Bright knew Lina would not say anything and would be calm.
"Zoe, tell me how Doris got hurt!" He shifted his focus.
After all, Zoe was a student and had not experienced a lot. She was not as calm as Lina, and the point
was that she had been afraid of him since childhood.
"I... I don't know. I don't know anything." Zoe denied it.
She remembered what Lina had taught her. No matter what Bright asked, she just needed to say she
didn't know because he had no evidence to prove it.
"Brother Bright, I don't understand why you brought us here and treated us like criminals when Doris is
hurt." Lina had to give up to leave. She turned to face Bright. "Or did Doris say something to you?"
"You got into my office and had an argument with Doris, and Zoe pushed her over, and then Doris hit
the coffee table! When you saw her in a coma, you didn't tell anyone, nor did you call 120. You just
walked away!" Bright blamed them for their mistakes.
"Doris is just a 5-year-old kid. Even if she was hostile to Lina, she is just not sensible. And you pushed
her down and then left her behind. It is intentional homicide! As the child's father I have the right to sue
you!"
"If not for the sake of the friendship between the Kim family and the Lee family, not for the sake of us
growing up together, I would not bring you here, but send you directly to the police station!"
Lina was not convinced with Bright's serious accusation and was angry. She was not scared, but Zoe
was weak in the legs. "Brother, I... I didn't kill her!"
Lina helped Zoe sit on the sofa and whispered, "Don't listen to him. He doesn't have any evidence! Sit
here and don't listen or say anything. Leave it to me."
"Brother Bright," Lina said, approaching Bright, "although I know little about law, you should give out
evidence when you charge us. Words don't constitute sound proof."
"Lina, I'll have the proof." Bright was confident, "I'm giving you the opportunity to tell the truth. But if you
don't want to tell me, that's fine. I have plenty of time. You can stay here for a while and tell them
anything you need."
Bright stood up, as tall and proud as a straight pine.
He sorted out his suit jacket lightly and started to leave.
"Brother Bright, are you going to keep Zoe and me under house arrest?" Lina looked pale and clenched
her fists.
"I just asked you to be a guest here. Don't think too much about it." Bright looked back at her frozen
face. "Lina, have a good time."
"Brother Bright, house arrest is also against the law." Lina reminded him.
"Do you have any proof that you are under home arrest?" The smile in Bright's eyes was lukewarm,
"and put your mobile phones and other communication devices on the table."
"Brother Bright, these are personal belongings. You have no right to do that." Lina knew that Bright was
serious, and she was afraid.
"If you won't give them out, then I'll have to ask them to help." Bright swept at those several people in
black and said, "Do you want them to force you?"
"Brother Bright, we are not prisoners!" Lina was not willing to be obedient. If there was no mobile
phone, how could she contact the outside world?
She needed to tell her father and Mr. Francis about their situation as soon as possible. Now, only they
could save her and Zoe.
"Don't talk nonsense in front of me. There is nothing I can't do in my area if I want to." Bright's eyes
were deep. "Lina, you'd better be good."
"And what if I am not?"
"Then don't blame me for being unkind." Bright chuckled, "They don't know how to be gentle to girls."
Bright made a sign to the people in black. Two of them came forward and was about to make a body
search.
"My father won't let you go if you touch me." Lina began to retreat when she saw them coming close.
But the men in black obviously did not listen to her, and continued to approach her step by step.
Zoe first took out the phone and gave it to them with terror, "Here... Here you are."
She urged Lina, "Lina, give them the phone. It's no use fighting against Brother."
"Brother Bright, how will you tell my father and your father what you have done to me?" Lina had never
been treated like this all her life.
And the man who treated her like this was the one who cared about her and who she loved!
She could not tolerate him being so callous to her. She felt that her heart was crushed by him, and it
was very painful.
"My girl almost... how do you explain to me for treating my daughter so coldly?" Bright's heart ached at
the thought of little Doris lying in a pool of blood.
He couldn't imagine that if he got back to the office a bit later, Doris's blood would stain the carpet and
she would bleed to death.
He could not forgive anyone who had tried to hurt Doris and get her killed even if the one was his once-
beloved sister, for such a fault was like murder!
"If you can't see your own faults, and can't accept Doris, how can you say that you are my sisters, and
expect me to love you as I did? Think about it yourself."
He didn't look at Lina or Zoe, but turned and strode away without a trace of affection.
Lina watched Bright walking farther and farther away, deeply feeling that he was farther and farther
away from her world, so far that she could no longer touch him and stay in his world.
She was very unwilling to accept this. She instinctively ran to catch up with him, but the men in black
stretched out to stop her, not giving her any chance.
"Brother Bright, you can't do this to me and Zoe!" Lina looked at Bright as he disappeared in the
doorway. What responded to her was the slamming of the door.
"Miss Kim, please go back." The men in black reminded her.
"Get out of here!" Lina vented her anger out on these people.
But they acted like they weren't listening. Their job was to keep Lina and Zoe from leaving.
"Lina, if brother has made up his mind about something, no one can change..." Zoe pulled Lina back
into the sofa.
The men in black, seeing them sitting quietly in the living room, disappeared as if they had never been
there before.
Lina was miserable, her eyes stinging and red with tears.
"Lina, let's be honest..." Zoe wanted to compromise.
