No Strings Attached

Chapter 33

Clara rushed to the police station to find Sasha sitting in the interrogation room with handcuffs around her wrists. Despite the situation, Sasha’s expression was cool and collected as she spoke to the officer across from her, vigorously defending herself without a hint of fear.

Clara strode over and asked politely, “Hello, officer. I’m her friend. What’s going on here?”

Before the officer could respond, Sasha interjected, “After you vanished yesterday, Anders went to get his dad to help you out, leaving me all by myself. I figured you must’ve gone to confront that jerk, feeling upset and heading to a bar to drown your sorrows.”

“By chance, I saw Heidi there too, gloating and gossiping about Mr. Casey. You should’ve seen the smug look on her face. I couldn’t hold back and I gave her a piece of my mind. I only threw some words her way, but this morning, they dragged me here, claiming Heidi’s car got smashed and suspecting I’m to blame. No matter how much I explained, they just wouldn’t listen.”

At the mention of Heidi, Clara clenched her fists tightly. She didn’t need to guess. This was typical of Heidi’s tactics, the same kind she had used against Clara.

Clara’s eyes, which should have been beautiful, turned icy in an instant. Her voice lost all the warmth it had when she first arrived. “Do you have any evidence that my friend did

this?”

“We found one of your friend’s earrings by Heidi’s car, matching the one she’s wearing. There’s also a witness, that woman over there. She claims she saw Sasha smashing the

car with her own eyes.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Clara’s gaze shot towards the woman. With just a glance, Clara felt her whole body freeze. The woman’s face had aged, but Clara recognized her instantly. A cold sweat broke out on Clara’s back as she clenched her fists tighter. Her eyes darkened as she glared at the

woman.

Sasha, sensing something was off, grabbed Clara’s hand and asked, “Clara, do you know her?”

Snapped out of her shock, Clara shook her head with a quivering voice, “No, I don’t.”

“That’s a relief. I won’t let Hejdi get away with this. It wasn’t enough for her to bully you, now she dares to mess with me? I’ll see to it that she’s ruined. And that woman, I’ll sue

her too.”

Just as Sasha finished speaking, Heidi’s voice could be heard from outside. “Ian, I honestly didn’t know Ms. Sasha was Ms. Clara’s friend. If I had known, none of this would’ve happened. It’s just a car worth a bit over a million, no big deal. I’ll just have

daddy buy me another one. Let’s not make Ms. Clara feel uncomfortable. Let’s just drop the whole thing, I withdraw my complaint.”

Clara turned to see lan approaching, dressed head to toe in somber black, his expression as chilly as the grave. Heidi was at his side, clutching at his sleeve.

Seeing this scene again, Clara thought she’d feel the heartache of the past, but now, she felt nothing at all.

Clara’s face remained impassive as they walked over. Sasha, on the other hand, was livid, glaring at lan and cursing, “You bastard! You cheated on my friend. Damn you! I hope your dick will never get hard!”

lan’s eyes scanned Clara, as if searching for some sign of the emotion he desired, but even after a long while, he saw nothing of the sort.

Suddenly feeling a tightness in his chest, he leaned over and whispered into Clara’s ear. “Why don’t you tell her if my dick is hard or not?”
