Chapter 491: Chapter 484: Be Sure to Cooperate Thoroughly with the Investigation
Clara Grant was startled by the sudden movement and instinctively took two steps back. Miles Quinn reacted in a flash, stepping in front of her.
Sandra was quickly restrained by the police and led away.
Miles Quinn turned around, looked at Clara, and asked, "Clara, are you okay?"
Clara shook her head. "I’m fine."
As she spoke, she glanced at Sandra, who was being led away by the police, then said to Miles Quinn, "I just have a feeling that Sandra had something she wanted to say."
"What could she have to say? Probably just begging you to let her off the hook." Miles Quinn also frowned, his gaze following Sandra. ’He never expected she would end up like this.’
Faye Jennings had also followed them out of the dressing room, and she happened to witness the exact moment Miles Quinn shielded Clara behind him.
She watched as Miles Quinn asked Clara, full of concern, if she was alright, and an idea flashed through her mind.
In an instant, she walked over to Clara, asking with an anxious look, "Clara, are you okay?"
Clara glanced at her and shook her head, her expression impassive.
The police captain looked at Miles Quinn and Clara Grant and said, "Second Young Master Quinn, Mrs. Quinn, we’ll be taking Sandra back to the station now."
Miles Quinn nodded. Clara hesitated for a moment but then nodded as well.
Faye Jennings, however, glanced at Sandra in the distance before turning to the police captain and saying, "Please wait a moment."
Turning to Clara and Miles, she continued, "I’d like to say a few words to Sandra. After she leaves, I don’t know if I’ll ever see her again. After all, I’m the one who betrayed her. Even though what she did was wrong, I can’t help but feel guilty."
Then, she turned back to the police captain and asked, "Is that alright? I’ll truly only say a couple of things. I won’t take up too much of your time."
The police captain glanced at her, considered it for a moment, and then nodded. "You can go say a few words to her. But you don’t need to feel guilty. She committed a crime, and every citizen has a duty to report criminals.
This is your civic duty, and you should be proud of your courage in reporting a criminal. But you can rest assured, we won’t reveal to Sandra that you were the one who provided the tip. We protect the safety of our informants."
"Yes, officer, I understand. Thank you." Faye Jennings nodded hurriedly. "So, may I go over now?"
The police captain nodded, gave a slight nod to Clara and Miles, and then walked with Faye Jennings over to where Sandra was.
Sandra was still muttering something. When she saw Faye Jennings approach, she reached out and grabbed her hand, her lips trembling violently. "Fay... Faye... Am... am I... going to die? Am I?"
As she spoke, tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.
Faye Jennings gripped her hand tightly in return, her own face a mask of sorrow. "Sandra, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know it would be like this. I have no idea why they suddenly showed up. If... if I had known, I..."
She was clever, leaving her sentence unfinished but still managing to mislead Sandra into thinking that the arrival of Clara, Miles, and the police had nothing to do with her.
Sandra was at a loss for words, simply crying nonstop. Faye Jennings glanced at the officer beside them, then looked back at Sandra to console her:
"Sandra, don’t worry. Just cooperate with the officers’ investigation and tell them whatever they ask. Confess and you’ll be treated with leniency. The officers will surely give you a lighter sentence."
As she spoke, her hand moved slightly, and she discreetly passed an object from her own palm into Sandra’s. She then squeezed Sandra’s hand tightly, signaling for her to take it.
