She pointed at me and roared, "Get out of here. I don't want to see you, get lost!"
I pursed my lips and stared at her with an expressionless face, then my gaze fell on Hendrix. At the
sight of her relying on him, the pain in my heart began to grow.
Looking at Valerie and Pedro, she raised her voice and uttered, "Mom, Dad, I'm going to press
charges. She intentionally tried to harm me, so I'm going to report her!"
As she spoke, she fumbled for her cell phone.
For some reason, Valerie and Pedro did not hand their phones to her. Instead, they looked at her with NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
mixed feelings, but more so at me.
Hendrix remained silent. He let her look for her own phone with a gloomy expression and saw that she
make the call by herself.
"Hello, is this the police? I'd like to report an assault! Physical harm has been caused!"
Then, she quickly reported the address.
I stole a glance at Hendrix. He looked grim but still completely quiet as always.
Josiah settled his gaze on me and lightly said, "Let's go, I'll send you back!"
Pursing my lips, I then replied without a care, "I'll wait for the police!"
Josiah frowned. "Hendrix is here, he'll deal with it. Let's go, I'll send you back!"
I sneered. My gaze shifted to Hendrix. "Once I leave, I'll be accused of fleeing the crime scene, no?"
Josiah did not say anything more as he looked at Hendrix. Though he waited for Hendrix to say
something, the latter looked like he did not have any intention of meddling in this.
Shortly, two young men in police uniforms arrived. When they saw the people in the ward, they were
taken by surprise. It seemed like they recognized everyone.
After all, the people present were well-known figures in Jarold City who had likely appeared in the
headlines a number of times.
The two young men stormed to the front of Andrea's bed and asked, "Are you Miss Burton? Were you
the one who called the police earlier?"
A deafening silence hung heavy in the ward. Andrea glimpsed at Valerie and Pedro and felt it unusual
that they hadn't said a word from the beginning.
However, without thinking much, she looked my way, then pointed at me and said, "It's her. I want to
report her for attempted murder."
The two young men stared at me before walking up to me. "Miss, please come with us." They said.
"It's not her, sir. I can testify that Madam Arianna didn't kill anyone." Minnie showed up out of the blue.
She stood in front of them and said, "Sir, Madam Arianna didn't kill anyone. You've got the wrong
person."
All of a sudden, Andrea gave out a cold smirk. "If not her, then could I possibly have stabbed myself?"
Minnie glared at her angrily and roared, "That's right, you hurt yourself. You're trying to frame Madam
Nerissa."
Andrea did not expect such retaliation. She scowled at her furiously. "You're slandering me." She
looked at Hendrix and said, "Hendrix, you saw, right? You saw her hurt me, didn't you?"
Agitated, she added, "Aunt Nerissa as well, she was there too. She can be my witness."
She reached for her phone and called Nerissa immediately. A phone rang from the corridor outside.
Nerissa was already in the hospital, but she had been in the main hall the whole time.
She came over when Andrea called her. When she saw the people in the ward, she couldn't help but
frown.
Andrea saw her and exclaimed, "Aunt Nerissa, tell the police that Arianna is the one who stabbed me.
She wanted to kill me. You saw it. Tell them, okay?"
Nerissa looked at Hendrix. His expression was dark, his gaze profound, his emotions unreadable.
She side- eyed me, faintly frowned and muttered, "I was in the bedroom when that happened. I don't
know what happened exactly. When I came out, you had already been brought into the ambulance by
Hendrix."
Andrea looked at her in disbelief. She was on the verge of breaking down. "Aunt Nerissa, you clearly
saw what happened. Why won't you tell them?"
The policemen were caught in a bit of a dilemma and were unsure of what was going on at the
moment.
Andrea pulled at Hendrix, her eyes turning red. "Hendrix, you saw it with your own two eyes. Tell them
that Arianna wanted to kill me, hurry up!"
Hendrix pressed his lips into a thin line and remained silent. His terrifyingly deep gaze fell on me.
