CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 696

“"Besides, she’s nowhere near my mom’s age—she looks about the same age as me."

After finishing his questioning, the officer turned back to Suzy. “Do you know the deceased?”

“No, I don’t,” Suzy replied calmly. “As he just said, I don’t know the victim at all. Why would I kill someone I’ve never even met? And why would I be so foolish as to commit murder in broad daylight?”

“Even if you didn’t know her, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t kill her!” Vivian’s son shouted, his emotions boiling over.

He jabbed his finger toward Suzy, his face twisted with rage.

“You murdered my mom! Stop lying and admit it! Officer, arrest her already! She killed my mother, and she must pay for it!”

The officers tried to calm him down.

“Sir, please calm yourself. We understand you’re grieving the loss of your mother, but whether she committed the crime or not will require further investigation.”

One of the officers stepped forward, holding handcuffs. “Miss, whether or not you’re guilty, your presence at the scene means we need you to come with us for further questioning.”

And with that, Suzy was taken into custody.

It was the first time in her life she’d been taken to the police station in such a manner.

After giving her statement, Suzy made a request. “Can I make a phone call to my family?”

Once granted permission, she called Allen. “I’m at the police station. Come over.”

Allen didn’t think much of it at first, assuming Suzy was at the station for routine business. He had no idea she’d been arrested as a murder suspect.

When he arrived at the station and learned that Suzy was being held as a suspect, his face darkened. “Murder? That’s impossible! You must have the wrong person!”

Allen refrained from saying too much before seeing Suzy, as he didn’t fully understand the situation yet.

One of the officers asked him, “What’s your relationship with Suzy?”

"Boss, we’ve been set up!" Allen said as soon as they were face-to-face.

Suzy gestured for him to lower his voice. "Since they want to put me behind bars, I’ll play along. Leave everything outside to you.

“And one more thing... look into Vivian’s son. Find out what they offered him to make him abandon his own mother."

"I should’ve gone with you. At least then, I could’ve had your back," Allen said, his frustration evident.

"Even if you had, we wouldn’t have been locked up together. When have you ever seen male and female prisoners kept in the same cell?"

"How can you still joke at a time like this?" Allen looked visibly unsettled.

"What do you think they’re really trying to do?"

"Whatever it is, I’ll see it through to the end."
