Jenna responded. “Yes, we need you to stabilize the situation now, Mr. Perry I’ll go check out what’s
happening at the police station and find a way to get Sophie oul.”
“Alright!” Mr. Perry agreed.
Meanwhile, Sophie had been sitting quietly in the interrogation room for a long time, with no one
coming to question her. She was locked in this enclosed mom for a full three hours.
She nced at her watch and gently tapped on the table. Immediately, a guard came in and asked,
“Ms. Sophie, would you like some
water?”
“How long do you n to keep me here?” Sophie didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
The guard seemed troubled and said, “Are you tired? Would you like to rest?”
Sophie changed the question, “Who reported me?”
Tm sorry, that’s confidential. We can’t tell you.”
Sophie frowned slightly.
They wouldn’t do anything to her, considering Colby’s influence, but they wouldn’t easily let her go
either. She was really worried about what was happening outside.
“I need to make a phone call”
“Ms. Sophie, you are in the interrogation phase right now. You cannot make phone calls
Sophie tapped on the table in imitation. “Then when will the person questioning me arrive?
The guard quickly apologized, saying. “They are currently assigning someone to investigate, so no one
is avable toe back right now. If you feel tired, we can arrange a room for you to rest.
“Arrange a room? A cell, you mean?” Sophie’s voice grew colder.
The guard immediately fell silent.

Sophie coldly stated, “Call whoever is in charge here. I’ll give you half an hour. If I don’t see anyone,
mywyer will sue yo
you.”
Sophie was serious, and the guard immediately ran out to call someone. After all, she was not
someone to be taken lightly, with a strong legal team behind her. Given the circumstances, she could
easily escte the situation.
In no time, Officer Derick rushed over.
Sophie had met Officer Derick before. She sneered and said, “Officer Derick.”
Officer Derick wiped his sweat and said, “Ms. Sophie.”
“Last time we met, I thought you were a smart person.”
“Ms. Sophie, this really has nothing to do with me. The report call was made to my boss, and I had no
choice but to bring you here.”
Officer Derick spoke eamestly. Sophie said. “Then who made the report call? You must know that.”
“I really don’t know. They used a voice changer and called from a public phone. We couldn’t even tell if
it was a man or a woman.”
Officer Derick didn’t seem to be lying and said with hesitancy. “Ms. Sophie, there’s something I must tell
you”
“Officer Derick, just tell me directly at this point”
“The moment this came up, I immediately had people start investigating. The issue now is that there
indeed appears to be a discrepancy in Russell Enterprises‘ ounts. There is a one–billion–dor
gap.”
Sophie’s expression turned serious.
A one–billion–dor gap? How had she never noticed a one–billion–dor gap in Russell Enterprises
before?
“Of course, I’m not saying this gap has anything to do with you, Ms. Sophie, but since you are the legal
representative of Russell Enterprises, you understand the implications.”
Sophie’s eyes turned cold in an instant I understand what you’re implying. Officer Derick. But your team
should be able to investigate whether I’m suspected of embezzlement or illegal transfer ofpany
assets, right?”
“We’re still investigating. But for now, Ms. Sophie, we’d like to ask you to stay with us for a few days
“A few days? It seems you
