Chapter 2509
"Hmm?" Lulu looked at Nicole, taking some time to snap out of her daze. "Someone I don’t know called me."
' What did that person say?" Nicole asked.
She knew it was a call, but she could not figure out what was wrong with it.
After seeming to have recollected herself, Lulu's face turned pale as she clenched her teeth and said, "He said I
injured his sister and ran away. He even claimed he has reported it to the police!"
She had no idea who he was, who his sister was, and when she could have possibly hit someone. After all, she was
not even driving.
With a frown, Lulu continued in a trembling voice, "Could that person be mentally unstable?"
'But how could a mentally unstable person know my phone number and name?' Lulu wondered to herself.
It was then that three knocks were heard on the door, and in response, Nicole lifted her gaze and said, "Come in."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, the secretary entered and said, "Miss Riddle. There are people claiming to be the police outside. They wish to
speak with Miss Barrera about a reported incident."
Nicole and Lulu exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of confusion and worry.
That person on the phone was not just threatening Lulu; they had really gotten the police involved. Lulu just could
not figure out who that person might be.
"Let them in," Nicole instructed the secretary.
"Of course," the secretary replied before ushering the two police officers into the room.
Once inside, the officers asked, "Are you Lulu Barrera?"
"Yes, I am," Lulu responded.
"Somebody reported that you intentionally assaulted them, and now the victim is in critical condition. We need your
cooperation for the investigation." One of the officers clarified, asking for Lulu's cooperation.
In an attempt to defend herself, Lulu explained, "Could there be a mistake? I don't even know how to drive, so how
could I have hit someone? Besides, I don't even know the person who reported this to you. I didn't assault his sister,
whoever he is."
Then, the officer glanced at Lulu and asked, "Weren’t you at a concert yesterday?"
"Yeah?" Lulu blinked in confusion. 'What does being at a concert have anything to do with this?'
"The person who fell over beside you has regained consciousness. However, she claimed that you were the one
who hit her and caused her to collapse. We need you to come to the police station with us now," the officer
continued while looking at Lulu.
"No, I didn't!" Lulu's face became as white as a sheet. "She fell on her own, and I had no idea what was happening
at the time."
"We'll talk about this in detail when we're in the police station," the officer said, about to take Lulu away when she
resisted again.
"Hey, listen to me. I really have no idea what was going on. I didn't..." Lulu tried her best to explain herself, but the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmofficers just ignored her.
At that point, she was so afraid that she was on the verge of tears.
"Wait a minute," Nicole's voice suddenly blared out.
Lulu looked at Nicole with mixed emotions. She knew that it was too late to say anything now. All she could do now
was find a way to prove her innocence, though she did not know how. She did not even know what had happened.
Lulu bit her lip and forced herself to calm down. Then, she turned to Nicole and said, "Nicole, I must follow them
back to the police station. My work..."
"We can cooperate for your investigation, but she’s not leaving with you," Nicole interrupted, looking at the officers
calmly. "As for the issue concerning the injured party, please inform them to keep all invoices of the medical
expenses incurred from the injury. If they are indeed a result of Lulu’s actions, we are willing to compensate them
for it."
"How can we conduct the investigation if she doesn't come with us?" the officer warned in a stern voice. "Please do
not obstruct our work."
