Chapter 143
The police officers were not the only people who had this thought. Sergio had been watching outside the interrogation room. He smiled and said, “This girl has some guts. No wonder you care so much.”
Jalen looked at Elaina. He could not help but smile. “She is very special.”
She was Elaina, his ex-wife and the woman he found the most difficult to understand.
“But you have to be mentally prepared. Although she is your person, this matter is not easy to deal with. After all, the evidence is conclusive. If you can’t find evidence to prove her innocence, she may have to go to court,” Sergio reminded kindly.
Jalen was very influential in New York. But everyone was equal before the law. If Elaina did kill someone, even Jalen wouldn’t be able to cover her up.
Jalen nodded. He understood it. “I believe in her.”
“Alright. Then find the evidence as soon as possible. The higher-ups are very concerned about this case. The Lory family has also put a lot of pressure on us. You don’t have much time.”
“OK.” Jalen left after saying that. But he turned back to Sergio again and said, “Take good care of her for me.”
“Don’t worry. She will be fine with me here.”
Jalen left the police station, while Elaina was still being interrogated.
After Theodore and Andrew learned of this, they immediately hired a lawyer for Elaina and came to see her. After seeing that she was fine, they left to look for evidence..
Elaina was not too worried. After all, she didn’t do it. In addition, she trusted Theodore’s and
Andrew’s abilities. She believed that they would find evidence.
“Sergio, you must give me an explanation as soon as possible. Don’t think that she can do anything just because she has Jalen’s support. The Lory family are not people you can trifle with!”
Sergio felt bitter. He could not afford to offend any of these people from big families. “Don’t worry,
Mr. Lory. We will enforce the law impartially. No one can delay the progress of our investigation.”
In other words, the police wouldn’t be affected by Jalen or the Lory family.
Ernesto knew what Sergio meant. He snorted, “I hope so. If I find out that you want to cover her up, I won’t let you go!”
“Don’t worry. We will definitely bring peace to the victim.”
Ernesto and Sergio continued negotiating. Alisha was staring at Elaina in the interrogation room. After thinking for a moment, Alisha said to Sergio, “Captain Russett, can I go in and talk to her?”
