She was exactly the one that Nora was suspicious of!
She narrowed her eyes and said, “I have never doubted Black Cat’s abilities.”
Only then did Ruth nod. “In that case, you don’t need to interrogate them. Captain Brenda, if you really refuse to let us take her away, that’s okay too. I will ask her a few questions right now and right in front of you. Surely that would do, right?”
Brenda looked at Nora.
Nora stared at everyone outside.
She knew that even she herself would probably have doubted someone in her position, let alone them.
Her mother was a member of the mysterious organization. Even if she wasn’t, what was certain at the moment was that she was undoubtedly connected to the mysterious organization!
On top of that, she was being so mysterious. They definitely wouldn’t fully trust her.
She nodded. “Ask away.”
As expected of someone who once dared to say on a public forum that Black Cat’s interrogation methods were problematic, Ruth was certainly skilled when it came to interrogation methods. She went straight to the crux of the matter and asked, “Ms. Smith, I’d like to ask, do you have any impression of your mother?”
Nora remained seated on Brenda’s sofa, her posture like a big boss. Her voice was cool and crisp as she slowly replied, “If one could retain their memories from when they were a six-month-old baby, then perhaps I might still have had an impression of her.”
Yvette had died a few months after she was born. How would she possibly have any impression of her?
Ruth then asked, “Did she leave you anything?”
Yes, an audio recording.
However, Nora lowered her eyes. She didn’t want them to know the content of the recording.
She looked straight at Ruth and answered, “Yes, but it has nothing to do with the case.”
Ruth’s voice instantly turned stern and severe. “Ms. Smith, please cooperate with our investigation! We will decide whether or not it has anything to do with the case after we verify it. Please tell us what your mother left you and where it is!”
Nora looked straight at her.
Ruth, however, was not afraid. She continued to stare at her as well.
Nora lowered her eyes.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that the Grays had wanted Anthony to marry her even after she became pregnant back then. They must have wanted something that her mother had left behind, right?
Later, Anthony had demanded the small pharmaceutical company that her mother had left behind. She had gone to the company premises and searched it before, though, but she hadn’t found anything useful.
And now, Ruth was asking her if her mother had left her anything…
Although she knew that this was a step in the interrogation process and was also a necessary procedure; had it been someone else who had asked her that question, she might not have thought too much into it. But if it was Ruth…
Nora did not speak.
The atmosphere suddenly died down.
Even Brenda looked at Nora and said, “Nora, if it’s not very important, why don’t you show it to them?”
“No,”
Nora replied, “This involves my privacy. It is also my personal belonging. I have the right to refuse to show it to anyone.”
