Olivia Davis quickly grasped the core of the issue. Wasn't she perfectly aware of who Emma Johnson was? Her best friend couldn't even bear to kill an ant. Back when they went to the countryside for a taste of rural life, the farmer had prepared chicken soup for them. Because Emma couldn't stand the sound of the chicken being killed, she had hidden in another farmer's house. As a result, she couldn't bring herself to drink the soup after seeing a pool of blood on the ground. Let alone killing a person.
It was impossible.
"Well! As long as Liam Williams believes it, what else can I say? That's why I asked you to hire a top-notch lawyer for me. I'm not going to just wait for death. Liam Williams will never put me in prison."
Seeing the undisguised hatred burning in Emma Johnson's eyes, Olivia Davis couldn't help but applaud inwardly. Suddenly, a strange idea popped into her head, but after careful consideration, it made perfect sense.
She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Emma and finally spoke.
"Emma. Is it because of Elijah Clark that Liam chose to marry you?"
"What?"
Mia Lewis couldn't believe it. She stared at Olivia Davis, thinking her idea was far too bold. But after seeing Emma's affirmative nod, she knew it was true.
"I've been thinking about it before. I don't come from a prominent family, and I'm not a graduate of a world-renowned university. Why did Liam propose to marry me the first time he saw me? Even when I was hesitating back then, he never wavered. It's ridiculous to think about it now. I thought he chose me temporarily because he couldn't bear the pressure from his family, just like me. It turned out to be just a marriage where everyone wanted what they wanted, but I never imagined there was such a conspiracy behind it. The depth of Liam's scheming is truly beyond ordinary people's understanding."
Emma laughed sarcastically, but Mia Lewis felt deeply uncomfortable. Who doesn't want their friends to be happy? Seeing how concerned Liam was about Emma, she had thought he truly loved her.
But now she realized the fairy tale was fake. When all the truth came to light, it was such a cruel reality.
"Emma, I thought you married him because you liked Liam."
Olivia Davis looked at Emma and said.
"I have never liked him, and I will never like him. Marrying him was just to get what I needed."
Emma's voice suddenly turned cold, as if it had lost all warmth. Olivia Davis didn't know whether her seemingly calm appearance truly reflected what she said, but she knew that Emma's relationship with Liam was over.
But they didn't know. On the opposite side of the interrogation room, Liam Williams was watching them coldly through the surveillance glass. Especially when Emma said she didn't like him at all, his hands suddenly clenched. His cold eyes also darkened, making people shiver involuntarily.
Never liked him?
Liam chewed on Emma's words repeatedly in his heart, and the corners of his mouth twisted into a bitter curve.
"Liam, how can I feel that what Emma said doesn't seem fake? Is her lie too clever, or is there something else?"
Captain David Reed had witnessed the entire conversation between Emma and her two friends. From the expression on Emma's face, what she said didn't seem like a lie. But there were many doubts about her. So for a moment, he was confused.
Compared to him, the complexity in Liam's eyes was even harder to decipher.
"We'll start a thorough investigation tomorrow. If it turns out that Emma Johnson is innocent, let her go."
Liam couldn't tell what he was thinking at that moment. His heart seemed to be caught between ice and fire. It was a lot of suffering.
Because Emma had become a suspect, they could investigate her openly. That way, the truth of the matter could come to light quickly.
But deep down, Liam hoped that Emma had nothing to do with Elijah Clark.
"Emma, get a good rest tonight. Tomorrow I'll ask my cousin to call that lawyer. Whether he has a case or not, I'll ask him to come and help you first. You can rest assured."
Mia Lewis tried to steady her emotions. She knew that the most important thing now was to get Emma out of the police station. She didn't have so much time to be sad.
"Don't think about anything. Get a good sleep. We've got everything covered."
Olivia Davis looked at Emma, whose haggard face had changed overnight. She couldn't help but comfort her.
Emma smiled and nodded to them, and the two friends left reluctantly.
When they left the interrogation room, Mia Lewis and Olivia Davis saw Liam Williams in the corridor. Olivia Davis had a hot temper. She immediately stepped forward and angrily wanted to slap Liam. She didn't care if the person in front of her was the president of Pinnacle Corporation, or what a daunting identity he had. Even if he could cover the sky, in Olivia's eyes, he was still a bastard who had failed Emma. Even worse than the original Noah Taylor.
But in the end, her slap didn't land, because Alexander Wilson, who was beside Liam, quickly grabbed her hand. After all, Olivia Davis was just a woman. Her strength was no match for Alexander, who was a former special forces soldier. So she could only glare at Liam with anger, unable to vent her good sister's grievances.
"Emma is such a good woman, and you used her. She can't have anything to do with crime. How could you treat her so cruelly, Liam?"
Olivia Davis stared at Liam, looking at his cold face. She just felt that her good friend was truly pathetic.
"If she's innocent, I'll let her out."
In response to Olivia's outburst, there was only that short sentence. Olivia still wanted to speak up for Emma's injustice, but in the end, she was dragged away by Mia Lewis.
"Why are you dragging me? I want to teach that cold-blooded man a lesson. How could he do that to his wife?"
Olivia Davis was pulled out of the police station by Mia Lewis, shouting.
"Calm down, no matter how much you say, can Emma be released? The most important thing for us now is to find a way to clear Emma's suspicion. It's not too late to pursue these matters later. You have to distinguish between primary and secondary."
Mia Lewis looked at Olivia Davis and persuaded her.
Olivia Davis calmed down, but still resented Liam.
"I understand. Anyway, a man like Liam will have no good outcome."
"Well, he won't be very good in the future."
Mia Lewis agreed with Olivia Davis and was already thinking about how to help Emma clear her doubts. At the thought that Elijah Clark was actually a member of a criminal group, she still felt very sad inside. She didn't know if Elijah knew that Emma was suffering because of him at the moment, and whether he would feel deep regret for implicating her.
After all, he loved Emma so much. He was very distressed when Emma was injured.
Mia Lewis sighed heavily. Looking at the snowflakes falling in front of her, she felt cold all over.
