Chapter 217 Chapter 217 She had nothing to fear if she was innocent ? Ariana laughed bitterly .
How could she have forgotten ? Brian had always been like this .
His heart was solely for Evelyn , with no regard for anyone elses suffering .
In her previous life , Brian had thrown her to the kidnappers , leaving her to be tortured and killed by them .
In this life , he had tossed her to the police .
How wonderful .
Ariana stood up from the ground , clutching her bleeding wound .
Fine .
Lets do as Mr.
Lodge wishes .
Ill go to the police station and cooperate with the investigation .
But if it turns out Im innocent … Brian , Ill have you grovel before me to apologize .
She endured the searing pain from her wound and walked out of the Torrey residence .
Once in the police car , Ariana felt her body growing numb from the pain .
The officers sitting beside her showed no concern for her bleeding arm .

Worse yet , her bandaged hand from earlier in the day was now unresponsive .
Glancing at her pitiful state , Ariana let out a self deprecating laugh .
She chose this herself when she fell for Brian .
Get out of the car ! The officers tone was curt and unfriendly .
They had dealt with their fair share of wealthy individuals who thought they were above the law .
To them , Ariana was no different .
Moreover , offending Brian meant she wouldnt be treated kindly .
The chief had already instructed them not to show her any respect .
As Ariana stepped out of the car , blood from her arm had begun to clot , though droplets still oozed from the wound .
The officers didnt care about her injury .
By the time she reached the interrogation room , her face was as pale as paper .
Where were you this afternoon , Ariana Torrey ? the police questioned .
The hospital , Ariana muttered faintly .
And after you left the hospital ? the police pressed .
Ariana remained silent .
Answer the question ! Where did you go after leaving the hospital ? the police demanded .
I was at the Hicks residence , Ariana confessed .
Do you mean Maddie Hicks house ? the police asked .
Yes , Ariana nodded .
Because earlier today , Maddie Hicks , Lila Lawson , and Evelyn Granger argued with you at the library , you sought revenge and sent people to cause trouble at Evelyns house .
Is that correct ? the police assumed .
It wasnt me .
Ariana firmly denied it .

Youre the only one with a motive .
Dont think we wont find out the truth .
I suggest you come clean now , or else … Are you threatening me ? Ariana stared at the police , quickly realizing that Brian must have arranged for them to make it difficult for her .
Ariana Torrey ! Watch your attitude ! the police growled .
I said it wasnt me ! Investigations should rely on evidence .
If you dont have proof , you have no right to detain me ! Ariana tried to stand up , but two officers behind her forced her back into the chair .
The police rose from his seat .
Lock her up .
Well deal with her once we find the evidence .
Yes , sir .
The officers roughly grabbed Ariana by the arms and escorted her to the womens holding cell .
Every time they restrained her injured arm , the pain was excruciating .
Ariana suspected Brian had given specific instructions to ensure her suffering .
She was thrown into the cell for the most dangerous female offenders , women who were awaiting trial for heinous crimes , many facing life sentences or death .
Clearly , this wasnt where she belonged .
Ariana knew this treatment was unjust , but for now , she had no choice but to endure it .
A middle aged woman inside the cell noticed Arianas arrival and sauntered over .
