Chapter 217 Robin was taken to the police station ? Celines face turned pale .
Without a second thought , she hung up and turned to Hailey .
Hailey , I must go to the police station right now .
Im coming with you , Hailey said immediately .
At the police station , Celine and Hailey found Robin sitting in the holding area .
Celine rushed to her and grabbed Robins cold hands .
Robin , what happened ? Why are you here ? Robins face was pale , her expression hollow and dazed .
Celine , this is all because of that big star , Nikki Barnett .
Robins voice quivered as she explained .
Ms.
Barnett came to ELLA for the magazine shoot .
She needed to use a wire harness for one of the shots , but someone had cut the wire ahead of time .
She fell during the shoot , and afterward , she accused me .
She claimed she saw me cut the wire with her own eyes .
Thats why the police brought me in .
Celine , you have to believe me ! I didnt do it .
I would never do something like that .
I dont even know Ms.
Barnett personally ! Why would I harm her ? Robins bewilderment was palpable .
Nikkis sudden accusation had turned her into a suspect for attempted murder .
Hailey , standing nearby , looked equally stunned .
Who cut the wire , then ? If Ms.
Smith didnt do it , why would Nikki accuse her ? As far as I know , Nikki has no reason to hold a grudge against her .
Robin shook her head , confusion etched into her features .
Exactly ! Ive never done anything to her .
Why would she say it was me ? This doesnt make any sense .
Celines clear , steady gaze darkened momentarily , a flicker of something sharp passing through her eyes .
She gently reassured Robin , Dont worry , Robin .
Ill go talk to Nikki right now .
If she changes her statement , the police will have to let you go .
Celine and Hailey left the station without delay , heading straight for the hospital .
During the drive , Hailey broke the silence , her voice filled with confusion .
Celine , why do you think Nikki would frame Ms.

Smith for this ? Ms.
Smith is your best friend .
What Halley had only just started to suspect , Celine had already begun piecing together .
But for now , she said nothing .
In the VIP ward , Nikki sat comfortably on the bed .
For a magazine of ELLAs caliber , safety protocols had been excellent .
Even though the wire had snapped during the shoot , a thick foam mat had been placed below , leaving Nikki without so much as a bruise , When Celine and Hailey stepped into the room , Nikki greeted them as if she had been expecting them .
Her red lips curved upward .
Celine , Halley , youre here .
Celine walked closer to the bed , her gaze falling on Nikkis injury , Nikki , are you alright ? Nikki shook her head lightly .
Im fine .
Nikki , we just came from the police station .
Ms.
Smith would never have cut the wire .
Are you sure you didnt see it wrong ? Hailey said .
Celine looked at Nikki seriously .
Nikki , Robin is my best friend .
I hope youll reconsider and change your statement so she can be released Nikki leaned back lazily against the pillow .
Im feeling a bit thirsty , she said abruptly .
Her assistant , Alice Hum , immediately perked up .
Ill go get some water , she offered .
But Nikkis voice turned sharp as she snapped , I didnt ask you to do it ! Alice froze mid step , unsure of what to do next .
Nikki tilted her head slightly and shifted her gaze to Celine .
The message was unmistakable she wanted Celine to get the water .
Hailey opened her mouth to object , but Celine raised a hand to stop her .
Its fine , Ill do it .
Without hesitation , Celine poured a glass of water and brought it to Nikki .
Nikkis lips curled into a smug smile as she took the glass .
Celine , thank you .
She reached out to take the glass , but in the very next moment , her expression shifted .
With a dramatic motion , she slapped the glass away , sending it flying .
This water is so hot ! Were you trying to burn me to death ? she yelled .
