Chapter 651
Sophie was straight to the point. "I believe the Chief should be aware of my purpose here. No need for further ado. Take me to Reece now."
"Of course, everything has been prepared for you. Right this way, please!"
An officer escorted Sophie to the interrogation room.
Reece had lost count of the days he had been detained. His face was covered with stubble, and he looked haggard.
Upon seeing Sophie enter, Reece almost rushed to her but was stopped by the guard at the door.
"Ms. Sophie, you may have your conversation here. We'll be outside guarding. If you need anything, just call for me."
"No thank you," Sophie said coolly. "I'm here to take someone with me today."
"That... That's beyond our authority."
The officers were visibly troubled, but Sophie glanced at them coldly and said, "Reece is a talent under S Corporation. S Corporation's lawyers have been negotiating with you for a long time. We agreed to compensate for the alleged assault. Besides, you've been questioning him for days. Have you found nothing?"
"I didn't hit anyone!" Reece shouted.
Hearing this, Sophie's gaze turned even colder. "If he didn't hit anyone, on what grounds do you keep him detained?"
"The main issue is that the evidence is inconclusive. Plus... plus the alleged victim refuses to settle."
"Oh? And who might the alleged victim be? I'm quite curious to see who is framing a talent from S Corporation!"
Sophie's presence was formidable, causing the officers to sweat profusely. They finally understood why Officer Derick had avoided coming in person!
Who would dare to mess with Colby's woman?
"Let's do this. Please bring the alleged victim here. I'll speak to them personally. If they agree to drop the charges, you can release him, right?"
"That's..."
The officers still looked uneasy.
When Reece was brought in, Officer Derick had already instructed them to clarify the situation, but the victim had remained adamant, refusing to budge. Even now, what would Sophie change even if they brought them here?
At best, it would just lead to a demand for a hefty settlement.
"What? You can't do this either? Officer Derick should have

person to deal with. I'm giving you a way out here. If you don't take it, I'll just take Reece and leave." S
With her status, no one here dared to stop her.
The officer quickly gestured with his hands. "Not at all, not at all. I'll go bring the victim here right away!"
"Good, I'll wait here then."
"No problem, I'll personally make sure they come here!"
Sophie sat down on a chair in the interrogation room and said, "But I'm on a tight schedule. If they don't arrive in half an hour, I'm taking Reece and leaving."
The officer hastened out, instructing the guard to keep an eye on the interrogation room door before leaving.
Once sure they were alone, Sophie asked, "What exactly happened?"
"I heard there was trouble with you

on the island so I canceled all my appointments for the day. But just as I was leaving the studio, someone bumped into me. Then she fell to the ground, crying and accusing me of hitting her. A crowd gathered, egging her on, and before I knew it, someone had called the police, and they arrived in no time."
