"Miss Laura Kiels, let me ask you one more time. Now, be frank with us, Miss Laura Kiels. Is your answer still the same as your last answer?" the investigator asked.
Laura’s hands were clenched tightly in her lap. She’s trying very hard to maintain her composure before answering. "I never asked my manager, Robert, to do that."
The investigator slightly nodded, looking at her, but kept his calm and poker eyes. Before he could ask another question, Laura suddenly spoke again.
"Officer, Sir, I’m sorry, but did you ask me to come here only to repeat the same questions? It makes me want to vomit. It’s nauseated me, sir." Laura Kiels asked.
She took a deep breath before continuing. "And, I think I’ve already answered them all. Right, sir?" her voice sounded gentle. Still, her eyes betrayed her annoyance with this second round of questions.
"Miss Laura Kiels, don’t worry; we won’t ask you the same questions today," another investigator said calmly and politely while ignoring Laura’s complaint. He smiled at Laura before he continued, "My colleague here just wanted to double-check your previous statement. You know, to remove any unnecessary doubt."
Laura turned to see the man next to the young investigator who had questioned her earlier. His mature and calmer demeanor indicated that he was the boss.
"Sir, you said something new?"
"Yes, Miss Laura."
"Well, you can ask me. I will answer right away. There is no need to prolong this. I’m a busy person—" Laura said, unable to hold her annoyance with their slow procedure.
The senior investigator didn’t bother answering Laura but shifted his gaze to his colleague beside him and gave a slight nod.
"You can do it now," he said before turning his gaze again at Laura.
"Yes, sir!" the younger investigator answered. He immediately opened his laptop.
After typing something on the keyboard, he turned to Laura Kiels and her lawyer before saying, "Miss Laura, earlier, you denied any involvement in all the questions we asked you, right?"
Laura only nodded, feeling too lazy to answer him.
"Miss Laura, we have a recording of your voice. The recording has been verified by the expert and computer, and they found it matches 100 percent with your actual voice. And the recording is related to our case. Now, how do you explain this voice recording?" The young investigator asked.
Instantly, the lawyer sitting calmly beside Laura flinched, his expression slowly changing as he asked, "What voice recording?" Worry flashed through his gaze as he looked sharply at the investigator before him.
But the investigators ignored him. One pressed the play button, and the voices of a woman and a man came from the laptop speakers, enough to startle Laura and her lawyer.
"Listen, Robert, I want you to pay a buzzer out there and teach Stellar Entertainment a lesson! How dare they do this to me?"
"Laura, are you sure? This is very dangerous, you know."
"Yes, I know! That’s why you should find the best one and make sure no one can trace you back."
"This—"
"What are you afraid of? Just do it, alright? Make sure you make that stupid company suffer. I don’t want to fall alone to hell; they must come with me, too!"
