“Revealing my identity isn’t difficult, Emma thought. But after exposure, Liam will be suspicious, and it will bring a lot of trouble. But if I don’t save myself, with charges of cybercrime and selling student datat estimate that the minimum sentence for imprisonment is at least
three years.
Just as Emma was in a dilemma, someone knocked on the door of the interrogation room.
“Mr. Hayden, we’ve found new information regarding the student data case,” a police officer said.
Emma lihed her eyebrows.
The interrogator was also puzzled. “New information?” he said,
“Yeah,” the police officer said, “it’s them!”
As he spoke, he brought in two people.
Emma lifted her head and looked out of the door.
Kate gritted her teeth as she was brought in. She was followed closely by Vere, who had <b>a </b>calm expression.
“Vere?” Emma said, feeling somewhat surprised.
Vere’s usually arrogant and fierce face actually had a trace of guilt when facing Emma.
Emma immediately understood, thinking, ‘This time, it’s rted to Vere.
Vere sat down and looked at Emma, saying, “Emma, I’m sorry. You once did me a <b>favor</b><b>, </b><b>but </b>I framed you for the sake of my own benefit. Now, I’m ready toe clean about everything”
“You,” Kate said as she gritted her teeth.
She warned Vere with her gaze, but he acted as if he did not see it.
The police officer stared at Kate and said, “Everyone is equal before thew. Miss Johnson, don’t even think about using force and oppression. It won’t work! Vere, tell us everything you know. We will handle it fairly and justly ording to the circumstances.”
Vere recounted the whole story truthfully, detailing the events from the beginning to the end, including how he had hacked into the student database back then, the <b>process </b>of Kate threatening him, and how he <b>had </b>“framed<b>” </b>Emma by attributing all those activity traces to her
Throughout the period when Vere recounted the story, Emma crossed her arms and long legs, listening quietly with a remarkably calm expression.
Kate was worked up. She said, “Vere, you’re falsely using me! H–how could I possibly threaten you? Sir, they both work together to frame me. Look, here’s the evidence that they are both hackers. They are both hackers and ssmates, while I’m just <b>a </b><b>good </b>citizen. Besides, I’m not short of money, so why would I sell these things? <b>They’re </b>working together to hurl mud at me!”
As Kate spoke, she took out the documents.
Emma was truly somewhat surprised. She thought, I didn’t expect <b>that </b>a loophole from my browsing the inte in the countryside many years ago would be uncovered by Kate. Fortunately, I didn’t do anything out of <b>line </b>back then. I just logged into the ck market and browsed around <b>a </b>bit, not leaving any vidence of transactions<b>. </b>Otherwise, today’s situation would have been really troublesome. It seems that I have to get Josiah to thoroughly screen everything <b>again </b>next time and wipe <b>out </b>all this information!

The police took the documents and frowned.
They thought, “No matter what, ordinary people who have nothing better to do w
explicitly prohibited.”
Emma and Vere were both incredibly intelligent individuals.
The police were very wary of them.
At the same time, they maintained suspicion about their innocence.
Just then, Vere took out his phone and yed a recording.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you don’t frame Emma today, you’ll be the one in jail tomorrow. Besides, Emma isa hacker to begin with. You’re just ying a supporting role in helping to put her into jail]
The recording of what Kate said was yed<b>. </b>She widened her eyes.
She <b>said</b><b>, </b>“This… you…”
“It never urred to me that Vere would prepare to record from the beginning she thought. ‘He <b>never </b>intended to betray Emma right from the start. Instead, he yed dumb to fool me, pretended to do as I said, made me lower my guard, and then turned the tables on me!”
Kate’s face turned pale.
The recording was very clear. After that, Vere’s voice could be heard.
[But she has never done anything to harm others! You were the one who sold the data. You should be the one going <b>to </b>jail!]
Next, it was Kate’s voice. [Of course, I’ve dealt with everything I’ve done. The police will go to your school tomorrow. When the timees,
either you or she will face serious consequences.]
Kate waspletely flustered.
She said, “It’s not like that… It’s not like that… Sir, let me exin. You guys…”
She fought tooth and nail in trying to send Emma to jail.
She knew better than anyone the heavy price she would pay after Vere <b>turned </b>against her..
“Vere<b>, </b>how dare you trick me!” she said. “I’ll kill you… Ah!”
Kate lost her rationality. She picked up a fountain pen on the table and was about to stab Vere in the church.
The police officers‘ expressions changed drastically.
But it was already toote by the time they fully registered what Kate would <b>do</b>.
All they saw was that the tip of Kate’s <b>pen </b>was just one–tenth of an inch from Vere’s church.
Just then, Emma, who had been sitting quietly beside Vere, acted in a somewhat spooky manner.
She grasped the tip of the pen in Kate’s hand.
Her movement was swift and ruthless. She twisted forcefully and <b>stopped </b>Kate from piercing Vere’s <b>head</b>.
<b>Chapter </b><b>61</b>
Kate, caught off guard, had her wrist twisted along with the pen.
shivers
A sharp “crack” that sent shivers down one’s spine could be heard.
Kate’s wrist bone <b>was </b>broken.
There was a shrill scream in the interrogation room. Kate’s tears flowed profusely. Her wrist was in so much pain that it was almost numb.
She was quickly pulled <b>away </b>by the police. The scene just now was truly frightening but ultimately without danger. Although the police were shocked by Emma’s unexpectedly swift actions, it seemed like there was nothing to find fault with.
After all, it was Kate who attempted murder first.
“Miss Wilson, it’s all thanks to your timely reaction just now,” a police officer said.
They were all top–notch police officers who were skilled and capable. It was just that Kate’s attempt to stab happened suddenly, and all the police officers were rtively far from Vere, so they could not stop Kate in time.
If it weren’t for Emma, Vere would have been killed at the police station, and this would have been an irreversible ident for the entire police station.
Emma said indifferently, “It’s nothing. It’s just that this Kate has a habitual tendency to harm others. She also has <b>a </b>vengeful personality. I hope you can deal with her properly.”Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
The police officer said, “Miss Wilson, rest assured that we’ll report it immediately once we find her transaction records. As for Vere, you…”
Vere lowered his head and said, “I was the one who stole the data in the first <b>ce</b>. I’m willing to ept any punishment.”
Since he came here today, he was prepared to go to <b>jail</b>
The police officer noticed that he had a cooperative attitude. He said, “We’re also doing things in ordance with thew. You can go back for now. We’ll continue to investigate this matter thoroughly, and we will inform you further once we have any updates.”
Vere <b>nodded</b>.
The interrogation came <b>to </b><b>an </b>end.
Emma was<b>,</b>
of course, released without charges.
Vere waited for the oue, while Kate was taken away immediately.
When they left the police station, it was <b>already </b>evening<b>.</b>
It was drizzling.
Emma walked leisurely under the drizzle as if nothing had happened.
Looking at her back, Vere hurriedly put up the umbre and called out to her, “Emmal”
Emma stopped in her tracks but did not turn around.
Vere had intense emotional anguish at this moment. He walked forward while holding the umbre. “Where do you live?” he said. “It’s raining. Shall I send you back?”
Although he chose to help her in the end, it did not mean that he did not hesitate during this period.

<b>Sure </b>enough, the girl under the umbre turned around.
Emma, with her hands in her pockets, said calmly, “Vere, I <b>have </b>a question for you.”
“Ask <b>away</b>,” Vere said.
“What made you change your mind and turn yourself in to the police?” Emma asked.
