Chapter 787: Wronged
Kian immediately began investigating.
Louise had always been arrogant during her time at thepany, especially because she was the
chief architect. She wasn''t friendly to the people around her, although she wasn''t the type to bully
others in the workce. But no one wanted to listen to what she had to say.
Most of her words were sucking up to the management but belittling those of lower ranks.
That''s why there were very few people who could tolerate her temper.
In addition, after she got part in the museum project, even her immediate supervisor didn''t pay much
attention to her. Herpany directly abandoned her, and her supervisor arranged for Amber, who was
slightly less showy than Louise, toe and suppress her.
The two of them were on equal footing in thepany, but Louise was good at ttering people. With a
stroke of luck, she managed to snatch many projects from Amber, which made their encounters
extremely tense.
Kian informed Ayan of these details. "Mr. Simpson, this matter should also have something to do with
Amber. ording to my investigation and contact with other architects involved in this project, when
they heard about Louise''s ident, they discussed it in the meeting room. Amber clearly showed signs
of guilt and avoided answering questions. If she had nothing to do with it, why would she avoid them?"
Ayan contacted Sophie and Summer since they were close to Camille. He had already instructed them
to investigate they thoroughly.
After experiencing such an incident, both of them were frightened and scared. Although Jenson had
instructed them not to speak recklessly or discuss the matter too much, they immediately told the truth
when questioned by Kian.
Naturally, they also discovered that Camille wasn''t the only one taken in for questioning; Amber was
also questioned.
Upon hearing this news, Ayan didn''t say much. He simply told Kian to keep an eye on the actions of the
police. After Camille finished giving her statement, he had Yessica go and pick her up, then return
directly to Maple Leaves Mansion.
Every action Ayan took was to maintain distance from Camille. However, it wasn''t because he was
concerned about his own sake, but worried that his involvement would bring trouble to Camille, for she

didn''t have anything to do with the situation.
His identity was too special, and it would be easy for others to perceive him as being maneuver it.
He couldn''t allow such a situation to arise.
Ayan was also anxious actually. As a result, he had no focus on work and stood silently by the floor-to-
ceiling window in his office.
At the police station...
After Camille and Amber were brought in, they were ced in separate small rooms.
There were two police officers, a man and a woman, conducting the interview with Camille. They asked
her for detailed information about her interactions with Louise, including the previous incident.
The female officer questioned Camille, "Since she apologized to you, why didn''t you ept her
apology?"
Camille expressed her truest feelings, saying, "I believe that not every apology from someone who has
done wrong deserves a response. Although she apologized, the harm she caused me didn''t make me
feel that her apology was worth epting."
"So you don''t ept her apology, and your anger towards her remains hidden inside you, right?"
"I truly don''t ept her apology, but I don''t feel angry towards her either. She''s simply someone I
dislike, but I''m not angry enough to let it linger in my heart. For me, she''s just even more of a stranger
to me."
"Miss Armstrong, we will record every word you said, so we hope you can be truthful with us."
"Every word I said is my innermost honest thought."
Camille knew she did nothing wrong, so she had no fear.
Only someone without any guilt would have enough confidence to keep theirposure.
And that was exactly how Camille was at the moment.
After nearly half an hour of interrogation, the two police officers left the room, leaving Camille alone
inside.
She still felt somewhat unreal because, the person she worked with just yesterday was gone like this.
Although she truly didn''t like Louise, she didn''t wish for her to die either.
So she felt a sense of indescribable regret, a kind ofment on in the fragility of life.
Camille pressed her lips together and sat quietly without moving.
In another room.
Two police officers asked Amber several questions, and her answers were somewhat evasive and
panicked. Her facial expression showed both nervousness and impatience.
When the police asked, "Did you have many unpleasant experiences with the deceased? Did you often
assign her to do tasks that weren''t architectural in nature in this project? Did you frequently have
conflicts and arguments?"
Amber''s first reaction was not to answer the questions but to stare at the police with a stiff face. She
said, "Many people had conflicts with her, so don''t me everything on me, okay? You''re falsely
using me. Did Camille tell you to ask me this? Camille herself had conflicts with Louise too. When
Louise apologized to her, shepletely ignored it. Is it because she''s Ayan''s wife that she wants to
cover up these facts?"
Amber''s panic caused the two officers recording the statement to exchange nces. One of the
officers said, "We are asking you now, don''t involve others. We naturally have someone to take
Camille''s statement. We''re not using you of anything rted to the deceased. We''re just trying to
understand how your rtionship is with the deceased. You don''t need to be so nervous and agitated.
Your reaction might make people wonder if you have something to hide."
"I don''t, I have nothing to hide. I haven''t done anything. Feel free to ask me anything because it has
nothing to do with me."
Amber''s attitude was overly forceful, and she repeated over and over again that she had no connection
to Louise''s death. But the more she did this, the more it seemed like she was reacting strongly because
she had something to hide.
Due to her excessive reactions and attitude, the recording session with Amber took over an hour to
After about half an hour, the police released both Camille and Amber.
Before leaving, the officers said to them, "We hope both of you won''t leave Hance City recently, and
please make sure we can get to you. The police may contact you at any time for further investigation.
We hope you understand."
Camille nodded. "I understand."
Amber remained silent with a grim expression, not saying a word.
She didn''t want to stay here any longer, not even for a second. She just wanted to leave as soon as
possible.
Camille and Amber walked out of the police station, and Yessica, who was in the car, immediately got
out and waved at Camille. "Cami!"
Camille smiled and walked towards Yessica, but just as she took a step forward, Amber suddenly
turned and looked at her.
Amber stared at Camille and said, "Did you tell the police that there were conflicts between Louise and
me? Mrs. Simpson, aren''t you just adding fuel to the fire? Can you honestly say that you didn''t have
any conflicts with her? Why are you pushing all the me onto me?"
Camille frowned, coldly staring at Amber. "First, I didn''t do what you''re using me of. Second, if you
truly believe it was me, then present the evidence. We''re still in the police station, so let''s make things
clear while we''re here."
After finishing her words, Camille didn''t immediately avert her gaze from Amber''s face. She waited for
Amber''s response, leaving the decision entirely in Amber''s hands.
If necessary, they would turn back. They hadn''t gone far from the police station anyway.
As for whether Camille actually said those words in front of the police, the police wouldn''t deceive or
lie. The truth would be revealed with a single question.
The two locked eyes, but Amber couldn''t hold Camille''s gaze for long. She said, "I have nothing to
hide, whether it concerns you or not. You can keep using me however you want."
"It''s not my ce to judge. You should rify it with the police. But you''re so nervous. What are you
afraid of?" Camille''s eyes showed a probing look as she stared at Amber without blinking.
