Chapter 384: Her Biological Father Steps In
"Do you know that the Miller family is nobility in Country W? Do you think such nobility can be slandered by someone like you? Miss Davis, do you even understand the law? Oh, I suppose not—after all, you’ve only recently arrived in Country W. It’s no surprise you act like an idiot," the officer sneered, his tone dripping with contempt.
Ella remained composed, her gaze steady. "I want a lawyer. Please contact my attorney."
The officer, his face cold, handed Ella her phone. She dialed Eric’s number, said a few succinct sentences, and ended the call.
"Officer, I’ve already told you what I know. I did meet Miss Hannah, and we spoke briefly in the private room. She left in a hurry afterward, and that bag of heroin must have been left by her or planted by someone to frame me," Ella stated calmly, her poise unnerving the officer.
Before he could respond, the officer’s phone rang. After a brief conversation, his demeanor softened slightly as he returned.
"My superior has instructed me to go easy on you for now since your lawyer is on the way to post bail. However, I’ve also informed Miss Hannah and the Miller family. Don’t think you can easily accuse them without consequences. You might want to rethink your statement before you anger the commissioner," he warned.
Ella blinked, unfazed. She hadn’t done anything wrong—why should she change her story?
Before long, Rylee and the Miller family’s lawyer arrived.
Rylee, of course, denied any involvement with the drugs, and the lawyer skillfully sidestepped direct answers, defending her impeccably.
When Eric and his legal team arrived, the station’s head officer also appeared. His expression darkened when he heard that Ella was accusing Rylee.
"Mr. Nelson," the officer began, "I recognize your contributions to Country W, but this case has escalated into a legal matter. I cannot authorize the release of this young lady. The Miller family’s reputation is at stake, and we need to investigate fully before anyone is let go."
