Chapter 51

But unexpectedly, the other party wasn't lying.

In the afternoon, the police came directly to the door. After showing their IDs, they asked Christina, "Are you Christina?"

Christina was stunned for a moment, "Yes, that's me!"

Elisa heard voices at the door and poked her head out, "Christina, who is it?"

"Nothing." Christina didn't want to tell her, to avoid worrying her.

Unexpectedly, Elisa walked out directly and saw the police officers in uniform, her face turned a bit ugly, "What do you want with my daughter?"

The police officer said seriously, "It's about Kaitlyn's case. We have some questions for your daughter."

"How can you believe those rumors online? They are not insiders. Who called the police? They are harming my daughter." Elisa had obviously seen some bad comments online, so she knew a bit and came out to defend her.

Christina didn't want her to get involved in these matters.

She patted Elisa's hand, "Mom, don't worry, the innocent will be proven innocent."

The police officer said expressionlessly, "If you have time, please come with us to the station to cooperate with the investigation."

"What do you mean? Are you arresting her? No way." Elisa was like a mother hen protecting her chick.

Christina gently tugged on Elisa's sleeve, signaling her to calm down. She knew that getting agitated at this time would only make things worse.

"Mom, it's okay. Cooperating with the investigation is a normal procedure. I will go with them to prove my innocence." Christina's tone was calm, but there was a hint of determination in her eyes.

Elisa wanted to say something more, but in the end, she just nodded, looking worriedly at her daughter, "Be careful, don't let anyone bully you."

Christina smiled and nodded, comforting her mother with a few words, then turned and followed the police.

At the police station, Christina was placed in a small room for questioning.

The police's questions were very detailed, starting from how she met Kaitlyn to their recent interactions, not missing a single detail.

"Ms. Windsor, when was the last time you saw Kaitlyn?"

"After coming back from the work site, I took her to the hospital." Christina said calmly.

The police asked, "We heard from the architecture department that you had a dispute before."

"It wasn't really a dispute, just a small misunderstanding. We had just met the day before the business trip." Christina answered truthfully.

"What misunderstanding?" The police pressed on.

Christina smiled and answered seriously, "She had someone she liked, and I happened to be close to that person and had to go on a business trip together, so we had a quarrel. The architecture department should have surveillance footage."

Everything was asked clearly from beginning to end.

Christina smiled faintly, "If you suspect I drugged her, you can ask. Kaitlyn wasn't part of the business trip initially. She wanted to go out and joined the car the next day. I was already in the car by then, how could I have prepared those things?"

The police were speechless.

To be honest, accusing her of drugging someone was indeed far-fetched.

But with enthusiastic citizens reporting, they had to investigate.

"Ms. Windsor, please do not leave the city recently and be available for further questioning." The police officer closed the record, looking serious.

"Of course, I have a clear conscience and am not afraid of investigation." Christina laughed.

Her daughter was suspected of murder, and now she was taken to the police station for questioning. Elisa was really worried. After much hesitation, she decided to find Raymond.

"There are some things I shouldn't ask you, but..."

Her hesitant look made Raymond helpless, "What do you want to say? Just say it."

"It's about the recent online rumors, saying my daughter harmed someone. How could my daughter harm anyone?" Elisa walked up to him, placing her hand on his, looking sincere.

"You know my daughter's character best, timid and kind, how could she do such a thing?"

Raymond sighed.

"The public opinion is so strong, it's hard to handle."

Raymond's words made Elisa feel even more disheartened. She knew how terrifying public opinion could be, capable of easily destroying a person's reputation and future.

She looked at Raymond helplessly, tears glistening in her eyes.

Raymond looked at her with pity, gently patting her hand, comforting, "Don't worry, I'll ask William for help. He should have a way."

Elisa nodded, still worried but knowing she could only trust Raymond and Christina now.

William didn't refuse and agreed to help investigate.

Before Kaitlyn returned to the city's hospital for treatment, rumors had already started spreading online.

There was only one possibility, the problem lay with the construction team and their survey team.

He first contacted the head of the construction team to understand the situation at the time. The head naturally wouldn't say anything directly, but under William's questioning, he revealed some information.

He mentioned that before Kaitlyn's incident, some team members were discussing Christina and Kaitlyn, but he didn't know the specifics.

William frowned and hung up the phone.

Jennifer, who was outside the door, heard their conversation and felt scared.

If William found out about this, it would be bad. But she hadn't been involved in the construction team's matters, so it wouldn't be too hard to clear herself.

She immediately called someone, asking them to take the risk of spreading the rumors and offered a high profit.

After hanging up, Jennifer's delicate face showed a hint of nervousness, but she quickly concealed it. She knew that any panic at this time could become a clue for William to trace the truth.

She thought she could fool William, but unexpectedly, William had already found clues before officially starting the investigation.

In just two days, he had traced the source of the rumors clearly.

He called Jennifer.

"Where are you?"

Jennifer suppressed her panic, "I'm at the hospital with my father visiting Kaitlyn."

Her father had been a student under Kelvin, and although he had been independent for many years, he still felt grateful to Kelvin.

Upon hearing about Kaitlyn's incident from the news, he naturally came to visit. Since she was also in the industry, she was brought along by her father.

There was a deathly silence on the other end. Jennifer knew William was investigating and feared being found out, so she quickly said, "Mr. Cavendish, if you need me, I can come over right away."

"No need, I'll come to you." William said and hung up.

Hearing the busy tone on the other end, Jennifer felt anxious, every minute and second felt like a punishment!
