I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 592 I’m Used to Such Disadvantages

Meanwhile, at the police station, Jessamine, the original witness against Jimmy, had changed her testimonials and

pushed all the blame on Crossley Group.

It was a major case, so the police also contacted Leanna to come over and aid in the investigation.

When Leanna arrived, Jessamine was sitting on the couch. She held a paper cup with both hands, a look of

nervousness and fear evident in her eyes.

Anyone who saw that would think that Leanna had threatened her.

When Leanna noticed that, she simply smiled. "We meet again, Miss Barnes."

Jessamine said uneasily, "Miss McKinney, I… I failed to complete what you told me to do… I'm so sorry. The blame is

fully on me. Don't involve my family in this…"

The reporters hadn't left since that interview, so they didn't hesitate to record their entire conversation.

Leanna said, "Why don't you clarify what it was that I told you to do?"

"I…" Jessamine bit her lip. "I know that I'm in the wrong regarding this incident, but a girl's innocence and

reputation are at stake. I didn't know that you would get so many media outlets and reporters just to strengthen the

public's opinion, Miss McKinney. If I really did as you told me to, my life would be ruined."

When Jessamine put it like that, she had spun the entire incident as such:

She had initially followed Leanna's instructions by going to the police station to accuse Jimmy. Still, unexpectedly,

without informing her, Leanna got the reporters here and tried to make it a big deal so that Jimmy would have

nowhere to run. Leanna didn't care how this incident would affect Jessamine, so in order to salvage her reputation

and protect her rights, Jessamine chose to speak the truth at the most crucial moment.

Leanna sat on the couch opposite Jessamine and drawled, "I truly didn't realize that you would be so good at

acting."

"Yes, I know that I am at fault for everything. Miss McKinney, I won't deny anything you hurl at me."

Leanna said, "Miss Barnes, we're at the police station. You have to take responsibility for your words."

Jessamine started, "I—"

Leanna took out her phone and said to the police, "I have a recording here. It's also my response to this entire

incident."

When Jessamine heard that, her expression shifted for a moment.

The audio file was a complete recording of the conversation between Leanna and Jessamine in the rented area.

It started with Jessamine making a fuss about reporting her being sexually harassed by Jimmy to the police. She

even said she would contact the reporters to make a huge fuss. Before she could do anything, Leanna interjected

and said she would help Jessamine by sending Jimmy to jail so that he would never make it out this lifetime.

After the playback ended, even the reporters at the side looked at Jessamine with doubt in their eyes.

Jessamine was stunned for a moment before stammering, "You purposefully wanted me to say those things that

night so that you could make use of it now…"

As she spoke, she looked toward the police. "No, it wasn't like that! She… She was the one who gave me the script

and insisted on me reading it. She edited this recording!"

Leanna kept away her phone and continued, "When I went to see her, Mr. Sutton was present as well. So, he can

testify for me that this recording wasn't edited at all."

A female reporter asked tentatively, "Are you referring to Mr. Freddie Sutton, the lawyer?"

Even though Freddie didn't look very capable, he was a bona fide ace lawyer and very famous in the legal world.

Jessamine suddenly stood up and shrieked, "Freddie is Crossley Group's legal advisor. You're all in cahoots! But, of

course, he would be on your side!"

The female reporter retorted, "Mr. Sutton definitely isn't that sort of person."

Soon, Freddie was requested to cooperate with the investigation as well.

When he looked at the situation, he clicked his tongue and produced a recording of his own.

It recorded their conversation with Kevin in the rented place, including the phone call Kevin made to Jimmy.

When the playback ended, Jessamine was about to say something when the female reporter spoke up, unable to

bear it anymore. "I mean, look, we have the evidence right here, so just stop trying to twist the truth. Do you think

we're all fools here?"

Jessamine's face turned pale as she parted her mouth, but she didn't bother trying to wriggle her way out of this

slippery situation.

The conclusion to this incident was clear.

After everyone left the police station, the female reporter said to Leanna, "I'm so sorry for misunderstanding you

before. Don't worry. I'll write another article to clear things up. Can I have a copy of the recording just now?"

"Of course."

After the female reporter copied the recording, she returned the phone to Leanna. Then, she passed the latter a

name card as well. "My name is Chloe Lambert, and I'm a reporter from Highside Daily. You can call me if

something happens."

Leanna reached out and took the name card before replying courteously, "Thank you."

"It's nothing. I'm just doing my job." Chloe carried her bag on her shoulders, then waved at Freddie. "Bye, Mr.

Sutton!"

Freddie watched her leave, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "Does she know me?"

Leanna recalled when Chloe spoke up for him just now and smiled. "Who knows? Maybe she's your fan."

Freddie ran his fingers through his hair and remarked arrogantly, "The truth has been spoken. Guitar players are

not the only ones to get fans; handsome people can get fans too."

Leanna was rendered speechless by his response.

As they walked away from the police station, Freddie asked, "I recorded the whole thing out of habit due to the

nature of my job, but how did you think of recording it?"

"Perhaps because I'm used to such disadvantages."

In truth, she had sensed that something was amiss about this incident from the very start, including Kevin and that

company.

That was why she didn't let her guard down and secretly recorded all her conversations with Jessamine. She never

thought that it would actually come in handy one day.

Freddie said, "Not bad. Before I went to the police station, I regretted not having reminded you to do so. I didn't

expect that you would have quite the foresight."

"When life gives you lemons…." Leanna paused in her tracks. "Right, you mentioned the group of people who

helped Raymond before. Have you found out anything about them?"

Freddie shook his head. "They're good at keeping a low profile, so I haven't found anything as of yet. However…"

"What is it?"

"Aidan has been investigating Jamesdon recently and even sent Oscar there. So, I'm guessing that those people

might hail from Jamesdon."

Leanna furrowed her brows in confusion. "Jamesdon?"

"Everything that happened recently is pointing toward Jamesdon. The chances are quite high."

Leanna said, "I feel that this incident might also be the work of those people. If they really are from Jamesdon, then

what are they after?"

Freddie shrugged. "I wouldn't know. I only heard from Jonathan that Aidan would go to Jamesdon soon. We'll know

when the time comes."

Just then, Richard walked briskly over to them. "Miss McKinney, Maya just called. The child started vomiting out of

the blue, and he's already en route to the hospital."

Leanna was struck dumb for a few seconds before she finally reacted and hastily got into the car.

When Freddie saw that, he followed suit.

Once they arrived at the hospital, Leanna found Maya pacing around at the entrance of the emergency room. She

tried her best to remain calm, but there was no hiding the tremble in her voice, "H-How is he?"

Maya shook her head. "I don't know… I didn't feed him anything. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but as

soon as he woke up from his nap, he started throwing up…"
