"How did you know that Linda died after consuming aspirin when it is nowhere mentioned in the report?" Aria folded her hands as she raised her eyebrows, intimidating the Inspector completely. Nobody noticed the phone in her hand, given the condition they were in. "Who told you that she died after consuming aspirin?"
The policeman did not have any response to Aria's question, and he stared at her dumbfounded. Even the other constables were stunned at her reverse interrogation, and all they could do was gape at her in disbelief.
While the police were too shocked to speak a word, Ian and Stuart just smirked to themselves on seeing Aria render their current enemies speechless and completely under her control. She had single-handedly pushed them to the corner, not allowing them to even retreat, forcing them to just surrender or die a brutal death.
"What do you have to say now, Inspector? How did you know that Linda died after consuming aspirin?" Aria probed and right at this moment, Ivy entered the room with a bang, startling everyone, including Aria. Her entry was too dramatic and unbelievable, and Aria stifled a smile on seeing her.
"What the heck is happening? Who the fuck are you? Get out. Get out of here." The policeman roared but it had no effect on Ivy, who was here on a mission. She sent a silent signal to Aria, who pocketed her phone and waited for her sister to take over from here.
Ian too was stunned to see the Ivy turning on her journalist mode. Though it was all pre-planned and he already knew why she was here, he was still impressed by her perfect timing. She had entered right at the moment when Aria was forcing the man to a dead end, and her entry only made matters worse for the police.
Ian then turned towards the man behind Ivy and nodded at him curtly, sending him the orders to tag along with them, and the man immediately understood what was wanted of him. He held onto the camera and stood behind Ivy, waiting for her to start with her interrogation.
Before they had gone to meet the police, Ian and the group had come up with a plan, and to execute it, they had looked for one of the medical staff in the hospital who Ian trusted. Though the man was young and new, he was diligent and he knew what was wanted of him.
He had agreed to be a part of the plan without understanding what was happening. All that mattered to him was the man he respected wanted his help, and he was willing to do it at all costs.
Unlike Aria, who had not even bothered to look at the Inspector's badge, Ivy did not miss it for that was what she wanted in her video. She had to take his name to make it more effective.
"Inspector Hudson James, we have received information that Miss Linda, who had tried to commit suicide in prison this morning, was admitted to the Regal Hospital. But barely a few hours after when she was finally stabilized and out of danger, she passed away mysteriously."
Ivy made sure to stress the word 'mysteriously' to show that it was not a simple case, and Linda's death was anything but normal. "Would you tell us how did Linda die?"
"Who the fuck are you and how did you even enter the room? Get out of here." The policeman shouted, completely disregarding Ivy and the man behind her.
On seeing that violence was about to erupt and Ivy might be injured in the process, Ian and Stuart moved closer to her to protect her while Aria was right beside her, ready to slap the man in the face if required.
"Inspector, please refrain from using profanities. We are the media and we deserve respect." Ivy too did not back off, showing the man his place. He seemed too arrogant, and Ivy liked playing with him, especially when it gave her immense pleasure to punch and demolish their ego until they were left with nothing to even brag about.
"Media?" The man scoffed in disgust. "Do you think you can fool me? How dare you lie to me and claim to be the media?"
"It is not my problem that you do not believe us. But I can provide you with the proof, and for that, you will have to tune into the news channel which started operating right a day before." Ivy started and smirked as soon as she saw the changes on the egomaniac's face. He was now horrified, and Ivy reveled in the feeling of having him under her foot.
"Now would you mind telling us what happened here and how the patient died?" She asked patiently, controlling all her urges to set the man straight using her usual strategies.
The man, this time did not speak any vulgarities and changed his stance in front of her. Although he was still skeptical about her identity, he did not intend to ruin himself by showing his true colors to the woman in front of him. He had already seen the man with the camera behind her and his fear only rose as he wondered what all had been recorded in it.
By now, a lot of people had gathered near the room where they were. Ivy had made sure to attract people not only inside the room, but even the people outside it were also intrigued to find out what was happening. She had made sure to open the door loud enough to gather an audience.
The Inspector stared at the people who were trying to peek inside and see what was happening. So, he could not even smash the camera and stop all that he had said and done once the woman had entered the room. He did not know how to tackle the situation in.
The Inspector had to fulfill the part of the plan entrusted to him. But with his audience and the media and the way the female doctor had twisted the situation to her advantage, stumping him completely, his brain had completely stopped working.
"Inspector, please tell us how Miss Linda died?" Ivy probed further, not giving the man a breather.
"I am yet to receive an answer from you. How were you so sure that Linda died after consuming aspirin? None of the reports say so. How did you deduce it?" Aria fired from the side.
The man was now completely under the two sisters' control, and all Ian and Stuart could do were look at them in pride. They had never seen anything so amazing and stunning before, and they could only watch it with twinkling eyes.
