Chapter 853 Scolding Someone Without Swearing

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rae thought again about seeing Philippa’s photo in Kenzie’s house, now Kenzie looked like she had
nothing to do with this at all, but how would a one-time meeting leave behind photos?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rae suddenly felt very angry, she hoped that this case would be solved soon!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rae and Marcel went to the interrogation room to interrogate.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Manager Griffiths and Kenzie were separated.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;This was the first interrogation towards Kenzie.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rae did not know what Marcel thought, he merely asked Rae to retrieve that photo, the photo that was
taken from Kenzie’s house.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Once they entered the interrogation room, after the standard procedural recording, Marcel then looked
at Kenzie and said, “Miss Salinas, you lie! Philippa and you had known each other for very long!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Facing Marcel’s affirmative tone, without the slightest fear, Kenzie smiled lightly. She leaned backwards
against the back of the chair, crossing her arms, and showed a casual and calm demeanour, “May I
know why you say this, Mr Policeman?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Of course I have evidence!” Marcel was direct as well.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Really?” Kenzie raised an eyebrow, “Then take the evidence out!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Miss Salinas must surely be the kind of person that wouldn’t give up until the end, right?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“No!” Kenzie shook her head and corrected Marcel, “I’m the kind of person that wouldn’t give up even
after the end!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Marcel heard this and only smiled lightly, “I’m not interested as to how you are as a person, what I’m
interested in is that you clearly knew Philippa, but why do you pretend that you’ve only met her once?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kenzie looked seriously, examining Marcel. After a long while, she smiled and asked, “May I know your
name, Mr Policeman?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I’m Marcel Hopkins!” Marcel even told his own name, he was afraid of nothing.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kenzie’s words were filled with the provocation, she had scolded without any swear words, and even
scolded so knowledgably. Rae did not know if it were her, how she would answer.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But Marcel merely smiled lightly, not minding at all about Kenzie’s provocation. His eyes too, lit up with
a shine, “Miss Salinas, you are knowledgeable. You control both the careers of file management and
also public relations and both have prospered, and it’s rare that your personality is also so open!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Public relations?! Being open?!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rae stunned, thinking about the incident between Kenzie and Zack. Indeed, Kenzie had been very
open that night. Marcel too, scolded her without a bit of swear words.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Once he said so, Kenzie froze slightly, understanding instantly what Marcel was referring to. But she
did not know the people beside that night were Marcel and Rae, she only saw Rae but did not expect
for Rae to follow her, so she did not ponder upon it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But Marcel’s words made her thought that Marcel had already carried out some certain investigations
on her, that was why he said this. Indeed, she had another career now as a female public relations
officer. She could have not used seduction but she liked it, whenever she met the suitable man she had
always liked to try out that feeling. Marcel had said this, but Kenzie was not angry as she smiled and
replied, “Well, Captain Hopkins is indeed more experienced and astute. Since you have already&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;investigated my primary career, then stop beating around the bush. Tell me, what else do you want to
know?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Marcel leaned back as well, looking down at Kenzie mightily. He could indeed intimidate others by his
demeanour. He watched Kenzie for a long time before he spoke, “How did you and Philippa meet?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kenzie still smiled, “Captain Hopkins, you can’t interrogate without some sincerity. Where’s your
evidence? How can you prove that I knew Philippa?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Rae!” Marcel did not look at Rae, but called from her to show the evidence. Rae took out that photo of
Philippa and pushed it towards Kenzie.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kenzie took a look and paused slightly, she then glanced suddenly at Marcel. She laughed, as if she
felt a bit of disdain, “I never expect for the mighty Mr Policeman to actually become a house-breaking
thief! You have really widened my sight, when did you visit my house?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They were exposed?!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rae felt guilty, indeed, since the way they obtained the evidence was not exactly just and honest. At
this moment she felt guilty, as she was also one of the thieves.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Just when Rae lowered her head in guilt and did not dare to look, the back of her foot was suddenly
stepped on by someone. Rae raised her head instantly and looked at Marcel who was beside. That
man had actually no change in expression and no remorse, as he slowly retracted the foot that he
stepped on the back of Rae’s foot. He posed a casual look as he stared at Kenzie, smiling lightly, “Why
do you say this, Miss Salinas?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Why did Marcel step on her?&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rae came to her senses and realised that Captain Hopkins was reminding her to not be guilty. Since
the leader was already being shameless openly, she could only cooperate and play along!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“There is only one copy of this photo and it’s in the photo album at my house!” Kenzie retorted, “Don’t
tell me that this photo which you have is taken from somewhere else, and my house happened to lose
this photo together the other photo of Teddy!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“What’s a Teddy?” Marcel did not answer but asked in reply.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“That’s the male donkey!” Kenzie was no longer angry, but instead she stared at Marcel in a disdainful
manner as she spoke, looking down on him. “From what I see, your case couldn’t be cracked, Captain
Hopkins. Your integrity indeed has to improve, stealing and lying, this sort of police officer is really to be
looked down upon. God only knew how your leader picked you, I want to start a lawsuit and sue you for
stealing!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;That perverted donkey that had caused the trouble actually had a name, and it was even Teddy?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It was indeed a name that worried others, did it really think that it was as open as the starry skies, and
was as wide as the universe? Daring to be named Teddy!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“What evidence do you have?” Marcel asked in return what Kenzie had said. “Miss Salinas, don’t speak
simply when you have no evidence, or else I can sue you for defamation as well!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“This is the evidence!” Kenzie pointed at the photo.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Marcel smiled, “I advise you to go back and check it thoroughly, who knows if you have misplaced the
photo that you have in your home! But referring to what you have just said, so you affirm that this photo
has originated from your house? Given this, surely you must not have just met Philippa once! Further,
this photo had the date when it was taken on it, and it shows three months ago. Look carefully, Miss
Salinas!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rae silently was impressed of Marcel’s lack of shame. He had clearly taken it himself, yet he lied
without batting an eye. For a lie to reach this sort of level, it was really horrible! Rae felt that she had
viewed Marcel wrongly, if he was not a policeman, he could have done a lot of outlawed things!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kenzie was checkmated, she wanted to throw a tantrum but she could not.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She seemed to be taken off guard, why did it sound like Marcel was right no matter what they said?
