Aveline answered the officer, then gestured for Helena to clear away the bowl and spoon.

The female officer asked, “You’re reporting an attempted murder against you?”

Aveline nodded. “Yes. It was this person, Eileen.”

As she spoke, she pointed her finger at Eileen.

Eileen’s face instantly turned pale, and she stared at Aveline in terror, “You…”

Josephine also cried out in shock, “Sister, what do you mean? Why did you call the police and say our cousin tried to murder you?

You fell on your own, it had nothing to do with our cousin.”

Then she walked quickly toward Xavier, “Darling, you were there too. You saw that my sister lost her footing and fell on her own. It had nothing to do with our cousin, right?”

Xavier didn’t answer Josephine, his deep, dark eyes fixed on Aveline.

A mocking smile touched Aveline’s lips, “Mr. Beltran’s hotel should have security cameras, right?

We just need to pull up the footage to see what really happened.”

“It doesn’t matter if there are no witnesses. The video is proof, and it can’t be faked.

As long as the camera didn’t mysteriously break, or the footage wasn’t deleted.”

Eileen shuddered, then she headed for the door.

Aveline said coldly, “Eileen, where are you going?”

The male police officer stopped Eileen, “Don’t leave just yet. Wait until we’ve taken your statement and investigated. Then we’ll decide if you can go.”

Eileen cried out, “She’s framing me! I didn’t trip her. She fell on her own! She has a grudge against me.‘

Aveline said coolly, “Oh? What kind of grudge would I have against you?”

Eileen was speechless. She hurried back to Josephine’s side, “Josie, you have to help me, save me, or else…”

Josephine quickly shot her a look, as if warning Eileen not to say another word.

Eileen pressed her lips together and said no more, but she kept staring at Josephine.

The female police officer said, “Alright, let’s begin. I’ll take the accuser’s statement here. The accused will go to an- other room with my colleague.”

Eileen was terrified and nudged Josephine.

Josephine frowned at her, then cried out to Xavier, “Darling, help me! Darling, please talk to my sister, she’ll definite- ly listen to you! Darling, Xav…”

Josephine’s tone was full of pleading, and she even grabbed Xavier’s arm and started shaking it.

Just then, Rupert’s voice came from the doorway, “What’s going on?”

He had already walked into the hospital room, followed by Lauren.

Rupert scanned the room, looking at everyone, before his gaze settled on Xavier and Josephine.

More precisely, he was staring at Josephine’s hand grabbing Xavier’s arm.

Lauren said in surprise, “Why are there police here?”

Aveline kept a cold expression and said nothing, waiting to see what Xavier would say.

Seeing her silence, Xavier smiled faintly, removed Josephine’s hand from his arm, and said calmly:

“Aveline reported her cousin for causing her to fall, for attempted murder.”

Lauren exclaimed, “What?

Aveline, are you crazy? That’s your cousin.”

Aveline said coldly, “So a cousin can try to murder her cousin and not face legal consequences?”

Lauren was at a loss for words.

Seeing Lauren speaking up for her, Eileen quickly shouted, “You’re framing me.”

Aveline’s expression was cold, “The police will find out if I’m framing you or not.”

The female officer said, “Alright, that’s enough arguing. A report has been filed and we’ve accepted the case, so let’s follow procedure. We’ll start with the statements.”

Just then, Fiona walked in with a stern expression on her face.

But she didn’t say a word, because she had already heard the gist of it from outside the door.

She walked over to Aveline and said to the policewoman, “I’m the victim’s lawyer.”

Aveline gratefully held Fiona’s hand, nodded to the policewoman, “Yes, she’s my lawyer. I want to charge Eileen with attempted murder.”

Eileen’s face turned even paler, as white as a sheet, realizing how serious the situation was. She yelled to Josephine:

“Josic!”

So, Josephine pleaded with Xavier, “Darling, Xav, I’m begging you, please help my paternal cousin.”

Xavier’s expression was inscrutable, his dark eyes unreadable. He glanced at Josephine, then looked over at Aveline.

Seeing the resolute look on Aveline’s face, he said flatly, “What Eileen needs is a lawyer.”

That jogged Josephine’s memory, and she quickly said, “Then let’s get Gerald to help her.

Darling, please, contact Gerald for me and tell him to get over here right away.”
