CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 101

Suddenly, a designer showed up with two police officers behind her. She pointed at Natalie and said, “It’s her.”

Consequently, the police officers approached Natalie and showed her their identification tags. “Hello, Ms. Smith. We received an anonymous report alleging that you have intentionally hurt a person, causing the victim to suffer from a concussion. You are under arrest for first-degree assault. We need to take you into custody. Please cooperate with us.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

She knew she wouldn’t be able to talk her way out of this and would have to make the trip with them no matter what. Thus, she nodded in agreement.

Nevertheless, Natalie was shocked because Susan’s injury was way more serious than she expected.

As Natalie thought about it, she couldn’t help but shudder. It seems like Jasmine was planning to push me to my death. I was lucky to have evaded her attack.

In the end, the police officers brought her away while everyone had their eyes glued to Natalie’s retreating figure.

After they reached the police station, a police officer confiscated her phone and brought her into an isolated room.

Natalie’s heart skipped a beat the moment she caught a glimpse of the nameplate on the door. She was about to say something, yet the police officer pushed her into the room violently.

As a result, she staggered and knocked her tummy against the table edge in the interrogation room. She gasped and started to break out in cold sweat due to the excruciating sensation. Yet, the police

officer turned a blind eye to her plight and took a seat opposite her.

He knocked on the table and instructed, “Hurry up and take a seat! I need to get your statement!”

Holding on to her tummy as she glared at the police officer, Natalie refused to give in to his demand and rebuked, “Sir, I’m merely here to assist you in the investigation. Why did you bring me to the interrogation room when you have yet to prove me guilty?”

He stared at her wide-eyed because he didn’t expect she would rebuke him. “Well... Does that mean you’re trying to defy my instructions? Why did I bring you to the interrogation room? Isn’t it obvious? How are you going to prove yourself innocent now that you are already in the police station?”

Natalie was taken aback by his absurd statement. It took her a few seconds to snap out of her bewilderment. The frustrated woman yelled, “What kind of joke is this? I’m convicted because I’m in the police station? If that’s the case, does that mean those who have been brought back to the police station are criminals? Where’s the chief of police? I need to speak to him!”

Once she made herself clear, she strode towards the entrance.

The police officer cast a stern gaze at Natalie and brought himself up from his seat. He rushed over and assaulted her from the back with his baton.

Natalie shrieked in pain and fell to the ground. She endured the pain and stared at the police officer in disbelief.

Meanwhile, he looked down on her as he warned, “You better behave yourself because we have received instructions from a certain someone. As long as we do not go overboard, we’re free to teach you a lesson as we see fit!”

Natalie was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing his words because he seemed to have been bribed by someone else and was given the task to force her into submission.

That must be the reason why she had been brought into the interrogation room right after she reached the police station.

As for the one who had bribed the police officer, she couldn’t think of anyone else apart from Jasmine.

After Natalie calmed down, the police officer cast his baton aside and confronted, “Why don’t you tell me about the motive behind your action? Why did you push the victim?”

She brought herself up from the ground and rebutted in a hoarse voice, “I didn’t! I wasn’t the one who pushed her!”

He was about to take her statement, yet he stopped and looked at her. “Are you still trying to deny your responsibility?”

“What do you mean? Why should I admit to the things I didn’t do?”

“You!” The police officer was rendered speechless by her words.

In the end, he resorted to all sorts of interrogation methods at his disposal, but Natalie insisted she hadn’t pushed anyone.

He scratched his head in confusion because he had run out of methods to deal with her.

Although the mastermind said it would be fine to teach her a lesson, he couldn’t possibly resort to violence to force her into submission.

Since there wasn’t anything else he could do, he had no choice but to throw her behind bars for the time being.

Natalie, who had been thrown behind bars, stood right next to the entrance of her cell and demanded to be set free, but the police officers that had passed by the cell behaved as though they couldn’t hear her.

Eventually, she got exhausted and returned to the bench to take a seat.

She couldn’t get in touch with anyone else since she didn’t have her phone with her. There wasn’t any clock available in the cell. Thus, she had to wait in silence because she was certain they couldn’t keep her behind bars forever.

After some time, the temperature inside the isolated cell dropped drastically. Natalie started to tremble in cold. A few seconds later, she felt lightheaded as though she would soon pass out.

As she could barely hold herself together, she lay on the bench in an attempt to keep herself conscious.