Kenzie’s mind turned extremely fast, and after a few seconds she smiled, “Captain Hopkin can talk
well, but you’re also very shameless! I’m not as shameless as you are! This photo surely isn’t the one
at my house, I think the one at my house must have been put back! This one is a copy, but I’m not like
you, having done something but not admitting it. I do know Philippa, we met each other while riding
horses at the ranch three months ago. She happened to be with one of my ex-lovers, and we almost
fought!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Did you hit her, or did she hit you?” Marcel asked.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Is there any difference?” Kenzie asked in reply, “Shouldn’t you ask who the ex-lover is?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I believe he’s named Braeden!” Marcel smiled and answered.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kenzie froze at this moment, her eyes flashing with sharpness and surprise. She looked at Marcel and
did not speak for a long while.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rae paused as well, she even halted the pen in her hand out of a bit of surprise. She did not expect
Marcel to say this, did he guess or did he already have a clue? She did not dare to affirm, when she
looked at Marcel, Marcel was watching Kenzie without any expression. Rae did not know what was
going on, she merely felt that since Marcel had said this and sounded this sure, then he must had
arranged for others to follow the entire case and she was merely one of the persons investigating&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;openly! No wonder Marcel was so sure that he would solve the case after three days, it looked like he
had got a part of the evidence on his hands!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But how was Philippa related to Braeden? Why had she not found out about their relations?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“So, this means my sources are reliable, that man is Braeden!” Marcel continued without any change in
expression, “Philippa was together with Braeden, and you were once Braeden’s girlfriend. You’ve
broken up over some reason, and got back together after for some reason. You wanted all of Braeden,
but he only gave you a part of him!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kenzie was stunned again, seeming as if she did not expect Marcel to know so in such detail. But she
was not angered either, and instead she spoke calmly, “I must say that I’m impressed with your
sensitivity and ability to investigate, Captain Hopkins, to even find out about what happened between
Braeden and I more than a decade ago. Actually, Braeden and I are friends with benefits now,
whenever we are free we would hookup, apart from this there’s nothing else.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;To talk about hooking up so openly, Rae did not know whether it was her principles that were
problematic, or the society now was indeed too casual. Why would they even talk about hooking up so
openly?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“What about any transactions financially?” Marcel still asked about the key point.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Financially?” Kenzie raised an eyebrow. “It’s possible to transact with anyone financially, since it’s
been like this, why not trade with a friend with benefits that matches my cause?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her rebuttal was so right and proper, that Rae felt that she herself was abnormal, as if Kenzie was the
normal one. The corner of her eye glanced at Marcel and found that Marcel’s expression seemed
unaffected as well.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Indeed, even Captain Hopkins himself had mentioned about hooking up. Although this was not related
to others and would not affect traffic nor order, it was nothing. But it affected the law and morality!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Miss Salinas, please recount how you fought with Philippa at the ranch!” Marcel asked flatly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After Kenzie paused for a while, she continued, “Nothing had happened originally on that day, Braeden
brought Philippa to the ranch to ride horses, and I went by myself. But then we met and I provoked
Philippa with my words. I said that she was just a juicy young plant, Braeden would take a fancy
towards her now but not longer after he would change his tastes! She said that I was like a pickled
vegetable, although tasty but the vegetable’s all old and lack of any moisture. I really hate for others to
say that I’m old, whoever says I’m old I’ll fight them!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“You really don’t look that young anymore!” Marcel replied.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kenzie froze, her face looking angered. “Captain Hopkins, do you believe that I can push you over now
and forcibly make love to you?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rae was shocked!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;How shameless could it be, for her to say these bold words that she wanted to make love to a police
officer in the interrogation room?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But Marcel refused her without even so much as a blush, “Sorry, I’m not interested in pickled
vegetables. Also, I don’t do hookups!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
