I Only Want You novel Chapter 229

In the interrogation room, there was only one dim chandelier. There was no air conditioner or electric fan. The window was very small, and the occasional night wind could not withstand the heat in the room.

Elizabeth had been sitting here for three hours. She was so hungry and hot, but she couldn't leave.

But compared to that, what made her panic the most was the unprecedented helplessness.

Mac and Nash, who were responsible for the interrogation of Kuture's case, was sitting behind the small black table. The younger one was Mac, who was thin. Nash looked in his early forties, who was a little fat.

"Elizabeth, you'd better be honest and save time for all of us. Don't you think so?" Mac looked at her and said.

Elizabeth pursed her lips and stared at her knees. After a while, she replied weakly, "I'm just telling the truth. I don't have anything else to say."

Since she came here till now, they had asked everything they could ask and she had answered everything she should answer.

But they did not believe her. As customary, they began by asking her for basic information. Afterwards, they asked her about the motive and her alibi for the case. After finding no clues, they also chatted casually with her for an hour. She had watched similar investigation programs before, so she knew that they wanted to distract her attention. They hoped that they could find the answer they wanted when she relaxed her vigilance.

Now, it seemed that Mac had run out of patience.

"There's nothing to say? How can you explain that Neo Garment used your design and said those words at the curtain call?"

Elizabeth was so hot that she was sweating. She slowly shook her head and said, "I can't explain it." Until now, she still didn't know why things would be like this. "I've said it many times. I was framed."

"You call this a frame-up? But all the evidence is against you. So we have to ask clearly."

She clenched her fists and raised her head, "I don't understand. I've answered all the questions. Why don't you go and find out who set me up, but give me a hard time here?"

"Give you a hard time?" Mac seemed to be angry. He slammed the table and stood up, "Don't forget where you are now! We're following the law!"

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth could not help but smile. How dare they say they are following the law? The room is so dark and hot, and they even didn't give her a cup of water!

"Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist! You should know this, right?"

Elizabeth was so thirsty and she felt so hot that she was about to collapse. She pinched her palm with her fingers so that she could keep awake at any time. "I'm telling the truth. What I just said is all the truth."

"Well! You still keep your mouth shut!" After Mac finished speaking, he walked directly to her and said, "Tell the truth now. Otherwise..."

"..." Elizabeth was actually so afraid. But now, she could do nothing but keep calm.

"I'm asking you to speak!" Mac roared.

Elizabeth looked at Nash on the opposite side and said, "Can I... make a phone call?" Her cell phone had been collected as soon as she came in.

"You finally remember to make a phone call until now?" Mac snorted and rose a foot as if to kick her.

Elizabeth was shocked when she saw that. She raised her legs to the side and dodged quickly. She moved very fast and hard. But she seemed to be overexerting herself, causing her to fall to the floor in a heap. And the heavy chair she'd been sitting in for hours was pulled by her and fell down towards her.

"Ouch..."

The corner of the chair hit her on the arm. She couldn't help but let out a muffled moan at the pain.

When Mac saw this, he didn't reach out to help her. Instead, he turned to Nash and said, "I know these people too well! We should just lock her up for a few days! A tough nut!"

The iron gate was slammed shut.

Being pushed, Elizabeth stumbled a few steps before she could stand firm. Then she turned around and ran to knock on the door.

Elizabeth looked at her and couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart. She probably looked like that now as well. Her hair, which had been combed into a ponytail, was now loose in a mess. Her clothes were fine except for some wrinkles.

Elizabeth was very hungry, but she didn't know when she could go out. At this time, she really hoped that James could come here and take her away. But she knew that he was still busy with his business in B City, and she had never mentioned this thing to him. So it was impossible for him to come.

Elizabeth held her knees tightly and thought silently that she must hold on until he came to pick her up.

"Why did they arrest you?" The woman asked again.

Elizabeth shook her head gently after hearing that.

Seeing that Elizabeth didn't answer, the woman didn't mind and said again, "Do you want to know how I came in?"

"I hit someone. It was my husband's mistress. It was obviously their fault, but it was me who was arrested. You don't know that my husband had been protecting the mistress from beginning to end and even called the police. My husband was very rich. So after I came in, they didn't ask me anything and directly locked me up here... I would never trust men anymore."

"..." Elizabeth listened and stared at her for a while. Her lips moved slightly, and she wanted to comfort her. But she found that she couldn't find any words to comfort her without breaking her heart.

But just because of that woman's words, she became more and more flustered. James could help her deal with the mess in the past. But this time, she was already in the police station. Would he give her up?

Even if he would help her again, when would he come here?

Elizabeth sat on the ground, resting her head on her knees. She felt so perturbed and uneasy.

But even so, she was still sleepy. She was really thirsty and hungry.

She didn't know how long she had been waiting. In a daze, she heard someone shouting, "Elizabeth, you can come out and leave!"
