Chapter 562 Lisa Committed Murder Charlotte exclaimed in surprise. Before she could react, she found herself seated firmly at the dining table. Joe gazed into her eyes and softly said, “Your task now is to choose the breakfast you like.” Charlotte gave him a helpless look, realizing he had no intention of revealing the connection between her and Vincent. She refrained from pressing further. However, her breakfast was destined to be anything but smooth. As she picked up her spoon, Charlotte’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the police. Charlotte initially thought they were calling to inquire about the drug she had taken yesterday. But before she could explain, the police officer’s tone turned serious, “Miss Clinton, if it’s convenient for you, please come to the police station.” Curious, Charlotte inquired about the matter, yet the officer claimed it was difficult to discuss over the phone and requested her to visit the police station when possible. After some consideration, Charlotte agreed to go to the police station at ten o’clock. Joe frowned, “I have a shareholder meeting later. Shall I arrange for Mandy to accompany you?” Charlotte nodded slightly, relieved that Joe didn’t suggest postponing the shareholder meeting to accompany her. “Don’t worry, the police station is probably the safest place. Nothing will happen.” Joe’s gaze held a hint of apology as he looked at her. “I’m sorry. I’ll come to pick you up as soon as I can.” Though neither of them was usually sentimental, their words somehow conveyed a reluctant feeling. After getting herself ready, Charlotte saw Mandy, who had come to pick her up. After carefully confirming that Charlotte was right, Mandy let out a small sigh of relief. “Are you feeling okay?” Enter title… Thinking about the events of last night, a hint of embarrassment flickered across Charlotte’s face. After a slight cough, she nodded. “I’m fine, really.”
Seeing the healthy color in Charlotte’s complexion, Mandy’s worry eased. As the two arrived at the police station, the moment they met, Officer Carter shared a shockingly grave piece of news with Charlotte. “Lisa committed murder.” “What?” Charlotte looked at Officer Carter in disbelief. While Lisa had indeed been acting strangely before, she seemed delicate and weak. How could she… Officer Carter’s expression grew serious. “The victim is someone you should know, the person who organized the group outside the hotel to defame you.” In an instant, Charlotte recalled the woman who had thrown eggs at her, which left her even more astonished. “They…” It turned out that after the woman was released on bail and paid her fine, she grew increasingly resentful. She secretly tracked Durke and discovered Lisa was the true mastermind behind hiring her. Originally, she had only intended to threaten Lisa into returning the twenty thousand dollars to her. But Lisa had reached a point of desperation and couldn’t bear the debt. Determined to eliminate the woman, Lisa lured her to her rented apartment under the pretext of repaying the money and then drugged her heavily before killing her. What was even more horrifying was that after committing the murder, Lisa casually hid the body in the adjacent room and lived with the corpse for several days until coming to this event. Charlotte suddenly remembered the crazed expression on Lisa’s face when facing her, and a shiver of fear ran down her spine. In comparison, being injected with a small amount of drugs was a stroke of luck. Later, Officer Carter took Charlotte’s statement again. His brows furrowed even deeper when he learned that she had been injected with illegal substances. “This kind of drug… is prohibited in the country. How did she get her hands on it?”
