Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1258

Lina frowned and looked at Zuko. He was looking at her too, and they locked eyes, seemingly understanding what the other was thinking.

At that moment, the police arrived.

"Are you Ms. Pamela Thompson?" a police officer asked.

Lina was stunned. "I am..."

The police officer said, "After our preliminary investigation, we suspect someone spiked the beverages at the banquet."

"Who did it? Did you find out?" Lina asked.

The officer looked at her with a complicated expression. "Ms. Thompson, we received an anonymous tip during our investigation that you prepared the beverages for the banquet."

"What? Don't tell me you suspect me?" Lina was stunned, her mind blank.

"We can't rule anyone out who is connected to the case until we have solid evidence," the officer said respectfully, but his eyes were cold. "Ms. Thompson, please come with us to assist with the investigation."

Zuko waited at the police station. He couldn't go in, so he had no idea what was happening. Even though he looked calm, each second was terribly torturous to him.

Jacob had been waiting there with his legal team. Seeing him like that, he walked over and patted his shoulder. "They can only release her if they don't have sufficient evidence. Don't worry, she's fine. The police won't make things difficult for her."

Zuko trusted that. With the Thompsons and Hamertons' power and the accusations being baseless, the police wouldn't dare make things difficult for her.

Still, Zuko would be worried as long as he didn't see Lina.

Jacob checked the time. It had been exactly an hour.

At that moment, a police officer called him over.

In the days following, Lina dared not look at her phone, computer, television, or even answer calls. She practically locked herself in her room, repeatedly sorting out the doubts surrounding the incident from beginning to end.

However, the people out there were worried that she might be affected mentally.

Nicholas and Linda would take turns waiting outside her room. Nicholas even thought of selling the Thompson Group right away, just because "This shitty company gave my darling daughter so many troubles, so I don't want it anymore!"

"Don't be impulsive, Uncle Nicholas!" a deep voice came.

Linda quickly grabbed Zuko's hands as if she had seen her life savior. "I'm so happy that you're here, Zuko! Go talk to Pammy. She only listens to you..."

Nicholas cleared his throat to show his unwillingness. The only thing that remained the same on his old face was his stubbornness since he was young.

Linda rolled her eyes. "Can you grow up? Our son-in-law is here. You're no longer needed! Go now!"

Nicholas pouted but could only allow his wife to drag him away. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Zuko before leaving. "If you manage to convince her... I'll consider letting your dad win at our next fishing trip!"
