Chapter 147: She Was Doomed
The next day, Evelyn stood in front of the large gates of the Wright Mansion. Bouncers filled the entire area, restricting media access and anything that could disrupt the peace inside.
"We have strict orders not to let you inside," the security personnel declared, standing straight. He looked inside the car, and upon recognizing Evelyn’s team, rejected their entry without a second thought.
Luckily, the media couldn’t see through the tinted windows, dismissing them as just another important friend or distant family of William Wright.
"But you can’t stop a police officer from conducting an investigation," Dravin replied from the front seat, making the man grimace in frustration.
"The family took the body without informing us of their intent to forgo an autopsy. We have every right to know before the body is cremated," Dravin continued, having planned the approach beforehand.
Though Dravin disliked treating a suspect with such regard, Theodore and his team had insisted that Evelyn was innocent and deserved their trust. Wright was a politician who had never dirtied his hands despite countless opportunities, so the police decided to assist him this once.
"But why does she have to come?" the security officer asked, still firm on refusing Evelyn entry. Sophia would cut their throats if they allowed her in.
"We need to question her in front of the victim’s family," Dravin reasoned. When the man still seemed unconvinced, Dravin sighed and glanced at Zevian, signaling he was out of options.
"Please... I won’t take long." Evelyn finally spoke, her words causing the guard to glance at the back seat.
