CHAPTER 215
CEO
The culprit who killed Xander was gone. There was no need to investigate further or gather evidence. It all came to an end.
âMiss Lewis, your statement has been recorded. Please go and attend to your injuries,â the police advised.
The assistant chimed in, âMiranda, youâre just too kind. Youâre injured, yet you insist on coming to the police station before going to the hospital.â
Mirandaâs eyes were red, her face worn out. âLetâs not talk about it anymore. Itâs taken care of. Letâs go to the hospital now.â
The assistant helped Miranda walk, who was very weak but still pushing through.
They coincidentally ran into Nina.
Miranda glanced at Nina and remarked, âWhat a coincidence, bumping into you at the police station.â
Nina carefully observed Mirandaâs injured palm and bloodied clothes. âCoincidences are rare, arenât they? Someone fell to their death, and it was from your place.â
Miranda paused for a moment, feigning ignorance. âYou mean that girl?â
She stood calmly and continued, âI donât know why she came to see me and wanted to kill me. Itâs terrifying. I heard she got into trouble, right? Well, maybe desperate people do desperate things.
âBy the way, Iâve met her a few times, all at the York residence. Sheâs pregnant with Nashâs child, right? She even knows about me and Nash. Could it be jealousy, holding a grudge, that made her want to kill me?â Miranda spun her tale, distancing herself completely from any involvement.
âI doubt it,â Nina stared at Miranda. âConsidering all the foolish things Linda did, I bet you had a hand in it.â
âWhat things? I donât understand
what youâre saying. I barely know
her,â Miranda retorted. âIâm the victim here, Nina. The police said Linda fell to her death. Are you still suspecting me?â
âI didnât say that,â Nina replied. âBut you know very well what youâve done. If youâre planning to pull the same tricks again, you should think twice. You might not be so lucky next time!â
There was no such thing as coincidence. Linda had frequent interactions with her, so they must have conspired something.
Miranda might have been the one brainwashing Linda. Just as they were in a stalemate, there was a commotion outside.
Miranda was the first to look, spotting someone entering. Upon seeing the figure, her face filled with grievances, she immediately exclaimed, âNash.â Hearing this, Nina also turned around, indeed seeing Nash striding over.
His expression was stern, his gaze shifting from her to Miranda.
Tears welled up in Mirandaâs eyes again as she cried, âNash, why are you here? Did you receive the news? I almost died. I was so scared. My heart is still trembling.â Observing Mirandaâs display of weakness and pity, Nina noted how she had been quite tough just a moment ago.
Nash glanced at her hand, the simple bandaged wound still bleeding. He furrowed his brows. âYour hand is injured. Why didnât you go to the hospital first?â
Miranda said plaintively, âI wanted to
clarify things with the police before going to the hospital. That way I can feel at ease, especially after someone died in my place.â
âTake care of yourself first before doing anything else!â Nashâs expression turned serious. âYouâre being too stubborn!â
