Chapter 598



.

It was exactly who Nora suspected. She narrowed her eyes and said, “I’ve never doubted Black Cat’s abilities.”

Only then did Ruth nod. “In that case, there’s no need to question them. Captain Brenda, if you really refuse to let us take her, that’s okay too. I’ll ask her some questions right now and in front of you. I’m sure that will do the trick, won’t it?”

Brenda looked at Nora.

Nora looked at everyone outside.

She knew that even she herself probably would have doubted anyone in her position, let alone them.

Her mother was a member of the mysterious organization. Even if she wasn’t, what was certain at that moment was that she was undoubtedly connected to the mysterious organization.

Moreover, she was being very mysterious. They definitely wouldn’t fully trust her.

He nodded his head. “Question.”

As expected of someone who once dared to say in a public forum that Black Cat’s interrogation methods were problematic, Ruth was certainly adept when it came to interrogation methods. She went straight to the heart of the matter and asked, “Miss Smith, I’d like to ask if you have any impressions of your mother.”

Nora remained seated on Brenda’s couch, with her big boss posture. Her voice was cold and crisp as she slowly replied, “If one could retain his memories of when he was a six-month-old baby, perhaps he might still have an impression of her.”

Yvette had died a few months after she was born, so how could he have any impression of her?

g αℓ ησ ν𝒆 ℓs․com takes you away Ruth then asked, “Did she leave you anything?”

Yes, an audio recording.

However, Nora lowered her eyes. She didn’t want them to know the contents of the recording.

Besides, she was sure that there was nothing on the recording related to the case. She looked directly at Ruth and replied, “Yes, but it has nothing to do with the case.”

Ruth’s voice instantly became stern and harsh. “Miss Smith, please cooperate with our investigation! We will decide whether or not you have anything to do with the case after we verify it. Please tell us what your mother left you and where she is.”

Nora stared at her.

Ruth, however, did not panic. She continued to stare at her as well.

Nora lowered her gaze.

It suddenly occurred to her that the Grays had wanted Anthony to marry her even after she became pregnant around that time. They must have wanted something her mother had left behind, right?

Later, Anthony had demanded the small pharmaceutical company his mother had left behind. However, he had been to the company’s premises and searched it before, but had found nothing useful.

And now, Ruth was asking him if his mother had left him anything?

Although he knew that this was a step in the interrogation process and that it was also a necessary procedure; if it had been someone else who had asked him that question, he might not have thought too much about it. But if it was Ruth…

Why did she have the feeling that Ruth was also trying to probe her to find out what that thing was?

Nora didn’t speak.

The atmosphere was suddenly muted.

Even Brenda looked at Nora and said, “Nora, if it’s not very important, why don’t you show it to her.”

“No,” Nora replied.

Nora replied, “It’s about my privacy. It is also my personal property. I have the right to refuse to show it.”

She sounded very firm. Even if she presented the audio recording, she would only let Morris listen to it.

Brenda was silent for a while. Then, without hesitation, he chose to stand in front of her. She confronted Ruth and said, “Nora does have the right to do this.”

Ruth, however, said aggressively, “Finding the roots of the mysterious organization and taking them all down in one fell swoop is what matters most right now. Ms. Smith, as a member of the special department, can’t you cooperate with us?”

She spoke as if Nora would be the biggest sinner in the special department if she didn’t cooperate with them.

The others looked at her too.

Ruth continued. “Besides, don’t you find your background very strange? How did you meet Doctor Silvester Zabe when you were growing up in California? And how did you learn everything you know about surgery? Doctor Zabe was in New York; surely he couldn’t run all the way to California to take you on as his pupil, could he?”

Why no…

It wasn’t just Silvester, but also Quinn and….

Nora looked down and said nothing.

Ruth continued. “Besides, you’ve arrived in New York at a really too casual time. We’ve already done the math. Not long after you arrived, so did Caleb Gray. After Gray’s arrival, Trueman Yale brought his bodyguards and also came here. Since then, Yale has been in constant contact with you. May I know what this is about?” Ruth’s every word hinted that there was something between her and Trueman.

Nora looked down and scoffed, “If it comes to that, you can ask Captain Ford.”

She had always kept Morris abreast of her communication with Trueman.

However, Ruth said, “Are you planning to have Captain Ford protect you? But what bad timing, since something has come up, he’s out today. Therefore, you must explain clearly today. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave the special department.” After Ruth spoke very aggressively, she stepped aside. Instantly, a group of SWAT agents from the special department came forward behind her.

Brenda frowned. “Ruth, what is the meaning of this?”

Ruth adopted a very aggressive attitude and replied, “Captain Brenda, I am in charge of all interrogation matters. Furthermore, Captain Ford has given me the right to act according to my will. Now that Nora is involved with the key figures in the case, she can only be released after she has been thoroughly interrogated. Otherwise, we have good reason to believe that she has relations with the mysterious organization!”

Brenda moved forward and stopped right in front of Nora. “Try to take another step forward! Let’s see which one of you has the guts to take her to the interrogation room while I’m right here.”

“We’re not taking her.”

Ruth said, “We’ll question her right here in her office. Think it over, Miss Smith. We can only trust you if you give us what your mother has left you.”

After speaking, she stepped back and left immediately.

Brenda frowned and looked at the SWAT agents at the door. She knew they were there to keep an eye on them.

Enraged, she immediately pulled out her phone and said, “I’ll call Captain Ford right now and have him come back!”. Unfortunately, after pulling out her phone, she realized there was no signal.

She was stunned for a moment. Then suddenly she realized what was happening. “Holy crap, did they really jam the signal in my office?”

She looked at Nora and said, “Two days ago, when you were sound asleep, Captain Ford received a distress call from the border. Apparently, someone who appears to be from the mysterious organization had shown up there, so he took some men with him and immediately headed out as reinforcements. Before leaving, as it appeared that Ruth was doing a good job of interrogating the suspects, Captain Ford temporarily relinquished interrogation rights to her. But I didn’t expect her to start coming after you.”

Brenda immediately came out with her phone. She said, “Wait for me here, Nora. I’ll go out and get a signal and call Captain Ford. I’ll have him come right back. Even if he can’t, I’ll have him call the department and release you!”

Nora, however, leaned back lazily on the couch and stared at the ceiling.

Even if they couldn’t get him on the phone, Morris would have to come back the next day anyway.

It didn’t matter, he would sleep all day!
