Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 106

Wiping the smile off his lace, Officer Sanders lipped through the les in front of him.

“It’s like this.” he cleared his throat and began. “We are Investigating the reason behre Trads suicide. We know that you are his wife, and we are quite aware of the situation between you two, so you don’t have to explain lac much. However, since you would know him better than anybody else. I wanted to ask it Travis ever mentioned having any suicidal thoughts to you. Did he complain about anything to you? Did you notice any changes in his mood?”

“I’m sorry.” Larissa couldn’t answer any of his questions. We have been separated for quite some time now. I only saw him once when he had an accident and was admitted to the hospital. There has been no contact between us since.”

“I see.” Officer Sanders raised an eyebrow and made a note of it. “His family believes that the content of your livestreams provoked him and drove him to take his own life, Do you have anything to say about that? He lifted his head and stared at Larissa with a steely gaze.

This was the first time Larissa had been interrogated by the police as a suspect. She couldn’t help feeling nervous

Licking her dry lips, she opened her mouth to defend herself when Dylan cut in. “First cl al, Travis had been staying at the victory General Hospital at this while. Less than five channels are available on television in their wards. This could only mean that he didn’t have any means to access Larissa’s livestreams. Thus, it’s impossible for him to be provoked by her content. Secondly, someone might have been talking about it which allowed Travis to overhear it, but that has nothing to do with Larissa, Thirdly, even if he did watch Larissa’s Ivestreams and subsequently committed suicide Larissa’s actions would not constitule a crime. Her intention in doing that livestream was to clarily facts and not to provoke him to kill himself. If you insist on her being gully because of this, Travis‘ parents would be the

real culprits, Larissa wouldn’t have done that livestream they didn’t appear on that episode of The Mediators Room.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Larissa had not introduced Dylan to Officer Sanders narier, so he assumed Oylan was just a regular friend accompanying her.

Surprised by Dylan’s meticulous analysis, Office Sanders couldn’t help but view him in a new light.

“Who is this?” he asked Larissa.

Oyian introduced himself. I’m Dylan Shields, and I am Ms. Seymour’s legal representative”

“Oh,” Officer Sanders responded with a smile. “It’s no wonder.”

“Since it has been determined that Travis‘ death was a suicide and Ms. Seymour has nothing to do with it, can we stop coming to the police station in the future? Dylan asked.

“Unless there are any new updates to the case, we won’t bother you anymore. However, Travis‘ family probably won’t give up.” Officer Sanders lett a migraine coming on whenever the topic was brought up. “Actually, I’m more inclined to believe that they drove Travis to his death. If I had family members who were such lunatics, Id probably end up committing suicide too.”

Dylan chuckled. “Who knows, maybe you hit the nai, on the head.”

Oncer Sanders said with a wry smile. “Well I advise you to spend some money and get rid of them. Of course, I’m just giving you a suggestion. Il you don’t mind them showing up at your doorstep every day and causing trouble, then forget I said anything.”

“In this matter, we definitely won’t back down. Otherwise, they’ll think Larissa is gully and will hound her for the rest of her life.” Dylan replied firmly. “By the way, you police officers shouldn’t always try to

smooth things over. It’s pointless. If they resort la extreme actions. we will report it to the police. At that point, we hope you will handle it impartially instesc of asking us to settle it privately.”

Officer Sanders seemed a little embarrassed by Dylan’s sarcastic remarks.

“I’m just trying to help you. If you don’t want to take my advice, then forget it,” he crumbled.

Alter leaving the police station, Larissa asked Dylan, ‘Don’t you think you were too harsh on Officer Sanders?”
