Chapter 455
The male detective scribbled some notes before looking up. “Dr. Sloan, our records show you’re currently going through divorce proceedings, and your relationship with the Sterlings is tense.
Furthermore, you did have an ongoing medical dispute with Daisy’s mother, Qin p>
“A medical dispute? Are you sure about that?” Sienna arched an eyebrow. “Qin died in a car accident caused by a drunk driver who has already been sentenced.
You should be able to pull the Formal Non-Prosecution Notice from the DA’s office.
I had zero conflict with Qin. If you want the source of all this drama, it’s just Daisy stirring up trouble.
But I still suspect she’s just a pawn. As for who’s holding the leash, I’ve already told the police multiple times p>
The two detectives glanced at each other again.
They were already aware of her suspicions regarding Celeste, but there was zero hard evidence.
Besides, officially, Celeste was dead.
Catching the silent exchange between them, Sienna let out a cold laugh. “I know it sounds insane, but the current Cora Vaughan is actually Celeste Carlyle.
If you want to close all these cases, you need to dig into that woman p>
The male detective nodded. “Ms. Sloan, I’ll make sure that goes on the record.
As for whether it ties into this specific case or warrants further investigation, our team will handle it p>
The female detective flipped a page in her file. “We just received an anonymous tip containing two new witness statements p>
“Fake.” Sienna cut her off, her tone perfectly steady. “The last time Albert had a visitor, his wife Qin and relatives were present.
Since then, no one else has seen him, and his condition never improved enough to allow him to speak loudly and clearly.
I strongly advise you to check for fingerprints. Are the signatures on those statements handwritten originals?
Or are they printed copies with signatures slapped on? Are the fingerprints superimposed? Have you run a handwriting analysis p>
The detectives fell completely silent for a few seconds.
Sienna knew she had nailed it.
She didn’t say another word. She casually picked up the cold cup of water, took a sip, and leaned back, waiting.
The fluorescent light buzzed loudly in the cramped room, like a moth trapped in a jar.
About twenty minutes later, the door creaked open. A senior detective walked in and whispered something to his two colleagues.
The female detective looked up, the tension leaving her shoulders. “Dr. Sloan, we’ve verified the situation.
Albert is indeed in his hospital room, mentally stable, with zero signs of being held against his will.
We are currently tracing the origin of the audio file. You’re free to go p>
Sienna stood up, elegantly brushing an invisible speck of dust from her skirt. “Thank you. Oh, and do me a favor Pass a message along to your anonymous informant p>
Pausing at the door, she glanced back with a faint smile. “Next time. they forge evidence, tell them to hire, a better voice actor p>
The two detectives watched her leave, sharing a baffled look. Every piece of supposed evidence had pointed straight at her-how was she still this confident?
As Sienna walked out the front doors of the precinct, the chilling night wind hit her face.
A black SUV idled by the curb.
The headlights flashed, the doors popped open, and Thea Stanton and Luna Lennox rushed over.
Thea noticed the deep crease between Sienna’s brows. “You look terrible p>
“I just got grilled by two detectives for almost an hour,” Sienna muttered, forcing a stiff smile. “Of course I look terrible p>
Luna chimed in, “I poked around. Word is someone dumped fresh evidence on them p>
