My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 315

Chapter 315: Her Dead End!
“Miss Laura Kiels, let me ask you one more time. Now, be frank with us, Miss Laura Kiels. Is your answer still the same as your last answer?” the investigator asked.

Laura’s hands were clenched tightly in her lap. She’s trying very hard to maintain her composure before answering. “I never asked my manager, Robert, to do that.”

The investigator slightly nodded, looking at her, but kept his calm and poker eyes. Before he could ask another question, Laura suddenly spoke again.

“Officer, Sir, I’m sorry, but did you ask me to come here only to repeat the same questions? It makes me want to vomit. It’s nauseated me, sir.” Laura Kiels asked.

She took a deep breath before continuing. “And, I think I’ve already answered them all. Right, sir?” her voice sounded gentle. Still, her eyes betrayed her annoyance with this second round of questions.

“Miss Laura Kiels, don’t worry; we won’t ask you the same questions today,” another investigator said calmly and politely while ignoring Laura’s complaint. He smiled at Laura before he continued, “My colleague here just wanted to double-check your previous statement. You know, to remove any unnecessary doubt.”

Laura turned to see the man next to the young investigator who had questioned her earlier. His mature and calmer demeanor indicated that he was the boss.

“Sir, you said something new?”

“Yes, Miss Laura.”

“Well, you can ask me. I will answer right away. There is no need to prolong this. I’m a busy person—” Laura said, unable to hold her annoyance with their slow procedure.

The senior investigator didn’t bother answering Laura but shifted his gaze to his colleague beside him and gave a slight nod.

“You can do it now,” he said before turning his gaze again at Laura.

“Yes, sir!” the younger investigator answered. He immediately opened his laptop.

After typing something on the keyboard, he turned to Laura Kiels and her lawyer before saying, “Miss Laura, earlier, you denied any involvement in all the questions we asked you, right?”

Laura only nodded, feeling too lazy to answer him.

“Miss Laura, we have a recording of your voice. The recording has been verified by the expert and computer, and they found it matches 100 percent with your actual voice. And the recording is related to our case. Now, how do you explain this voice recording?” The young investigator asked.

Instantly, the lawyer sitting calmly beside Laura flinched, his expression slowly changing as he asked, “What voice recording?” Worry flashed through his gaze as he looked sharply at the investigator before him.

But the investigators ignored him. One pressed the play button, and the voices of a woman and a man came from the laptop speakers, enough to startle Laura and her lawyer.

“Listen, Robert, I want you to pay a buzzer out there and teach Stellar Entertainment a lesson! How dare they do this to me?”

“Laura, are you sure? This is very dangerous, you know.”

“Yes, I know! That’s why you should find the best one and make sure no one can trace you back.”

“This—”

“What are you afraid of? Just do it, alright? Make sure you make that stupid company suffer. I don’t want to fall alone to hell; they must come with me, too!”

“But, Laura, please reconsider—”

“What the hell, Robert! Can you do what I ask? Stop questioning me. I’m the one paying your salary, not the other way around.”

“Alright.”

The audio recording stopped.

Laura Kiels’ face instantly turned pale, as if all the blood had drained from her skin.

Her hand, hidden under the table, shook as she heard her own voice with Robert talking about something that could throw her into jail.

‘That bastard, Robert! How dare he record our conversation!? How dare he betray me!? Damn it!!’ Laura Kiels was speechless. She could only curse Robert inwardly.

“Miss Laura Kiels…” The young investigator’s voice snapped Laura out of her thoughts. She looked at him, trying to maintain her calmness but failed, her anger radiance from her gaze.

“How do you explain this recording, Miss Laura Kiels? And don’t tell me this is a fake recording. The recording has been verified,” the young investigator asked while cornering Laura at the same time.

Laura opened her mouth, but her lawyer spoke before she could say anything.

“Miss Laura, you don’t have to answer that,” the lawyer said calmly, then turned to the investigator. “Sir, I need time to discuss this with my client right now. May I talk to my client alone and in private now?” This was the only way he could protect his client.

However,

The investigator looked at the lawyer with a deadpan expression. Then he turned to Laura and smiled at her.

“Why do you want us to leave you in such a hurry? Well, I still have many questions for your client,” The young investigator said unhurriedly, trying to annoy the lawyer.

The lawyer couldn’t say anything more. He guessed that the police already had substantial evidence to detain his client, so he had no choice but to agree to the continuation of the interrogation.

“Miss Laura, did you kill Robert because you wanted to hide this audio evidence?” the young investigator asked calmly. However, his question almost choked Laura Kiels and her lawyer.

“Miss Laura, you have the right to remain silent,” the lawyer insisted, ensuring his client didn’t make any unnecessary comments before they discussed the case. He had to think of a way to ensure his client would not be severely punished if she was proven guilty.

The two investigators completely ignored the lawyer, who was now panicking beside Laura. Meanwhile, Laura looked increasingly pale.

“Alright, if you don’t say anything, let’s hear this one…” the investigator said before playing another recording.

The male voice clearly belonged to Robert:

“Hi, I’m Robert! If you hear this voice recording, it means I am no longer on this earth, breathing and alive. Someone has killed me. And you must know who the person is. She is the only one who wants to eliminate me because I keep many of her secrets. She is my boss, Laura Kiels.”

Instantly, Laura’s vision darkened; all her muscles seemed to betray her, and she could no longer support her body even to sit.

She fainted!
