Chapter 582

“Are you serious?”

“…I.”

Noah’s eyes were probably as cold as Kyle’s were, she spat out coldly,

“If I had really tried to kill her, would it have been possible for Lenia Valtayer to still be alive to be able to make such an accusation?”

Kyle paused for the first time at Noah’s reply. He stared at her face for a moment, then turned to the typewriter again.

Clack. The only sound that filled the room for a while was the sound of the typewriter.

Noah covered her eyes and tried hard not to think that she wanted to destroy the desk. Finally, Kyle tapped and pressed the send button. With a small sigh, Kyle pressed something on the desk and spoke to someone other than her. 

“It’s over, Minister. I just sent all the transcripts.” 

– “You have had a hard time, Sir Leonard.”

Noah turned to the side, amazed by the voice coming from the wall. It was more like a voice was being transmitted through some mechanical device than a human voice. 

– “Let’s discuss it again with the Vice Minister. First, let the Baroness know the trial schedule first.” 

“Yes.”

With that, the short conversation was over. 

You’re going to trial now, Noah Park. It wasn’t surprising.

While Noah remained quiet and tried to appear calm, Kyle had left his seat and was sorting through the papers that were scattered on the desk. Without a word, Kyle turned around to leave  the interrogation room. 

Kyle walked to the door without hesitation. However, he stopped at the door, or to be precise, in front of the wall, he then lifted a flap attached to the wall and pressed something. 

“… … ?” 

‘What is he doing?’

Noah’s question was soon answered. Click. After taking a picture of her face the camera switched off. Then the recorder appeared to take a picture of her face from the side before that too was turned off. When Kyle pressed the button for one last time, the recorders throughout the interrogation room stopped making a sound and appeared to be turned off as well.

“…….”

Silence filled the interrogation room when the sound of the recorders stopped.

Kyle confirmed that the machines had all stopped working and came back to Noah.

“Well done, Miss Noah.”

This damn man finally called her name. The way Kyle spoke was back to the way he usually spoke to her. At that moment, she was overwhelmed with relief. As she blinked, Kyle placed the jacket he had removed onto the desk, then he sat in front of her.

“Were you really surprised?”

“…….”

Kyle unbuttoned his black shirt as he spoke to Noah. Noah replied in a muffled voice.

“None of your business.”

“Your complexion is pale.”

“I’m not pale.”

Noah realised why Kyle had treated her cold during the interrogation. It was because the video of her being interrogated was being sent up in real-time.

“No one can hear me now?”

“No one can hear you now. I turned off the recorders and transmitter. The time hmm…”

Kyle looked down at his watch to check the time they had left.

“I think we should be good for about thirty minutes..”

“…….”

“You must’ve been surprised to be dragged down here……. Miss Noah?”

Relief, irritation, resentment, and sorrow over her situation of being trapped in such a creepy place reached extremes, which made her eyes lose focus. Noah bit her lips and glared at Kyle.

“I’m really annoyed with you.”

“No, wait.”

Tears started to roll down Noah’s cheeks. Kyle jumped up in a panic.

“Why are you crying?”

“It’s really, really frustrating. What did I do wrong… Why should I be locked up in this interrogation room?”

“Miss Noah.”

“Also, even if no one else knew, you should. You should know that I didn’t… !”

‘It’s unfair. It’s unfair. It’s unfair! I had never done a criminal act at any time in the 27 years of my life, so why should I be in such a horrible place? Why was I possessing such a stupid body like this?’

To Noah, as an ordinary person, everything in this place was dreadful.

Noah was fed up and left her seat.

“I’m leaving. “

“……!”

Noah’s strong will to leave shook the air in the interrogation room. Just as the lock in the interrogation room crackled and was about to be ripped off, her shoulders were grabbed and her body was swung around.

“Miss Noah, hold on.”

As Noah twisted her body to get away from him, Kyle tried to stop her several times and eventually embraced her in his arms.

“You can’t leave yet. We can’t talk properly if you leave like this.”
