Chapter 600: Selene is Captured
Selene no longer recognized Liam Michaelson. When she saw the police, she thought Harvey had gotten into trouble and whispered to him, “Is the company in trouble?”
Harvey felt a pang of sadness seeing Selene’s clueless expression, even more so because he couldn’t protect her. He said, “It’s you who’s in trouble.”
“Me?” Selene looked puzzled.
Liam Michaelson, exuding righteousness, took out an arrest warrant. “Selene, you are suspected of murdering Ethan Channing. You need to come with us.”
“Murder?” Selene was even more confused. “When did I kill anyone? Who is Ethan Channing?”
“Selene, don’t try to argue. You have the right to remain silent,” Liam Michaelson said as he handcuffed her. “Take her away.”
Selene looked at Harvey. “What’s going on?”
“I’m not sure either,” Harvey replied, equally bewildered. He quickly addressed Liam Michaelson, “I’ll go with you. There must be some misunderstanding.”
At the police station, Selene was taken into the interrogation room. Before Liam Michaelson could start questioning her, Harvey intercepted him to explain Selene’s situation.
“Officer Michaelson, you won’t get anything out of her,” Harvey said. “When I found her, she had lost all her memories. She’s not faking it; I vouch for it with my integrity.”
“Lost her memory?” Liam Michaelson was surprised and frowned. This news was like a cold shower, dampening his excitement about capturing a Celestial Alliance assassin.
Harvey continued, “Officer Michaelson, you saw it yourself-Selene didn’t recognize you. If she were guilty, why would she walk right into your hands? I believe she didn’t kill Ethan Channing. Please investigate further.”
“We have evidence proving Selene is an assassin for the Celestial Alliance. Whether or not she killed Ethan Channing, she has many lives on her hands,” Liam Michaelson replied. “Sir, please don’t obstruct our investigation.”
As he spoke, Liam Michaelson headed toward the interrogation room but was stopped by Ma Liang bringing in a man in a hurry.
Liam Michaelson recognized him and greeted him with respect. “Captain Wilkinson, what brings you here?”
The man was John Wilkinson, captain of the anti-terrorism unit. His features were sharp and stern, exuding a strong presence.
John Wilkinson was the eldest son of the Wilkinson family and Elsa’s brother. The youngest of four siblings, Elsa was John’s sister whom he lost during childhood-a loss that led him away from business and into law enforcement.
John Wilkinson had been tracking the Celestial Alliance to find his missing sister.
“There’s an assassin from the Celestial Alliance you’ve captured. Where is she? Take me to her,” John Wilkinson demanded.
“Captain Wilkinson, she’s in the interrogation room and hasn’t been questioned yet,” Liam Michaelson responded.
John Wilkinson strode toward the interrogation room with long strides.
Harvey also emerged from his office and followed them to the interrogation room. Seeing John Wilkinson and Liam Michaelson together made him worry that Selene’s situation was dire.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Inside the interrogation room, Selene sat calmly on a chair. She wasn’t panicking but looked bewildered as she tried to understand what had happened. She wondered if she really had committed murder.
As she pondered this, the door to the interrogation room opened from outside. Selene looked up and saw John Wilkinson leading the group.
John Wilkinson’s first impression on Selene was one of severity and coldness, yet strangely familiar kindness.
He scrutinized Selene before approaching her and looking down at her from above.
Selene met his gaze without fear, studying him in return with an innocent and pure expression due to her amnesia.
Her pure gaze caused a flicker in John Wilkinson’s heart, unearthing a long-buried memory of his sister looking at him similarly when she made mistakes-he always covered for her.
Selene spoke up, “You say I killed someone? Is that true?”
John Wilkinson snapped back to reality and faced her question with a sterner expression. “Your name is Selene? The Celestial Alliance ranks its assassins as S, A, B, and C levels. You’re an S-level assassin-the highest rank. How many members are there in the Celestial Alliance? Where is their headquarters? Do you know someone named Sarah Wilkinson?”
Sarah Wilkinson was John Wilkinson’s missing sister.
