The Divorce Prescription Novel Free Online

Chapter 217 Robin was taken to the police station ? Celines face turned pale .

Without a second thought , she hung up and turned to Hailey .

Hailey , I must go to the police station right now .

Im coming with you , Hailey said immediately .

At the police station , Celine and Hailey found Robin sitting in the holding area .

Celine rushed to her and grabbed Robins cold hands .

Robin , what happened ? Why are you here ? Robins face was pale , her expression hollow and dazed .

Celine , this is all because of that big star , Nikki Barnett .

Robins voice quivered as she explained .

Ms.

Barnett came to ELLA for the magazine shoot .

She needed to use a wire harness for one of the shots , but someone had cut the wire ahead of time .

She fell during the shoot , and afterward , she accused me .

She claimed she saw me cut the wire with her own eyes .

Thats why the police brought me in .

Celine , you have to believe me ! I didnt do it .

I would never do something like that .

I dont even know Ms.

Barnett personally ! Why would I harm her ? Robins bewilderment was palpable .

Nikkis sudden accusation had turned her into a suspect for attempted murder .

Hailey , standing nearby , looked equally stunned .

Who cut the wire , then ? If Ms.

Smith didnt do it , why would Nikki accuse her ? As far as I know , Nikki has no reason to hold a grudge against her .

Robin shook her head , confusion etched into her features .

Exactly ! Ive never done anything to her .

Why would she say it was me ? This doesnt make any sense .

Celines clear , steady gaze darkened momentarily , a flicker of something sharp passing through her eyes .

She gently reassured Robin , Dont worry , Robin .

Ill go talk to Nikki right now .

If she changes her statement , the police will have to let you go .

Celine and Hailey left the station without delay , heading straight for the hospital .

During the drive , Hailey broke the silence , her voice filled with confusion .

Celine , why do you think Nikki would frame Ms.

Smith for this ? Ms.

Smith is your best friend .

What Halley had only just started to suspect , Celine had already begun piecing together .

But for now , she said nothing .

In the VIP ward , Nikki sat comfortably on the bed .

For a magazine of ELLAs caliber , safety protocols had been excellent .

Even though the wire had snapped during the shoot , a thick foam mat had been placed below , leaving Nikki without so much as a bruise , When Celine and Hailey stepped into the room , Nikki greeted them as if she had been expecting them .

Her red lips curved upward .

Celine , Halley , youre here .

Celine walked closer to the bed , her gaze falling on Nikkis injury , Nikki , are you alright ? Nikki shook her head lightly .

Im fine .

Nikki , we just came from the police station .

Ms.

Smith would never have cut the wire .

Are you sure you didnt see it wrong ? Hailey said .

Celine looked at Nikki seriously .

Nikki , Robin is my best friend .

I hope youll reconsider and change your statement so she can be released Nikki leaned back lazily against the pillow .

Im feeling a bit thirsty , she said abruptly .

Her assistant , Alice Hum , immediately perked up .

Ill go get some water , she offered .

But Nikkis voice turned sharp as she snapped , I didnt ask you to do it ! Alice froze mid step , unsure of what to do next .

Nikki tilted her head slightly and shifted her gaze to Celine .

The message was unmistakable she wanted Celine to get the water .

Hailey opened her mouth to object , but Celine raised a hand to stop her .

Its fine , Ill do it .

Without hesitation , Celine poured a glass of water and brought it to Nikki .

Nikkis lips curled into a smug smile as she took the glass .

Celine , thank you .

She reached out to take the glass , but in the very next moment , her expression shifted .

With a dramatic motion , she slapped the glass away , sending it flying .

This water is so hot ! Were you trying to burn me to death ? she yelled .
