Chapter 1063
The lawyer nodded at Zada. “You can count on me. I promise I’ll do everything to make sure you win this case!”
The three guys sat frozen in their chairs, faces pale with fear. “Please… Just let us go. We really don’t wanna go to jail.”
Zada’s eyes narrowed. “Let you go? In your dreams!”
The men panicked. “Honestly… We were acting on someone else’s orders that night!”
Zada froze. “What did you just say?”
“We’ll come clean! Someone paid us to follow you that night,” another admitted.
Zada couldn’t believe it. “Are you kidding me? Someone paid you to do this? Who?”
She was an ordinary college student with a nice personality. Who would be cruel enough to hire these guys to humiliate her? Only a monster would do that.
“We’ll tell you everything, but can you at least write a statement so we don’t go to jail? We were short on cash, and when someone offered money, we just lost our heads,” one explained.
“We didn’t actually hurt you, right?” the other added nervously.
Zada fixed them with a sharp stare. “Cut the crap! Tell me who it was!”
The three glanced at each other, then one said, “Fine… It was someone named Sierra.”
Zada jumped to her feet. “What? You said who?”
“Sierra! Her name is Sierra! She’s the one who paid us!”
“She’s really pretty, good figure, about the same age as you,” another added.
Sierra? The name hit Zada like a thunderclap.
Sierra had hired these guys to assault her? But… That night, Sierra had saved her!
“Are you lying? Sierra is my friend. She saved me! You’re just trying to frame her to get away!” Zada snapped.
The men shook their heads frantically. “We’re telling the truth! Officer, you can check our bank accounts. Sierra transferred ten grand to us!”
The police said, “We’ll verify that right away.” And they stepped outside.
Zada went pale. She had trusted Sierra–how could she do something so awful?
Suddenly, Sierra seemed terrifying. What was really going on?
Her lawyer put a hand on her shoulder. “We’re at the station now. Don’t worry. The truth will come out. No one slips away when the law’s involved.”
Zada nodded numbly. There was nothing else she could do.
Soon, the officers returned. “We checked the three men’s bank records.”
Zada held her breath. “And?”
“It’s true,” the officer said. “On June 16, a transfer from someone named Sierra for 10,000 went into their
accounts.”
The three men gulped. “See? We weren’t lying! Please let us go. We really don’t wanna go to jail!”
Zada sank into a chair.
It was actually Sierra! Sierra was the mastermind. These men were just her pawns.
But why? Why would she do this?
Her mind raced back to what Halsey had said before.
Halsey had been suspicious of Sierra. Could Halsey know something?
Zada clenched her fists. She had to find answers. She needed to talk to Halsey now.
She turned to her lawyer. “I’m leaving this to you here. I have too many questions. I need to get some answers myself.”
