Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1062

"Andrea, do you still not believe that Jolin sold you out? Do you really think we could have known about King's Diner if she hadn't confessed?"

The slightly friendlier officer tapped his pen lightly against the desk.

The rhythmic thud echoed like a hammer against Andrea's skull, breaking her out in a cold sweat.

"Andrea, the only reason we're still giving you a chance is because you're young. Once a premeditated murder charge sticks, based on this case, you're looking at a decade behind bars, minimum. Only by confessing can you..."

Before he could finish, a knock echoed at the interrogation room door.

A junior officer shot a glance at the female cop. She stood up to answer it, and a panicked Andrea instinctively looked toward the doorway.

To her horror, she saw a vaguely familiar figure being escorted past the room by another officer.

It was a young waiter from King's Diner.

Why had the police brought him in for questioning?

Could this waiter have overheard something? She had only met Jolin at the diner twice.

Both times, she had worn a heavy disguise, her face obscured and bundled up tightly.

The waiter couldn't possibly have recognized her. Or had he accidentally overheard their conversation?

Andrea's entire body went rigidly tense as she watched the female officer hastily shut the door, acting as though she was terrified Andrea might see the passing witness.

But just before the door clicked shut, Andrea caught the female officer mouthing a surprised phrase.

"A new witness?"

After whispering that, the female officer turned to look in the direction the waiter had gone.

The door closed, and the male officer tapped his pen against the table twice more.

"Andrea, if you really don't want to seize this last chance, there's nothing more we can do. Whatever. Take her back."

The male officer started packing up his files, and the nearby recording clerk snapped their laptop shut, rising to their feet.
