Chapter 312
Corinne smiled. “Oh? So you insist that they pursue this
matter until the end if I was the suspect, but now you’re telling me not to pursue it because your best
friend is now the suspect? This is double standards of the highest order!”
Anya was a little embarrassed. “I… I never thought of pursuing the matter. It was my brother who
couldn’t ept that
someone was out to hurt me, so he…”
Corinne’s hands were ironically still in handcuffs, and she leanedzily on the chair as she said, “Sorry,
Miss Anya, but I don’t want to listen to you talk anymore. Let’s leave it to the police to get to the bottom
of the matter.”
Anya lowered her head, but she was still determined to plead on Rosie’s behalf. “I’m sorry, Corinne. It
was our fault for ming you, but Rosie is my best friend. I hope you find it in your heart to be more
magnanimous…”
Corinne ignored Anya outright and nced instead at the calm -looking Lucas just nearby. “You love
your sister dearly, don’t you, Mister Lucas? I don’t think you’d be so magnanimous toward the real
mastermind behind the scenes, right?”
Anya frowned, turned around to look at Lucas, and said. hurriedly, “Lucas, you know that it wasn’t
Rosie’s intention to harm me. She did it for my good, but the way she did it wasn’t right…”
Lucas had no sympathy for Rosie, but since Rosie was his sister’s best friend, he had some concerns
and therefore fell into deep contemtion.
Corinne could see Lucas’s hesitation, so she snorted softly and remarked, “Mister Lucas, I have high
hopes that a man like you will have some principles when ites to doing things. You wouldn’t want
to make a fool of yourself because you practice double standards when ites to your precious
sister.”
Lucas regained hisposure after that pointed remark. He looked at Corinne and smiled slightly to
say, “Don’t worry, Miss Corinne. If the police find out that Chris and his family are telling the truth, I’ll
treat her the same as I treated you.”
Corinne smiled. “Good to hear that.”
Rosie’s emotions copsed on the spot after hearing Lucas’s statement, “It wasn’t me, Lucas! Corinne
framed me! Please… You have to trust me…”
The police officers stepped forward and pressed the
uncooperative Rosie down on the table. They then handcuffed her forcibly and escorted her to the
interrogation room. At the same time, Chris, his wife, and their son were taken to a separate
interrogation room, and a serious investigation was conducted to verify the statements made.

Half an hourter, two police officers came in to uncuff Corinne. They then exined embarrassingly to
her, “After our investigation, we’ve confirmed that Chris‘ statements were all true, and you weren’t
involved in this case at all. We sincerely apologize for our oversight in handling the case and subjecting
you to such harsh treatment when you were hospitalized with your severe allergies…”
After regaining her freedom, Corinne moved her

After regaining her freedom, Corinne moved her
ufortable wrists and replied calmly, “Don’t worry about
1. it. She framed me, and she factored the police into the equation as well. We’re all victims here.”
The two police officers looked at Corinne in surprise, then nced at each other in disbelief. They
thought Corinne would end upining and using them of negligence, but what they received
was instead a show of tolerance and understanding. Mistakes happened from time to time, but most
people who were in Corinne’s situation would hardly show such kindness to them. All that, yet the little
girl in front of them had an open–mindedness far beyond her age, and it was sufficient to touch their
hearts and move them.
One of the police officers said in shame, “We’ve put you through a lot these couple of days. Should we
arrange for a car to bring you home?”
Corinne waved her hand and said, “Don’t bother. I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t want to sit in a
police car anymore!”
Despite her refusal, the two police officers smiled graciously. We understand. We won’t send you off
then. Be careful on your way home!”
They had gained a good impression of Corinne since it was rare for them to meet people who
understood their work as well as she did.
“I will, officer. Don’t worry about me. You should get back to your investigation!”
“Okay.”
Lucas walked toward Corinne with a half–smile after the police officers left, intending to shake hands
with Corinne to make peace after the truth was revealed. Unfortunately for him,
Corinne did not even stop for him and simply walked past him without looking at him. He narrowed his
eyes and felt embarrassed. It was his first time being ignored and looked down on.
