A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 830 Probing

She looked at Marcel subconsciously, and Marcel squinted his eyes, there was a stopping look in them, Rae knew that he was trying to tell her not to speak, and she kept quiet. She didn't know why, but Rae just knew what he meant.

But Easton didn't understand the message that was going on between Rae and Marcel, but he also didn't ask.

"Sorry, Alondra, your behavior is in the way of us doing our work, you delayed it, so now we need to take you back to the station!"

Then, Marcel looked at Easton.

Easton was stunned, what was happening, they took her just like that?

Where was the command coming from?

She was such a little girl, was this even appropriate?

But, Easton still took the handcuffs and put them on Alondra's wrists.

This time, their supervisor Braeden suddenly said, "Stop!"

Suddenly everyone was looking at him.

They just saw how Braeden said calmly, "Mister Officer, as far as I know, you need a warrant to take someone right?"

Marcel smiled, "This is very urgent, we will get it when we are back at the station, special circumstances require special measures!"

Braeden didn't show any expression, "Have you thought about the student that you are taking away, even if it was a false alarm and you let her go, what is the university going to think of her being taken, have you thought about that?"

"Mr. Walls is right, so why don't you come along!" Marcel didn't look away from Braeden, he was observing him.

Braeden didn't show any fear at all, he was comforting Alondra softly, "Okay then, let me come along! Alondra, you don't need to be afraid!"

Alondra looked at him begging, "Mr. Walls..."

"Don't be afraid!" Braeden comforted her again.

Shayla and Piper were all surprised, why was Alondra in the way of the police work, but the two of them were okay?

"Easton, Rae, take them to the station in two separate cars!" Marcel told Rae.

"Yes!" Rae immediately understood what he meant, to prevent them from exchanging stories.

Only she didn't know why Marcel suddenly wanted to take Braeden and Alondra?

Alondra was really afraid when she was taken away by Easton, she turned to look at Braeden.

Braeden shook his head, and Alondra kept quiet then and followed in silence.

Rae took Braeden downstairs and they got another car, then she turned him over to one of her colleagues.

Marcel didn't leave, when Rae and Easton came back, Marcel was looking at the other two girls, they didn't speak, but they could see that the two girls were afraid.

When Rae was back, Marcel finally said, "Rae, take Piper outside!"

"Yes!" Rae took Piper and left the dorms.

When Piper was leaving, she looked at Shayla, and Shayla pressed her lips together, her eyes were looking down and her lashes trembling.

They waited until Gustavo was gone, and Marcel said to Shayla, "Shayla, tell me everything you know!"

Shayla was stunned, she was a little anxious, and denied everything, "Officer, I don't know anything!"

"Really??!" Marcel looked at her, his voice showed nothing, "You should know that you cannot hide anything, if you don't tell me, there are other ways for us to find out."

"I told you everything I know!" Shayla stuttered, but what she said was not what Marcel wanted to hear.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything, we will ask Piper, she is smarter than you!" Marcel said calmly.

Shayla pressed her lips, Marcel had hit the nail on the head.

She thought about it but then shook her head again.

Marcel laughed, "Even if you don't tell us, I know that it was because of that person blackmailing you! You are not trying to keep anything from us, you are just afraid!"

Shayla stared dumbfounded.

"Braeden!" Marcel yelled out.

Shayla widened her eyes to the limits, she was surprised, then she denied, "What does this have to do with Mr. Walls? Mr. Walls didn't blackmail me! You don't know anything, how can you blame an innocent person?"

"Did I say anything about Mr. Walls?" Marcel raised his brows and asked her in return, he looked at her in all calmness, Marcel was able to have a grip on the matter.

...

Something was wrong with Braeden!

These girls in the dorm all protected him.

They all did it willingly, it was not forced at all.

This looked like the matter was very fishy!

Shayla pressed her lips, her eyes were strongly determined.

Marcel looked at her coldly, it looked like Shayla was planning to keep quiet.

"Melody is not really well liked!" Marcel sighed, she died, and none of her dormmates was willing to help the police.

Shayla didn't speak, she agreed with her silence.

Marcel turned and walked outside, Easton was behind him, and Marcel told him in a low voice, "Arrange for someone to keep an eye on her!"

"Yes!"

Marcel saw Rae and Piper standing on the other end of the corridor, when Piper saw Marcel come out, she was extremely cautious.

Marcel went over, and raised his brows, then said, "Rae, we can go! Shayla admitted it all!"

When Piper heard that Shayla told them everything, she was surprised, her face changed, and she subconsciously asked, "What did she say? What was it?"

Marcel curled up his lips, his eyes were flashing, "Piper, she said everything that you also know!"

"That is impossible!" Piper was a little excited.

This was exactly what Marcel wanted.

He was looking at Piper, as she was acting too excited, "This is not possible, Officer, you are lying!"

She was just a twenty years old college student, she had not seen the world and not went through anything, just a few words made her so anxious.

Rae looked at Piper's reaction, then she looked back at Marcel, his lips were curled into a smile, it looked so evil.

It was so shallow, but it showed a hunter who was about to get his prey, it seemed as if they didn't get everything yet, otherwise, why would he say it like that?

Rae only acted along with Marcel, "Sir, let's go, Shayla’s statement alone is enough! I will call someone to take Piper back!"

Marcel heard what Rae said and looked at her, he saw the way she was looking at him, calm and smart, she knew what he was trying to do, Marcel was surprised, but he didn't show any expression.

"Hm, where is the handcuff?" Marcel asked.

"Here!" Rae was about to take out her handcuffs, but of course, it was just pretending.

"Who are you to take me?" Piper said excitedly, "I have done nothing, why are you cuffing me?"

"Piper, being in the way of our work is reason enough!" Rae said strictly, "For us, there is no difference anymore if you talk to us or not!"

