The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2391

Clarice was brought into the interrogation room that night. She was separated from Justin only by a thin wall.

Although Jack was one of Donald's subordinates, he was unaware of what was truly

happening behind the scenes.

All he cared about was successfully solving this case. It was the perfect opportunity for him to prove himself to Donald and help him put his rival, Ralph, in his place.

Jack was determined to make Ralph see how he would handle Justin's case.

He imagined the headlines describing him as a fearless police officer who was not afraid of power, earning the public's approval and praise.

Jack had never expected Clarice to be involved in this case and only treated her as another suspect. "Justin claimed that you provided the drugs. What do you have to say about that?" Clarice blinked innocently, pretending to be clueless. "That's not true! I don't know why Mr. Salvador would say such a thing, but I've never given him any drugs! Officer, could he be using this as an excuse to clear his name? You can't just take his word for it and let him falsely accuse an innocent person like me!"

Jack's tone was cold and stern. "You're his personal doctor someone with unrestricted access to his home. You have sufficient motive and opportunity to plant the drugs in his office. Our investigations show that only you and his secretary, Ian, have been in and out of his office recently. No one else has that kind of access.

"As a doctor, you have direct access to medications. Crystal Ice originates from a class of powerful sedatives that affect the central nervous system. Isn't that exactly your field of expertise? How do you explain your involvement?"

Clarice felt her heart sink, but she kept her composure. "Being a doctor doesn't make me a criminal. That's a ridiculous accusation! The only medications I've ever given Mr. Salvador were for his migraines and stress relief. If you don't believe me, search my home and investigate my networks to see if I have any connections to drug dealers!

"I may just be an ordinary doctor, nowhere near as powerful as Mr. Salvador, but that doesn't give you the right to accuse me of drug dealing without evidence. This is nothing more than a baseless accusation!"

Jack smirked. "You're far from ordinary."

Although Jack was not as skilled as Ralph when it came to solving cases, his quick thinking made up for it. "You're also the personal doctor of Grant Salvador, Justin's elder brother. It's said that you've been working with him for years."

He continued, "Sibling rivalries in powerful families are nothing new. I don't need firsthand experience to know how these things work. The Salvador family only has two heirs. Justin, as the younger brother, is in charge right now. It's obvious that the elder sibling wouldn't be happy about it. What's stopping him from sabotaging his brother to claim the inheritance? You're loyal to Grant. It's not far-fetched to think you'd use your position to plant evidence and frame Justin. The motives are crystal clear."

Hearing this, Clarice felt her heart sink. If a lie detector had been present, she would have been instantly exposed.

However, she forced herself to stay calm, letting out a cold laugh. "Your imagination is impressive, sir, but you're making baseless assumptions. Mr. Grant was Mr. Justin's childhood savior. Despite being half-brothers, Mr. Grant has never looked down on or mistreated Mt. Justin.

"Mr. Grant has been living abroad, focusing on his health, and has never shown any hostility toward Justin. If he truly wanted to harm Justin, he's had countless opportunities over the years. Why would he wait until now, when Justin is stronger and more established than ever? Your logic simply doesn't add up. You're just looking for reasons to accuse me." Jack frowned. The more he listened, the more uncertain he felt.

Sensing his hesitation, Clarice knew she had temporarily thrown him off. She leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms relaxedly.

"Everything I've said is the truth. Feel free to investigate. No matter how many questions you ask, my answer remains the same. I didn't give Mr. Justin any drugs, and I have no idea where his drugs came from."

Meanwhile, Steven and the company's public relations department worked tirelessly to control the news and fallout. None of them had slept for over 24 hours.
