Chapter 2365
Darcie's face changed suddenly. "What was she doing at the police station?"
"I don't know. I couldn't ask in detail. But she had a little girl with her, around six or seven years old."
Darcie frowned, thinking for a moment. "Did you talk to her? What did you say?"
Alijah said, "I was afraid she'd be suspicious, so I told her why I was at the police station. She didn't ask much."
Being open and honest would arouse less suspicion than hiding something.
Darcie asked, "Is that all?"
Alijah confirmed, "Yes."
Darcie pondered over it and said in a deep voice, "Why did you tell the police your hands were burned by acid?"
Alijah explained, "I said I was injured by acid while cleaning at the company."
Darcie complained, "Why say it happened at the company? How could there be such high-concentration acid there?"
Alijah retorted, "I couldn't say it happened at home. The police are questioning more than just me. If the couple being questioned can't lie, it would be exposed." Darcie frowned, "That couple is crazy and deaf. You can't handle two cripples?" Alijah's face turned ugly. "Don't be so harsh. They're just unfortunate people."
"What are they unfortunate about? A gambler and a domestic violence offender replaced by a hardworking, knowledgeable husband. They should be grateful." Alijah felt uncomfortable.
Darcie, too tired to argue further, said, "I'll talk to Jaylene about you being her driver. Wait for my news."
Alijah swallowed his retort and whispered, "Okay."
After hanging up, Darcie, feeling uneasy, called Aubrey in to handle the details.

"Probably not. The President sent her
to the hospital. And it's not her fault. The cleaning agent the company m t bought i's too corrosive. A few days ago, a security guard was injured worse.
