Chapter 185
At this time, two police officers came over and shed their IDs at Selena. “Excuse me, are you
Selena Yard?”
“Yes.”
“Please follow us to the police station.”
Selena looked at Meredith, and likewise, Meredith looked at her with something indecipherable in
her gaze as she stood there emotionlessly, her expression tinged with a faint hint of sorrow.
Just when the police officers were about to take Selena away, the Lakes suddenly appeared. The
person who rushed forward was one Selena recognized—Finneas’ mother, Judy. “How’s my
grandchild? Is my grandchild okay?”
Upon hearing this, Meredith was naturally perturbed. Megan is all but lying in the ICU, yet their only
concern is the child in her stomach. Still, she kept herposure. “The child is gone, and my sister
is now in the ICU.”
“My grandson is gone! How could God be so cruel?” Judy instantly burst into tears and wailed
loudly, her bearing as a wealthy woman disappearing into thin air. Thus, it was evident how much
she’d been looking forward to the child.
All of a sudden, she swung her gaze at Selena. “It was you! You did this! It must have been you,
yes? I want you to pay for my grandson’s life, you evil woman!” Then, she abruptly charged at
Selena and left a few bloody scratches on her face. All at once, Selena felt a burning pain on her
face. After all that scratching, Judy then grabbed her hair. While Selena was no easy prey, Judy was
an olddy, so it’d be bad if she took it too far and caused Judy’s death. Nheless, she still
instinctively resisted, which angered the olddy even more that she sessively pped her
several times.
In the end, it was the police who stopped Judy. “We’re going to take her to the police station, so
please don’t obstruct us.”
“Take her away and sentence her to death!” Judy roared.
Selena then left with the police officers pathetically. For some inexplicable reason, she took ast
nce over her shoulder at Meredith, only to see her standing there, seemingly with a faint smile on
her face. “Hurry up!” a police officer urged. At this, she quickly left.
At the police station, Selena had her statement taken. She cooperated and briefly exined the
entire incident.
“Why did you strangle her?”
“Because my daughter was missing. We had a grudge, so I concluded that she must have taken my
daughter. Naturally, I had to confront her.”
“And so, you strangled her? Then, you even pushed her down the esctor?”
“I didn’t push her. At that time, I wanted to loosen my hands when I noticed that she was almost
running out of breath, but someone tripped me, and I almost fell. However, her neck was in my grip,
so…” Selena had never thought that things woulde to this either.
“It wasn’t deliberate?”
“Of course, it wasn’t deliberate. Considering the height of the esctor, pushing someone down
might result in the person’s death. I’ve got a daughter, so I don’t want to get embroiled in such a
lawsuit.”

The police officers then asked her a few more questions before they finally concluded the session.
“Can I leave now?”
“You’re wanting to leave? Do you know that this is a case of intentional harm? If the other party
refuses to let this go and files awsuit, you’ll be convicted. You’d better contact your family and
have them settle this out of court. Anyway, you won’t be leaving today.”
“What are you saying?”
“I’m saying that you’re being detained. Do you still not understand?”
After that, Selena was detained for real, so she had to stay in the police station miserably.
Fortunately, Linda can take care of Juniper. However, I’m well aware that the Lake Family will never
let me off the hook, nor will Rnd. There are grievances between us in the first ce, and all the
grievances are now revived. Worse still, I’m the one on the losing end.
