She kept walking to the elevator while answering the phone.
"Hey, Stanley." Violet glanced at the caller ID before putting the phone to her ear.
Stanley's low voice came to her ears, "Do you know about Phoebe jumping off the building?"
"Yeah, I'm going to the scene now." Violet pressed the elevator button.
Stanley frowned slightly, "Why are you going to the scene?"
"Because I suspect that Phoebe was not the dead."
With that said, she walked into the elevator, and then told him several points that she suspected.
After hearing it, Stanley got up from his office chair, "Then I will go with you."
"Okay, I'll wait for you there. Call me when you get there." Violet nodded.
Stanley gave a hmm, hung up the phone, opened the drawer, took out the car key from inside, and strode towards the office door.
About an hour later, Violet came to the scene.
But she was one step late. The body at the scene had been taken away. Only a small number of police people remained here to investigate the case.
Violet didn't walk over. She stood outside the warning zone and watched it from a distance, for a while to see where the corpse fell, and for a while to look up at the window of Phoebe's room. Her face was full of contemplation.
One policeman noticed her and walked towards her, "This lady, we are working on a case here. If nothing else, please leave."
Violet smiled politely at the police officer in front of her. When she was about to ask something, a crazy figure ran over from not far away.
It was Talia!
Talia was like a mad woman at the moment. Her hair and clothes were messy and also stained with a lot of dust. Her eyes were red. She had obviously cried for a long time.
She stared at Violet with hatred, "What are you doing here?"
"You guys know each other?" The police officer looked at Talia and then at Violet.
Violet nodded, "Yes, she is my Dad’s second wife."
"Well." The police officer said and recognized Violet.
‘Isn’t she the very popular fashion designer during this time?’
Talia pointed to Violet and roared, "Police officer, it is her. She killed my daughter!"
Violet frowned, "I killed your daughter?"
"Mrs. Hunt, you can't talk nonsense like this!" The police officer looked at Talia with a serious face.
Talia clenched her fists, her eyes full of resentment, "I didn't talk nonsense. It is because of her that my daughter was raped. Then my daughter couldn't stand it and jumped off the building. All of this was caused by her. What are you guys doing? Get her up soon!"
Seeing that the police officer didn’t move, Talia started pushing him.
The police officer’s uniforms were all messed up.
He held on to the police cap and shouted angrily, "Enough, I will sue you for assaulting the police if you’re still like this!"
Talia was stunned by the roar. It took a long time to react. Then she slapped her thighs and cried, "Unfair! Unfair! The murderer is in front of the police officer, but he didn't catch her..."
Looking at Talia who was making trouble without reason, Violet felt extremely speechless.
The police officer was also shocked by Talia’s logic. He straightened the cap on his head and said impatiently, "Well, go away quickly. I still have questions to ask Miss Hunt."
"I won't leave. My daughter was killed by her. I must ask her to pay price!" Talia answered with a distorted face, and then she was about to punch Violet, rolling up her sleeves.
Upon seeing this, the police officer wanted to stop her.
But Talia, who was so furious, was very strong at this moment. She directly pushed the police officer away and rushed towards Violet.
Violet was shocked. For a moment, she forgot to dodge.
At this moment, a strong arm stretched out, took her shoulders, led her to turn around, and walked aside.
Talia rushed into the air. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. There was only painful look on her face at this moment. She was obviously hurt.
The police officer looked at her miserable situation, saying that she deserved it inwardly. But he still went forward and helped her up. After all, wearing this police uniform, he had to do so.
On the other side, Stanley let go of Violet's shoulders and looked at her up and down, "Are you okay?"
Hearing the nervousness and concern in his tone, Violet replied with a smile, "I'm fine. Fortunately, you came in time."
"As long as you're okay." Stanley's tight face eased. Immediately, he narrowed his eyes, and coldly swept towards Talia.
Talia shrank her neck subconsciously, avoiding his sight with some fear.
Seeing her so embarrassing, Violet laughed sarcastically, and held Stanley's arm, "Well, Stanley, leave her alone. Let's get down to the business."
Stanley raised his chin slightly, and took his gaze back from Talia.
After Talia felt the pressure disappeared, she felt relieved. Then she heard Violet say, "Police officer, in fact, I came here because I suspected that Phoebe didn’t commit suicide!"
