“Bring Billy to the police station? He was initially being threatened, but in the end, he willingly helped her to escape. So, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to get anything out of him. I heard that he is a pretty stubborn man, and no one could make him speak if he didn’t want to, even if he was being tortured.” Derek didn’t get why Ethan wanted him to do so.

“It doesn’t matter whether he confesses or not.” Ethan removed his mask after Leah left the room. By then, he was back to his usual calm self, and his jawline was well-defined.

“Got it. I’ll have it arranged,” Derek immediately replied. After half an hour, Billy was brought to the police station. He was so mad that he wanted to swear. F*ck, who the hell did Alice offend? It was two in the morning, and all the exits of the hotel he was at were shut, and he was seized soon after he left the hotel. And now he was brought to the police station? These people were ruthless psychopaths. However, since he was brought to the police station, it meant that Alice wasn’t caught. Thus, he shouldn’t give himself away.

“Mr. Yeager, we’ve asked you to be here today to ask about some questions, and we seek your cooperation on this.” Officer Luke, who was in charge of the questioning, spoke politely.

“Sure. I’ll definitely reveal everything I know to you and cooperate as best as I can.” Billy smiled while looking calm. Without waiting for the police officer to speak, he pulled the chair out and took a seat, as if he was a guest there.

“Mr. Yeager, do you know the woman who left the hotel with you 30 minutes ago?”

“I don’t know her,” Billy didn’t hesitate as he replied. At the same time, Ethan, who was observing the interrogation via the monitor, narrowed his gaze after hearing Billy’s statement.

“I knew that Billy wouldn’t have spoken the truth.” Derek scoffed and continued, “If he didn’t know who she was, he wouldn’t have put his life on the line just to help her.”

“Mr. Yeager, but you helped her escape from the hotel,” Officer Luke asked.

“Escape?!” Billy laughed and asked, “Why? Did she kill anyone? If she did, shouldn’t your side issue an order to have her arrested? Then I guess I’m considered an accomplice.”

“It’s not that serious.” Officer Luke couldn’t help but let out a sigh when he realized that it was a tough job, as expected.
