Chapter 252: Chapter 252: He Sexually Harassed Me in the Workplace

"Do you know why you were brought to the station?" Henry Stark’s sharp, dark eyes scrutinized the man across from him.

Justin Doyle, dressed in a white suit, calmly glanced around the interrogation room and chuckled. "I have no idea, Officer. Could I trouble you to explain it to me?"

Henry Stark’s brow slowly furrowed. "Do you know Evan Shepherd?"

"Evan Shepherd?" Justin Doyle thought for a few seconds, then nodded. "He’s Renee Brooks’s boyfriend. I forgot to mention, Renee Brooks is a girl I met on a dating app. Did you bring me here tonight just to ask about him?"

Kyle Morgan frowned. ’This guy is putting on an act,’ he thought. ’He’s a smooth operator.’

"Show him," Henry Stark said flatly.

Kyle Morgan stood up, took a file, and placed it in front of Justin Doyle.

Henry Stark’s tone was icy. "This is what you did to Evan Shepherd. Do you admit to it?"

Upon seeing the contents, Justin Doyle laughed again, shaking his head. "Officer, are you telling a joke? This is completely absurd. My sexual orientation is perfectly normal. I like women. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met Renee Brooks on a social media platform."

"This is a DNA sample we extracted from the deceased’s body." Henry Stark watched him, his gaze calm and serious. "As part of the investigative procedure, we now need to collect your DNA for comparison."

Justin Doyle had worn a smirk ever since he entered the interrogation room, but when Henry Stark said that, the smile on his lips suddenly froze, and his eyes began to shift evasively.

Seeing this, Kyle Morgan scoffed internally. ’Hmph, can’t keep up the act anymore.’

"I refuse to provide a DNA sample." Justin Doyle’s face turned cold. "This is an insult to my character. I demand to have my lawyer present. I will not answer any questions until my lawyer arrives."

"That is your right." Henry Stark gave a slight nod and gestured. "You can contact your lawyer now."

Justin Doyle made a call to have his lawyer come over.

KNOCK KNOCK— There was a knock on the interrogation room door.

Renee Jennings pushed the door open, glanced at Justin Doyle, and leaned in to whisper something in Henry Stark’s ear. "Fluffy says he records videos of everything and saves them on his computer to admire."

Henry Stark frowned, then got up and walked out of the interrogation room.

Justin Doyle stared at his back, a strong sense of unease inexplicably washing over him.

Half an hour later, Justin Doyle’s lawyer arrived at the police station and quickly had him released.

"Chief, why did you let him go?" Kyle Morgan asked, confused.

Henry Stark gave a wry smile. "Renee Jennings said his computer has evidence. I’ve already applied for a search warrant and an evidence seizure notice. Tomorrow, we’ll catch him completely off guard."

After speaking, he raised his wrist to check the time. It was already past ten.

"Let’s wrap it up."

"We’re done for the day! Want to grab a late-night snack?" Kyle Morgan ran over to ask Renee Jennings and Sawyer.

Zachary Conway slung an arm over his shoulder, feigning displeasure. "What’s that supposed to mean? Why didn’t you ask me and Levi Hollis?"

Kyle Morgan rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "Do I even need to ask you two? Is there any food you’d possibly say no to?"

"Kai, I’m actually not going tonight." Levi Hollis raised his eyebrows. "I have plans to get some sweet soup with someone."

"Sweet soup?" Zachary Conway’s mind immediately jumped to conclusions. "Spill it. Did you ask a girl out?"

Levi Hollis replied, "She’s probably a grown woman."

"You punk, are you finally getting a girlfriend?" Zachary Conway walked over and playfully put him in a headlock.

"Don’t get so excited," Levi Hollis explained. "I’m still single, just like you guys."

Zachary Conway: "..."

"Fine, don’t go. We’ll go by ourselves." Zachary Conway shoved him away in mock disgust and threw himself into Kyle Morgan’s arms.

Renee Jennings said with an amused laugh, "Well, have fun, you guys. I’ll treat you all to a late-night snack another day. I got up a little early today and I’m tired. I just want to go home and sleep."

"I’m not going either," Sawyer said. "I’m on a diet."

"You’re not even fat. What are you dieting for?" Kyle Morgan said, exasperated. "You think being as skinny as a rack of ribs looks good?"

Sawyer shot him a glare and retorted, "What does a straight guy like you know? Go eat your snacks."

"Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore." Kyle Morgan looked at Henry Stark. "Chief, are you coming with us?"

Henry Stark’s voice was mild. "No, I’ll drive Sawyer and Renee Jennings home."

Sawyer: "Chief, you don’t have to. I have my electric scooter."

Renee Jennings quickly waved her hands. "You don’t need to drive me either. I can just get a cab."

Henry Stark’s lips curled into a slight smile. "Save the cab fare for bubble tea."

Since he put it that way, Renee Jennings didn’t refuse again.

Justin Doyle believed the police had no concrete evidence and couldn’t touch him. The next day, he went to his company as if nothing had happened and even specifically asked Underwood, a new intern in the secretarial office, to make him coffee.

When Underwood went to the office to deliver the coffee, he was forced to stay.

Justin Doyle asked considerately, "Underwood, you’ve been with the company for almost half a month, haven’t you? Are you getting used to it?"

Underwood’s face flushed red with anger. "President Doyle, please don’t do this. It’s really awkward!"

"How is it awkward?" Justin Doyle said with a laugh. "You’re so easily embarrassed."

"You can’t go in—" The office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, accompanied by an assistant’s urgent voice. "President Doyle—"

Seeing the uniformed police officers, led by the same man who had interrogated him the day before, Justin Doyle’s face instantly turned ashen. He violently shoved Underwood off his lap and snarled, "What a disgrace!"

"President Doyle, you were the one who grabbed me and wouldn’t let go!" Underwood’s eyes blazed with fury.

Justin Doyle was so furious his temples throbbed. "You’re spouting nonsense! Are you trying to get revenge because I was going to fire you? Get out! I don’t want to see you!"

Underwood clenched his fists and walked furiously toward the door.

Henry Stark reached out a hand to stop him and asked coolly, "What did he just do to you?"

Underwood looked at the police uniform and instantly felt emboldened. "Officer, Justin Doyle was sexually harassing me at work..."

"I understand. I’ll need you to come to the station later to give a statement." After saying this, Henry Stark strode over to the desk.

Justin Doyle glared at him with a dark expression, grinding his teeth. "My lawyer made things perfectly clear yesterday!"

Henry Stark’s lip twitched into a smirk as he placed two documents in front of him. "Justin Doyle, this is a search warrant and an evidence seizure notice. You are suspected of..."

After hearing him out, Justin Doyle’s pupils contracted violently. Fear washed over him like a tidal wave. He instinctively tried to destroy the evidence, grabbing the laptop from the desk and hurling it.

Kyle Morgan and Zachary Conway moved in a flash, catching the rapidly falling laptop in mid-air.

Justin Doyle’s expression changed drastically. He roared at his assistant, "What are you standing there for? Grab the computer!"

The assistant didn’t dare move an inch. ’They’re the police!’

Henry Stark pulled a pair of handcuffs from his waist and beckoned to Justin Doyle with a finger. "You have the right to remain silent, but the criminal evidence on your computer will be presented in court."
