Chapter 206
All of the bodyguards shook their heads, and the Windsor’s head bodyguard that had been working for them all his adult life stepped forward. “No, that’s a ridiculous claim. Mrs. Windsor and Chloe wanted to take dirt from the orchard and put it in their New York garden to help their rose bushes grow.” The bodyguard paused, and his face softened. “Chloe is a troubled girl. She likes to tell crazy stories to get people’s attention.”
Back in Olivia’s interrogation room, she cocked her head curiously. “Who called you guys to the Windsor’s orchard? It wasn’t anyone on my team.”
“We had gotten an anonymous call,” the officer answered quickly, then changed the subject. “Listen, Olivia, I’m on your side here,” he said and straightened his red tie.
Olivia frowned and skepticism flowed through her. In her experience, every time that an officer had said that they were on her side, they actually weren’t.
“All the evidence that you and your friend Ava have collected is great,” the officer continued. “You guys have provided us with audio and video proof that Mrs. Windsor and Chloe were involved in… something. But the most crucial piece of evidence is missing.”
Olivia pulled in a sharp breath when she realized what he was saying. “The body,” she whispered.
He pointed at her. “Exactly.”
“The only concrete evidence we have of a crime being committed is by

you and your friends,” the officer said.
Olivia froze, and a ripple of shock went down her spine.
“You trespassed onto the Windsor’s property,” the officer said matter- of–factly. “And you were in the presence of Kelly, who is being charged for attempted murder on Chloe.”
“What are you saying?” Olivia whispered, her voice shaking. She wasn’t worried about herself. She was worried about her friend’s freedom. Especially Aiden, who had been dragged into this and had his whole life ahead of him.
“I’m saying that my colleagues and I don’t know what to think about this situation,” the officer admitted and sighed.
After Ethan was finished giving his statement, he walked out into the waiting room, seemingly calm and collected.
Meanwhile, Alexander was sitting in the police chief’s office with Gai by his side. After Alexander said what he came to say, he stood up and shook hands with the chief. Gai’s eyes were weary, but there was a tired smile on her face.
Five minutes later, the chief’s secretary entered the interrogation room that Olivia was in and whispered something in the officer’s ear.

Olivia wanted to turn back around when she saw that Alexander wan waiting for them, looking refreshed and smiling
Alexander stepped closer to Olivia. The humor was gone from his face, replaced with genuine concern. “It’s alright,” he whispered soothingly, and his warm finger wiped off the dirt from her face. “Tommorrow is a new day.”
Their eyes locked together, and Olivia’s heart stuttered until she wasn’t sure if it was beating anymore. When Alexander’s eyes glanced down to her lips, her stomach swooped, and she forgot where they were for a moment and leaned in slightly.
When someone cleared their throat behind them, the two jumped away like they had been electrocuted.
“I’m starving,” Richard said.
“Me, too,” Aiden agreed and rubbed his stomach.
“Being arrested will do that to you,” Ava said dryly.
