Chapter 218
Nash furrowed his brows, then asked coldly, "Was not it said that the standoff lasted for over ten minutes? No one actually showed up for that long? And in the end, it was that woman who fell off accidentally." "In the room, there were only Miranda and Linda. I thought chatting was not a big deal and did not think much about it. As for the bodyguards who were supposed to protect Miranda, it just happened that she sent them away that day." The assistant recalled everything from that day, her voice trembling slightly, afraid of being blamed by Nash.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
As Miranda's assistant, she had not played much of a role at a critical moment.
"Who called the police?" Nash asked again. "The police arrived so quickly."
Based on the speed of the police response at that time, it could not be that they knew someone was targeting Miranda before calling the police. It must have been before.
The assistant hesitated and did not speak. She did not know who called the police, but the police had already arrived. She only knew that Miranda had been kidnapped after hearing the sound of police cars.
"I called the police," Miranda said softly and weakly, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face. She wiped them away with a tissue. "Linda was already out of her mind at that time. She told me some inexplicable things, said she had done a lot of unethical things, and the police were coming to arrest her."
Her gaze shifted towards the door where Nina stood. "Nina, I only found out from Linda's mouth that she actually killed your uncle. My condolences to you. Even the kidnapping was done by Linda. This woman is too evil. How could I let her go unpunished? I called the police immediately!
"She only wanted to kill me because she saw me calling the police!" Miranda's face was filled with fear.
Nina had only intended to accompany, not to speak, but Miranda mentioned her. According to Miranda's implication, she knew Linda was the culprit, so she called the police. Miranda deserved her thank but if only the situation were that simple.
Once she stepped in, she could not
remain silent any longer. She questioned Then answer my doubts. Why did Linda say those things in front of you? If you were close, She wouldn't want to kill you. If you weren't, why did she come to you? You said she was crazy, so did you say something to drive her mad?"

Miranda hesitated, lacking sufficient reason to explain why Linda approached her. Lowering her head, her words became ambiguous. "K don't know either. Perhaps we few times... Did she want to hang out with me? Or did she have a grudge against me... I don't know."
She shook her head, becoming agitated. "I really don't know why she came to me. She fell accidentally, so much blood... My head hurts.
"It hurts... I can't bear it."
She covered her ears, clearly in pain.
Nina pursed her lips. With Miranda like this, she had no choice but to swallow her questions for now.
"Miranda, Miranda," the assistant
worriedly approached, but it was not appropriate to cause a scene in front of Nash. She could only complain, "Miss Walker, could you please. stop? Miranda is the victim, she almost died. You're interrogating her like she's the criminal. How can she handle it? The doctor said she's under stress, bad for her health, yet you persist..."
"Enough!" Nash interrupted the assistant's words.
