Natalie rolled her eyes at Lina and argued, “Of course, I miss him. After all, he is my husband. You'll feel the same
when you're married.”
“Haha. However, I'm not married.” Lina giggled for a while and asked, “By the way, I heard you're going to the
airport later. Is Mr. Thompson coming?”
“Yes. He's coming tonight.” Natalie nodded.
Lina clicked her tongue. “No wonder you were smiling so broadly just now. Looks like I'll have to watch as the two of
you act all lovey-dovey tonight!”
“D*mn you.” Natalie glared at her mischievous friend.
Soon, they arrived at the police station.
Lina parked the car and went in with Natalie.
At that time, Lucy was already in the interrogation room.
When Natalie approached the door, she heard Lucy yelling like a shrew and denying everything she did.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLina couldn't help but twitch her lips. “This woman is beyond salvation. How can she have the cheek to deny
everything when there is strong evidence?”
Natalie chuckled mockingly. “This wouldn't have happened to her if she could admit her mistakes earlier. Anyway,
we don't have to look at her. Let's go to record our statement.”
The security footage and more than a hundred witnesses could prove without question that Lucy assaulted and
slandered Natalie.
Even though Lucy denied everything now, she still couldn't get away with it and would be imprisoned sooner or
later.
Therefore, Natalie thought she didn't have to waste her time arguing with Lucy. Instead, she only had to record her
statement and leave.
In addition, she had no intention to dwell on the case, for the police would inform her about the final verdict.
“You're right.” Lina nodded in agreement. She shot a final disdainful glance at Lucy before following Natalie to
another office.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they finished recording their statements.
Touching her belly, Lina proposed, “I'm a little hungry. Nat, shall we get something to eat?”
Natalie looked at her watch and replied, “Good idea. Let's go.”
Then, they got into he car and looked for a restaurant.
When having lunch, Natalie received a call from the police station. An officer informed her that Lucy caved in after
the interrogation and had come clean on everything.
To Natalie's surprise, a mastermind was behind the slander.
It turned out that Hannah was behind it!
Once Natalie knew the truth, she frowned deeply while her expression turned grim.
She thought Lucy did everything by herself all the while. When Lucy found the social media page and used one of
the designs as her work to join the competition, she undoubtedly stole a peek at other similar designs.
Hence, Natalie initially thought it was logical that Lucy framed her for it.
However, based on Lucy's confession, she never took a closer look to understand Natalie's designs. When Lucy
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaccessed the social media page, she was unaware that the designs were similar to Natalie's. As such, it never
crossed her mind to frame Natalie for plagiarizing in the first place.
Instead, Hannah plotted it all and made a deal with Lucy.
In other words, both of them were accomplices in slandering Natalie.
After knowing the details, Natalie thought the police had to also arrest Hannah for her wrongdoing.
While Natalie was deep in thought, Lina asked in confusion, “Natalie, what happened? Did the police say anything?”
After a while, Natalie decided to tell her everything.
Lina was stunned once she heard the story. “My god! Lucy's not alone?”
“Indeed.” Natalie rubbed her temples, feeling slightly tired.
She used to think Hannah dared not play tricks after the international competition.
It turned out that Natalie was wrong, for Hannah lurked around to wait for the best chance to scheme against her.
This time, Hannah was clever enough to make a deal with Lucy. With that, she didn't have to show herself while
Lucy did everything for her.
That way, even if Lucy was unfortunately arrested, Hannah would still remain safe.
Even if Lucy sold her out, the police probably couldn't arrest her, for she was always ready to escape.
Natalie thought Hannah must've been hiding near the competition hall when Lucy was arrested. Hence, Hannah
probably had run away and gone abroad by now.
