Chapter 337: [Bonus - ]How complicated
"I don’t know what happened. All I remember is that Heaven came to my place because I felt overwhelmed due to a recent breakup. She accompanied me, but she was not pleased with Manager Chu. Heaven already pointed out that Manager Chu wasn’t doing her job, but they didn’t argue."
Paula pressed her lips into an inscrutable line, reclining in the hospital bed while giving her statement to the detectives.
"I don’t know what happened. All I know is that Heaven was beside me when I fell asleep after crying to her." A tear coated her eyes, hands still trembling as she fumbled with them. "I woke up because of the noise and when I went out..."
Paula trailed off as she sniffed, shaking as she recalled the traumatic scene she saw in her living room. She hugged herself to calm her trembling body.
The officers looked at each other before setting their eyes on Paula Shen.
"Miss Shen, we know this is hard for you, but we have to know how this tragic situation happened," said the officer in an understanding manner. "Has Manager Chu and Miss Liu been on bad terms? Was there always a tension between them?"
"No." Paula shook her head. "There were misunderstandings every once in a while because Manager Chu had this unexplained hostility to Heaven. But Heaven is my friend, so... I thought everything was okay."
Paula gazed down at her fingers, hiding the wound on the tip of her thumb, which was already wrapped in a thin bandage.
"Then can you please tell us where you got that wound on your thumb?"
"Huh?" Deep lines appeared between her brows as she gazed up at them. "Are you suspecting me?"
"Miss Shen, this case is an attempted murder. We need to know everything to clear up your name. Your full cooperation is needed, but if you’re innocent, there’s no need to be afraid of."
