Chapter 458 – An Unbreakable Vow with the Heartless Tycoon

“I think it’s the best policy to tell us what you did. Just give us the confession we need. It’s for the benefit of you and me. Don’t make this more difficult than it already is.”

“You just want me to acknowledge that I started the fire at the presidential house, right? But I didn’t!”

The two officers clamped her shoulders and went lower. Her head was almost on the floor, and the blood started running backward.

“Come on, confess! I’ll give you one last chance. Tell me the truth.”

“How do you expect me to confess something I didn’t do? You’re wronging me!”

“Boss, this woman is too tough, and she is pregnant.”

The officer had his eyebrows frowned. He slammed hard on the table.

“Don’t leave her side. I’ll go and report it.”

Leilani smiled coldly. It was obvious the officer was in charge here. He was the topman. But he had to report it to someone else.

This one, the officer, reported to be the one behind the scenes. This person wanted her to admit to arson and write her name down on the confession.

The officer came in quickly and asked another guy out. The man frowned and said something.

“Are you sure about it? She might not make it.”

“If she confesses, everything will be okay. It’s up to her.”

The man said and waved his hands.

Soon two police officers took Leilani to the interrogation room.

The shut door was opened. Leilani could feel the fierce chill coming at her. Soon the officer cuffed her to the iron chair and bound her hands and legs.

Around Leilani were piles of ice cubes. It was freezing cold

It was almost winter, and the temperature was low.

“When you have a change of heart and decide to make the confession, just hit the red button on the chair. We will come and get you out of here.”

The officer grabbed Leilani by her hair, forcing her to raise her head, and threatened her.

Leilani had to hold back the urge to spit on his face. She said with a cold smile, “Then I probably would stay here forever.”

The officer straightened up his tie and said to his fellow officer, “keep her here for a while. Then let’s see what she will do.”

The door of the ice chamber was shut.

Outside the interrogation room, the officer who just lorded over the place bent over, lowered his head to welcome another man at the door. He said with a timid tone.

“Mr. Bamford…”

He couldn’t help but notice the bags in Waylen’s hands. He got curious. It was certainly not him that Waylen came to see. So he asked with a bit of worry, “Sir, it’s a great honor to have you at our station. To what do we owe the honor?”

“Where is she?”

“Who?”

Waylen grabbed him by his collar and threw him off. It was faster if he found Leilani by himself. The station was not that big.

Waylen walked right and was followed by Tinder. He said to the lawyer next to him, “go and make yourself useful.”

The lawyer was a renowned criminal solicitor. Of the thousands of cases he handled, he never lost one.

Soon the lawyer said to the officer.

“I’m the lawyer of Miss Peters. If the police don’t have definitive evidence against my client, you have no right to keep her here.”

The Sergeant was in a tough spot. He was forced by his superior officers that he had to make Leilani confess to the arson. But he couldn’t afford to mess with Waylen either.

It was the risk he couldn’t afford to take.

So he picked up his phone and called his superior officer again.

“Release her first. She’ll be in here in no time. By then, we will gather enough evidence. The people in B country are not that easy to fool; she won’t get away with it.”

After receiving the order, the Sergeant said to Waylen, “Sir, please wait for a second. I’ll ask them to bring Miss Peters out.”

The officer went to the ice chamber to release Leilani. But he returned on his own.

“Sargeant, Miss Peters refuses to get out.”

Before he finished his words, Waylen was no longer with them.

Waylen kicked off the heavy iron gate of the ice change. There was a huge noise when the door hit the wall, which shocked Leilani.

She wasn’t surprised to see Waylen. She knew he got breakfast. When he didn’t find her at the presidential house, he would definitely find her.

Waylen frowned. The chill could penetrate one’s skin and enter the blood veins.

Without any hesitation, he took off his jacket and put it on Leilani.

“Let’s have breakfast first.”

Then Waylen turned around and punched an officer at his stomach.

“Is this where you kept her overnight?”

The officer would not dare to fight back. Although he was kind of somebody in the station, he was nobody out.

“Sir, please. I really have no idea she knew you.”

This was too cold for her. Leilani didn’t insist. She walked over to the door and opened the bags. It was a big one with kinds of stuff: avocado egg toast, mini breakfast quiche, and freshly squeezed orange juice, etc. Waylen must have spent a lot of time preparing these.

Leilani felt warm. Despite all this, Waylen could get to her in such a short time.

“Mrs. Bamford, Mr. Bamford, had to run the red lights to get here to see you. He’s terrified that something would happen to you. The breakfast is still warm.”

Tinder gently said.

Leilani felt them, and they were warm.

“When Miss Summer had another drug outbreak, she had hallucinations and jumped off from the window on the third floor. She landed on the grass and had brain bleeding and internal bleeding. She also had several broken bones all over her body. Some are better, and some are worse. Mr. Bamford almost didn’t go to sleep all night…”

Tinder meant to say Waylen started on the phone for a long time. But he didn’t send the text to Leilani. He didn’t say it in case Waylen blamed him for saying too much.

Leilani was surprised to hear Diana’s situation. The gravity of her drug addiction shocked her.

Leilani paused and said, “Then, does LAD work?”

Tinder nodded.

“It works. But the dose we give her is not much, so it only works mildly. We also wouldn’t dare to give her too many doses in case she grows dependent on it.”

Leilani kept quiet after what Tinder said. The door of the interrogation was half-closed. She couldn’t see what was going on inside. But she could hear clearly the sound of every punch, and the screaming and yelling of the police officers.

Leilani deliberately asked for small dosages when she negotiated with Mr. Bamford. She was worried Mr. Bamford would accuse her of hiding drugs if she asked for too much at once.

LAD was technically controlled substances. If she possessed too much, she would get in trouble.

After all, she was dealing with Rebecca, who was bent on sending her to prison.

At the same time, the door of another interrogation room was locked from outside. Inside the room was dead silence.

A woman was kept in this room with her hands and feet chained. The iron chains were unusual.

They looked more like dog leashes.

The woman was covered all over with bruises and cuts. Some scars were from fairly fresh wounds. The skins exposed looked horrible. But her clothes were intact.

She had no scars on her face, either. But she seemed numb like she had no soul.

After she heard the sound of the lock opening, she suddenly had the extreme fear and started trembling all over her body.

This time, it was not the officer who tortured her to get the answer that came in.

What slowly appeared underneath her eyes was a pair of women’s shoes and women’s legs.

She held a jar filled with flowing liquids. If taking a closer look, she found something else wobbling away with the jar.

The jar was made from steel glasses. The woman rolled the glass down to her face. She looked at the jar and felt throwing up after she identified what was inside the jar.

“Do you know what it is?”

The girl working in the shop shook her head. She knew what it was, but didn’t know why this woman showed it to her.

“This is an eyeball…”

Her voice was cruel and merciless.

“It belongs to a baby.”

Phew—

The acid water burst out from her stomach, and she threw up all over the floor.

“I thought you should be familiar with it. You give birth to the owner.”

The girl widened her eyes in horror again. She was broken. She couldn’t believe what she heard and went mad.

Suddenly, all the emotions started to get at her at the same time.
