Chapter 247

William knew that someone as cunning as her would first think of making excuses when faced with such a situation.

Things were exactly as he had imagined, and there was no evidence to support many of the claims. In other words, if she didn't admit it herself, there was nothing they could do to her!

The female officer frowned. "You haven't even explained your own situation clearly. Don't talk about anything else. And your face is disfigured. Let me see what it looks like!"

Jennifer immediately lowered her head, covering her face with the bandages.

"No, you can't look!"

"What's there to hide?" The female officer's tone became stern. "This is all evidence related to the case. We have the right to examine it."

Jennifer's body trembled, and she slowly removed the bandages from her face. The wound had been stitched up, and a long scar, like a centipede, crawled across her cheek, making it a shocking sight.

Even the seasoned female officer was taken aback, covering her mouth in surprise.

Seeing the officer's reaction, Jennifer's whole body shook, and she began to sob uncontrollably. "I've already ended up like this, and you still suspect me? Do you think I would gamble with my own face, with the rest of my life? You're being too cruel!"

With that, she collapsed onto the table, crying pitifully, looking as innocent as could be.

Christina wasn't buying it. She wanted to cry too, but it was as if her tears had dried up. Her eyes were sore and dry, and she couldn't squeeze out a single tear.

She desperately wanted to rush into the interrogation room and ask Jennifer what was going on, but before she could act, someone stopped her.

The captain invited her to the conference room.

"Let's not look for now, Ms. Windsor. You're very emotional right now. Please take a moment to rest."

"How can I rest? Every time I close my eyes, all I see is Harper." Christina said in agony. "Is my daughter really dead? How is the investigation going? This must be Jennifer's doing. Ask her where my daughter is."

She was crying uncontrollably.

Seeing this, those around her were moved to tears as well. The captain comforted her, saying, "We're investigating. Don't worry. Based on the photos, it seems they were taken at night, probably not long before they were sent. We've checked, and since Jennifer's disfigurement, she's been in the hospital receiving treatment and hasn't had the opportunity to contact Harper."

"Could she have an accomplice?" Christina grabbed his arm. "The person who kidnapped my child that day wasn't Jennifer. The height doesn't match. Did Jennifer hire someone?"

"We don't have evidence of that. We're investigating." The captain spread his hands.

"You're always investigating, but have you found any clues?" Christina was on the verge of breaking down, shouting hysterically.

The captain understood her emotions and comforted her before saying, "Don't worry. No matter what, we will find the real culprit."

The police kept repeating the same thing, and Christina was exhausted.

Every moment she lived in this world was painful.

She waved her hand and got up to leave. William was already gone, and Bob came to meet her.

"Ms. Windsor, let me take you home to rest. Mr. Cavendish has found some leads and is following up. Don't worry, he'll bring Harper back to you."

Christina looked up tearfully. "Do you believe his nonsense?"

Bob was taken aback, cleared his throat, and said solemnly, "Of course, I always believe Mr. Cavendish."

"Yeah, you've been with him for so long, you only believe him. But I warn you, this is the police station. Don't mess around. I'm not going with you." Christina glared at him and walked out quickly.

As she was about to hail a cab to go home, she suddenly received a call from Kaitlyn.

"Christina, is everything resolved?"

Christina forced a bitter smile, trying to steady her emotions. "Not yet."

"Is it serious? Do you need me to come to you?" Kaitlyn asked with concern.

Christina felt exhausted. "I'm fine."

Kaitlyn could tell she didn't want to talk much, so she smiled lightly. "Alright, if you need anything, let me know. Did I help you last time? Irvin helped me investigate."

Christina suppressed her emotions. "Yes, you did. Thank you. Please thank Irvin for me. Once this is over, I'll treat you both to dinner."

"That's good!" Kaitlyn sighed in relief.

After hanging up, Christina saw a cab approaching and waved it down.

As she got in and was about to close the door, Bob suddenly appeared and sat down next to her.

Christina looked at him incredulously. "What do you want?"

"Ms. Windsor, I can't let you go back to the hospital, but I can't leave you alone either. Let me stay with you. I can help if anything happens." Bob said sincerely.

Christina took a deep breath. "Do whatever you want."

The car started moving.

Christina looked out the window, her mood hitting rock bottom.

Just then, her phone rang again. She picked it up, thinking it might be the kidnappers with new demands, and answered immediately.

"Hello!"

To her surprise, it was Harper's voice.

"Mom, it's me. I'm so scared. I don't know where I am. It's very rundown here. I managed to escape and am hiding in a place full of junk."

Christina couldn't believe her ears. The moment she heard Harper's voice, tears streamed down her face.

"Harper, is it really you?"

Harper cried. "Mom, when are you coming to get me?"

Christina quickly said, "I'm coming right now. Don't cry. Mommy will be there soon."

Harper nodded. "There's a small store here. The old lady can't hear well, but she let me use the phone."

Harper was very scared.

She couldn't trust anyone.

"Harper, you're a brave girl. You have to do what I say. Hang up my call and dial 911. The police will find your location. Then call me back. Mommy will stay with you, okay?"

Although she wanted to find Harper herself, the police had more resources, possibly advanced tracking systems, and manpower. Letting the police know Harper's location wasn't a bad idea.