Rae didn't even finish speaking when Piper suddenly let out anger, "No, I will tell you alright?"

Marcel and Rae exchanged looks.

"Not here, let us go to a different place, okay?" Piper begged in a lowered voice, "I will tell you everything I know!"

"There is no need!" Marcel said coldly.

"Miss, please help me out, it was so hard for me to get into college, I cannot be expelled!" Piper was most worried about that!

Rae looked over to Marcel, who showed a cold face, but his eyes were saying that he was about to get what he was hunting for.

Rae said in a low voice, "Sir, give her a chance, she was just confused at that moment!"

Marcel ignored her, he turned around to leave.

Rae pulled Piper and followed him, but she didn't cuff her.

Marcel went downstairs and got Piper into the car, Rae already prepared a voice recorder just like Marcel asked of her, they were going to record in the car, and of course, this was all without Piper knowing.

Piper was sitting in the car with her head hanging and she looked very upset.

"Talk!" Rae looked at her and pushed her.

Marcel kept quiet, his eyes were squinted as he looked at Piper.

"Actually we didn't talk because we all really like Mr. Walls, Melody likes him too, she was always around him, but Mr. Walls didn't like her..."

Piper paused when she said that.

Marcel squinted his eyes, even more, they looked darker than usual, "Melody seduced Mr. Walls, then she got pregnant and we all knew that. She was killed, and we were all afraid that Mr. Walls would be blamed so we didn't say anything!"

Rae's eyes lit up, this was not what she expected, all these girls liked Braeden, no wonder, a man like him could get a girl's attention easily, just like Marcel.

Marcel showed a smile of deep meaning, he looked at her, as if he was trying to look through her heart.

Then she slowly said, "Who did you think the child was from?"

"Mr. Walls'!" Piper said, "That's what she said, she was pregnant from Mr. Walls!"

"When did she tell you?"

"It was half a month ago, there was a test result, Alondra went to the doctor with her!"

They let Piper go, and Rae turned the voice recorder off, she looked up at Marcel who was in deep thoughts.

The light from outside of the car was shining in, that light was shining at the sharp lines of his handsome face, his handsome aura, his lips were slightly pressed, his brows frowning, he was deep in his thoughts.

Rae was wondering as well, she asked in a light voice, "Sir, I think Piper didn't tell us everything!"

Marcel raised his brows when he heard that, and looked at Rae, "Why?"

Rae thought for a while, then said, "I feel she is keeping something from us. Would Melody tell all her dorm mates about her pregnancy? It was not something to be proud of to get pregnant before marriage, this was about her reputation, how could she tell everyone in the dorm? And Braeden, when he came in, everyone was looking at him and acted under his instruction by his eyes, it was very odd."

"If you were Melody, and you got pregnant while in school, what would you do?" Marcel raised up his chin a little and looked at Rae, waiting for her to answer.

Rae felt a little uncomfortable.

Rae wasn't sure how to answer this question.

"You don't have to answer!" Marcel said calmly, "I was just trying to understand from a girl's view of what a girl would think! If you do mind, you don't have to tell me."

When Rae heard what Marcel said, she suddenly felt that she was narrow-minded, how could she feel that he was trying to find out what she was thinking?

But then she also felt that it might not be like that, and immediately explained, "No, I don't mind, if this will help the case, I can answer any of your questions, if it was me, I wouldn't tell anyone about it!"

"Would you move in with your boyfriend before marriage?" Marcel turned to her and asked in a very low voice, it was kept soft, as if he was trying to ask about the case, but at the same time asking about her personal life, at that moment, Rae couldn't guess what he was doing.

Rae just felt awkward, but she didn't show anything, she just said in a light voice, "It depends!"

If it was a person she loved deeply, she wouldn't mind moving in before getting married, but if it wasn't someone she loved, and she couldn't imagine their future, she would not just give herself away!

"Oh?" Marcel raised his brows and waited for the following words as if he was trying to see through her with these eyes.

Rae raised her head and looked into his eyes.

Marcel raised his brows, his face looked as if he was smiling coldly

Rae also smiled, then looked down and said, "If our feelings are true, why not, but if I didn't love that person, I would never!"

When Marcel heard the answer from Rae, he knitted his brows, his black eyes suddenly turned cold, as if there was some killing intent. It was just for a split of a second, and Rae looked up again, it was gone.

"Do you believe in love?" Marcel asked coldly.

His suddenly cold voice made Rae think that he remembered an early girlfriend, even though she didn't know why they broke up, but she could see that he was sad and lost, she didn't mind, she just kept on looking into his eyes, when she spoke again, her voice was clear, "I believe in love, at any time, love is the most beautiful fairy tale, maybe I will never encounter it, but I believe that it exists, the best kind of love is the one where loyalty never swerves, to only love one person in a lifetime."

Marcel squinted his eyes as he looked at her, he had seen a lot of women who believed in love blindly, but this girl in front of him, he could see longing and faith in her eyes, but also mourning, as if she lost all hope.

Why would she be mourning?

Why would she be hopeless?

Did she love someone?

He shouldn't care who she loved, what did that have to do with him?

Marcel leaned back in his seat, this movement was so smooth that it was really seductive.

He looked at her, that look gave her some kind of strong pressure, she saw how he curled up his lips and laughed, "You can love only one person in your life? What if that person hurt you, would you still love him?"

Rae raised her brows, then said, "I can! I might leave him, but I will still love him! Nothing would ever change my love!"

Marcel humphed, "You are blind."

"Love is blind!" Rae answered him.

Marcel kept quiet as he looked at her for a long time, "Have you ever loved?"

Rae was stunned, her face blushed, fortunately, it was evening, and he couldn't see the color on her face, then she changed the topic, "Sir, shouldn't we get back to the station?"
