235 Chapter 235: Let Her Do What She Wanted

"Thanks, chief." Dylan motioned to the police chief not to follow.

The police chief said nothing, nodded, and went out.

In the interrogation room, there were only Savannah and Dylan, very quiet.

Savannah looked at Dylan and said, "thank you."

She didn't expect that he would help her.

Dylan gave her a cold look. If he didn't help her, she would certainly make a noise when she returned home.

Let her do what she wanted all at once!

Savannah couldn't wait to pick up the remote control and pressed Play.

On the screen, the sign of Hot Bird appeared.

Guests came in and out under the street lights.

Savannah stared at the screen for any suspicious characters or details.

She didn't fast-forward in case she might miss anything.

The hours wore on; Savannah's eyes were sore and heavy from staring at the screen for a long time, but she just rubbed them and continued.

Dylan sat in a chair on one side and said nothing.

Finally, a familiar figure on the screen picked Savannah up. She quickly pressed the Pause button!

In the surveillance, the figure was about to enter the bar.

Although the picture was muzzy, the figure was so familiar that Savannah was absolutely sure she knew her!

It was her cousin, Valerie!

"Did you see that? It's Valerie!" Savannah called Dylan, pointing to the screen.

Dylan obviously saw it. He scowled, "why did she go to the bar in the middle of the night?"

That's right!

Valerie was pregnant now. She valued this baby a lot and stayed in Rosemount Villa every day. How could she go to the bar late at night?!

What's more, she went to the same bar where Olivia had an accident!

Was it just a coincidence?

Savannah continued to stare at the screen.

Two hours later, Valerie emerged from the bar again.

Unfortunately, there was no monitoring inside the bar. It was impossible to track Valerie's whereabouts after she entered the bar. Whether Valerie went to the back stair to meet Olivia was still not clear, let alone whether she pushed Olivia down the stairs!

Savannah stood up, walking out in quick steps but was stopped by Dylan's crisp voice, "where are you going?"

"I'm going to tell the police that Valerie is a suspect!" This couldn't be a coincidence. Valerie happened to go to the same bar where Olivia had an accident on the same night?

Olivia was seriously injured and unconscious, which must have something to do with Valerie!

"That's not how things were! Valerie must have something to do with Olivia's injury! I'm sure!" Savannah cried.

"What's the use? You have to convince the police. But now, do you have any proof?" Dylan replied mercilessly, restraining her from taking such a foolish step.

Savannah stayed a moment, snuffling, "what do you mean? Just forget about it? Let Valerie off? In any case, I shall tell the police to investigate Valerie!"

"As you can see, Valerie left the bar two hours after Olivia's falling. That is to say, if she is the murderer, she had been deliberately arranged to leave very late. During the period, she must have let the waiter saw her, which could free her from suspicion. When the police question her, she can prove that she is innocent. What's more, if you let the police check on her, you'll only keep her on her guard!" said Dylan patiently.

Savannah listened and began to sweat with anxiety.

She knew her cousin was not a kind woman, but she never thought Valerie had such a ruthless nature!

Why? Why did Valerie do this to Olivia!?

What conflict could Olivia have with Valerie?

The only contact they had had was that Valerie had made a fool of herself because of Olivia a few months ago in a café. At that time, Valerie was recorded in a video that was posted to Twitter by a passer-by and was known as the other woman by everyone for a period of time.

But she was not that stupid. Now she just began to lead a life of luxury and privilege. She wouldn't murder Olivia for that to trouble herself!

Why did Valerie do that to Olivia?

According to the surveillance video, Olivia went to the bar first, and Valerie came in later.

Could it be that…Olivia asked Valerie to meet her at the bar, and then they got into an argument? Did Valerie push Olivia down the stairs in anger?

But why did Olivia meet with Valerie in person?

What made Valerie take the risk of being a murder to murder Olivia?

It seemed that hopes were fading for finding the truth. The light in Savannah's big eyes became dim.

"What does that mean?" Savannah asked faintly. "I can do anything."

Dylan stared at her. The little woman looked pale and red-eyed, tired and thin as if she would fall down with a gust of wind.

He got up and came slowly toward her, pulling her into a warm embrace. "Don't noise it abroad now. Watch your chance in the dark, and the enemy would show the cloven hoof sooner or later." His voice was steady, calming her down.

Yeah, maybe Dylan's right.

Now she had no evidence. Rushing to accuse Valerie now would only make her alert.

The secret investigation might help to find some clues!

She nodded, and at the same moment, she felt dizzy and close to fainting.

"What's wrong?" Dylan clasped her waist, startled.

"Too tired, I guess, after watching the video for several hours. Let's go back." Supporting herself by his arms, she stood up straight.

Dylan frowned when he saw her walking slowly toward the door. He went straight to her, lifted her to his arms, and then left the room.

"Dylan, let me down, I can walk myself..." Savannah recovered and struggled slightly.

"I don't want to see my woman faint at the police station," he said. A dim light struck his handsome face, and he squeezed her to his arms. Then he strode to the front hall.

Savannah could not escape from his clasp, so she had to wrap her arms to his neck and let him carry her out.

The police chief and his subordinates were waiting outside. They were surprised to see Mr. Sterling come out with Savannah in his arms. However, they just withdrew their eyes from them without saying anything, pretending not to see.

Savannah blushed and buried her head in Dylan's arms as Dylan strode out of the police station.

* * *

After returning from the police station, Savannah visited Olivia every day so as to take Matt's place when he had to work.

Olivia was still in a coma from her injuries.

This day, Savannah spent the day at the hospital as usual. She read her favorite gossip magazine and sometimes spoke to Olivia, who was in a coma.

At the end of the day, the sun was down, and the room was fading to monochrome. Olivia's wizened face looked paler in the light of the sunset.
