Chapter 229
Later, a police officer arrived to question me about Juliet. I remained silent, leaving the explanation to Violette.
The officer informed me that Juliet had dropped her charges, stating that she wouldn’t pursue the matter further. All I needed to do was apologize to her.
I continued to remain silent.
"What do you know about this killing game? From what we gathered, you’re just an ordinary person who graduated from college a few years ago with little social experience, and you often help homeless children.
"How did you manage to walk out of the ruined building unharmed? And your husband, he’s intellectually disabled with mental issues-sorry."
I had never met the officer questioning me. I understood he was just doing his job and had no intention of offending me when referring to Dexter as intellectually disabled. Nevertheless, I spoke up warily.
"I wouldn’t say I came out unharmed. I did fall down the stairs, resulting in a brain injury. I was in a coma for half a month. I just regained consciousness.
"As for why Juliet was injured, I assume she was overly frightened in that pitch-black environment, leading her to mistake me for an enemy. Thus, I don’t think I owe her an apology," I stated truthfully, though omitting certain details such as intentionally tearing her wound.
"I can vouch for her!" Violette angrily chimed in.
She was also telling the truth. She certainly hadn’t seen me harm Juliet.
Violette had never perceived me as someone who would hurt others, and Juliet’s "malicious" image had been deeply ingrained in her heart. Thus, she was inclined to side with me.
