Katrina was about to speak when Robert, afraid she might say something reckless, quickly stepped forward to explain, "We know each other. She's our employer's wife. Earlier in the car-" "I'm asking her, not you." The officer shot Robert a warning look. Then, he turned to Katrina and spoke in a gentler tone, "It's okay. Just tell the truth. You don't have to worry about anything with us here." "We..." Katrina murmured.
"Mrs. Zachman!" Robert stared at her anxiously.
Katrina glanced at him before finishing her sentence, "We know each other." Robert finally breathed a sigh of relief at that.
But before he could fully relax, Katrina spoke up again, "They barged into my hwithout my permission. Then, they took my phone and tried to abductand restricted my freedom." "I have no idea where they were planning to take me. I had no choice and had to take a risk to save myself. I'm sorry for the trouble," she said apologetically, offering the officer a small smile.

Either way, she made the right bet. At the very least, she was out of immediate danger and no longer in a completely helpless situation.
The bodyguards immediately panicked. The traffic officers too becincreasingly wary after hearing Katrina's statement. Their gazes shifted toward the bodyguards, now filled with suspicion and caution.
Robert's expression was grim as he explained, "Mrs. Zachman, we were only following orders from Mr. Zachman to bring you back. We never meant to offend you, let alone abduct you..." "I never agreed to go with you! You draggedout of my own home!" Katrina snapped impatiently.
Robert was at a loss for words, momentarily unsure of what to say in response.
The officer immediately called the station when he realized the situation was more than just a traffic violation. Mark was sent the traffic department, while the others went to the police station for further questioning.
After the on-duty officer at the station gathered sinformation from Katrina, they had a female officer escort her to the break room.
After a long night, Katrina looked visibly exhausted. She was only wearing thin loungewear and a coat. While the heater was on in the station, the air still felt chilly.
She pulled the coat tighter around herself and sat down.
The female officer noticed how pale Katrina looked and poured her swarm water from the dispenser. She said while handing the cup to Katrina, "Here. Have swater." "Thank you." Katrina accepted it, holding the cup in her hands. The warmth helped chase away the cold and cleared her mind a little.

A wave of unease surged within Katrina. She had escalated the matter and ended up at the police station tonight. If news of this was leaked by someone with ulterior motives, Carlisle would never let her off easily.
As for the bodyguards, it wasn't her intention to make things difficult for them. But she had no idea why Carliste had gone to such lengths to have her brought in, which meant she had to be extra careful Robert and the rest would be fine as long as Carlisle was around. By morning, they would be bailed out with no real consequences.
Katrina, however, had to leave before Carlisle's arrival.
She made up her mind and looked at the female officer. "Excuse me. When will I be allowed to leave? And can I have my phone back now? I need to make a call."
The officer noticed her anxiousness and stood up. She said, "The situation I is still being verified so you'll have to wait wait until the interrogation is over.
You can leave after the facts are confirmed. "But I can return your phone to you now. I'll go get it."
