A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 217 Chapter 217 She had nothing to fear if she was innocent ? Ariana laughed bitterly .

How could she have forgotten ? Brian had always been like this .

His heart was solely for Evelyn , with no regard for anyone elses suffering .

In her previous life , Brian had thrown her to the kidnappers , leaving her to be tortured and killed by them .

In this life , he had tossed her to the police .

How wonderful .

Ariana stood up from the ground , clutching her bleeding wound .

Fine .

Lets do as Mr.

Lodge wishes .

Ill go to the police station and cooperate with the investigation .

But if it turns out Im innocent … Brian , Ill have you grovel before me to apologize .

She endured the searing pain from her wound and walked out of the Torrey residence .

Once in the police car , Ariana felt her body growing numb from the pain .

The officers sitting beside her showed no concern for her bleeding arm .

Worse yet , her bandaged hand from earlier in the day was now unresponsive .

Glancing at her pitiful state , Ariana let out a self deprecating laugh .

She chose this herself when she fell for Brian .

Get out of the car ! The officers tone was curt and unfriendly .

They had dealt with their fair share of wealthy individuals who thought they were above the law .

To them , Ariana was no different .

Moreover , offending Brian meant she wouldnt be treated kindly .

The chief had already instructed them not to show her any respect .

As Ariana stepped out of the car , blood from her arm had begun to clot , though droplets still oozed from the wound .

The officers didnt care about her injury .

By the time she reached the interrogation room , her face was as pale as paper .

Where were you this afternoon , Ariana Torrey ? the police questioned .

The hospital , Ariana muttered faintly .

And after you left the hospital ? the police pressed .

Ariana remained silent .

Answer the question ! Where did you go after leaving the hospital ? the police demanded .

I was at the Hicks residence , Ariana confessed .

Do you mean Maddie Hicks house ? the police asked .

Yes , Ariana nodded .

Because earlier today , Maddie Hicks , Lila Lawson , and Evelyn Granger argued with you at the library , you sought revenge and sent people to cause trouble at Evelyns house .

Is that correct ? the police assumed .

It wasnt me .

Ariana firmly denied it .

Youre the only one with a motive .

Dont think we wont find out the truth .

I suggest you come clean now , or else … Are you threatening me ? Ariana stared at the police , quickly realizing that Brian must have arranged for them to make it difficult for her .

Ariana Torrey ! Watch your attitude ! the police growled .

I said it wasnt me ! Investigations should rely on evidence .

If you dont have proof , you have no right to detain me ! Ariana tried to stand up , but two officers behind her forced her back into the chair .

The police rose from his seat .

Lock her up .

Well deal with her once we find the evidence .

Yes , sir .

The officers roughly grabbed Ariana by the arms and escorted her to the womens holding cell .

Every time they restrained her injured arm , the pain was excruciating .

Ariana suspected Brian had given specific instructions to ensure her suffering .

She was thrown into the cell for the most dangerous female offenders , women who were awaiting trial for heinous crimes , many facing life sentences or death .

Clearly , this wasnt where she belonged .

Ariana knew this treatment was unjust , but for now , she had no choice but to endure it .

A middle aged woman inside the cell noticed Arianas arrival and sauntered over .
