Chapter 367


    Brielle began, her voice steady despite the chaos. “A whole bunch of folks saw the message Sarah left


    in the group chat. Plus, I called the cops the minute I saw itst night, asking them to keep a close eye


    on Sarah’s whereabouts. And let me tell you, the surveince around my neighborhood is top–notch


    monitors my every move 24/7. I didn’t step foot outside myplexst night, so I’ve got a solid alibi.


    To say I’m the killer is jumping the gun, don’t you think?”


    Brielle’sposure was unexpected, given the circumstances.


    Simon, not the sharpest tool in the shed, only knew how to make a scene. Sweat broke out on his


    forehead, betraying his panic. This was not going ording to n. He shot his wife a look, and they


    were both wailing again in an instant.


    “Oh Lord, what sins have wemitted to cross paths with such a person? Sarah, Mom and Dad miss


    you so much.”


    “Brielle, it’s all your fault. An eye for an eye – I’ll fight you to the end!”


    The woman lunged forward again, but the security team from Dorsey International was already on the


    scene, and the police had arrived with them. The officers were taken aback by the couple’s spectacle


    at Dorsey International.


    Brielle, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, approached the police. “Hello, I’m the one who called in


    last night.”


    The officer snapped to attention, all business. “Ms. Brielle, good to hear from you. After your callst


    night, we’ve been tracking Sarah. But by that time, she was already missing. We’ve been searching


    non–stop until about two hours ago when we found her body.”


    The body had been found just two hours ago, but the parents had the obituary photo ready. They had


    already pinned the murder on Brielle, demanding an exnation from Dorsey International before the


    police had even identified a suspect.


    The bystanders were starting to catch on – it seemed like the grieving parents were trying to shake


    down Dorsey International for a quick buck.


    The onlookers, previously spectating, now was impressed with Brielle’s transparency. The fact that


    Brielle was the one who called the police, had them tilting their sympathies toward her. But that didn’t


    fully clear Brielle of suspicion, especially with the video of her pressuring Sarah still circting.


    Brielle nodded coolly at the officer. “Do I need toe with you to the station for a statement?”


    That was what the officer had in mind, but Simon and the woman resumed their theatrics, copsing


    onto the floor in tears. They might have had the moral high ground at first, but their tantrum was quickly


    eroding it.


    Brielle looked up at the Dorsey International employees. “Could someone assist these folks to

    the lobby to rest? As for the rest, let’s wait for the police investigation results.”


    The security guards nodded, moving to help Simon and the others. But Sarah’s father, Simon, a


    seasoned drama king, whipped out his phone to start recording. “Look at this, everyone! This is the vile


    face of Sarah’s boss she’s the one who killed my daughter.”


    The woman’s cries tore through the air, and the chaos intensified. Brielle, however, remained focused


    and asked the officer, “How long will the statement take?”


    The officer, caught off guard by herposure, replied, “Half an hour.”


    Brielle nodded, then addressed her colleagues, “I’ll try to make it back by the afternoon shift. I’d


    appreciate it if the reports on the otherpany issues could be on my desk before I return.”


    She was wrapped up in a murder case and was still delegating tasks for the afternoon. Her colleagues


    were stunned but then returned to their desks, their respect for her growing.


    Witnessing the scene, the crowd outside was at a loss for words.


    Somebody had already started a live stream of the drama, and initially, thements were full of vitriol


    against Brielle. But now, different opinions were surfacing.


    “This Brielle is really pretty, and her colleagues seem to respect her a lot. Could we have gotten it


    wrong?”


    “Pretty, sure, but don’t be fooled. She looks so good and so young – who knows how she really got her


    job.”

    “She was a valedictorian, for heaven’s sake. It was all over the papers. Heck, her study notes are still


    selling like hotcakes online.”


    “Now that you mention it, I remember. My daughter was in the same ss as her. A real looker, that girl


    – such bright eyes, but she never was one for mingling.”


    “You guys must’ve been paid off by Brielle to say such things. It’s disgusting, siding with a murderer!”
