'Interrogation?!'
Anna's already paled face now turned green, "What?! But I didn't tell the sergeant anything at all, why would they interrogate her? Aunt! Please help me stop the interrogation, She might..."
Anna could not complete the sentence, 'She might post my mothers' photos online' as she remarked Shane was accompanying them in the room as well.
Anna had no idea how much Shane knew about her mother and Godfather. So, she became silent and searched for a method to confront.
Shane questioned, "She might what?"
Anna blurted a few words out, "She was blackmailing me with some photos. I don't know how to explain it to you."
Luyisa held the little conversation, "Hey, hey! Anna, Watch what you are saying! Your words are totally misleading, and this kiddo will interpret only the wrong phase of the sentence."
With a face turned sullen, Shane reported, "We already knew that you have been blackmailed with some photos by Lulu. Also..."
Shane retrieved his phone from his coat pocket as he emphasized the last sentence in scorn, "I want you to watch this video."
It was a new video tagged along with Anna's previous scandal videos. When Shane pressed the 'play' button. A man's face popped up which made Anna shudder in shock, "Jacob!"
'He posted a video but why? When I called him, I only asked him to tell my circumstances to Aunt not to post a video. This will only trigger the subsided smoke once again, What is he thinking?'
Anna who continued to complain in her head was shocked when she listened to his subsequent statements.
"Hello, Viewers!
I am the person who was involved in Anna's scandal. I hereby to clarify things to the public, I have been hired by the CEO of the BMF corporation to tarnish Anna's reputation and sabotage Anna's marriage life, so that... so that Mr. Jacob Shaw can marry her in the prospect.
Today, I feel guilty for the good-natured girl like Anna to go through a hell of life because of me. She was locked in the attic of the Symonds residence and was blackmailed with some forged photos to follow her stepmother orders.
I also want to say that I was the person in guilt for making the forged photos and none of those photos are genuine. I humbly request the police department to help Anna to get out of the mansion.
On a final note, I want to say this to Anna, I AM SORRY!"
As the video ended, Anna clung to the phone and spoke hastily, "That does not make any sense, It can't be true. How come he can forge those photos, he doesn't even know what that photo was. He is lying, he can't forge those photos."
Shane demanded, "Anna! What are you saying? The policemen have already found the evidence and confirmed that indeed you have been locked in Symonds residence's attic, are you going to deny it too?
Can't you see, he even knew details about where you have been locked. How could he knew it in the first place?"
Anna slump back to the pillow stunned, 'Oh no! Didn't Jacob inform my aunt about what I said to him? You stupid pig, Why did you needlessly took all the blames on your head. You idiot, What have you done to yourself?"
Shane panicked when he saw Anna fall back on the pillow, he kept calling Anna by name but she was totally out of focus to hear his voice.
Luyisa who stood on the sideline sprang up to run to Anna's side and rubbed Anna's forehead, "Anna, look at me! Here, look at your aunt. Shane, why are you standing there gaping, call the doctor she might have another panic attack."
As Luyisa directed Shane, Anna caught her aunt's hands which was now caressing her cheeks. "Aunt! Believe me, he was lying. That man was lying."
Earlier Shane thought Anna had a panic attack because of trusting an unworthy person but now when Anna continued to side with Jacob who himself said that he was assigned to tarnish Anna's reputation and sabotage their marital life, He felt his blood boil. As well as he was stunned by her stubbornness to believe.
Luyisa held Anna's hand and repeated just as Shane, "But that was the truth! It was true that BMF Corporation lately bought so many shares from Torizo Corporation during the downhill of the company, and he also transferred the shares of Symonds Corporation to Edward Symonds. I believe that answer all our questions."
Anna still muttered, "It does not make any sense."
'I was the one who informed him that I was locked in the attic and I also informed him that Lulu was blackmailing me with some photos. None of the people here knew whose picture it was, It was the old picture of my mother and godfather, how could he forge it.'
