Chapter 1258
Lina frowned and looked at Zuko. He was looking at her too, and they locked eyes, seemingly
understanding what the other was thinking.
At that moment, the police arrived.
“Are you Ms. Pam Thompson?” a police officer asked.
Lina was stunned. “I am…”
The police officer said, “After our preliminary investigation, we suspect someone spiked the beverages
at the banquet.”
“Who did it? Did you find out?” Lina asked.
The officer looked at her with aplicated expression. “Ms. Thompson, we received an anonymous
tip during our investigation that you prepared the beverages for the banquet.”
“What? Don’t tell me you suspect me?” Lina was stunned, her mind nk.
“We can’t rule anyone out who is connected to the case until we have solid evidence,” the officer said
respectfully, but his eyes were cold. “Ms. Thompson, pleasee with us to assist with the
investigation.”

Zuko waited at the police station. He couldn’t go in, so he had no idea what was happening. Even
though he looked calm, each second was terribly torturous to him.
Jacob had been waiting there with his legal team. Seeing him like that, he walked over and patted his
shoulder. “They can only release her if they don’t have sufficient evidence. Don’t worry, she’s fine. The
police won’t make things difficult for her.”
Zuko trusted that. With the Thompsons and Hamertons’ power and the usations being baseless, the
police wouldn’t dare make things difficult for her.
Still, Zuko would be worried as long as he didn’t see Lina.
Jacob checked the time. It had been exactly an hour.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

At that moment, a police officer called him over.
Afterpleting the necessary procedures, Lina emerged from behind a door.
She looked okay, but her expression was downcast. Every step she took seemed precarious, like
walking on a knife’s edge, extremely difficult.
“Lina!” Zuko rushed over, ignoring everything else. He hugged her.
Lina felt the familiar warmth from his body, and theforting embrace almost made her cry. At that
moment, tears uncontrobly streamed down her face.
“It’s okay.” Zuko patted her back. “Everything wille to light.”
She nodded. She believed in justice. No matter how convincing the anonymous tip was, she hadn’t
done it. Thew would prove her innocence.

The case involved many celebrities, and although the Thompson Group’s PR team had tried their best
to minimize the impact, rumors were rampant outside.
Some overzealous fans criticized the Thompson Group on Facebook. Even some fans with wild
imaginationstched onto the fact that Abigail was unaffected, creating a conspiracy theory that Abigail
and the Thompson Group were involved. It went viral.
In the days following, Lina dared not look at her phone,puter, television, or even answer calls. She
practically locked herself in her room, repeatedly sorting out the doubts surrounding the incident from
beginning to end.
However, the people out there were worried that she might be affected mentally.
Nichs and Linda would take turns waiting outside her room. Nichs even thought of selling the
Thompson Group right away, just because “This shittypany gave my darling daughter so many
troubles, so I don’t want it anymore!”
“Don’t be impulsive, Uncle Nichs!” a deep voice came.
Linda quickly grabbed Zuko’s hands as if she had seen her life savior. “I’m so happy that you’re here,
Zuko! Go talk to Pammy. She only listens to you…”
Nichs cleared his throat to show his unwillingness. The only thing that remained the same on his old
face was his stubbornness since he was young.
Linda rolled her eyes. “Can you grow up? Our son-inw is here. You’re no longer needed! Go now!”
Nichs pouted but could only allow his wife to drag him away. He narrowed his eyes and red at
Zuko before leaving. “If you manage to convince her… I’ll consider letting your dad win at our next
fishing trip!”
