Luke knew Luca would leave herself a way out. Even though the police officers had come looking for her, there was nothing they could do to her.
However, he would never allow the woman he loved to suffer. Hence, he put a cold expression on his face and walked in front of Luca. "Come on. Let's see what they're up to."
Luca looked at the man's tall figure from behind. She zoned out a little.
Luke was standing in front of her to protect her. When Luca recalled what he did for her every time she was in trouble, she would always have mixed feelings deep in her heart. It was a bittersweet feeling.
Luca did not space out for long. The moment Luke stepped on the stairs, she quickly followed behind him.
The police officers who were waiting in the living room saw Luke coming down first. They exchanged glances with each other.
Did they not come here to arrest a woman called Luca? Why was Luke Crawford here?
“Sir, why is the woman together with Luke Crawford?” a young police officer asked in a low voice. Could it be that there was something unusual going on in between them?
The older police officer shook his head and replied, "Stop minding other people's business. We're police officers, not reporters."
The younger police officer nodded his head. Suddenly, he remembered Luke's scandal that happened a few months ago.
Was it not fake news? It was true?
"Bring the children upstairs." Luke saw that the three children were sitting on the same couch, staring at the police officers curiously. Luke's face darkened, and he ordered the maid.
The maid replied and brought the three children upstairs hurriedly.
Luca came right up to the police officers, looking calm. She could feel that Luke was dissatisfied. Then, she spoke first. "Why are you looking for me?"
The older police officer looked at them and asked in a stern tone, "You're Luca Craw?"
"Yes," Luca replied in a simple yet confident manner. She did not show any guilt in front of the police officers.
The police officers who thought she would behave arrogantly because she had Luke's support were surprised to see her being so cooperative.
The older police officer said, "Please follow us back to the police station." “What for?" Luca asked him even though she knew the reason. The expression on her face was calm as usual. There was no doubt that these police officers came here because of Pierre's matter.
"We believe that you're involved in an alleged assault case against Mr. Pierre Mallory. So, please follow us back to the police station for the investigation," said the older police officer. He glanced at the document in his hands. It was Pierre Mallory who reported it.
"Sure. But please let me go upstairs and get changed first." Luca did not put them in a difficult spot. She turned around and went upstairs.
The two police officers waited downstairs. They shot a glance at Luke. The expression on his face was as cold as stone. He looked like a demon from hell.
They knew it would be tough to deal with this case, but they had to do it. Whenever someone reported a case to them, it was their duty to investigate it. They were secretly glad that Luca was willing to cooperate with them.
Luca got changed and went downstairs. She looked at the three people in the living room.
Luke had been sizing the two police officers up. His aura was so strong that the two police officers dared not to speak a word.
Luca walked toward them and said, "Alright. Let's go."
The young police officer heard her and took the handcuffs out.
Luca frowned and reminded him, saying, "I'm just following you back to the station to help in the investigation. I shouldn't be considered a convict before things are figured out yet, right?"
"Yes, that's right. What you said is right. Keep the handcuffs away," the older police officer said politely. Handcuffs were only applicable when they dealt with people who did not comply with the law.
The younger police officer kept the handcuffs away after listening to what the older police officer said.
The older police officer was more experienced. He was already grateful that Luca was willing to take the initiative to cooperate with them. "Thank you for your cooperation. The police car is out there. Please come with me."
Luca nodded. She turned around and shot a glance at Luke. She said, "I'll be back soon."
"Alright." Luke's facial expression was still livid. Luca did not ask for his help even when she was facing the police officers alone. It was as though she could handle everything herself.
He was not used to Luca being so strong and independent.
Luca heard his response and knew that he would not do anything. Hence, she left with the police officers while feeling reassured.
When she reached the police station, the chief police officer sat down opposite her when she had just sat down.
Perhaps the older police officer had told him about her earlier. That was why the chief police officer was polite to her. He served her a cup of tea before he began the interrogation.
Luca looked at her phone without lifting her head.
She did not want to waste her time. Hence, she had taken a few photos of the documents that she needed to translate when she went to get changed. This way, she would be able to continue to do her translation work when she was here.
The chief police officer noticed that she did not intend to speak first. He had no choice but to say, "Ms. Luca, we received a police report and that's why we had to bring you here to cooperate in our investigation. I hope you can understand." "The person who reported me to the police is Pierre Mallory, right?" Luca still did not lift her head. She typed out the translated sentence in her notes app.
“Yes. Mr. Mallory claims that you attacked him at the hospital's parking lot. He's seriously injured and currently receiving treatment at the hospital.” The chief police officer wondered if she really injured someone. The woman in front of him was way too calm.
“Is it true that I injured him? Is there any injury assessment report?” Luca asked.
The chief police officer glanced at the police officer who was in charge of the case.
The police officer shook his head. Pierre only told him that he was receiving treatment at the hospital, but he did not show him any reports.
“It seems like there's no such report. The hospital would have provided him with an injury assessment report if I had really injured him. Now, can I sue Pierre Mallory for defamation?" Luca put her phone down and looked at the police officer while she asked.
The chief police officer looked at her with admiration. She was able to think clearly and speak articulately.
“Did he provide any evidence when you received the report?" The chief police officer turned around and asked his subordinates. He was not sure about the details of the case. He was attending a meeting when Pierre made the police report.
"Mr. Pierre's assistant sent a video, and Ms. Luca did attack him," the older police officer replied immediately. The police officers were dispatched to her residence because of the video. They failed to ask Pierre to provide an injury assessment report.
Luca asked, "Did it take place at the hospital's parking lot? Pierre was going to attack me, but I managed to dodge him. I only pinched him with my hands without using any tools. How could I possibly have injured him? Looking at this from a legal perspective, I was merely defending myself. I didn't cause him any serious injuries."
The chief police officer finished watching the video. Indeed, she was not holding any weapons when she dealt with Pierre. The man fell to the ground after getting touched twice.
The scene that looked like both of them were fighting could not be used as evidence that Luca had injured him.
The chief police officer had made his judgment. He smiled at Luca and said, "Ms. Luca, thank you for cooperating. After investigating, I've concluded that the case can't be considered as physical assault. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Why don't you let us send you back home?" copyrighted © content.
"Thank you, but I can hail a ride back home myself." Luca saved the translated document on her phone. Then, she stood up and asked, "Is there anything I need to sign?"
