heâd stand up for you.â
The female reporter refuted, âMr. Shawn wouldnât do that.â
Soon, Donald was asked to come down to the police station.
He learned about what happened earlier. Then, he took out another voice clip.
It was the conversation between Christian and them on that day, including the call between Christian and Armand.
Bonnie want to say something else after listening to the voice clip. The female reporter couldnât stand Bonnie anymore. She said, âStop quibbling.
Thatâs the evidence. Do you think weâre dumb?â
Bonnieâs face was pale. She opened her mouth, but she didnât know what to say anymore.
The result of the case was obvious.
After getting out of the police station, the female reporter told Stella, âIâm so sorry for the misunderstanding earlier. Donât worry, I will write another article to clarify the whole thing. Could you send me a copy of the voice clip?â
âOf course.â
The female reporter returned Stellaâs phone to her after sending the copy of the voice clip into her phone. Then, she handed Stella a name card, âYou can call me Daphne Aldrich. Iâm a reporter from City N Press. Call me if you need anything.â
Stella took the name card and said, âThanks.â
âYouâre welcome. This is my job,â Daphne took her bag and waved at Donald, âGoodbye, Mr. Shawn.â
Donald stared at Daphneâs back and raised his brows, âShe knew me?â
Stella remembered how Daphne stood up for Donald in the police station earlier. She smiled and said, âWho knows? She might be one of your fans.â
Donald flipped his hair, âWell, it proves that other than playing the guitars, being handsome can also attract fans.â
Stella felt speechless.
When they were walking away from the police station, Donald asked, âI recorded because of my habit in my job. Why would you do that?â
âPerhaps it was because I always face troubles like these.â
In fact, Stella felt there was something wrong with the whole thing from the start. The company and Christian didnât felt right at all.
So, Stella remained cautious and recorded the conversation between Bonnie and her. She didnât expect it would come into use one day.
Donald said, âGood job. I regretted that I didnât remind you before I came to the station. I didnât know you could be so far-sighted.â
âA fall into the pit, a gain in your wit,â Stella stopped, âOh, have you gotten any clues on the people who helped Logan?â
Donald shook his head, âI havenât gotten any clues yet. They are pretty well-hidden, but...â
âWhat?â
âClarence is investigating in Riverside City. He even sent Vincent over. Iâm guessing those people are probably from Riverside City.â
Stella frowned, âRiverside City?â
âThe clues of what happened recently led to Riverside City. Theyâre the prime suspect.â
Stella said, âI agree with you. It should be them. If they were from Riverside City, whatâs their motive?â

Iâve heard Nathan said that Clarence is going to Riverside City soon. Maybe the answer would come out by then.â
At the same time, Samuel rushed over, âMs. Redomil, Madison called earlier. She said that Noah vomited, and he got admitted into the hospital.â
Stella was stunned for a second. Then, she quickly got into the car.
Donald followed her as well.
Stella found Madison in front of the emergency ward when she arrived at the hospital. Stella tried to calm herself down, but her voice was shaking, âHowâs Noah?â
Madison shook her head, âI donât know... I didnât give him anything. Everything was normal except that heâs been vomiting since he woke up from a nap.â
