Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 302 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Makenna was also making investigation records; two police officers, one male, and one female were sitting by her bed, asking her questions.

"Ms. Gardner, just to be clear, you do believe Ms. Reed had put the hit out on you, don't you?" The policeman looked deep into Makenna's eyes.

Next to him, the policewoman was recording everything with a recorder.

Makenna nodded affirmatively. "Of course!"

"If it turns out not to be Ms. Reed, your statement will be a false accusation and you will be liable for slandering. Ms. Gardner, are you sure about this?" The policeman deliberately spoke slower and clearer to make himself sound more serious.

Her heart skipped a beat when hearing the word "liable". She thought for a moment and remembered what she had seen on the livestream. Amber said she could prove that she had done her no harm by the end of the day.

She's worried that Amber could really prove it, and she's talked to a lawyer, and if Amber can prove that she didn't do it, and then she's guilty of false accusation, she would face up to 3 years in prison.

She started this whole thing because she didn't think Amber had any evidence, couldn't come up with it, but now she's not so sure.

But she had come this far, and there was no turning back, so she just kept going, taking her chances, betting on Amber's empty words.

Thinking about it, Makenna hid her uneasiness and nodded with a smile, "I'm sure."

"Okay, I got it." The policeman stood up and was ready to leave.

Just then, the policewoman's cell phone rang.

She took it out and looked at it and handed it to the policeman, "Captain, it's from the station."

The policeman took the phone and answered it.

Two minutes later, his brow furrowed and his eyes gave Makenna an odd look.

Makenna felt a bit scared by his look, but quickly calmed down again and pretended that nothing was wrong. "Understood, I'll ask." The policeman finished and put down his phone and handed it back to the policewoman.

"Ms. Gardner," the policeman looked at Makenna, "Do you know a man called Luis Evans?"

Hearing this name, Makenna's expression changed slightly.

The policeman saw this and immediately knew the answer.

He pushed his glasses, "It seems that you do know him. Luis Evans threw sulfuric acid on Ms. Reed. He has been placed in criminal detention, according to his statement, he would only do this to Ms. Reed, solely because of a phone call from you, and in that phone call, you made it very clear what you wanted him to do. Is this what you're doing?"

Makenna's heart raced, like it was about to jump out; her hands and feet were cold.

Half-drooping her eyelids, not daring to meet the male cop's sharp gaze, "Of course not, I did make a phone call to him, but I don't think I was encouraging him to do it to Amber."

"But according to our investigation, you hate Luis, you never contacted him since you graduated from high school, and today you suddenly contacted him and said those things that have underlying meanings to him, how do you explain that?" The policeman narrowed his eyes and examined her.

Makenna suddenly covered her face and cried, "I didn't want to, horrible thing happened to me, my fiancé broke off the engagement with me, my parents found my sister, they were busy trying to bond with my sister. I was all alone. I desperately wanted to talk to someone, but I couldn't replace anyone, just at that time, Luis asked about me, so I just called to have a talk with him, but..."

"But what?" The policeman stared at her closely.

Makenna was sobbing, "But I did not encourage him, I just told him about my mood and thoughts, if you were me, such a thing happened to you, would you not hate the person who hurt you?" "Of course, I would." The policeman pondered for two seconds and nodded back.

Makenna's eyes flashed a gleam of light, and added, "Since you understand my feelings, then why did you say I had instigated Luis to hurt Amber? I only said I hated Amber so much and did not want to see her, but I did not ask Luis to do anything, it was he himself who misunderstood my words. It has nothing to do with me."

"You have a point, in that case, then I will go back to the bureau to discuss with my superior, you have a good rest."

With these words, the policeman and the policewoman left Makenna's ward.

In the elevator, the policewoman handed the recorder to the policeman, "Captain, this Makenna is obviously abetting others to commit crimes, and she just wouldn't admit it."

"Yes, she definitely abetted Luis Evans. Just then Hank told me on the phone, after Makenna's accident, Luis approached Makenna several times, wanting Makenna to marry him. He said that Makenna was tarnished, she's a whore that no one wants except for him. As a result, Makenna held a grudge against Luis." The policeman said.

The policewoman's eyes widened, "Captain, you mean, Makenna deliberately encourage Luis, let Luis hurt Amber, in this way, Amber suffered, at the same time, Luis also have to go to prison, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Yes, that's what it means," the policeman nodded.

The policewoman gasped. "God, she's so meticulous. It's awful."

"Yes, and she is extremely strong psychologically, just now I asked her directly whether she encourage Luis, she only panicked for a moment, then she adjusted her mentality and used tears to dodge my question, it was very reasonable as well." The policeman's face was very serious.

The policewoman said, "That's what's so great about her. We all know she's abetting Luis, but what she said to Luis on the phone didn't really sound like abetting, didn't sound like abetting... If Ms. Reed cannot prove her innocence tonight, then she's going to be in trouble!"

"Yes," the policeman nodded. "Hopefully Ms. Reed can prove it. If she can't, we'll just have to catch six men."

"But the surveillance of Saurock Avenue was all destroyed by a virus, we do not even have the basic information of the six men and it's very difficult to catch them, otherwise we would have them by now." The policewoman said.

The policeman pressed down on the brim of his hat and said nothing.

In front of the Farrell Group tower.

Amber parked the car, then unbuckled her seat belt and got out.

Jared got out of the car as well.

Amber walked around the front of the car to him. "Thank you for today. Here's your car key."

"You can drive it back. It's too much trouble to hail a taxi." Jared looked at the key and didn't take it.

Amber thought about it and put her hand down. "I'll have someone drive it back tomorrow."

Jared made a noise of acknowledgment.

"I'll leave then."

Jared made another noise of acknowledgment.

Amber turned around, got back in the driver's seat, and backed away.

Jared stood there; watching her go until he couldn't see her anymore, then he took his eyes off her and headed for the door.

Back at Goldstone, Sheila immediately went to Amber's office and said, "Ms. Reed, the delisting approval came down, and now Goldstone is out of the stock market."

She gave a file to Amber.

Amber took it and looked at it. "OK, you can call the PR department and get the message out."

Exit from the stock market means that from this point on, Goldstone will no longer be a public company.

Since it's not a public company, if there's going to be another scandal, Goldstone would not have the problem of stock fall, and as for the general public boycotting Goldstone's products... Amber laughed. Goldstone mainly produces large machinery, and these machines are not sold to the general public, so she was not worried about sales at all.

"All right, Ms. Reed," Sheila nodded.

Amber closed the file and put it away. "And one more thing."☐☐☐☐☐☐
