A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 168

"What? Demi got into a fight with someone? She didn't say a word about it." Margaret's eyes widened in shock.

"Mrs. Moone, calm down a bit. According to the witness, those people started fighting among themselves. It probably had nothing to do with Emi.

"I think they're trying to frame her on purpose," Michael comforted Margaret.

"Is that so? Were those people the same students who keep bullying Demi and Timmy?" Margaret was a bit nervous.

She knew those people and their parents were not people to be trifled with. They were unreasonable and rude. She still remembered that time they surrounded Demi trying to beat her up.

"Yes, it was them. Mrs. Moone, please rest assured that Emi will not be bullied with me around," Michael vowed firmly.

"Oh, Mikey. Why don't you guys wait outside for a bit? I'll go get Emi," Margaret said.

Just as Margaret finished her sentence, Demi's voice came from behind her. "Are you guys looking for me?"

Margaret glanced at Demi, wanting to ask her about the situation. However, she hesitated when she noticed Michael and his colleague were still waiting for them.

Michael repeated himself.

"Do I need to go to the police station?" Demi asked.

"No need. I just need to ask you a few questions and we're done. We won't summon you to the police station unless we have concrete evidence," Michael explained.

"Okay, come on in." Demi stepped aside to let them in.

…

"Tell me what happened." Michael pulled out a recording device while his colleague pulled out a notepad to record her statements by hand.

"I was trying to find Timmy because I heard he was being bullied in the restroom. At first, I was going to fight with them. But, they suddenly started fighting among themselves for some reason. This was what happened. Oh, by the way, I recorded everything."

As Demi spoke, she took out her phone and showed the video to Michael.

In the video, Yudell and his gang were attacking one another viciously, as if they were beasts who had lost control.

"Alright. Send the video to me," Michael said.

Just then, there was another knock on the door. Margaret went to open it. Two men in jackets were standing outside—one was in his forties, the other was in his early twenties.

"Good day, madam. We're police officers from Lynora City. We need to talk to Demi Moone regarding a case. Is she currently living here?" the older man, Zack Murtins, said while showing Margaret his ID card.

The younger man, Henry Arthur, standing beside him also did the same thing.

"Why… Why are police officers from Lynora City looking for Emi?" Margaret stuttered.

"Well…"

When Zack was about to reply, a young woman's voice came from the courtyard. "If you have any business here, refer to me instead."

Demi came out from Timothy's bedroom and walked swiftly toward the front door. She glanced at Margaret. "Grandma, I need some herbs. Could you help buy some for me?"

Demi had a suspicion that these police officers were the ones investigating the car accident. She didn't want to talk about how she was locked in a burning car by the Pitt family in front of Margaret.

She had always downplayed what happened in the Pitt residence. However, if she was sure that Margaret would become heartbroken, she would hide things as best she could.
