Chapter 939 Melissa Lerche Is Behind This

At the hospital, Bianca took the elevator and went to the top floor. She noticed that aside from Luke's bodyguards standing outside the door, there were also two police officers.

She frowned and quickly walked forward. Did something happen to Riley?"

The bodyguard replied, "There was a small accident, but the doctor said that it's not serious." "Then the police..." Bianca shot a glance at them. This belongs to - ©.

"Ms. Riley had asked for them to come,” the bodyguard said.

Bianca was puzzled. Why would Luke agree to Riley's request?

Unless...

She opened the door to the ward.

Riley was bawling while sitting on the bed, and Johann was bandaging her forehead.

"What's going on?" Bianca asked as she walked over.

Johann finished bandaging Riley's head and told the police officers, "She's fine. You can record her statement." "Alright. Thank you, Doctor." The police officers went beside Riley. "Have you been here all this while, Ms. Riley?" "Yes," Riley sniffled and continued to answer the question, "I've been here ever since I regained consciousness."

Bianca frowned hard. She turned to look at Rain, but Rain gave her a gesture to tell her to be calm.

She could only look at Riley again. However, Rain's composure calmed her down.

"Can you tell us the details?" The police officers did not understand. They were searching for Riley because of public pressure, and just when they thought that she had died, she resurfaced once more.

"Mr. Luke Crawford protected me." Riley's hands were shaking as they clutched the blanket tightly. The incident that happened earlier had given her a major shock, and that made her decide to divulge the truth.

Bianca had told her that they would not imprison her in the ward once she recovered, but she realized that her life would be in danger once she stepped out!

Without Luke's protection, and if the police had not arrested Melissa, she would not know when she would die.

She was only a normal citizen and no match for Melissa's influence!

"Bianca Rayne was not the person who harmed me at the Tanner mansion that day. It was Melissa Lerche!" Riley said truthfully.

The police officers were shocked, and they quickly recorded it. "Are you telling the truth?" "I saw it with my own eyes. I can't be mistaken." Riley was agitated. She thought that she could use the fact to blackmail Melissa, but she did not expect that Melissa was not planning on negotiating with her at all!

"Please don't be so agitated. Try to recall as many details of the incident as possible." The police officer glanced at Bianca incredulously, wondering if she had threatened Riley to provide a false statement.

Riley repeated the events that happened that day.

Bianca was quite surprised. She did not expect that the culprit was Melissa.

After the police officers recorded her statement, they confirmed with her again, ’ Ms. Riley, can you guarantee that what you said earlier is true?" "Yes, I am very sure of it. Melissa is jealous that I was

bearing a child with Xavier, and that was why she tried to harm me and frame Bianca..." Riley tried to make herself sound as calm as possible so that she sounded more trustworthy.

Rain stood up with a phone in her hand. "Officer, I have some evidence to prove that what Ms. Riley is true."

Bianca looked at Rain in confusion.

Why did she not know that Rain had evidence?

Bianca leaned closer to look. The person in the video was the servant from the Tanner mansion, the exact person that had invited her to the lounge.

In the video, the servant had divulged everything, including how she had invited Riley to the lounge, then Bianca so that she could be framed.

The mastermind behind the incident was Melissa Lerche.

Bianca could not help but find the entire incident fishy.

Why would the servant of the Tanner family listen to Melissa, then turn around and betray her?

'How interesting...'

She did not say anything, nor did the police officer.

After watching the video, the police officer said, "We'll have to make a copy of the video as evidence." "No problem. I’ll also hand you the assassin who tried to take Ms. Riley's life. She's quite stubborn, and you'll need something extreme measures to get her to talk," Rain said cooperatively.

"Did you find out anything from her?" The police officer said, feeling quite awkward.

"We're law-abiding citizens, Officer. Why would we do that? You're better at interrogation," Rain said as she took the phone, then handed the police officer a USB drive. "There is a copy of the video inside. We'll also send the assassin over to the police station later." "Alright. Thank you for your cooperation," the police officer said before leaving.

Bianca did not expect that the matter was resolved so easily.

Rain handed the phone back to Riley. "Here's a new phone. You should take good care of it instead of throwing it. Also, now that you’ve made your statement to the police, then you should update your social media accounts to tell people that you're still alive and not in danger. Also, you should clarify that Madam Rayne isn't the one who harmed you." "Of course." Riley seemed to be very cooperative. She took the phone but continued to look at her, "Um, will you still be around tonight?"

Rain smiled but did not answer.

"Those people know that I'm at this hospital. If you're not here, my life will be in danger. Your Madam will be in trouble!" Riley glanced at Bianca, knowing that Bianca's innocence relied on Riley's testimony.

"The police already have your statement on record. Even if something happens to you, Madam won't be involved in it." Rain was purposely pranking her.

"You can't do this to me. You can't neglect me as long as Melissa Lerche isn't arrested!" Riley was feeling truly afraid.

She did not want to narrowly escape death again.

Bianca shook her head helplessly. "You should stay here tonight, Rain. Let the bodyguards protect her until the police make their arrests." "Alright. I'm only doing so because Madam asks me to. Don't think of trying to blackmail other people just because you have the evidence, Ms. Riley. You are powerless. If those influential people want to silence you, it's as easy as crushing an ant," Rain told her.

Riley felt guilty. She admitted that she had been naive.

She nodded and said, 'Thank you. I won't do this again next time."

Bianca glanced at Johann and thanked him genuinely. "Thank you for your efforts." "Just doing my job." Johann might be forced by Luke to handle several tasks, but he did not bear any resentment to him. He glanced at the bandage on Bianca's head and reminded her, "You can remove the stitches on your forehead today, Mrs. Crawford. How about coming to my office later, and I'll help you remove them?"
